    Colorado Overcrowding Elk Hunting

    Here’s some OTC trends from the CPW video below. Would be great to see 2021 data. Also note some OTC units changed to draw in 2020, so that may explain the decline in 2020.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Glassing Smarter

    Here are some things that work well for me: - don’t skyline yourself, I drop over a ridgetop or peak and sit 10-15’ down the other side, this does limit the area I can glass without moving but I’m much less visible to those closer animals. After I’ve cleared one side, I’ll slowly move to the...

    Colorado GMU 18 - ELK Guidance

    I'd plan for some snow on the ground, at least in shaded areas, north facing slopes. There 'usually' isn't a lot of snow in early Nov.

    Unit 80/81 draw unit now. Need insight.

    Your points only get used when you draw your first choice. If your first choice was a harder to draw unit and you don't draw it, you get a point for this year (in addition to the point you have from last year). Plus you could still draw your 2nd choice or 3rd choice tag (neither of which use...

    Colorado Leftover/Reissue List

    I wonder if the person that normally does the reissue list is on vacation, maybe for the last week of archery. Interesting to see if the list has twice as many tags next week. Also guessing the list will get smaller and smaller as more hunting seasons pass.

    Colorado Leftover/Reissue List

    Agreed the list seems awful small, all fits on 1 page.

    Support group… I just can’t help myself!

    I can relate, have a used BTX, 95, tripod setup on the way to me. That will make 4 tripods, 4 pairs of binoculars, and a spotting scope. Definitely didn’t do the buy once, cry once path, but needed to see for myself. More expensive in the long run for sure. Now need to figure out what I won’t...

    How many years before you got your first bull?

    My first elk was a bull, 3rd year hunting. That was 5ish years ago, haven't gotten another bull, but have gotten 2 cows and 3 bucks. Nothing last year, working on changing that for this year.

    CO Leftovers Posted

    The secondary draw had all the tags that weren't taken in the primary draw, in my case there wasn't anything that interested me. The leftover list has anything that wasn't taken in the primary or secondary draw, but more importantly includes tags that were not paid for or turned in, some of...

    CO Leftovers Posted

    Started waiting in line at 8:30am, got in about 9:03, 3 tags I was trying for were already gone. Agreed on the system not letting anyone in to prevent crashing, at least that part worked.

    rifle or bow? first CO OTC

    I hunt CO both muzzleloader and rifle, I'd recommend archery season, even if it's during muzzleloader season. Agreed with one comment above, usually see more archery hunters than ML hunters, even though the ML hunters are wearing orange vs camo for the archery hunters. Agreed both seasons are...

    Help with binos

    I 2nd those Nikon Monarch HG 10x42 in the classifieds. I have the exact pair (10x42) myself and think they're fantastic, very clear edge to edge and bright at first and last light and a huge improvement over the Nikon Monarch 3 I was replacing.

    Mountain Bike Elk?

    I used mine once a few years ago on some closed FS roads in Colorado (GMU 14). I used it for the trip in and out, all hunting was day trips on foot. It worked well, had to walk some of the steeper uphills, anything flat or downhill was great though, much easier and faster than walking. We...
