2026 Colorado Elk

[BillR0118]

It's time to burn my 26 non-resident elk points in Colorado. My daughter will be applying separately with her 4 points for a cow tag. I narrowed it down to Units 66, 49 or 501 for muzzle loader and could consider 66 for first rifle. It looks like these units will give me bang for the buck on my points and neither one of us should have a problem drawing. Looking for an outfitter for semi guided or 2 on one. Any advice would be appreciated.

Dont be pissy but if i had 26 preference points i would not burn them on a tag that did not let me hunt with a modern bolt action rifle. With my luck it would rain non stop all week and the elk would all stay 350 yards away from me.

Isn’t 66 1st rifle around a 10 point draw?

I believe that’s pretty accurate. I’m assuming hunting with his daughter and her having a cow tag must be a priority, which is great. But yes, will be leaving a bunch of points on the table.
