Colorado / CPW Elk Herd Reports

[Kbhillhunter]

Does CPW still publish the elk herd reports? There used to be one for each quadrant of the state they would produce annually. Had a hard time finding it online if they are still out there.

Big Game -> Elk -> Statistics -> Population Estimates (done by DAU).

CPW's website was redone a year or two ago by an actual moron making finding info tough at times.

Thanks for sending these! The reports I'm talking about had written content too. There was a section for subregion (related GMUs) and they would give a description of the unit, and an assessment of the heard, things like that. I think it included both Elk and Mule deer content in one report, and they produced one for each quadrant of the state.

The CPW Big Game Tag Recommendation may be what you're looking for.

No. They don't publish those any more.

I tried to ask once and they just avoided my question.
