Colorado OTC elk units

[sanders3663]

Do the units available for OTC elk hunts in Colorado change year to year or are they pretty consistent? Starting to plan a first Colorado hunt for next year but not sure how much time to put into planning on a specific unit if it might not be included in the OTC units for elk.

I have noticed in the last couple of seasons they have pulled a few out of OTC archery......The new guide for '23 list a handful of units that are new to the draw for archery.

Also, beware when using TopRut to plan. I was checking it out as its now free with an OnX subscription. Their OTC unit map is wrong when comparing to the CPW map that cnelk posted above. Specifically central units.
