Thanks. I just got my brochure today.

They just made a bunch of cows tags "A" tags in the wolf units. Real shame.

 

[cnelk]

^^ Yep. They eliminated a lot of B List cow tags in the wolf areas.

Awesome, already have guide on reserve now to draw an archery tag.

Win for residents starting in 2028. Nonresident allocation applies to first and second draw but gain a point if first choice not drawn.

First rifle buck deer tags and early rifle doe tags is full retard, as far as I'm concerned.

You mean from a crowding standpoint?

What happened to OTC??

 

[Coveyleader]

No change for me, B cow tags still OTC and draw tag this year.

Our buck quality has decreased. They come out with more buck tags for a season that has been historically elk only and it is busy with with elk hunters at that. So there is something of a crowding point.

Then, add some doe tags to a season that has the appeal of very few hunters out. Personally, I see zero reason to be shooting mule deer does in the areas that I know. There just are not that many deer.

Not totally true… they can grab a coveted eastern plains OTC tag!

I’m curious if they eliminated some of those cow tags altogether or just switched them to list A. I can’t imagine the few wolves we have now are already making that big of an impact.

Perhaps I am underestimating how much damage wolves can do? Maybe it’s CPW bracing for future impacts?

This will be my 3rd year elk hunting as a resident in CO, trying to get over the learning curve this year! I was hoping to pick up a list B rifle cow tag to help increase my chances at filling the freezer, but it looks like I won’t have too many opportunities to do that now.
