First Archery Elk Hunt

[ChaseMosby]

Was planning on going OTC this in Colorado last year and ended up having a newborn the week I was supposed to go. I know they went away with OTC in Colorado. So my question is what state can I get a guaranteed archery hunt in. I would prefer Colorado since I live closest to there but any other options ?

What State Can A Nonresident Archery Hunt Elk Over The Counter

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'What state can a nonresident archery hunt elk over the counter' themselves.

Still easy to get a tag in CO. MT has decent odds for 0 pts. I think Idaho's otc are already sold, but UT has some too. You could simultaneously Roll the dice on NM

Any CO unit that was OTC archery last year will likely be able to be drawn this year with 0 points.
Good Luck!

CO probably still your best bet, not general but I doubt it will be hard to get tags. NM is a great option.

For a bull I would say CO. Start putting in for other states tho. You can get cow tags easier if you’re looking to fill the freezer.

Colorado will be the highest odds for a tag but Montana isn't bad either (~50% with 0 points). I went on my first archery elk hunt last season and saw tons of elk in the unit I hunted in Montana. Wasn't able to connect but I got VERY close on countless occasions (within 30 yards once and within 80 yards three times).
