OTC Archery Elk Units

[Tcatt]

Can someone tell me where to find which units in CO will be OTC archery In 2023? I have searched and I’m finding mixed information. I know the reg book doesn’t come out unit Feb.

Won't know for sure until the 2023 brochure comes out. Probably won't change much from last year.

Also agree. Don't see much changing from 22

Thanks guys, I just hate to make a bunch of plans on a particular unit and it turn into a draw unit.

You outta be alright to make plans if your not relying on getting a draw unit at this point... we usually know ahead of time when units are changing in the brochure... they want people aware so no one ends up in a draw unit without a tag that used to be OTC.

Could be a thing of the past in the blink of an eye. Although I’m not sure why it doesn’t affect rifle hunts.

If you make plans to hunt OTC and they go to limited you would have a good chance of drawing at 0-1 point.

I believe it's a result of archery hunters bitching more about crowding. Rifle hunters seem more expectant of the pumpkin patch. The change to limited is, in my opinion, a response to these complaints more than management decision.

Great! It’s not based on the soyance then. Wonder if Faucis influence is in play here…..
