I just got a PM that reads: The majority of over the counter tags for bow and rifle are not unit specific unless you buy a left over tag for a draw only unit.
Is this accurate? I have an archery cow tag for AZ in Nov but am thinking it may be a very difficult to fill, especially after multiple gun and bow seasons combined with the chance of biblical rain from El Nino so am thinking about a Colorado run beforehand. I'd like to chase bulls in western CO but haven't actually dug into the regs yet. Reading the rules for CA, AZ, UT, WA and NV has me dizzy. I'd like to confirm this OTC availability before setting time aside to study up on the CO regs. Can anyone give me some basic info on OTC tags for nonresidents? Am open to any recommendations. I've been hunting elk for a few years with my bow, gotten close but haven't even nocked an arrow yet. May even stoop to a rifle just to get #1 off my back (if I saw a huge bull and could not get within bow range). I dunno, figure I can decide once I'm there. Wanna put some elk in the freezer and stop eating tags ya know? <g> I'm 55 yrs old and slowing down every year...don't know how many two week hunts I've got left in me.
Much obliged for any advice.
