come on guys , help out an old man, i need to know where i can find a good place to hunt elk this year in colo. i know area 45 and 82 a little,
otc tags
I can't help you with a good place in those unitsbut I have archery hunted in several otc areas and have always managed to locate elk. Wish I could be more help, sorry. Good luck
If you hunt the 45, my free advice is to go the2nd or 3rd season. You can pick up an OTC bull tag and on Aug 8th, you can pick up a leftover cow tag, an easier "either-sex" or better hunt.
Where might you be headed in the 45?

I would like to know how old too. I am 74 and I need a good, easy to get to, sure fire 6x6 hangout. At least if you reverse the numbers of my age I am. Just pulling your chain md1shot. Don't expect to come on a new website and get some "hot spots" without networking for awhile. Good luck. Elk hunting is addicting

I dont know colorado unit by unit, but common sense tells you that since New Mexico has great elk, Arizona has great elk, eastern Utah has great elk,so.....the areas of colorado that border these ....south west colo should be the best for big bulls. I may be wrong, but I would start out w/ that assumption until I found out otherwise.
thanks guys
i know thats why they call it hunting,as you all know any tips on a elk hunt is a help, i guess im not that old after all turned 45 sat but fill like 80 if you know what i mean
the best thing i can think of to bag a elk is to get in the back country away from roads and people and do alot of glassing.
have two buddys going with me this year 1st elk hunt for 1 of them, by the way i live in ky. and hunt whitetail so if any body needs any tips on hunting them i would by happy to help !this is a pleasure to talk to all you guys and i hope to get more feed back THANKS ALL

I am not going to tell you where to go exactly but I will tell you that unit 45 definetly has a very healthy population of elk and also some very good bulls. There are bulls in this unit large enough to make B&C and definetly P&Y.
I hunt unit 45 myself and it is an under subscribed unit. Meaning that there are more cow tags available than hunters hunting it. Which means that the elk numbers are high in this area
You could certainly do a whole lot worse than unit 45.
Are you going archery or rifle?
