Default RE: cow elk hunt

If you are just looking to take a cow for meat then there is such an over abundance of cows in Colorado that you really do not need to pay for a private hunt. A cow is a cow is a cow. There are no antlers to measure so there is no need to pay someone else for a hunt. They are just about giving the tags away for cows. You could just about pitch a tent anywhere in the mountains and see cows.

Before you decide on paying for a cow hunt I would do a little research for yourself. A good option is applying for the early season cow rifle hunt. It is in September during the rut so locating them is relatively easy.

A good web site for colorado elk hunting and outfitters is http://elkcamp.com/.

Good luck!

White River National Forrest heard is larger than any other heard in the country.

Most all have high numbers of cows though. I can literally drive into the mountains on just about any given day and see cows. They are a dime a dozen. There is a reason that the cost is half that of a bull tag and the DOW is offering second tags if one is a cow tag. Many "out of staters" hunt around Vail and Steam Boat. The area around Salida holds a good number of elk as well. Sometimes, if you have the time to put in before the appliction deadline, you can get permission from land owners here on the front range to hunt elk. They are becoming a real nusance in the foot hills where there is a lot of private land and little hunting.

If you do not have the ability to get away from the roads and people I would reccomend hunting in the third or fourth seasons as the elk will be down from the high altitudes and in the valleys searching for easier food supplies. It will be cold though so come prepared to stay warm.

We usually hunt around Craig in the Black National Forrest and have pretty good luck with both bulls and cows. Like bigbulls said, there is no way I would pay an outfitter for a cow hunt, but then I don't pay for bull hunts either.

I went on a Colorado private land cow elk hunt in 2003 with an outfittter who is a great guy. We hunted on his land and land he leases. I brought home a very nice cow. For the guys that live in an area that elk do, I sure understand why they won't pay an outfitter, but I live 800 miles away and needed his help. It was such a good time my dad and I are going this year. I'll give more info in a private message. Jim
