The Colorado Leftover Draw Started August 7th....
Anyone else out there work the Leftover tag draw here in Colorado?
================================================== =

Since Internet purchases were opening up on August 8th, I went down on the 7th and got my second elk tag (a cow only tag) to go along with my either sex tag that I got in the Aprildraw. Now I am all set, in our camp we like the "double tag system" as it pretty well gets rid ofany "party hunting" problems and whoever gets into the elk can "get right with the program" as two hunters with four elk downpretty well guarantees at minimum an "okay result" for the camp as a whole.... since we all split the meat evenly.

As is typical we had a couple "weak candidates" this year whowere gung ho in January, but then chose notto spend money or commit back in the primary April drawand now they didn't get on the ball here in August for the Leftover Draw either, and as a result all theleftover tags for the firstelk rifle season in our area are gone, zip, zilch, nada.... snooze& you lose!

Once again demonstrates that for many, the idea of going elk hunting is much more attractive than the reality of actually making it happen.
