colorado. tags are over the counter. public land. it isnt easy hunting at all. it is deffinatley the toughest thing you will probaly ever do iin your life. the elk are never close to a road and you work your tail off for 1 decent oppurtunity in 8-10 days. and thats just for a chance at a legal bull. but if ya love the thrill of the high country and buglin elk it all seems worth it!
