RE: Number of Elk you can take in Co.
Cherokee_Outfitters,
Am I understanding the Co. Regs. and your comment that as a resident of Colorado, you have to submit to the draw to hunt deer. Maybe being from the southeast and spoiled on the ease of getting a license to hunt deer and other game (for residents), it seems to me that for a resident of any state to have to draw a tag for that states' game animals, when that resident pays taxes, buys hunting goods that are taxed and normally a percentage goes to support wildlife, it is a ripoff for that resident.
Maybe I'm missing something here. I understand that if a specific game animal (herd) is down you lower the amount to be taken or shut an area down for a while. But to make a resident have to compete for a license (tag) just doesn't seem right.
