RE: Elk hunting without the draw?
SB, there are "unlimited" OTC antlered tags available in CO, primarily for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seasons, in various units. Additionally, there are thousands of leftover antlerless tags as well, for 1st through 4th seasons, in various units. I believe the leftovers are available in early August. Check the Colorado Division of Wildlife webpage for more information. They can direct you to guides/outfitters (if necessary) as well.
Good luck.
