As you probably know, CO has a large number of draw areas, but also some over the counter areas. The 2005 regs will probably be published in about 5 months or so with the applications for tags if you wish to hunt a draw area.

I provide a research service for those who wish to hunt on their own. For $35 I will research drawing and hunter success for areas, provide tag applications, and maps of areas of interest. All I require is a detailed description of the hunter, capability, physical condition, etc so I can provide a reasonable opportunity for success and hunter expectation. Southern CO offers great opportunity for hunt success, but large trophy bulls (such as those in northern NM) are really quite rare. As you know, CO elk numbers are quite high and it appears that the 2004 season was exceptional.
