If you were looking to come to Colorado???You could get an over the counter Elk tag but the deer tag will have to be by draw. If you planned on coming back in the future ???? I would apply for an Elk and deer tag through the draw system and if you are unsuccessful you will receive a preference point for future draws. Also since MOST of the OTC tags for Elk are not considered trophy units you can buy one with your refunded $$$ and still get a pref. point and hunt.
Either way I think you should apply for the draw and go from there. Again deer tags except for some doe tags in certain area's are through the draw.
When I say trophy area's ......that doe's not mean that a lot of these area's are not quality units. But with pref. points for the future.....You would have a better opportunity to draw a high quality area in the future.

Also....... All muzzleloader tags are by draw or as a leftover (after the draw) license.
