txhunter58 you kill me. If I ever invite anyone to share a camp with me ( I usually like to hunt alone ) you'll be the first one. But seriously 2 elk for 650.00 ? Thats an awfull lot of great meat for winter for the price. Good luck next fall where ever you go. And thanks for being a good sport about the whole subject. Later.

What fisherking said. Here's a map of units offering additional licenses.

Thanks for all the up to date information. I've been dreaming of an elk or combo hunt for quite some time. I'd read on the Colorado state site that they were thinking of dropping non-resident cow tag prices but figured it was just talk. I'd heard that the elk cow tastes better than my favorite Iowa whitetail, I'd love to find out.

HMMMM, suddenly a 2002 elk hunt seems a bit more attractive .....


Thanks for the info

They now have an article on the Colorado DOW website officially explaining the price changes. I may be reading through the lines, but it seems like they are priming the pump for a resident license increase too. They mention that a resident pays $30 for an elk tag and this "hasn't changed in over 10 years." Or I could be reading something in to it that is not there.

$50.00 for an elk tag, holy $hit, that's way too much!I live here for gods sake.They're going to price us locals out of hunting next!Just kidding guys, lighten up.I wouldn't mind that at all, if they need more funds to sustain the habitat and research, than so be it.That would still be cheap for such an experiance as is elk hunting.I thought that they should have raised our prices when they raised the o/s prices and not raised the o/s prices so much, but apparently they had a goal in mind, and that met their goal.This next season should be good for all, if this winter stays like it has so far!

Hey Howler...don't feel bad. In Ohio we can take 2 deer and 3 turkeys in some areas. If you're a RESIDENT it still costs $115. That's highway robbery.

Any changes for the either sex archers????
I suppose that our tags are going up to $470 as well? Do we get a rebate if we only take a cow? And will they now sell cow only archery tags for the $250?
