RE: How to hunt elk??????
 

Bhunter50,
The general archery tag in CO is either sex. They do have antlerless tags but it is an additional tag.
Get on the CDOW web site and go to statistics, a lot of good info. It will give you herd numbers for areas. There are maps to look at elevations and amount of public ground in the Regulation section.
The area around Gunnison has a lot of elk, lots of public ground. The flat tops is a good area, but you better be ready to pack in and out to get away from hunters and guides. The southern part of CO along the NM border has good hunting but can be hard country. North Park is a great area. but CWD has been found there. There are so many options here it is hard to tell you where to start. Just the difference of east or west of the Continental Divide is huge. And don't over look some of the draw areas, build points for later on.

Wilderness areas in Colorado, and probably most western states, have prohibitions agains any wheeled vehicle in a "designated wilderness area"! This includes taking a wheeled cart to transport the carcass out of the area. If it has wheels it is illegal in a wilderness area. Foot traffic only, human, horse, mule, goat, etc., no wheels!
