I am organizing an archery elk hunt that is to take place in a couple weeks in the northwestern part of colorado but since this is my first out of state hunt i have a few questions. Can 4-wheelers be used on BLM land? In my home state of Wisconsin you can buy a tag and kill a deer anywhere in the state, but from the info i gathered it doesnt look like it is that way in CO, I was just wondering if that is true. Any other info that could help out a rookie elk hunter would be greatly appreciated.

If you are doing a elk hunt in Colorado in a couple of weeks and you don't even know what units you can hunt in, you better get on the stick. My achery tag is state wide except for Ltd units, I would think yours is the same, unless out of state is different.Atv's are allowed in the blm where we hunt, but all areas are different. You need to google DOW Colorado check out our web site. There are plenty of phone numbers for you to call. If you're the organizer, you are way behind, and you could look kind of foolish if you don't do a lot of work fast. If you cannot find the help you need, give me a call and I will hook you up with someone who can answer all of your questions. You should be fine with just calling our DOW, they go above and beyond when you need help. They will also go above and beyond if they catch you hunting where you are not suppose to be or breaking any other law! Good Luck!

Just so i dont look so bad i'll tell yall the story behind this hunt. Last weekend me, my dad, and my brother were sitting around having a beer and talking about our upcoming hunt in Idaho later in the season(already planned) and about how we wouldnt be able to do it again next year. So we talked about hunting the pre-rut next year when my brother asked if we could go this year just to see what it's like. My dad was able to get off work and I just quit my job to i could go back to college in a few weeksso all of us were free so we decided to go. I am thinking of going to gmu 11 or 211, on the map it looked like there was alot of public land but at this point i could use any suggestions. Can non-residents under 17 get tags for resident price? I though i saw that somewhere but cant find it again. Thanks for your desperatly needed help.

It'd be best to find out what unit you're wanting to go to, IIRChalf of the NW Colo units are on a draw.

I'm going to be a 1st timer next year, all I know is, everyone I've talked to has stressed it's nothing like whitetail hunting in the midwest.

Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Humm, first out of state hunt, planned only 2 wks in advance, no real idea where to go. Sounds like a disaster in the makings to me! I did my first out of state hunt last Sept. in Colorado, archery Elk. This was with a outfitter. I planned it for 3yrs. No way I could imagine doing it in 2wks. You have no idea what your up against. If you've never mountain hunted before you have a big awakening coming. My best advice, wait & go when you can better plan it out. Go with others that have done Do It Yourself hunts before, or setup a hunt with a Outfitter. Going in blind is a mistake!!

Ah heck, I say go for it! But, plan on it being more of a backpacking/camping trip than an actual hunt. Take your rifles in case you get lucky, but at this point, that's really what you're counting on - pure, blind luck. However, you'll get to familiarize yourself with the area, with elk country, and know what to expect later when you return better prepared.

Take your rifles in case you get lucky?? You get lucky playing the lottery! You get lucky, in a bar!!! You don't get lucky in bow season with a rifle!!!

Hey dribowhuntingfool, Good luck!! I hope everything works out for you and your family!! The very worst you should do is have a blast!!!
