I’ve gone on two self-guided Bivy style Bow hunts OTC in CO. Both times were unsuccessful but I was in Elk both times. This hunt was in rough country in SW CO.
My hunting partners and I are discussing a muzzleloader hunt out west self guided that we do with good Elk numbers and a decent shot on Elk.
Is there anywhere OTC with good Elk numbers?
Thanks

ML elk in CO is draw only and typically requires preference points.

Good Luck,

They ask you on the application when you apply for a ML tag what you would like instead if you are unsuccessful. You can always have them send you the normal archery tag or a rifle tag for the second, third, or fourth rifle season. But, like EKM said it is 100% daw for ML.

Yes, Colorado is by drawing only for MZ, but I would highly recommend it. I will send you a private email with additional info.
