RE: CO elk tag questions?

If you call CO DOW as soon as the left-over tags are available, you will be able to get a cow tag. Of course you will not get one in 10 or 61 but you can get one in a decent GMU for 2nd season.

It was my understanding that if youhad an unfulfilled elk tag, still in season, that you could shoot grouse without a small game license.
