RE: CO ARCHERY ELK

The herd data is available from CDOW. If you want to call the local Division office for the area around Del Norte, it is the Monte Vista office (719) 587-6900. The units around there are pretty good, but they can be crowded outside of the Quality Management Units. If you don' t expect really big bulls or to be in the elk every minute, you can have an enjoyable hunt in that area. Just do your homework. CDOW' s website has a lot of useful information on harvest statistics and drawing probability.

Good luck,
