Wherever I could draw a tag.My wife wants to see the country and I thought hmm... maybe an elk hunt opportunity. If you were looking for good elk hunting territory near a national park, where would you start? Arizona/New Mexico or Colorado/Wyoming?
Idaho.where would you start? Arizona/New Mexico or Colorado/Wyoming?
And if you get anything it will be pure luck. Public land hunting in Colorado is becoming a waste of time. Over the counter tags are usually for units no one wants. There are far too many people putting way too much pressure on what few animals are in the area. Not saying it's not possible, but it's getting harder and harder to find places that are not over run with people.Lots of public land with over the counter elk tags available in Colorado if you hunt 2nd, 3rd, or 4th season.
