Not all elk tags in Colorado are sold over-the-counter. Our Memberships Include The Most Accurate Draw Odds Available, Join Now! Even though we list more quality hunts than any other publication, there are many more hunts out there that can be found with a little research and optimism. Buyer beware on these hunts, though, as even these hunts are not guaranteed trophy hunts and oftentimes do not have any larger bulls than some of the OTC units, just less hunting pressure. There are hunts that are managed for better trophy quality and are often the ones referenced that currently take 25-30 years of applying to draw. In addition, there are also units that have limited draw hunts for every season that have similar trophy size. All of the muzzleloader, first, and fourth rifle hunts are on a draw basis only, so a lot of the easier to draw hunts come in the form of one of these three types of hunts that have over-the-counter archery, second rifle, and/or third rifle seasons on them. Go on More Hunts with Better Information, Join Huntin' Fool Today! Our advice is to take advantage of the system while you can still purchase that tag and get out on the mountain hunting before this opportunity is gone. This will likely continue to be the trend throughout the state the next several years with more and more residents putting pressure on CWP to restrict non-resident hunters from participating in OTC elk hunts. The Grand Mesa is the latest to fall victim to this as the once OTC archery tags are now limited quota draw tags starting this year. It is no secret that Colorado is also known for crowded elk hunting experiences, and with other states restricting this type of hunting for non-residents, it is pushing most of them directly to Colorado to get their elk hunting fix. It is about the last state that has over-the-counter rifle elk tags available to non-residents on an unlimited basis. Regardless of your weapon of choice or how many points you have, Colorado has a hunt for you. With an estimated population of 280,000, Colorado is a must for any and all elk hunters. Colorado is definitely the alpha dog when it comes to elk numbers and hunting opportunities out west.
