Elk license change in NW Colorado

Postby saddlesore » 11 12, 2023 •  [Post 1]

The CPW commission meeting Nov 17 will consider changing Elk tags in the 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons from OTC to limited draw for the next two years in the units hit by the 2023 severe winter kill in NW Colorado.

Great idea! But don't forget about the money hungry greed of the CPW and the political appointed wildlife commission. I won't believe it until I see it! :shock:

For sure Bill and those Polis appointed commissioners know nothing about hunting.

Sound management,,, certainly don't want your incoming wolves to go hungry.


Last winter really hurt my hunts this year. Never saw a deer in 4.5 days, pre3vious year I saw 13 from the blind on the 1st day and passed on 2 spikes, 2, 3x
Hunted about 15 hours for my antelope, in the past maybe 4 hours
And saw a fraction of the elk numbers I typically see. I was looking for the unicorn 6x6.
