Large portions of the Elk Zones are on Public land including a large portion in the Allegheny national forest. There are also so few tags that I cannot see crowding being a problem. You should not consider these as part of your draw strategy. They are lottery long shots that or more aligned...

Both PA and KY are an Extremely cheap donations for a lottery type odds at a great tag. No reason not to apply, especially if you are already applying in long shots like NV and UT, which are extremely expensive.

No luck for me, broke my streak at 2 years in a row. Hopefully I hit in another state.

Does anyone else think there might be an uptick in odds this year from people not applying with all the craziness going on in the world. I know 2 people that didn't apply because they were worried. Anyone else?

I agree with this advise. I'd also add that a ton of people end up really disappointed if you have an inches of antler goal on a first Elk hunt. Go with an open mind and enjoy an experience that will be like no other hunting experience you've had before.

By my count that is 16 Units that will become limited archery. I wonder what effect it will have on crowding in the remaining OTC archery units that are already quite crowded?

Is there any info or public release on this that anyone has seen?

Something to consider, its very difficult to get bull tags in better units. But many of those better units you can draw a cow tag with little or no points. Elk hunting also has a very steep learning curve compared to some other types. Consider for a first hunt getting some cow tags in a...

I saw a few bears in there is summer while foraging for mushrooms in the burn. One of which was an absolute beast. You are likely correct that pressure will be high. Also be advised that many of the forest roads that are on your map are closed because they washed out due to the burn. This...

I am sure most of you have seen the infuriating news about the ballot initiative moving forward for the 2020 ballot that will force the release of Wolves into Colorado. I'm pretty sure they still have to get 200k signatures, a simple task on the streets of Boulder. I also believe there is a...

I got extremely lucky in the application season this year and struck gold on a CO G12 1st rifle goat hunt. This is my 1st ever goat hunt and I am now just starting my research. Has anyone hunted this unit that may be willing to talk to me? Or anyone who hasn't, have any good resources for...

I have installed and am using this APP. Its easy to setup and input the codes you're looking for. I however have not had my codes come up yet. Is anyone else using this? Has anyone had success with it?

I was lucky enough to draw the Valle Vidal 1st season archery Tag this year. This past weekend I had a wonderful 1st scouting trip. Considering how dry it has been I was very surprised how much green feed was available. Lots of wild strawberries on the ground as well. I hiked in some of the...

Today was a good day and a lifelong hunting buddy and I drew and will be hunting unit 76 muzzleloader this year. We are hoping to get down for a few scouting trips this summer and give this one a full pull effort. Has anyone hunted this before and do you have any thoughts or tips you can share...

The forecast for next weeks first rifle season is calling for daily highs in the mid to upper 60s. That seems extremely warm for this time of year. Just wondering how some of you seasoned vets out there see this weather impacting the hunt?
