[QUOTE="justin_h635, post: 3671113, member: 24704"] Colorado Public Elk hunting has serious issues. The CDofW realizes this and is at a crossroads over the almighty otc dollar or boosting the species. Talk to the locals that are attending the town halls all over elk country and most would agree that public elk hunting is at a modern day low. You can also read some of the CDW reports online that discusses the declining numbers and increasing hunters. As units get moved from otc to draw only this provides even more pressure on the other units that are already starving for elk numbers. In a nutshell, Colorado is an easy and beautiful place to take a bow or gun for a walk. Walk up to the walmart counter, pay your trespassing fee (elk tag) and this land is your land. You will also have the added benefit of running into many hunters along the trail and sharing your tag soup recipes over a cup of jo. I know many a serious hunter that vows to never go back on a public land hunt again but they generally do to an increasing amount of frustration . Elk can be lucked into and it is still a great camping destination but a public Colorado Elk hunt expectation needs to be really tempered. [/QUOTE]
