OTC with caps went on sale a couple days ago on a first come, first serve but have never gone that route so can't help much with those.

Yes check the regulations book. OTC is not by game unit, pretty much state wide with exception of about 10 trophy units. Bulls only. Deer are generally not OTC, limited only. Cow Elk tags also limited. Which check the website for over the counter with caps, or leftover.

Pretty sure Boulder and Weld Counties are excluded from the OTC licenses.

A portion of Boulder county is in unit 38 and OTC antlered is available for 2nd and 3rd season.

thanks for all answers bought 2 OTC licenses for second rifle season

Will be hunting with a group of experienced hunter at GMU 18(second rifle season).
I also, bought leftover mule deer muzzle loader tag GMU38. No friends who muzzle loader or hunting that gmu(gmu 38), so I will be going in blind... Will try to scout that area(if anybody could make some area suggestions or general muzzle loader season tips would be appreciated).

Check out the Colorado Hunting Atlas online. Great tool to help narrow down scouting in a new area. There is a map overlay that shows seasonal concentration areas and movement patterns. Good luck!
