OTC Elk Tag Question

[XJ]

Who said that? It's bullshit, untrue, and unacceptable. Name names.

Just the guy working the counter at the main office in Colo Spgs. I'm paraphrasing of course, but his message was clear.

I did check the online list of units and tags afterwards, and most did say private land only. For both deer and elk.

What is up with that? Colorado has a big problem with opening up private land for hunting, other states do a much better job of that.

First off, there is no OTC tags for deer, besides whitetail in maybe a dozen or so units and mainly private lands. And not sure what list your looking at, maybe leftover, but there's probably about a hundred units for OTC bull tags with plenty of National forest land available for hunting.

It was indeed the "get rid of white-tailed in mule deer units" program. It seemed like a good option because the dates were all of December, units were a reasonable drive from COS, and either-sex & antlerless were available.

Was looking at the leftover elk list, thought that was where I was supposed to look. I'm not someone with years of experience, just getting started. Next year I'll read the booklet like it is a thermodynamics textbook.
