    Default "Private Land Only" Question

    Excuse my ignorance here...

    For "private land only" tags, you need to get permission from a land owner to hunt on that private land and get the private land only tag. If I understand this right, there are units that are mostly, if not all, private land. So here is where these tags would be needed.

    But, say I draw a regular elk tag for the unit that I live in. Can I hunt on my neighbors land (with his permission) with a regular tag or would I need a "private land only" tag? I will also be hunting in the National Forest, so how does that work?

    My neighbor has offered to let me hunt on his land and it seems like I should be able to with a regular tag, but I don't want to get screwed for doing it without being sure.

    Private land only is just as it implies.... You may not hunt public land with a private land only tag.
    You may hunt private land with a general license with land owner approval as long as it is in the unit your license is valid in and during your season hunting dates on your license.

    Hope this makes sense.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    While I am not certain, I believe that one of the rationals for the private land (PLOs) licenses is for herd management, they are made available to reduce the population. The big advantage is that many PLO licenses are list "b" licenses, so check the Reg book. List B licenses are the licenses you are allowed to have a second one for certain species. Generally, cow elk tags are B's, with Bulls/Either Sex A's. You can only have 1 A license, but you can then obtain a B license, or 2 Bs.

    Also it is usually easier to obtain a PLO license, than the regular license in the same unit.

    If your neighbor will let you hunt, check out for turkeys, spring turkey season is in full swing.

    Good idea! I never went for turkey. I have seen them in the area too. Time to start doing some research.

    If you sat through a Colorado Hunter's Education course and this wasn't clearly covered, you should let the Division of Wildlife know about it.
    No true Scotsman.

    I took my Hunters Ed Class in NY about 25 years ago. I've just never had a chance to hunt on private land before.

    i took my first class in AZ 35 years ago, i just sent three of my little ones thought the colorado class and took it again with them.

    the classes are nearly as good as they were in AZ when i first took it. they did though cover this area pretty well

    they spent way more time on the legal portion than the safety portion of the class and survival was barely touched on
