I was never old enough for that. But when I used to put in with paper all I did was either wait for a tag in the mail or that refund check

I put my buddy and little brother in for it too. But for early archery cow

What's wrong with unit 4B?

The only thing I saw at first was "DRAW RESULTS NOW AVAILABLE" but yeah I agree!

Over 150,000 applicants? That's still less than there is for the draw in the summer. They should still have it done pretty quickly. I am assuming nobody got a card hit today?

I dont think it even shows the results today. Just a card charge. But usually it takes a week to find out what hunt number and tag number you have right?

During the deer draw last year I was hit at 1 PM then my dad and brother were hit at 5 PM. So maybe we will be lucky to get it earlier

Hey guys! If you all remember I was running an arrow setup that weighed 369 grains! I was told it was bare minimum for elk before my hunt in november. So I dont wanna keep using that setup in the years to come. I am drawing 65 pounds with ease now too (Max Poundage). I know I clearly need to get a heavier head to I will be switching to a 125 grain broadhead now. I also only have a 24 inch draw which takes away a lot of weight and speed. So what should I look into for a new arrow set up? I usually end up getting the cheaper arrows at Spotsmens with a 340 spine for 40$. Would a wrap help a lot? Do they come off to easily? Is there a specific type of arrow for shorter draw lengths out there? Thank you!

That dude is just on another planet lol

Sounds great! I'll have to go pick some inserts up then! I'll definitely get those broadhead too! People were telling me to get them before my elk hunt and they were outta stock everytime I checked for the last few weeks before hunting!

There is a shop called bear moutain nearby my place! I will head there and check them out!

That makes a ton of sense. I am not sure what exactly shoots best for my bow yet. I will go out this next week and buy some more sets of arrows heads and inserts. What should I look for when I want "better results" I know grouping is an obvious one. But should I be looking for how deep they enter the target? Speed? What would be a good thing to really focus on when narrowing down what works for me

That is what I was worried about most. What I may do this year is try a couple days of camping without hunting near where I wanna go or I might try hiking up near the katchina peaks because they get pretty high as well! ASU has a vacume chamber over near William's field and they had me go in there once and it was not fun. If was for flight school. Crazy stuff

Yes that too!

Yeah there is a huge difference and I bet OTC only got worse with all the pressure since. The only elk expirience I had was when I went in Nov. But I mean even seeing an elk or hearing I would honestly be happy with if I were to even go!

Wow 750 is a lot! I wanna try and get up there if possible. Would be tough with such a short length. But still gonna aim to get it high as possible. Imma visit a shop within the next week! Like bear archery. Also yeah I'm worried about the elevation a ton. I would wanna hunt around 10000 ft and never been up that before and I have asthma. So that may be even worse. Would that canned oxygen help with anything? Or even worth it? I have been in pretty good shape lately when it comes to hiking but that elevation makes it just 3 times harder too. I will also be looking into some people who pack the animals put for us too. I heard of a few groups who do that for some hunters for a fair price. They do it by horse

I also have another question that is kinda related. Have you guys done any OTC CO elk? I wont ask for any units or spots. I've narrowed it down to about 15 choices. But what I wanted to ask was what kinda hunts do you prefer? Super high pressure with more elk around? Or mid to low with small amounts of elk?

Hey guys I wanted to go on my first shed adventure this year and I figured I would try and go up north of the big ditch and find some antlers! What is usually a good time period to go up there? Is march too early? Maybe april?

If you want a nice 4 wheeler look for a used honda rancher. Tons of fun! Big but still fun and great for hunting or just rec riding/trail riding. Artic cat was pretty cool too. I had a 2007 DVX 250. It was nice. Or if you're on a tighter budget find a polaris trail boss. They are very similar to Honda rancher but cheaper. But you get what you pay for remeber that! (Bad Carb issues for me) always had to play with the choke even after I rebuilt it myself then had a shop just get a new one.

Yeah. I figure due to mainly my draw length I was very limited on speed and one day someone told me if you cant shoot fast shoot heavy. But that was 1 week before my hunt so I didnt wanna change everything I worked on last minute. But now I have till september till CO OTC elk

Geez that just sounds like a roller coaster of emotions! That's crazy!

Sounds great! Thank you!

That's sick man! Really cool!

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense

I imagine then yes. Like if they implement a season itd probably be that you can only run them from Feb 1st through July 31st or something like that! If there is a camera out for anything then I guess itd be their legal right to seize that camera? I imagine we will see a clear cut law coming out soon!
