Title: Colorado elk draw
Post by: TomT on May 24, 2016, 10:44:15 AM: Took 20 years, but if I read the back door right, I drew Colorado this year.

Good luck to everyone who put in!

How does the backdoor work? I log in to buy a tag and it still shows unit applied info.....

Post by: dscubame on May 25, 2016, 02:40:17 PM: Thanks TomT.

Any info on 53 would be much appreciated.

Dang this is going to be a busy year, need to work on my out of office work skills.

Post by: TomT on May 25, 2016, 02:42:24 PM: I'm afraid I don't know anything about unit 53. Good luck!
Title: Re: Colorado elk draw
Post by: Taco280AI on May 31, 2016, 11:27:21 PM: I drew my cow tag and my deer tag (about a 25% chance of drawing that with one point).

Going to get an OTC bull tag and will be able to hunt for a cow, 4+ bull, and buck in the same unit, at the same time :IBCOOL:

Be the first time I'll finally be able to use the AI hunting :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Title: Re: Colorado elk draw
Post by: TomT on June 01, 2016, 11:04:47 PM: Thanks! Should be a good. A little nervous after waiting 20 years to draw.

Post by: Jim/WA on June 10, 2016, 05:21:48 PM: Unit 76 archery here. Only took 15 years. I'm still sitting on 15pp for deer and have no idea where I'm going to use them.
Title: Re: Colorado elk draw
Post by: TomT on June 11, 2016, 07:13:16 AM: Congrats! Should be a good hunt. We had considered 76 for several years and were going to go on a drop hunt if we drew it.

You should have a really great deer hunt coming up!
