Thing to remember about CO low point units is you will not escape the hunting pressure. Most units will have a general elk season and with it brings 50 states worth of wide eyed dreamers. Think LT Murray general rifle season but more animals  :chuckle:
Ouch! I know what that looks like. Thats why i was hoping a muzzy season would be better.

Best thing you can do is figure out what game unit you'd like the chance to draw for and go from there. Have a GPS with the map software? If not, plan on buying that as well.
I have onx and go hunt...just wanted to see if anyone has spent any time in the northwestern units during muzzy. Would someone be willing to be PM with me so i can bounce ideas off of them? Ill be going down by myself.

just remember that over the counter tags are for rifle season only.

For muzzleloader season, expect a 3 year wait or longer to get enough pref points to draw a lesser quality game unit and 16 years for a trophy unit.
not entirely true. There are also archery otc tags and literally dozens of units you can draw for muzzleloader with 0-1pts.
0-1 pref point? Good luck in those units. Theres a reason why you can get them easy  :tup: Hunted for elk last year on the plains which was easy to get... Talked to  the locals while out there and they lived there their whole lives and never once saw an elk for which i had a tag  :chuckle:
I only hunt 0 point units 😂  plenty of game to be had. No way I'm sitting out a year of CO hunting in my lifetime if I can help it.

Colorado is really overrated when it comes to hunting.  Washington is way better.   Save your gas money and buy a box of ribeye.

That's the pot calling the kettle black.
