Nick Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) Wait, you had to apply for a lisence to even hunt? Cuz I wanted to come hunt and I didnt know i had to apply! Or is there a lisence you can buy over the counter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) Colorado Elk draws are now posted. http://wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/DrawResultsAndPrefPoints/ I drew my third choice "meat in the freezer" tag. Cow elk 4th rifle in unit 41. I had hoped to draw the either sex tag for the same season as a 2nd choice and still get another point since last year there were leftovers. But, hey, I get to hunt straight out of the house and will most likely be eating elk. Nick, for the RT hunt you will be able to buy an over the counter Bull Elk tag, they are not part of the draw. Just make sure you buy your tag before opening morning. After opening morning you can still buy a tag but you would have to go to a regional DOW office instead of any sporting goods store that sells licenses. Good luck, Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) Nick, Most sporting goods would have licenses, I assume you would get there before the season starts. If not or for convenience you can buy them online or by phone using this link. http://wildlife.state.co.us/ShopDOW/AppsAndLicenses/ Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip_co Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) I didnt draw tag one for the fall. So I'll get us some OTC tags for bull elk and have a go at it. I still may draw a RFW tag for antelopes. I plan on scouting unit 55 the weeknd of the 9-10 and again on 30-Jul1. Hope to see y'alls there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip_co Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) Are you guiding? LOL [/ QUOTE ] uhhhh NO. Actually guys here's the way this elk camp has to work or we all go to jail in Gunnison without even goin past GO: We can't act as a guide, and we can't pay a cook to cook for the group. If we do either then it's a guiding operation and we dont have a license for that. Each person coming to camp is on his own, which doesnt mean we cant hunt eat or laff together. We have an attractive friend thats the Game Warden in Chaffee County and I sure dont want her lockin ME up. But heck, it's all still a bunch of fun. Septober approaches...

I would love to hunt but like others the funds are just not there! I would love to tag along with someone and vidio tape if possable,[if legal] biggest thing is meeting lots of you, just met Steve Beilgard last week and if he represents the type of people on this trip i would not miss it for the world!Not sure if I will drive down with Steve or head down on 20, all depends on when I can get off work![bosses harvesting]I would love some fishing time and hopefully lots of relaxing time!! COuple questions, what type of weather are we usually talking about? are we allowed to tag along with one of the guys hunting, or would that be classed as guiding? Also one more thing noone is to laugh at me couse I will be bringing a air matress,my back is just getting to old lol! Liek i told steve I am more that willing in putting ahand in on the cooking, I will bring some saskatoon berries I picked this week[freeze them ] and with someones elk i can make a sort of pemmican like the natives used to make up here,awsoem dried over a slow fire!also I have a charger that hooks to a lighter to charge batteries, Hopefully see you all in a couple months!!!

ruttinbuc Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: HEAD-COUNT (THE GREAT CO. ELK HUNT) I am still trying to figure out a way to get there. I had to use some unexpected vacation time and just don't have the days to take. I already have a trip planned for a week in November. Then there is the expense of driving. I think it may be cheaper to fly, but it still quite the expense. I'll work on it and see what may be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
