DocMort Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Anyone know if Grand Mesa NF is OTC for elk tags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Which unit? Looking at my game management unit map, there are several in the GM National Forest. Unit 421 & 521 , maybe 52 also. Also is it archery or rifle? I know that 1st rifle & muzzleloader are both draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I believe it all is for archery and rifle OTC tags. Which unit are you going to hunt? It gets pretty crowded. Lots of elk. Lots of young bulls. Lots of access and hunters too. Most of it is 8500 to 10,000 feet high. I lived there until I moved here 3 years ago. Better deer hunting than anything else. Had some monsters wintering in town. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMort Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 We are looking at 421 I guess. We hunted 71 last year and have some new guys going this year that might not be up to the steeper climbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Unit 421 is not too rugged in most places but it's high. If they aren't in shape they'll be roadhunting mostly. If you want a tamer hunt you may want to look at the northwest part of the state. Units 3,4,5,11,211 aren't too high or rugged. Units 4 and5 hold the most elk in the earlier seasons and they slowly move west as the snows fall. Check them out too. Archery is draw only in 4 and 5 though.

Phredator Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 421 is otc for elk in the 2nd and 3rd seasons and for archery. Statewide Colorado is draw for 1st season and 4th season now in all units. The Wife and I drove over Sunnyside in unit 421 today. A beautiful sunny day, game was scarce though, lots of tracks. I guess if we hadn't slept in then we might have seen more. Phred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC ELK Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 If you are going Black Powder the draw will be Unit specific for 2010. A change in the regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
