FAQ

Where can I get solid advice and information on elk and deer hunting in Colorado?

Usually sending someone to a government website is not helpful, but this is the exception. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has an amazing wealth of information. One very worthwhile program is called “Elk Hunting University”. The  “Colorado Big Game Home Page” is full of helpful information and links. One of the secret weapons of Colorado elk hunters is the “Big Game Hunting Harvest Reports and Hunting Recap Summaries”. If you use these to plan your hunt, your chances of success will be much higher. Expect it to take a bit to find your way around the reports, but they are worth the investment in time.

We also have a very helpful article “Best Elk Hunting Season in Colorado” that you will want to check out. And, never forget, if your elk hunting, elk are where ever they want to be. So go find them. They are not like whitetail deer. They may leave an area for two or three weeks. So don’t sit around and wait for them. Go out and Make it Happen!
