So, since picking a bow and doing some stick throwing, I have begun to really enjoy myself.
I was hoping to pick up a left over tag for archery season this year in Colorado.... but alas...
The leftover license list came out yesterday....no bow tags available.

I think with the economy, those that might skip a year of hunting has forced many more to hunt for meat to
help feed their familiaes. I've noticed that there were a lot less tags available this year after the draw than I
have ever seen before.

So... in doing some light reading on the Colorado DOW site... I came across this.
Since I was never a bow hunter previosuly, and would like the opportunity this year, I figured reading up
on bow reqs was a good idea....

Does this read like I think it does. It's saying I can buy a normal OTC tag for rifle season for bull elk, AND still buy a cow elk tag?

You will need to scroll down to the ELK info for the licensing info.

Thx for the input

Which page of the Colorado Big Game 2009 are you specifically referring to in your second post?
 
Take care and Good Hunting!

I believe that's right, except for the trophy drawing zones only.

Page 5 specifically... but I have since talked with DOW and I can have a cow tag as well for Archery season.
Been practicing and practicing.... buying broad heads tomorrow.
