CO deer tag in the draw this year. I agree with some of the others, I think its very unit specific as this was a second choice tag. Now patiently waiting on the elk draw...
Looking for some clarification on turning a tag back in. Decided to burn my points in CO this year for a limited archery draw and according to past draw stats, should be 100% chance to draw. Well, I got lucky and drew a Gila archery tag in NM and I don't have the time to do both hunts so I am...

A buddy and I have hunted with llamas twice to get in 8-10 miles and it was well worth the money. They help keep your legs fresh since you don't have to haul everything in on your back. You can also bring a couple of "extra" comfort items for camp that you normally wouldn't be able to haul in...
