Over the counter archery tags?

[Mountain Boomer]

Can you get over the counter archery tags for elk in CO or WY?

I didn't know if I was going to be able to go, so I didn't send in for any of the draws. If I can get a tag look out, here comes a Hillbilly...

Yep, you can get over the counter archery licenses in CO, but they aren't good in all units. I think there's about 50 units that are limited to drawn licenses.

Scroll down and click on the Elk Seasons link.

MB,
It's not to late to apply for a limited archery tag for Colorado. I believe all apps have to be in by April 1st. And I'm not 100% ceratin but, you may even be able to get a leftover Archery Tag in Wy. Check the Wy website.

You may have a chance at the leftover tags whic are not available right now. Keep checking the page linked below for when and where. Once you get a tag, then you would need to buy an archery stamp for $20. Then the tag would be good for archery or gun. Hope this is of help for you.

Thanks Guys! I sure appreciate the information. I ordered the CO brochures and applications. It looks like the WY tags are gone. The link had been deactivated.

I've never been out west and plan on going this fall. Do you have any suggestions where a decent public land spot would be?

I plan on bringing my mule and horses and packing in. If I remember right, somebody made a website dedicated to packing in on horses. Do you have the link anywhere?

I hope you guys don't get tired of my dumb questions but, I am going to need alot of help....

Mountain Boomer, it is good to see you back here again. The Wyoming link has not been deactivated, it has not yet been activated. That is why I said to keep an eye on that page.
The site you are referring to is

The Basics Of Packing With A Horse or Mule.

Hope that helps a little.
