[QUOTE="woods, post: 935050, member: 6042"] A good place to start is to put in for preference points for Colorado. Colorado has a lot of Elk and several seasons Bowhunting/Muzzleloader - draw only and preference points will get you drawn for out-of-state license eventually 1st Season - Draw only, public land needs more preference points than private land 2nd Season - Over the counter, meaning you can just go and buy the day before season, sell licenses at Wal-Mart or many sporting goods stores 3rd Season - Same as 2nd season 4th Season - Same as 1st season, draw only In addition you can apply for preference points in Mule Deer and Antelope which are both draw only licenses To get preference points you pay online or by mail, usually before April 1st, so February is a good time to do it. You can apply for a preference point only and not a license. Your money will be refunded by Colorado (all except minor app fees) a early summer. Costs you a little but will greatly expand your choices. Then start asking on forums and searching online for area to hunt. Private land is always better. Bummer to plan for a year, caravan out with buddies to some remote camping area and wake up opening day to find another camp of 10 guys from Chicago 200yds away (public land). Also a bummer to hike back into an overlook on public land, sit down to glass and spot orange vests on other overlooks of the same area (don't ask me how I know). Generally you will have to pay a "trespass fee" to hunt on private land but most of time well worth it. When I first started hunting Colorado I belonged to a "hunting club" with a membership fee but that placed you onto private land with a reservation. Sometimes good sometimes bad Good luck [/QUOTE]
