[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2137326, member: 32525"] Thanks for all of the responses! For me, I am looking at first rifle season for Elk. This is mainly because my understanding is that for 2nd/3rd seasons, OTC tags can be obtained and as a result there is a lot more pressure, and my odds of success are likely to be reduced (which as an out of stater, I'd like to limit as much as possible for obvious reasons). Is that correct? Based on this, there looks to be a gap between that 1st season for elk and the seasons for Deer/Pronghorn/Bear. Is deer harder to draw than elk? If so, I may put in for elk and pronghorn this year and get points only for deer/bear to be used another year. For elk, and likely deer as well, there is a very specific unit I would want to go due to the fact that I believe it's relatively hard to draw and I may have the ability to hire a guide I know in the area that also has horses. Given that I don't live in CO, having those two options to help with getting in/out and locating likely spots to focus on is a big help, especially for a guy like me who is a novice for all of these species and would be learning everything for the first time. Ask me how to hunt whitetail or hogs, and I'm good to go....but the idea of going after elk/mule deer/pronghorn/bear have only ever been something I could dream about for "some day" since we don't have them down here.
