re: What are some good locations to go elk hunting?

it may be. It depends on the unit/state. I know in MT you can hunt from 9/1-11/5 with a bow.

But I think in CO you have like 3 week window for bow, but once the rifle weeks open archery is closed.

Go to gohunt
Pick CO OTC units, then dive into the regulations to see.

mylsuhat may have better info than me since hes hunting CO this year. I have more info on MT since that's where I'm going.
