Colorado Outfitters Limited Draw Licenses for Deer & Elk Your link to some of the best deer & elk Hunting Colorado has to offer, with Pierce Brothers Outfitters We do our best to make sure your Colorado deer & elk hunt, is a once in a lifetime hunt. The 1st & 4th rifle seasons are elk only, the 2nd & 3rd are combination deer & elk. If you choose you can hunt only deer or only elk, the price is the same. Deer & elk hunting in a limited draw area is the way hunting should be. If you have ever hunted in one of Colorado’s unlimited areas, you were surely plagued with too many hunters. Unit 66 is a specified unit with the numbers of hunters reduced by 50 % from the number of hunters we had in 1996. In most limited draw areas it takes many years to draw a Elk license. This has not been the case in our unit, but it is getting harder each year. In the 2005 applicants with 2 preference points had, Archery - 12.5% chance, 1st rifle - 87.5% chance. Applicants with 1 preference points had, 2nd rifle - 59% chance, 3rd rifle - 56.1%, 4th rifle - 70%. The Muzzleloader hunters are a different story. It took 8 preference points for 100% draw for a muzzleloading license in our unit for Elk. Deer hunting in the Gunnision Basin is different than in the rest of the state. In January 1999, the Colorado Wildlife Commision reduced the number of deer licenses by 90%. This makes it very hard to draw a deer license in unit 66. We have a very good buck to doe ratio in our area that we hunt and have always had a few trophy bucks. Now with the 90% reduction in hunters, we are starting to see lots of trophy bucks and the herd numbers are coming back very quick. Although it is hard to draw a license, if you do, it will be well worth it. With this limited number of hunters, your chances of success for deer & elk are much more than in a unlimited area with the over crowding and over harvest of the deer & elk. We have a (click here) list of our rifle elk hunting references & archery elk hunting references with some recent pictures from our hunts. We can also send a brochure or reference list by e-mail request. Please leave your name & your complete address.
