Left-over tags go on sale today at 9am.
It was on the news as people were waiting in line.

I was going to til I saw that clip on the news, f that
I already got my buck tag, and they have several hundred left overs for doe that I will probably pick up.
Since they have so many in a really small GMU, and they are private land only, and I already have a tag, I'm just going to wait until tomorrow and take my chances.
I am waiting to pick up a cow tag but there should be plenty left overs.
Yup and I got screwed out of every one. I waited in line for three hours this morning since 6 am, was 10th in line, and somehow the 70+ licenses that I was looking at were all sold out by the time that I got there.
Going to go get an OTC elk license later today when the hell subsides. Man I am mad that everything I wanted was gone.
Keep in mind, those 70 licenses were on sale at every location that sells leftover tags in the entire state. Hot section leftovers don't last 10 minutes, and a very low tag count year like this year was probably worse.Quote:

Tag sales will be out of control today. I even got called in to work this afternoon, on my day off, to help with them.
Ill buy mine later there are always a ton of tags leftover for my unit. I got a muzzleloader bull tag so im good to go!
Spent 1 1/2 hr. in line. Picked up a extra cow tag. Its worth it.

You can buy an OTC Elk online and avoid the lines/madness.Quote:

Believe me I understand. I was up since yesterday at about 2pm and got to Wally world at 6am this morning. I work nights so normally this would not be a big deal. I have no problem with the way that the DOW runs the system, but today I underestimated walmart stupid. I was the 10th person in line and I was not helped until 9:44. Then I was going for archery, muzzle loading, or rifle for deer all in the same unit that added up to 70+ tags, 30 of them were archery. Normally getting one of those would not be a big deal with archery being a sure thing. But not today.Quote:

That plugged up one of two registers, and the other side was not moving much better. The group of guys that were standing around me all started talking about what they wanted and it turns out that all of us walked out empty handed. I cant imagine that the other 60+ people inline behind us were much luckier. We were all trying to hunt locally, but had a collection of 6 GMU's including PLO's that we wanted and they all sold out of all species (except bear, I don't think anyone was hunting bear) by the time the 7th person in line that had been there since 5:30 got to the counter at about 9:30.
What the hell is that?
Big line, got the bull tag I wanted...
The trick is to find a small gun shop where they sell licenses then you can walk right up. I go to the Shooting Shop South in Littleton, near Arapahoe Community College.Quote:

Just got my second antelope tag!
