so how do i go about getting a license for say, deer in those areas?

[mx'r]

The draw is over. Contact DOW and they will let you know the date that the leftover tags will be released.

Those areas are over the counter for elk, no draw. Deer are draw only in CO.
But for elk, just figure out which season you can go and buy your tag at any place that sells licenses's.

[spencerhenry]

elk are not over the counter for every season. only 2nd and 3rd, but there are often times leftovers licenses for many units for both deer and elk.

If you are active Military stationed in CO, you get to buy resident tags even though you are a Texan. Go see the folks at your local DOW office, they'll get you all lined out.

Are you looking for antlers or meat? Deer, elk or pronghorn? Archery, blackpowder or rifle?

BTW, I am unaware of any big game hunts (rifle) on Ft Carson that don't require preference points to draw the tag. And if you do eventually draw a tag, sometimes you are severely limited to the areas on post where you can hunt. As you know, training is the priority - hunting is somewhere far below that on the list.

If you want to see some nice animals on post, talk to the range control officers - they know where they hang out.

Shoot me an email/IM if you want any specfic recommendations.

Rifle and archery. Any game that tastes good. Won't be doing any taxidermy.
