Need some help - Over the counter in the southwest

[AzDak42]

So this year I ended up skunked on elk tags in multiple states, and all the hunting talk has me wanting to get in the field anyway.

Anyone have some suggestions for states/areas where I can grab an over the counter deer tag and have reasonable access to land to hunt?

I'm not waiting another year.. . it's killing me...

TEXAS PIGGIES.

Always a great back up! Cheap and year round!

And no limit, I hear...
You can hunt them from the air now.

Just wished I knew someone that would grant me permission to hunt them!

Colorado has a OTC license that is coming up Saturday but i would call the CDOW for information but i have a couple friends that are leaving Today to go to Gunnison on OTC hunts for Bull Elk! Drove back from Denver yesterday and saw numerous racks hanging from the back of pick ups plus numerous Game Wardens dragging horses up and down I25 :grin: http://wildlife.state.co.us/shopdow/app ... nsing.aspx

Hunting Texas piggies is or can be a hassle. Landowners are starting to understand just how much money can be made putting on hunts.

And there is very little public land in Texas to hunt on...and it's all down south. And their laws concerning private property are getting tougher.

Thanks for the feedback.. I have a few friends out in Texas, might be worth seeing if I can find a lease.

Not in the southwest, but Washington has a LOT of public land to hunt, and over-the-counter elk & deer tags.

Non-resident fees are high though.
