You can shoot a bull that meets the 5” brow tines or 4 points on one side, or an elk (male or female) that has no antlers or spikes smaller than 5”.Can you further explain the screenshots I’ve attached?
So if it’s a male, I better make damn sure I can see a 5” brow tine or 4 points? Are there “button elk” like “button bucks” where its hard to tell a doe apart from a button buck from a distance?
So I can shoot an “antlerless” cow because it falls under “either sex”, but not an “antlerless” male, because that would be a “bull under the minimum requirements”? And all the attached screenshot is saying is that there is no option to buy the cheaper “antlerless tag” and shoot a “cow”, but I can buy the more expensive tag and shoot a “cow” (or a bull over the minimum requirements)?
Thanks for the help, by the way.
CPW has a good guide on elk antler legality here: https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Hunting/BigGame/Elk-Antler-Point-Restrictions.pdfCan you further explain the screenshots I’ve attached?
