I always hear that Colorado has the largest elk herd in the world but no bulls over 300 in OTC areas. And everyone is trying to draw unit 61 or unit 76!
But in the last five years I personally know of many bulls killed that were 300+ and I have seen many bulls that are 300+ bulls.
In 2002 I shot a bull that green scored 301 and my friend shot a bull five years ago that netted 327 (its hanging in our local walmart).
A hunter from Arizona shot a bull that green scored 343 during muzzy season last year.
When we were scouting for bow season last year we saw 3 bulls that would go 300+. My friend missed a nice 6x6 that would of gone 300+ but it was his first time elk hunting so he was still happy as he could be!
Also my friend that passed away shot a bull about 6 years ago that green scored 307 and netted 297 1/8
So "YES" 300+ bulls do live in Colorado you just have to be willing to go deep in the woods away from people and find them and be willing not to shot the first legal bull that you see. Also if you stay close to the roads or camp you will continue to believe that bigger bulls dont live in Colorado.
oh yeah one more thing, I live and do all my hunting in a OTC unit(s) for elk so I know that you can kill a 300+ bull in Colorado without having to worry about preference points and for "DAMN" sure I know that you can kill a 300+ bull in Colorado without needing an outfitter.
