no, applications have not opened yet for CO. Just got the regs today in the mail and they showed up online yesterday.
There is a lot of public land in 51, just an off-hand guess I would say around 60% is public. Large percentage of the unit burned in 2002. There are elk in there, I wouldn't get any visions of seeing a whole bunch though. Its not a physical unit but you will work for them as in hours spent trying to find them.
