Your chance of drawing here
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has not offered an elk license in GMU 136 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it — the Colorado elk hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

Boundaries are drawn for orientation only — the written boundary description in the regulations governs.
How the hunting has gone
What Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. Colorado's figures come from CPW's post-season hunter survey. CPW's 2025 report dropped the per-GMU table in favour of hunt-code rows, so the newest year shown here is 2024.
