The Colorado Division of Wildlife and a private landowner from Meeker have teamed up to offer a selection of six hunters a special late season cow elk hunt from 2,900 acres of the private property in late November and December.

Eligible hunters must have a valid late season private land only cow elk license for unit 23 or an unfilled youth elk license from an earlier rifle season.

Hunters interested in applying for the hunt must submit a letter of interest including their name, date of birth, contact information, CID number and submit a short note about why they should be selected for the private land hunt opportunity. If the applicant is a youth hunter, the letter also needs to include the name and contact information for a parent or guardian who will attend the hunt with the youth.

Applications must be received at the Meeker DOW office by 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9. Applications should be mailed to Bailey Franklin/Special Late Season Hunt, PO Box 1181, Meeker CO 81641.

Successful applicants will be notified by Nov. 16.
