Regulations # The CDOW enforces several regulations as a way to track hunters' success and maintain trophy quality. To shoot a legal bull, the antlers must be at least 5 inches long, and a legal cow or antlerless elk must have no antlers or antlers less than 5 inches in length. Legal shooting hours take place one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset. Nonresidents are limited to one elk per year. Any hunter born on or after Jan. 1, 1949 must have an approved hunter or bowhunter education card. Bows must have a minimum draw weight of 35 pounds with a max let-off of 80 percent.

They just dropped it this year or the year before - think it's also in the 'what's new' section.
