With no points you really have no choice but to go to CO OTC although MT had leftover combo tags last year. From what I know about CO OTC units is you will either have to spike on top or base camp and be subject to several miles of hinking every morning and evening. I'll take the spike camp any day. Spiking is not that bad as long as your system is good. Tylenol or Excedrin PM is great for spike hunting. Sounds like you want the real deal high country Elk hunt and you will get it in CO OTC units.
In today's age learning can be done at home. Check out Elknut's videos and instruction manuals. There is more than enough info to get you started. As far as bagging a cow don't fool yourself into thinking taking a cow is like taking a whitetail doe. Cows are as hard or even harder than young bulls to harvest with a bow on purpose. I have not had a single cow opportunity but you are on the right track. Any legal bull, or animal is the right frame of mind. Save the 330's for UT, NV, AZ and the Gila and harvest anything you can. Any DIY archery Elk with a bow is a trophy!
