    Yes you are correct Roger17. I tend to not chase those hunts that require the higher point levels as things stand now. Not the ultra coveted season dates/units according to historic draw odds. I save for hunts in the 1-5 point level for residents at most other than MSG. I would be more likely...

    I could always be mistaken, but I don't think they do.

    Colorado could also look to allocate some tags to a random draw like Wyoming does. That wouldn't satisfy high PP holders, but for the sake of offering some more opportunity with the ammount of pressure there is, and also may help get points out of the system. If you draw in the random you lose...

    Sorry I'm not familiar with the acronym for MSG. I think Colorado does it for hunts that require a certain point minimum to draw if that is what you are referring to. Other states do it as well, I got called last year for next in line AZ elk that would have burned my points that I turned...

    I think the best solution is find a way to try to get more tags to the next hunter (or group) in line with the option to burn their points while restoring the original succeful applicant their pre draw points. That would satisfy both of our points of contention, though overall the leftover game...

    I didn't burn a pile last year but burned 3 on a 3rd season deer tag in a unit that is a producer and I have friends who have shot 200" deer. Was a tough year after winter kill but I managed a respectable buck and my personal best. 3rd season was also awful weather last year. I had 180"...

    LOL I should probably rephrase my sentence to say I hunt the same small group of units as everyone else.

    Yeah that would not hurt my feelings at all. Like most folks I hunt a pretty small group of units and some of the hunts I can still somewhat reliably pick up a point and still draw second choice. Every couple years there might be one that sticks out type of thing, and honestly drawing those...

    LOL Eisenhauer tunnel to Denver is less like a slope more like a soap box derby car race to hell

    Just watching some of the working group meeting MallardSX2 posted. There are some good things discussed in there, the ice breaker is just the first couple of minutes and give you some of the decision makers perspective and it is as diverse as ours. One solution I heard to some of the valid...

    I concur. Not unpopular at all. Why should non residents hiring bots to snipe tags have the same opportunity as us.

    License Fraud help!

    Deleting this thread won't do anything as everything is archived and accessible. If you had not posted to this forum the intricacies underlying the fraud, had just been polite to the game warden while giving him no information, and immediately contacted a decent lawyer; I believe you would have...

    I see what you mean, but if you start going down that road then you have to start pooling residents and non residents in the 2nd draw which currently there are no quotas for that or reissue tags. My 5 points is worth a hell of a lot more than a non residents 5 points for quality of hunt whether...

    I drew a archery pronghorn tag I burned 5 points on as a resident, it was my biggest hunt planned for the year other than picking up elk and deer left over and of course the obligatory bear (tag already secured). Then I drew NM archery elk. I know my capabilities and to give the attention...

    Mushy venison problem?

    I would recommend a reverse sear to anyone having these challenges. I put my steaks or whatever I am making in my convection oven at 275 for anywhere from 20-35 minutes depending on thickness, then hit it in the pan for a sear. It is perfect nearly every time. I don't even mess with my grill...
