2014 Colorado Deer Draw is over - Backdoor open

I was bummed thinking I didn't draw for deer... turns out I just checked and I did. A little baffled that I didn't get an antelope tag but oh well.
 
Ok...so if I check the back door (at least what I think is the back door after reading this thread)...this is what I see. Do the 591 for deer and 588 for antlerless elk mean that I drew those tags? Unless of course it changes by the official May 30th date. Thanks for putting up with a FNG's questions.

Below is a list of products you already have on file.

2014 - 488 NON RES ANTLERLESS ELK APP
2014 - 591 NON RES DEER
2014 - 059 HABITAT STAMP WITH A LICENSE
2014 - 491 NON RES DEER APP
2014 - 588 NON RES ANTLERLESS ELK"
 
Well, I didn't get my 1st choice buck tag, but did get a private land doe tag. I really don't like hunting for does, but what the hell. It's meat in the freezer. I've got a point for next years buck tag.

So, I have the whole month of Sept for bear. Muzzy cow elk, and 2nd rifle for a doe. All with my muzzleloader. That's ok for not have any points for anything. I could hunt for a bull in OTC, but I hate OTC units. I'd rather hunt for a cow in solitude. I can always use the cow gut pile for the bear.

You can hunt that OTC Bull tag in Solitude in many parts of the state. The OTC units have big bulls in them.
 
I've been scouting, and hunting my unit for 60 years. I've killed enough bulls in my life. The youngsters can have them now. A nice tasty cow is perfect for me, and much easier to get the meat out for this old fart hunting alone.
 
As screwed up as they were for the deer. They sure got the bear done fast. I just got the tag in the mail.
 
How are you guys viewing this? When I check my preference points it still says pending. And when I go to "purchase" a habitat stamp it just say the 491 application number...
 
You didn't draw at all. Even a 2nd choice will show a 500 number.

However, since the results won't be final until the 30th. I wouldn't give up completely yet.
