Wow. My unit jumped 4 points. Dang.

 

[jwatts]

The unit I drew went from 75% at 8 points to 100% at 11 points (nobody with less than 11 drew).

How do you find the Unit #?

 

[HuntandFly]

Nothing like a little 2-3 point jump on every single 3rd rifle hunt you have been eyeing to make you realize that it’s all becoming “OIL”

 

[NICKJ]

Will point creep go down next year when the seasons reset or continue to creep?

My only hope is that this creep was exacerbated by 75/25 across the board. That being said, nothing is stopping CO from deciding to go more like 90/10 in the future like many other states

I think that was a big part of it.

The units I've been looking at didn't really increase at all. Which was a relief.

Was planning on a muzzy deer hunt next year in a unit that jumped 3 points ... there goes those plans ;/

 

[Schoolhousegrizz]

Creep for me as well.

 

[Foldem]

My unit jumped 2 points!!! @ColoradoV

 

[OKHunter84]

Unit I'd been eyeing has went up a point every year recently and continued to stay a point ahead of me. Luckily I picked a different unit and hit it just right.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

People really underestimating the influence of wolves being ON THE GROUND! The hunters in no man's land getting off the bench and becoming players. The next 5 primary draws are going to be WILD

 

[poboy2214]

The doe tag I applied for our 15 year old went from 95% odds with zero points to less than 50%. That’s baffling to me, that area wasn’t even hit hard by winterkill or drought the past few years. No tag for her Hopefully something comes up in the secondary draw

 

[ReaptheHeat]

Wolves --> people coming out of the woodwork and burning points
Winterkill/population targets --> lots of units had tags cut. Some cut almost to 0 tags per season.

There was also alot of tags cut due to the winter kill last year. But I would estimate that point creep will only go up. But also depends on what tags/unit/season your looking at...
