Also interesting to see/realize how many units will be pushed over the threshold for 75-25 as point creep starts to ramp up - from folks burning before the asinine changes coming in 028’. After the change when creep explodes = yea lots of hunts will be over the running 3 year average to switch to 75-25.. That is going to change the nr draw even more..

Yep changes a coming boys so someone has a “chance” albeit .001% to draw a buck tag in 44-3rd…

We saw some hunt codes drop, and one jump unexpectedly. Everything else played out as we thought.

hopefully the elk hunting starts to get better in CO due to more and more limited opportunities because as I scan through the elk list its hard to believe how many points some units took. people are complaining about how many points to hunt General elk in WY but 10-11 points to hunt a subpar unit in CO...........

Talk about inflation! That tag is not worth more than maybe 2-3 years of waiting max… but hey some influencers showed an episode there so go wild fellas

Yea I live in 49 been crazy watching the changes. Chasing my dad around before I could hunt in the early 80’s was fun but yea it’s not worth what will soon be just shy of 20 points for a nr archery tag.

Don’t forget is archers are to blame.. or the “elk only” cba pushed keep otc or “still hunt and get a point” = sure has consequences and not has been sustainable for some time. Yet here we are…
