2028 Colorado Sheep/Goat Question/Clarity

[ricknhunter]

I wanted to see if anyone knows in 2028 Colorado Sheep/Goat tags will go to all "Random" after you have the 3 weighted points? or will the higher weighted point holders still hold an advantage still? Thank you all for any input on this one.

Key 2028 Colorado Bighorn Draw Changes

50/50 Split Draw: For Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, 50% of tags will be allocated to high-point holders, and 50% will go into a weighted bonus draw (similar to Utah/Arizona) where every point gives you an entry.

Weighted/Bonus Point Combination: Existing weighted points and three-year preference points will be merged into a single point system.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Harvest: Harvesting a ram or either-sex bighorn sheep from 2028 onwards will make you ineligible to draw another male/either-sex tag for the same species in the future.

No More Point "Sandbagging": Hunters can no longer apply for "points only" while also applying for a tag; you must choose to either apply for a tag or apply for a point.

Desert Bighorn Specifics: The desert bighorn draw remains a 100% random draw with no preference points.

Waiting Periods: A three-year waiting period remains for individuals who have previously drawn a bighorn tag.

Does this mean when you apply and you don't draw you will no longer be awarded a point? Basically capping your points unless you decide to sit out and opt for just a point, to then apply with one more point in the following season?
