25 points for Elk in Colorado?

[Whorn]

Any advise on my 25 points for Resident Elk in Colorado. If I understand correctly, I only have this year and next year to apply with our current system, so I think I need to pull the trigger. I am thinking the North West corner?

Study the draw recap reports from recent years to get an idea of what tags you could expect to draw.

Not saying it's good advice, but hey, it's free.

Not sure what to tell ya…

You’ve had 25 years to plan

My plan was always 201. With 25points I’m running out of time with change coming in 2028 and point creep

All bull tags for unit 201 drew out at 26+ resident points the past 2 years. Even if creep were flat this year, 25 points wouldn’t give you a decent chance at any of those tags; your only shot would be the random portion of the hybrid draw, which is a long shot (less than 1% draw odds).

Just be VERY careful entering your code during the draw...don't become one of the annual hunters that burns 20+ points on a tag that has leftovers

I only see two tags that would warrant putting in for with 25. Shouldnt be too hard to choose.
