CO 2nd draw tags still in leftover...what gives?

[IrkedCitizen]

I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks!

One in the hand is better than two in the bush

Yep, if i can get two in the bush, im not interested. And i have small hands.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Good for you man! I got in right at 9 and somehow wasn’t able to snag like 1 of 24 available, sometimes it’s a head scratcher

Maybe you will get one in a subsequent reissue

 

[bozeman]

Well, I got my 3rd choice! New places, new challenges. Best of luck to all this season.

Very true! Man I could cry not using this back in the day when I had a chance…

How does it work if you wanted to essentially swap tags. I have a tag I drew and want to switch to a different unit? Can you buy the leftover first and then return the other tag or do you need to return your tag first?

You need to turn in your tag and hope for the best.

Aha!!! That could definitely explain the "gone in seconds" tags.

I was in, confirming hunt code, and checked out by 9:01am. It doesn't take long. I went back in for a bear tag but they were gone.

I totally spaced thinking it was 11am not 9am, oops.

That’s not really it imho, it’s thousands of folks going after them, it happens all the time even with reissues. I am not kidding when I said fraction of a second to select and put into the cart.

If it’s one that isn’t gonna sell out and you go to a CPW office you can do a swap and it saves a fee, but that’s only useful for OTC or tags with tons of leftovers/low demand.

Come on CPW give the res just a couple hours to grab "leftover" tags before everyone else.

The better hunt codes would still be gone in minutes

I just want less competition for the aggressively mediocre but not quite otc tags that I hunt haha

The secondary draw is 100% preference to youth. Your odds in that round were zero to terrible.

Not exactly true. Depends on the tag. If you look at the draw recap for the secondary - there’s a hell of a bunch of adults (me included) that draw every year.

It is true. The preference is to youth. It doesn't mean you can't get a tag. If there is one tag and a kid applies, and you also apply, the kid gets the tag.

If you're drawing in the secondary every year, you're likely drawing $hit tags.

Getting an EM011O1R tag isn't exactly the shining star tag people have in mind when they are talking about drawing a decent tag in the secondary.

The "decent" tags are gobbled up by the youth. Period.

Yeah, we all understand how the draw works. Adults odds in the secondary are not “zero to terrible” for tags in general.

For what many consider “good” tags, I agree with you.
