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

[TauPhi111]

Not complaining here (kinda, but not really) but looking for an actual explanation on how my 1st choice for elk and 1st and 2nd choices for mule deer in the Colorado 2nd draw are still on the leftover tag list. I suppose turned in tags are possible, but I would think it is highly unlikely that someone would have drawn the tag in the secondary draw, which is hard enough, and then subsequently turned it back in within a month. Otherwise I'm not sure why I would not have drawn it in the second round. Thought I had a pretty good handle on how the Colorado draw system works, but apparently not. Anyone have any insight?

People ask this every year...

Someone either turned in or didn't pay for the same tags that you applied for.

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

In the first draw someone may or may not have had more PP than you. Even by 1 perhaps and they got drawn. Maybe they didn’t pay, maybe they turned it back in, maybe plans didn’t go as planned, life happens.

2nd draw it’s youth preference but, if you’re lucky enough, you get drawn (I did last year and the year before but not this year). However it could also be no pay or drew and turned them back in. Putting it back into the leftover list.

A lot of people always ask the same question every year after first draw as to why it’s in the 2nd draw. Then followed up to why is it in the leftover list. Both residents and nonresidents. Try and get it when they go on sale on Aug 5

Good luck.

I wonder how many people put their kids in the secondary draw to keep the tags from being drawn and intentionally not pay so they have a chance at picking them up from the leftover list.

I understand how it works but since you mentioned it, there's a deer tag on the leftover list that my daughter failed to draw in the secondary draw.

The current ‘leftover list’ is a combination of leftovers and reissues.

The following week, reissues will be posted separately and then moved to the leftover list if not purchased

I forgot about the leftovers?! Thanks for the reminder Boys see ya Wednesday morning!!!!

 

[TauPhi111]

Thanks all for your replies. I forgot about the youth preference for 2nd draw. Just seems weird that so few tags remained in the second draw and then they are still even a few left in leftover. I'll be johnny on the spot on the keyboard come wednesday morning.

Probably next to zero if not zero. What parent is gonna get their kid a tag, not let them hunt it and instead turn it it, pay a fee to turn it in and then bank on repurchasing the tag when the reality is reissued go in milli-seconds once posted up. WHY would a person do that and not just take their kid hunting on the tag if they were eligible to draw it in the first place?

Lotta people ain't great parents or have kids who aren't into hunting yet. I dunno, was just thinking why sught (I can't spell that word) after tags may be skipping through the youth draw somehow. Probably unrealistic but the type of things we've seen people do to get tags nothing would surprise me anymore.

As noted they would go back on the reissue list, not sure if you've tried to buy a reissued tag before but once they load the desired ones literally go in a fraction of a second. The chances of you actually getting a sought after tag back through the reissue process is miniscule. What you propose is the most convoluted idea for a ridiculously low chance of success. I'm not saying some moron hasn't tried it but can't imagine it happens with any frequency because why would someone waste all the effort to only loose the tag in the end almost every time?

So you're saying there's a chance!

My first choice elk tag for the primary draw had 2 available on the leftover list and I was able to get one of them. Yay!

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 have to return the tag first then play leftover roulette

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

I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks!
