With my dad diagnosed with pancreatic cancer late last summer, he decided to put in for one of the resident cow tags that have close to 50/50 odds. My fingers are crossed for that to happen.
Sorry man - sure hope he draws!

I'm still in a bit of shock as I didn't figure it would happen especially with all the extra applicants and now eventually wolves but I'll be damned. Still not real until I get the tag in hand or at least the email.

I changed things up due to the fire up here last year and put in for a different unit with 3+9 weighted points.

The CPW site is updated and its official - I'm hunting moose in CO this year. I've spent a fair amount of time in the area and plan to spend all my free weekends camping up there but if anyone has any insight to offer on the unit I'd be grateful.

Nothing like a moose hunt! I drew 7,8,191 back in 2012, then again for a cow in 2017. You're gonna have a great time! My bull hunt is one of my best hunting memories!

Well, I put in for the same tag with 14 weighted. It's called a lottery for a reason.

I'm in Ft. Collins too. Once you determine when you are going, shoot me a pm. I'd be happy to be on call for a pack out if you need a hand.

Sorry man. At least I wasn’t one of the FNGs with 3 and 0 that stole your tag - ha!

Appreciate the offer and I will keep you posted. Told the wife I didn’t feel like dealing with all the idiots out for the holiday weekend and we should just stay home instead of camping but now I’m think it might be worth it...

I am booked for an AK moose hunt this fall, so I figured if I were ever to draw in CO it would be this year. Blessing in disguise I suppose. I don't see it as a stolen tag, just not my year yet. I like seeing people succeed.
I do sort of miss the days when it took a few days to trickle out the bad news. I also didn't draw a deer tag this year. Oh well, more time to scout, and plan for next year, right?

No tag here.

Congrats! We will play on call packers as well if you wish. Last year @KickinNDishin and I did the same for Fritz at Black Canyon Customs. It was several miles to above treeline, half at night, a lot of fun and a great memory.

Ha! I was up there in ‘18 and figured that would be the year I drew as well!

Appreciate the offer and sorry your old man didn’t pull the tag. I will keep you posted
