resident vs nonresident
Lil-Rokslider
ok so i have a dilemma this year and would like to hear What Would You Do
CO (resident) state sitting in that mid-tier point level, there's a unit that i've been wanting to hunt Archery originally (guaranteed at my point level now) but now i'm at 50% chance (if i predict point creep correctly) for a muzzleloader tag in that same unit. i never done Elk Muzzy hunt so am very interested.
WY (non-res) i have 6 points, looking at LY odds i should draw Gen-S most likely and Gen-W even more likely. being in Denver i like the idea of Gen-S for two reasons: no Grizz and i can scout and get up there every week
DILEMMA is around App / Modification /Result deadlines.
WY i have to commit by 2/2, latest to modify or withdraw 5/8, results 5/21
CO (have not released dates yet, but looking at past years +/1 a day) App deadline 4/1, Results end of May/Early June.
So basically i have to commit to both and have no chance to modify either as they will release around same time
WY i would add on Archery stamp and hunt both archery/rifle / late rifle(cow) if needed so i definitely will have plenty of time in field.
CO i would probably break Muzzy 9 day hunt into 4 & 4 day hunts, with 1 day back in office/home, this would basically kill my WY archery option (wife and i have agreement that unless its OIL tag i only get 2 weekends per month away from home/family)
i'd hate to sit out WY another year and then also Not draw my desired 1st choice CO tag.
so WWYD ?
