How do you know if you drew 2nd or 3rd choice? This is my 1st time applying to Colorado and saw Monday that I now have one point. Just checked again now and did not see any thing different that tell me about 2nd or 3rd choice? I am new at this so let me know if I am doing something wrong?

The 588 number means you drew one of your choices!
Any number in the 400s is not good news

Backdoor Method:

Go thru the typical online application process.
Fill out accordingly
Select ' Habitat Stamps and All other licenses'
Scroll down to see what you have on file

For example:
2012 - 580 RES ELK [This is good!]
2012 - 480 RES ELK [This is bad]

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't see any numbers other than my CID#, DOB, pref point, etc. Under draw it says "You will be mailed". Am I missing something? I am going to CDOW draw results and pref point page, should I be looking somewhere else? Guess I will check tomorrow to see if anything changed.

Thanks for trying to educate me in the mysterious "backdoor"

Well they posted the results and I can't believe I pulled a Bull Muzzleloader tag as 2nd choice! Wonder what the odds are for that? It was 97% chance as a 1st choice and I figured that if less people put in for it and a tag went to 2nd choice I would be the only one crazy enough to put that down as 2nd choice. I guess I was right. Guess i am going in deep in the high country with a smokepole during the rut! And I got a point too!

is there any way to see how many people they drew for a specific unit/season?
