Happy for all of you guys who drew. From the sounds of this $hit show, a lot of things are potentially changing. lol

Thanks for posting that video.

For those interested..
5:40 (hours) starts point creep conversation
5:47 (hours) mentions losing OTC in the coming years as if that’s already a matter-of-fact in that office.

question I'm kinda new at this colorado deer draw thing... I selected a preference point for my 1st choice. However, on my second choice I selected third season anterless in a Unit where no points were needed last year. My application was unsuccessful does that mean 2nd choice now requires a point to get picked

Just because a unit took zero points doesn't mean it is a second choice unit. Tags are only available second/third/fourth choice if they make it that far.

Say a unit has 25 tags.
10 go at 2pp,
14 go at 1pp,
1 goes at 0pp.
There could have been 100 applications with 0pp and 1 person got lucky with 1% draw odds or simply 1 application with 0pp for 100% draw odds. It was still a 0pp unit.

Now say a second choice unit has 1,000 tags
100 go 2pp
150 go 1pp
500 go 0pp
Leaving 250 tags available for those who selected it as second choice.
Now there could have been 500 second choice applications for those remaining 250 tags. So you have a 50% chance at drawing second choice.

So it's never a gimme.

I'm deer going hunting!!

 

[605boomersooner]

I have not had a hit on my card nor anything in my colorado account stating denied, received etc. Still going on? etc

In addition to above, wolves have hit the ground so people with 10-20pp are going to get off the bench and begin participate

I did that this year. Burned 15 points to get out of the game.

Good luck! I used my 13pp for elk in 2022 and my sister used 12pp last year 2023 in the same unit. We both got 300" bulls but she one upped me and got a 7x.....

I burned my 14pp for elk in 2021 archery. I got tag soup, but had a hunt I won't every forget.

Yes. Point creep is a real thing

 

[fatcats]

Got a pp but cc didn’t get charged. No hunting for me this year

Heck yeah. End of the day that is what matters! Watching my sister kill her bull won't soon be forgotten

Nothing for me….yet.

Well, I have $100 small game license…. And did not draw a tag that was 100% on GoHunt. (Note: I chose the area because I grew up there and have family there. The GoHunt thing is just a running joke as that’s the third or fourth time I did not draw a “100% draw odds” tag.)

The next time anyone says we need more hunters they need to get slapped in the face.

In for the chaos. Should be an adventure.

Drew a muzzy elk tag along with muzzy deer. Going to be another fun year.
