Colorado Elk Back Door Is Open

[In God We Trust]

You need to look at your preference points total. If you used all of your points this year it will say 2013 0 points, if you didn't draw your first choice it will say 2013 and # of points, if you drew your fist choice on 0 points it will list the last year your preference points were something other than 0 and 0 for points. Hope I didn't confuse you, bottom line is if it is showing 0 points for elk you drew your first choice.

The 'Backdoor' is not open yet.
Until last year, it was the only way to check 'codes' to see if you drew a tag.
Then the DOW changed the format a bit, so when the draw takes place, any Pref Points applicable to your 1st Choice were affected.
The current Pref Point Status IS NOT the 'Backdoor' method.

The 'Backdoor' method requires you to go thru the application process to see what APPS you have on file.
'400s' numbers are not good, 500s mean you drew SOMETHING... 2nd -4th Choice.

Then when ALL results are posted within a week or so, you will see what you drew.

I hope this is helpful

So cnelk if its not open then the 2013-480 Res Elk App is just what is says the numeric number given for the application correct and they haven't posted them yet? Correct

i was also told they draw the areas all at different times so they wont post the same info at the same time for everyone.?

Correct - the 480 code means your app is on file
You want to see the 592 code - or something like that for a successful draw in 2nd-4th

Ok that's what I thought. Wow thought I was loosing my mind for a moment there. Thank you for the help!

There seems to be some lag as to when some people get their results and when others get theirs.
Im not sure why tho

I cashed my NR points on a muzzleloader tag. I have high hopes with the later season dates this year!

I just checked and I'm listed as having 1 pref. point now. So, that means my group did not draw this year...

I show a 480 app on file, but all my points went to 0. I assume I drew, they just haven't updated the tag yet. I only had a first choice or point option.

I have Talked to a lot of people saying the same things. they have stated that they have points missing and point showing up on there preference points but they say there years are not correct. so if that is true i'll be in a great mood all summer waiting for september! good luck everyone!

Looking at current points has never been wrong for me or anybody I know. The year can be off if you have drawn a few years in a row it will show the last time you had a change in points.

So let's say you had a point in 2009, then drew a tag (first choice) in 2010 and then also drew in 2011 and 2012 (first choice). Your points will still say 0 points and the year 2010. If you applied this year and it's still saying 2010 then you drew again for 2013.

Now if it's showing a year other than 2013 and point # above zero next to it then something is off or the app was done incorrectly.

I might be wrong on this, this is just my experience.
