Colorado Elk Preference point help

[TAH]

I posted a question on hunting 201 and possibility with 26 pts as resident for muzzleloader. To "35Whelen Al," am i not allowed to move from Idaho to Colorado? Is this site not to ask questions of others that may have hunted to the area and have information? If all you are going to do is pick at people for asking questions why bother responding. Thanks ElDiablito for 61 suggestion and not bitching about me asking a question. 35WheelenAl, go scout for cow elk spots.

Rokslide has asked everyone to NOT post unit specific details on the open forum, these detailed discussions need to be had with private messages. These threads are searchable forever and no doubt the internet has ruined a lot great spots.

In general, absolutely not.

Delete this whole thread and read the rules

@TAH
It doesn’t appear you have ever lifted a single finger to help anyone on this site with anything.
Why would you have any inclination that we would help you?

@TAH: This thread is a violation of this section of the Rokslide forum rules.

Our forum posting rules are very simple: no whining, crying, sobbing, sniveling, sulking, bickering, slandering, name-calling, complaining, smart comments, or pouting! If you feel compelled to do any of the above, you could be banned without warning for violating any of our rules whether written, spoken, or implied here or other places on this site.​

@TAH - your other thread (which was locked) was a violation of these sections of the Rokslide forum rules.

• Do not make your first post asking for knowledge of certain areas. Every year the members of Rokslide see the same posts regurgitated over and over again that look something like this....... "Hey guys, I drew unit 1234567 tag and never been there where is the best spots to go?" 90% of the time, this is the user's FIRST post, and many times their last post as well, as they never return to post on the forum again. People are more likely to share information with people they somewhat trust, (as much trust as u can give someone on an online forum anyway) that they have seen contributing to the forum, posting and commenting for some time etc. I guarantee there is a difference in the amount and type of feedback someone gets who posts the above question as their 1st post vs someone posting the same questions and it's there 500th post. In general I’d say make an introduction post, some congratulations comments or thanks for any helpful info you find, use the like button instead posting something like “good, okay”. Show some enthusiasm and initiative towards the hunt your asking questions about also gratitude to those who answer. Oh, a trip report is a great way to show thanks to the guy who shared their information with you.
• Now unfortunately we aren't letting FNG's (new guys) post up unit specific questions. Any unit question/answers remain out in the world wide webs forever, which can doom some really great spots.
  The expectation is that all Rokslide members will understand and support this concept and take all such conversations to private message.
  Yes, it's a hassle to join and be part of this community but the rewards are worth the effort including the ability to send and receive private messages.

Some of you guys are wild. He has 26pp and is asking about a unit you likely will never draw. Anyone starting today will never catch it. People with 15pp won't catch it. Even if he moves to Colorado he is at the bottom end of the required points so chances are he won't draw it with 26pp. Definitely not drawing as a NR with 26pp. NR 201 MZ took 32pp in 2024.

But OMG YOU ARE BREAKING THE RULES!!!11one

@TAH You can move here to Colorado if you want. It opens a bunch of options at your point level. 201 isn't an automatic option though.

At what point level is the break to talk or not talk about units though?

 

[CoHiCntry]

15… it’s in the Rokslide forum rules.

It's part of the reason that unit can't be had. People are talking about it online. The internet screwed a lot of things, heaven forbid we try to slow it down.

Truth

1, 2, 10, 201 have been the top elk units in Colorado for 30+ years and counting. Even if there was 100% irrefutable proof that those units did not have bulls larger than 280" those units would still take 25pp+ to draw. Due to the mystique of those units for all that time.

You are not slowing anything

 

[realunlucky]

Well it against the rules and also impacts those with 25 points and below.

You want to talk spots take it to private message

Believe it, or not, the CO draw is changing. (Plenty of other threads elsewhere in the forum for that discussion.) So things will change and people will be able to draw these units in the future. And FNG thread is in violation of forum rules, as noted above.

Boohoo

Even that unit you drew a couple years ago has lots of point creep from online attention

We’re not speeding anything up either.

Last year it was still guarantee tag with 10pp RES. I used 13pp in 2022.

Might be able to draw it again with 0pp in 2028
