There has also been talks of having to use points on all choices. Draw your third choice, use your points. Lots going on here in Colorado. More of us should be listening to the commission meetings.

Yeah, They have talked about that and other things too.
I listen to the commission meetings and I agree with you ... probably more people should. They have alot of interesting discussions.

The comish has also stated they were sick of dealing with so many tags on the secondary draw and leftover list. Requiring people to burn points on a 3 and 4 choice will due just that.

First and second I could understand.

I don’t think it will help creep but I’m not smart. I also don’t think the new draw limits for moose, sheep and goats will help but again, I’m not smart.

For anyone interested, there’s a CPW commissioners meeting next week and they’re scheduled to talk about some of this stuff.

All of this is going to change with the wolves taking over CO elk herds. What I mean by that is non residents demand to come hunt I see dwindling in the next 5-10 years as these predators knock elk populations down. Just my guess.
The wolves aren't doing very well. I don't have access to the latest news but it has been far from a smashing success, a few have died a couple were killed for stock raiding, several states have refused to donate wolves for reintroduction

That’s good.
Give it time though. The prey numbers are there.

2 died from natural causes 1 from a lion, the other had a healed gunshot wound but also wounds from another wolf, the 3rd now they are saying had bullet wound but took USFWS 4 months with a necropsy to figure that out.

Every Rocky Mountain state has denied wolves even the colville Indian tribe (has stated they won’t send wolves from their reservation land) so now they have to go to British Columbia to find some
