CPW Decisions Today

But this will cut the number of max point holders getting drawn every year in the pref draw by half. Some number of them will then draw in the bonus. But it will increase creep at the top. Don’t you think?

Only for those units which really only effects a minority of point holders.

I am glad to see it is based on Residency........


IMHO that's a major win for NR for sure and most don't even know it.

What I wonder is how many will hold out waiting, assuming this would apply after the leftovers are available for returned tags?

 

[tdhanses]

I agree. And make them use their points for ANY A-LIST Tag no matter when it is drawn.

As a NR I completely agree!

And if a bunch try for the 50% random, won’t that give us better opportunities in all other units?

Potentially and I do see that as a positive. I would love if that is the case

As a NR I completely agree!

As a resident this is a terrible idea, CO already treats residents like crap. Use points for an A list OTC hunt or sit out?

Currently I get to hunt 1 week in a mediocre unit each year and every 3-4 years hunt a decent unit during 1st rifle.

How many weeks of deer hunting and how many tags do you get in your home state?

Do you still have to pay the $30 fee for the preference point if you put in for a unit and don’t draw?

You can opt out of getting a preference point according to the post meeting document on CPW’s website

What does the once in a lifetime tag for sheep or goat do to someone who pulled a tag 20+ years ago and has been buying say sheep points for last 20 years??

I have a friend in this position with sheep. He got a sheep years ago, but has 20-21 points as a resident and stands to pull another tag in next few years. Sorry if this has already been asked.

I’m assuming the OIL goes into affect with the changes, and anybody who has taken a ram is essentially grandfathered in on their past ram and could still get one (and only one) after 2028.

I don’t know that factually but it only makes sense unless they start sending out checks for points people have purchased which I really doubt would happen.

That’s not what it says, it says if you get a tag you use points. It’s your choice if you want to hunt every year or sit out to build points, resident or not, residents can easily have a tag in hand every year.

In my state once I draw a bull elk tag I’m done for life, so one time opportunity.

For deer NR get a pretty easy draw for deer in my state, in CO 0pt units hold big bucks, if your hunting a mediocre unit that’s on you. I would never build more then 2pts for deer in CO and that only happens because I would rather elk hunt and not have 2 tags.
