Strategy for Colorado draw 2026/2027 with pending NR changes

[CMF]

I got my Ram this past season (2025). I now have 5 years of NO POINTS accrual waiting period. So I’ll be in the Desert for pure random draw. Then technically in 2031,32,33 I can earn my 3 qualification points so 2034 will be my first eligible year to try and draw RMBS Ram tag. While odds are super low technically it’s possible. And if so lucky that would be my OIL and I’ll be done after that for RMBS Ram opportunity

Same. But, dang it, I didn't realize there was a 5-year wait plus needing 3pp. I thought I would be back to buying points this year.

Yes 2026/27 are last years to draw before 2028 cut off. Meaning if you get a tag let’s say in 2027 you then wait (or apply for desert) 5 years. After 5 years you can get back into acquiring 3pps necessary to try and draw another Ram tag. But if you draw in 2028 or later you are done.

Thanks for the clarity! Might need to throw my hat in the ring next year...

You guys gotta start reading the regulations it’s all in there.
Wait NO don’t apply so I’ll have less competition in 9 years

I didn't know that they even finalized the 2028 regs, let alone have them in print.

2028 Colorado Drawing changes

It's not the finalized regs. It's details of the planned changes.

The way I interpret that is there are no NON-Resident draws until 2030 so no need for any Non-Resident to APPLY for ANY Colorado UNITS until after 2030 ....elk, mule deer, archery, muzzy, muzzleloader, rifle. No OTC units available for Colorado draw until after 2030.

There did I hit all the keywords so searches hit this reply?
