I'll be here waiting to hear yalls reports! Chewing on my tag jerky (from a diff unit) that cost me 10 years of points to draw.Its pretty darn chewy.

Chevy enough to not forget that 2nd season is 2nd season is 2nd season. Even if the draw says its worth X points, and its late in the calendar re-set....its still 2nd season.

I know one guy from NV hunting now. They'd spotted a couple 180's and 1 bigger on Tuesday so we'll see what they find.

Any updates? How did everyone’s seasons go?

 

[COLOelkman]

Guy I knew of from NV shot maybe a 160-170 (wild guess) but didn't want the photo posted. I heard the Thomas Diesing buck was taken in 44 but no personal knowledge. It's on his Instagram and Mile High Note Game Calls page so click on some of those links for other photos. It's also been on several other sites I've seen. Really cool buck for sure.

I saw that buck posted up! Awesome buck!

I should be out of the points creep this year and I sure am excited to hit the ground as soon as the snow melts. Unit 44 is what I have been waiting for. I'll take any advice our story's I can get. Thanks to everyone for posting.

Hope you all have a great year.

4th season? Is what still 20+ points? Helped a buddy out there a couple years back, it was dry and warm and super tough hunting, he ended up finding a 204” buck close to civilization on some blm and connected, saw one other 190 ish buck in dark timber, pray for cold and snow for sure. Buddy hunted elk their 4th season last year, mostly to watch deer I think and glassed up some tanks. Good luck if you draw it. It’s a sweet tag

If you are a resident the cpw is taking tags from resident hunters and just might affect you. I talked w a resident who has 20 that has been enough for 4th at 80% but at 75% he is likely waiting another year or 2.

Yea crazy Colorado is giving more tags to non residents in high point units…

Anyone know how the winterkill was in 44 this year?

 

[COLOelkman]

Not sure why we couldn’t do 75/25 in all units and 80/20 or even 90/10 in high draw units? Que the NR hate in 3, 2, 1….

I'm ignorant on this... what's the current ratio for NR / R tags in those units?

Over 6 points was 80/20. Everything else was 65/35. Now it will be 75/25 across the board starting next year

 

[Wags]

I'm a NR and I think 75/25 is plenty fair.

I agree… I voted for that resolution for now since 80/20 wasn’t an option

I will take this opportunity to agree with you

 

[Foldem]

This is not accurate. The commission voted in May for 75/25 in low demand and kept 80/20 in high demand. Big W for us residents compared to 75/25 across the board... for now.
