Colorado left-over licenses tips

[timrickert1]

I'm trying to get ready for buying Colorado left-over licenses. Does anybody have any tips?

Yes, if you are a member of Gohunt, or another hunt consulting company, go back and look at their recommendations on what to apply for and look for those hunts on the list. That's what I did.

Be the first to secure and pay for the tag you want, and it most likely will be yours. You're welcome.

My tip to everyone else is don't bother.





I'm sure everything will crash. But I'll be calling in.

Good luck to everyone.

Lots of good info here too. CPW does a great job of explaining things, including snags to avoid on leftover day.

I have my list of codes ready to go!

Camped out at an undisclosed location. First in line.

I think if you are really serious, Josh has the right plan. I have several friends that last year picked up tags by being in line 24+ hours before hand. The CO system will likely crash or at least slow down enough that it limits anyone online from the best tags.

Good luck everyone

More power to them! My happiness doesn't depend on pulling the perfect tag. I have a list of 7 hunt codes lined up and would be just as happy with any of them but of course would love to have my top priority. But I'm not going to get all wound up if I go through all seven and don't get a tag. I'll just switch gears and grab something else. Worst case scenario I end up OTC which is still great.

I figured out a long time ago that the best way to ruin a hunt is to be unhappy from the beginning. There's always something to complain about if you want - wrong tag, too many other hunters, bad weather, wrong gear, someone else has "my" campsite, etc.

Hunting Colorado is my happy time. The last thing I'm going to do is introduce stress into that process.

Good luck to everyone today!

Excellent attitude and plan. I’m on the same page.

The Daily Stoic is an email I get. It presents a specific point/lesson every day. If you aren’t already aware of it, you might check it out.

Good luck to all!!

Well, it logged me off, so you're welcome. LOL

It was a bit slow for sure, but after 10 minutes I was able to get through it all and score a tag!

Process confirms why if I don't draw a tag intially, I'll spend my money in Kansas, Nebraska, and other states on upland game.

Pro tip: don’t fat finger and close your tab once you’ve added your tag to your cart. Ask me how I know.

Edit: scored a cow tag for third!!! In my “doe” unit!

I was first in line with my choices in at 0900 and all three of my archery elk choices were gone. Last year that 3rd choice was still available with multiple tags at noon. So, it might work out.........or it might not work out. She did pull up a deer tag for me that was still available near your tag, but I didn't want it without the elk tag.

I like the system much better than in years past but ultimately the results were the same.....no tag.
Unbelievably slim pickings on the list now compared to past years. Tags that I picked up weeks after they went on sale are sold out already.

Same result for me. I had all my info programmed to auto-fill once the screens popped up (CC info, hunter ed, hunt selection 1 and 2). I hit that "proceed" button at 9:00.01 according to time.gov... took 4 minutes to pull up the screen just to select the hunt choices. 3 minutes watching the circle go round and round to confirm that hunt choice 1 was gone..... 3 more minutes to confirm that choice 2 was gone.

Going in person and being the first in line must be the only way to get those nice tags.

Or I suppose just get drawn the first time in the regular drawing?
