Point Banking in Colorado - Pay Extra?

[cnelk]

As of yet, Point Banking in Colorado is not off the table for the CPW Commission.

Today I heard something that was interesting.

If Point Banking was implemented, an extra surcharge of $500 would be charged to participate.

Thoughts?

All that extra cash may sway the Commission. I’d pay that.

Meh. Would nice to see points max at like 10 and then lottery. It may encourage more people to build points/spend $ if there is a "chance" rather than endless point creep. Those holding top points get some kind of preference for a 5 year period or less, or use 10 banked points (once) during the same time period.

I don't plan on being a point accumulator, but if I had a reasonable chance at OIL tag it might make sense to get in the game.

Point banking is the worst thing ever devised for a draw system.

I might pay extra for point banking. The extra 2-3 points that you are paying also has value (for all of us). Helps clear out some upper point guys.

Sure, some effect on lower units.

At this point I sometimes think Colorado needs to just have a real ugly 5 year free for all where point banking and point sharing are both allowed and at the end of it reset the entire system to a 60/40 preference/bonus system.

Allow the guys who have applied for 25+ years a decent option to get out. Anybody with that many points was filling out paper apps and sending in checks for a lot of years.

My dad has 32 points for elk lost out on his tag last year to a guy with 7 points and another with 15. When he started saving points he needed 15. The system is broken

I'd be down for that if 100% of the funds were evenly distributed back to all who applied for that hunt code unsuccessfully as a first choice.

Colorado? Residents sneaking in with the hybrid draw?

Your dad should study the Draw Recaps.

Elk draw isn’t random - it’s based on PPs only - except the Hybrid

Point banking will hurt opportunity for younger hunters. The old timers with lots of points will start peeling them off and drawing multiple low-to-mid range hunts and drive point creep on ordinary hunts through the roof. I'm sorry, but if you saved points for 20 years, you made a mistake. Burn 'em on the best hunt you can get and join the rest of us back at zero.

 

[ladogg411]

nope…didn’t happen.

What he describes happens all the time with hybrid draw codes. But only residents would be able to sneak in that way.

Some of the crap I read on here I swear sometimes

How do you figure!!? Those of us with 20+ points paid for them. I didn’t save anything I bought them, planning to use them when I chose to.

More rumors etc just Like the last go around…. Remeber 15 Aug opener for deer?


I could careless waste the DOW does .

Oh…. All the rumors…. Boom status quo!

Whenever I think I hear/read the stupidest idea yet, someone says “hold my beer”.

Instead of point banking, how about, you have 3 years to use your points, after that they transition and identify as a bonus point, which equates to an extra name in the hat. If you put in for a unit and have 20 bonus points, your name goes in 21 times. No more bonus points will be given out and when the last guy finally draws…or dies…its a straight random draw, 80/20 across the board.

One of those folks who puts the preference point hunt code as first choice, and expects their preference points to snag up "their" hunt code as a second choice.

Anyone been to Disney World?

And pay the Express Pass not to stand in line?

Same concept.

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Yep. I think 32 points could have drawn any (I think) NR tag in the state. I'm watching, I have 31.
