While we wait…CO draw dreams

[fishslap]

I’m wondering if lower point 4th rifle became easier to draw because people didn’t like losing one of the five days to thanksgiving last year. In my area, I think guys mostly hunted the last three days. I was surprised I drew the tag again.

My card got hit.

I'll be turning in my CO archery deer unit 76 tag if anyone wants it! Should be on the leftover list whenever that gets updated!

Had to do the same, different unit & rifle, but already surrendered mine up... Drew a NM Elk tag(way harder to come by as NR) after CO app was due that was same time as deer tag and couldn't swing both. Pretty cool CO lets you turn it in and get refund plus points back, not aware of another state that will do that without medical emergency. Originally thought you would even get a PP for this year but does not appear to be the case after re reading details.

Deer was yesterday. Hopefully elk is today.

My friend just got a CC hit for pronghorn, so elk is probably tomorrow

Yeah, twice, both successful on public land. What's the issue?

No issue

Drew my archery tag, same unit I hunted two years ago and blew two stalks in that haunt me to this day. I still remember vividly the massive 4x4 (probably not buck-of-a-lifetime class, but close) standing up and pegging me at 74 yards.

Time for redemption.

No issue

Your emojis hurt my feelings lol

Not much of an emoji user. Good luck on your hunt. Sounds like you have it dialed in.

Successful draw for Unit 25/26 mule deer plus got a bear tag for Sept. Hoping for an elk tag but who knows how that'll go.

From what I understand you must pick points restoration or a refund. Unless I’m mistaken and you can get both

This is what it says on my succeasful bear email. From what it reads to me, you can get both if surrendered before the 6th.

Yea @NickyD , Pronghorn tags hitting cards now.

 

[___DAN___]

So I got hit for deer which I had a point going in to the draw. I bought a pp for elk and put in for 2nd choice. If I happen to draw elk I like having the option to surrender points on deer f I cant swing both. Oh and yes she did mentioned antelope would be next then elk. Make sure you have money in your account tomorrow lol

There will be a lot of people using high points in the next 5 years which will make it difficult for the people who have zero to few points to draw tags. Reason? Wolf reintroduction. Cash in the points before all the good representatives are eaten by the "pretty dogs"

Everyone I know, including myself that are using a good amount of points are doing so because of these late season dates. Those are going to have a huge impact on the mule deer, especially mature bucks. The CPW is the biggest predator when it comes to the decline of the deer herds in Colorado. Just when you think the CPW can’t screw up any worse, they yell “hold my beer and watch this”
