CO Outdoors Pref Point Issue?

Does it have any info that Toprut or the CO draw reports don't have?

I ordered one in early December. After two weeks, I called back and they didn't have my order. Now it's been another 5 weeks. Wondering if it is even worth it now.
 
To answer your question: No, it has less info than the two you mention

The Colorado Outdoors pref pt issue can be a good first step to narrow things down but requires you to dig deeper before you apply.
The problem lies in that it shows a tag being drawn out even if only 1% drew the tag. For example it shows DM071O3R was "Drawn Out At" 0 points for CO residents. Going onto the CPW website shows that only 2 out of 227 applicants actually drew it with 0 points - 1% draw odds.
 
The Colorado Outdoors Preference Point issue is a bit misleading. It gives the total quota prior to Landowners taking a 20-25% cut of the tags depending on which side of I-25 they're on.


So if a GMU west of I-25 says in has 100 tags, 20 of those tags are taken off the top for landowners, so in reality there is a tag quota of 80 tags going into the public draw, and of the 80 tags in the draw 52 are guaranteed to residents for their first choice and up to 28 for nonresidents for first choice unless resident demand isn't there for 52 tags.

Sad isn't it that residents are only guaranteed 52 tags out of 100.
