Almost a last minute decision to go to Colorado this year. Due to work commitments, a co-worker and I can not get away from work until November (3rd or 4th season). I bought the Colorado Hunt Report here on MM and it deffinately has some good information. In fact, almost too much good information. We're now struggling to decide between more units than what we started with. Two years ago I took my son to Colorado, but that hunt was for him and we directed our efforts at some areas that were more in line with his abilities as a 13 year old. Many of you provided me with some great information for his hunt and we had a blast and got into some deer, again thanks for that info. Now it's my turn and I want to get away from the crowds and hopefully get into some less hunted country. We have zero points so, right off the bat we know are choices are fewer.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Could you go to the place you took your son?
Your chioces may be limited when you look at the hunt report because those units probably take points.
Can you get your hands on a March/April issue of Colorado Outdoors? Might be able to get one on CDOW's website, maybe? It will tell you ALL the units and what points (if any) it takes to draw.
Whatever you put in for make sure you check the box on your application that states " If unsuccessful, send me: LEFTOVER DRAW" as they will send you a list of leftover licenses in july and you will have 1st crack at the leftovers before the generel leftover license sale in august.
Also think about building points and drawing a tag 2nd choice.

Thanks for the reply. My son drew 11,211 two years ago and we are considering it too. We've already got the draw odds and yes we've considered building points and try and draw a 2nd choice hunt. As of tonight I think we've narrowed it down to 1st choice of units 42,421 or 15,35,36 or 22 or 43 or 444 or 11,211. We would likely put in for 2nd choice on units 12,13 or 4.

Anyone else with some suggestions?
