I have 6 colorado deer points. I'm looking at a unit that took 6 points last year to guarantee and some drew with 5. This unit just got a 4th season. Question. If we have a normal winter, unlike last Nov, will the 4th season be better than than the 3rd?I can see heavy snows and good rut activity during the third season resulting in lots of good bucks getting killed before the 4th season.

Also, will the additional season make the 3rd season easier to draw?

Will people that haven't previously put in for this unit jump in the pool or will the 4th season spread out the draw pressure?

Am I out thinking myself? After reading this post, I think I'm thinking too much.
 
With point banking, no one really knows. In that point range it could be a complete crapshoot.
 
With point banking, several new 4th season hunts and the 80/20-65/35 resident/nonresident ratios it will be very interesting to see what happens in the draws this year.

First question: Will your pool of tags drop from 40% to 35% or 20%? If it took residents 5 points for the last 3 years it will drop to 20%

I suspect that many will jump on that 4th season and the points needed will be higher than 6. I suspect you best bet may be to stick with the 3rd season and pray for early snow

If you are talking about units 54, 55, 551 like it was said above it may be a crapshoot because of the hype as of late about these units. I'll go out on a limb and say alot of people (with points) will be going for those 4th rifle tags possibly making it easier to draw 3rd.
As far as a lot of good bucks being taken during 3rd yes obviously there will be some taken, if you are worried about that hunt 2nd rifle..you'll be the 1st to go after them with a rifle. Do remember there is a break between 3rd and 4th rifle and 4th will be a week further or at the peak of the rut giving you great opportunity at a mature buck.
You've got to think about this stuff, you have 6 points! Its all good I do the same thing.
