So bow hunters should use their points but rifle hunters shouldn't have to.
I say again: The hunters who get the best tags are the ones who bow hunt least(contribute less). That's just wrong.
The archery changes proposed will have the effect of only giving the best bow tags to those who bow hunt less frequently (or never).
Eliminating resident OTC archery and leaving the 75/25 Resident/Non-resident split only applying to the first choice means a resident probably won’t get a bow tag...
The place I hunt in Southern Colorado had massive Spruce beetle kill about 10 years ago. The space between the dead trees is full of growth. I've noticed a major increase in deer numbers starting about 5 years ago.
I decided to go for the second season even though there was a third season tag on the list. I was hoping everyone would be trying for the better tags this week and it paid off. But I can't stop thinking "what if I had tried for the third season".
The information above about the tags being gone in milliseconds is wrong. I was retrying continuously. I got my tag about 11:01. Also, the leftover list timestamped at 11:10 is a page longer than the 11:05 list.
