I'm thinking about burning my moose points on a cow tag. I've got 18 weighted points. I'm thinking with wolves & my age (69) I should go while I still can. Which unit ?

With Colorado Shiras you should think bull elk with a big old head. You can quarter, and even debone, and they are very manageable.

All of those units are good choices for a high weighted point holder.

Unfortunately odds get worse every year with all the new applicants getting to 3+0. Thank CPW for opening the flood gates by waiving the upfront fee a few years ago

Bob,
I have hunted unit 6 now 3 times for moose. 2 of my hunts and helped a buddy with his cow. If you draw I would be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
That is a seriously big investment for a nonresident. 2700 plus 100 dollars a point for a cow. And I get it, I've tried to talk one of my friends into burning point for a cow. He's not listening though. A Canada moose isn't that much more on the surface. Travel is more, guide and cook tips...but that's for a bull.

It's a tuff call - probably a better value per pound in CO than going to Canada or Alaska for a cow, and a fraction of the price if you get a bull tag.
Do it while you can and never look back. I always wanted to go on an Alaskan moose until I thought I had the money to go on a great hunt. Once I found out the truer costs and reality of spending $20-40K for a great all around hunt, I couldn't pull the trigger on this - even though I could afford it now, I can't feel right about spending that kinda of money.
More power to those whom do spend the money & know doubt I would have the time of my life but I just can't pull do it.
Funny how ones priority change over time!
