Congrats! Figure that you proll have, but I would recommend that you line up an outfitter ASAP. They can fill up fast. I drew a nice NV Muzzy tag and it was a blast. I tried it self guided and ended up hunting the same country as the Dream Tag holder. He had an interesting experience and it...

Was hoping that someone would ask?

I usually try to keep my tail somewhat between my legs when asking such questions…..

Well, I ended up putting in for a tag that I had a reasonable chance of drawing this year and drew a 22 South Muzzleloader tag with 20 NR points. I’ll go guided because getting an elk out of that country by myself isn’t really doable. I’m in my mid 60s and have been burning points over the past...

It was a pretty easy decision to burn my 19 points this year. Decent winters, late dates and I found an outfitter that I was very comfortable with. I wanted a 3rd season hunt and my points made units 53,54,55 and 67 possibilities. I decided to go for 55 and drew it with a couple of points to...

I drew 55 3rd with 19 points. I was willing to overspend a little because I want to hunt this year and then start hunting more regularly with less points. It will be interesting to see the point creep data when it becomes available. Good luck to all!

I decided to start burning my built up points a couple of years ago. The Colorado season date change didn’t really motivate me as I had been planning to use my 19 points this year anyway. We’ll see if the higher point holders are willing to use theirs in 55; what will be will be. I used the same...

3rd season with 19 points. I have the same concern as others in my boat and we can only hope that it’s enough.

In light of the deadline extension, I think that everyone who posted can go in and edit their replies to this thread. So sorry for starting this mess.

Got it! Thanks!

Hey Buckhorn, What are the new developments? I posted the CO website policy on changing application choices which seems to indicate that choices can’t be changed after the deadline. Did I miss something else? I’m happy to try to delete this thread if Application choices can still be modified.

Thanks! Maybe ill rethink it.

Now that the CO deadline has been extended, respondents to the thread might want to go back and edit their replies.

Truly a shame. It's the only deer that I've hit in 40 something years of driving in whitetail country. Ran right into the drivers side front fender while I was moving along at 65 mph causing airbag deployment and 10K damage to the vehicle. Met some really nice people during the aftermath and...

Here's one that I hit with my Rental vehicle on Rt 93 on the way home from an Elk hunt. Bad day for both of us.

Here are a few pictures from the field.

Wow! What a beautiful buck Roy! I hope you get a crack at him.

I'd spend them now. It's not gonna get any better in the near future so why wait?

LAST EDITED ON Jun-18-17 AT 08:37PM (MST)[p]Sorry for your loss Mike and sincere condolences. You are one of the really good guys on the hunting forums and we appreciate your contributions. Elliott

Special for sure, especially if they have an average or better than average winter.

Congrats guys. Beautiful buck!

What's not to like about that beautiful buck? Congrats!

Nothing wrong with setting a goal and sticking with it. Good luck!

I'll be hunting Region G with a rifle this September. Looking forward to checking out that beautiful country. Good luck to all.

Congrats on finding him and I hope it works out for you this year!

A buddy and I spent 6 average points and drew G so we'll join the thousands strong bunch that will hunt that beautiful country this fall. This area has been on my bucket list for over 10 years so I'm really looking forward to a nice hunt. We opted for the special draw because we didn't want to...

I believe that this hunt has become way more weather dependent than it used to be with the large amount of rut rifle hunters chasing the bucks for several weeks just before this bow hunt. Last year the archers got some good weather and bucks arrived that hadn't been killed or spooked by the...

Congrats on a fantastic hunt and thanks for the great write up.

I'd be tempted to try the spike camp because I like to save on sleep and hiking. Most people don't do it because they like to stay more mobile with their glassing.

The vast majority of hunters will never draw such a tag and it's probably your best opportunity to ever hunt for a really big bull. I'd recommend using an outfitter and discussing your preferences with him. You can still scout and include your family in the hunt.

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Congrats on a great hunt Roy. Beautiful deer too. Always a good idea to hang out with knowledgeable people!

Great looking buck and mount! Congrats.

Sounds like a great time. Nothing like hunting with family! Congrats on on successful hunt.

Congrats to you guys on a great hunt! Love to see smiling kids with their animals. He's hooked for like I'm sure.

Congrats on a great deer, a well deserved and beautiful trophy. Good luck with the rest of the season.
