That’s apples and oranges. Res/NR and adult/ youth are 2 different discussions, 2 different issues.What if all 12 of those tags were turned in by adults? Would only adults eligible to apply?

…We are one and done.
This is a fair point, if they make any changes at all then returned tags should go to what they came from.Let’s say for hunt code deer 21 2nd. What if 10 NR turned in tags and 2 res turned in tags. In reality the 10 tags should go back to NR and the 2 should go back to Res as that is the way they were drawn from the primary and would keep the split as it was originally.
Utah gives all tags to the next in line. And have taken big steps to make it harder to return a tag.I just wonder if Utah or Wyoming would allow a draw (that includes premium tags) that gives preference to out of state youth over residents of any age?

I’m all for it, the commission won’t listen and they are accountable to no oneNo other state makes such a lions share of their budget from NRs. Lower our prices and raise yours and this goes away ?.
Every other western state has a lopsided pricing structure yet treats residents fairly in the quotas. CO can and should do the same.No other state makes such a lions share of their budget from NRs. Lower our prices and raise yours and this goes away ?.
Turn into a resident and i can guarantee your rhetoric will turn 180. Nonresident already get more than any other state, and while not cheap, Nonresident tags are affordable. Price doesn't keep me from applying in Wyoming, yet. You're from Texas. I hunt all the time, all over. Ive never hunted texas. I sat in a tower blind once, over a corn pile, with a buddy one time, if that counts. Quit whining about nonresident allocation and price, please! If you cant afford to come here every year, thats ok, and normal, in the world i grew up in. That's what your own backyard is for. For 32 years my hunting consisted of opening the backdoor, and walking 400 yards, to the woods behind my chicken barns. Allocation is more than fair. If you arent drawing a tag, or multiple tags, every year, its by choice or ignorance. Life isnt fair, get over it. And when you say "you this, you that" it reveals a little bit. I love it here, but its a little intense sometimes. I hunt with fists full of tags, but they are opportunity hunts, not coveted hunts. I have no say at all in cpw policy. I cant say they have ever followed my suggestions. Probably never read them even. If i (or any other normal guy in colorado) have so much influence, why is this?No other state makes such a lions share of their budget from NRs. Lower our prices and raise yours and this goes away ?.
It may be all over but the crime. The ultra progressive elements of the metro areas are in the drivers seat with foot on the pedal and no chance of slowing down it appears. I think if some of those nuts had it their way hunting would disappear and we would be left with “animal utopia” where the wolves take care of excess animals and everything is in harmony without man’s handColorado is in turmoil right now in the hunting world. Wolves, CWD, voters passing wildlife regulations, secondary draw, etc…. Hopefully there is some resistance to this **** or things could get real bad real fast. One thing I noticed on this thread is that half the folks posting have no idea how the current secondary draw works, yet are complaining. It’s real hard to get your voice heard if you’re talking out of your ass. I’d suggest that those in disagreement with current policies educate themselves on what they are in disagreement with before screaming at those in charge. It’s a lot easier to dismiss a voice that lacks knowledge of the issue at hand.
Good luck. I hope Colorado hunters can somehow stop this train that is currently steamrolling through hunting.
Yes we need to go totally limited for NR but we should stick with OTC for residents, at least until the wolves take hold.Keep banging away at trying to get elk totally limited. That has to be the first step.
I actually agree to a point, I think if you keep otc for residents you do it with DAU’s so 3–6 unit chunks. But need to make all limited for NR. That means 2&3rd rifle not just archery. And if you want to sell some otc to NR make it OTC w caps and do the same thing. Make people pick a DAUI disagree. Go totally limited with elk, but stay very liberal with resident tags. Cut NR tags.
Otherwise you will continue to have people move around too much. Helps overcrowding when they can’t pick up and move 3 units away
And CPW won’t cut resident tag numbers short. It would cost them too much money. But what do I know. Just a NR.
