Colorado point creep

[buckhorn]

You guys could very well be right but at this point it’s all just speculation.
I talked with Biologist over unit 54 and he said he had only gotten a couple of calls inquiring about that unit.
He said the majority of the calls were inquiries about unit 55, 66 and 67.
54 might just fly under the radar enough to squeeze me in this year.
Will still take some luck though.

Buckhorn,

Not going to happen my friend, it will take much more than 1 point to guarantee a tag. If you want to hunt this year change your choice, or have a good 2nd choice.

OK Rich I’ll take your advice. How do I change my choice at this stage of the game?

I would not be surprised to see a tidal wave increase across the board actually. I'm hoping that is not the case but I know MT just said NR apps were up 30% this year, it seems across the West is seeing record number of apps. That is before factoring in the unprecedented later season dates in Colorado. I put in for a tag I'd love to draw knowing it would take a little luck this year, if it works out great, if not I'll figure something out.

What will be interesting to see how high the vouchers will go this year.

I can tell you the ranchers I know and deal with have had their phones ringing off the hook more this year than any other. They started getting phone calls in December, so I would expect the ones that make it to the open market to be expensive.

I know 3 NR s that applied for 67 2nd as a group, lowest point tag holder has 10 points. I applied for 66 3rd with 23 NR, honestly will be surprised if I get it with +3 from last year points needed.

Turns out they changed their group application to 66 2nd.

Turns out they changed their group application to 66 2nd.

Excellent, that's 3 fewer apps I have to worry about as I'm sitting at 9

You can't.
