draw dates

mntman · May 3, 2014

One of you asked earlier about deer draw dates...
This is what I heard for the remaining species, the CO back door is generally fast (that day or within 2 business days of drawing).
May 8th - Moose and Bear.
May 9th - Deer.
May 14th - Pronghorn.
May 16th-Elk.

If these are correct, good luck fellas! Oh come on moose tag, please show up with my name on it

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

That's a very quick turnaround for bear and moose, given the tag numbers will be approved the same day at the commission meeting. Guess they'll be waiting with their finger on the button.

Yes it would but like I said if these are correct.?.?.?

adamwipp07 · May 8, 2014

Looks like so far your draw dates are as you predicted! They must approve tag numbers and do the computer draw right away.

What exactly is the backdoor method? Pref. points?

thinair · May 9, 2014

Go here:

http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/DrawResults_PreferencePoints.aspx

Scroll to the bottom of the page to view your current preference points. If it shows 0 for 2014, you have drawn your first choice.

>What exactly is the backdoor method?
>Pref. points?

Like he said below, However if you go to purchase habitat stamps and other licenses online through their website if you scroll to the bottom it will show you all of your applications and codes, if you drew there will be an additional code for the same species. So using the two you can figure out if it was a 1st choice or if it was one of your 2nd/3rd/4th choices.

LAST EDITED ON May-10-14 AT 05:47AM (MST)[p]When do you think elk will be up ?

Devlin · May 10, 2014

No Deer for me either.

txhunter58 · May 10, 2014

Elk drawing is the 16th, so they should be up by the 17th

Buckjunkie · May 10, 2014

1 more point for me too. I put in for an almost sure thing. I don't know if I believe it what is showing right now. Don't loose hope yet.

Trophy_Taker · May 10, 2014

Anyone heard of someone's points going to zero yet? My Dad also put in for what should have been a sure thing and is showing an additional point.

randyh1221gj · May 10, 2014

Deer points went to zero...as expected for 2014.

Serrano · May 10, 2014

My points are now zero also as expected. Ken

m48goat · May 10, 2014

Another point for me! ahhh oh well. i'll wait another year again

tailchasers · May 10, 2014

Not sure wth is up here. My pts went up as expected for 2014, wife shows 0 from 2013 after being put in for a 0 pt unit this year and should have drawn easily, son shows 1 pt for 2014 for the same unit I put his mom in for. Thinking there are some issues going on here with the system.

WVHUNTER · May 10, 2014

Yes, there seems to be something wrong. I applied with 10 points for a unit that only required 3 points last year and it now says that I have 11 points.

darter · May 10, 2014

LAST EDITED ON May-10-14 AT 10:35AM (MST)[p]I had 6 pts going into this year, last year was 100% draw with 6pts 47% with 5 my points now shows 7

ColoradoOak · May 10, 2014

tailchasers,
If you go into the draw with zero points and you are successful, it will not update the preference point totals to 2014. Your wife was successful and your son was unsuccessful.

tailchasers · May 10, 2014

Thank you for the clarification ColoradoOak. Not what I expected so either a pile of new people applied for this unit or tag numbers were reduced which would be ok. Still will make for a great fall season.
