My usual Deer spot and PP for Elk

 

[fallguy]

I applied for 6 species but the only one I expect to draw is deer - GMU 67, 4th season. Looking forward to spending some time over there and getting to know it a bit. At my age, this is a one-and-done hunt.

 

[Phantom Hunter]

Hoping to burn points on 2nd season unit 61 elk, points only for the rest

 

[WARidgerunner]

just desert sheep, points only for everything else

 

[FrontRange]

Good luck everybody!

[ReinerDude]

PP for deer and elk, hopefully cash in for deer next year

 

[tailchasers]

Unit 201 rifle bull, unit 44 4th season deer, and unit 201 antelope. Won't draw a dam one of them but it sure does feel good applying for them. Will likely draw some second choices.

 

[ciller160]

2nd season in 21. Should be chasing 150” bucks on Halloween. Hahahahaha.

 

[DW]

My usual Deer, Elk, Antelope, Moose, Sheep, Goat, and a bear pp to add to my total!

 

[The_Coloradoboy]

Figured I’d just send it this year. 25 resident points on unit 18 second season deer. Hush boys are gonna put me on a yuggge one.

 

[SanJuan]

The usual archery deer (~50% draw odds); points for elk; 3, 301 antelope (should draw); early rifle bear (should draw); 76 bull moose; G5 archery and sheep points because I only have two after my waiting period from killing a ram.

 

[SlinginLead]

18 NR points now for Deer & Elk, 11 points for Antelope.
Cash in the Deer next year.

 

[jdmaxwell]

76 archery elk, probably not draw.
78 mule deer archery which I will get.

 

[12pointer]

PP for elk, unit 62 muzzleloader deer with 7 points.

 

[steinernm]

Unit 61 4th season Bull with 9 points. Should draw! Fingers crossed.

Bear tag in my usual spot for September
Also put in for goat in unit 16 and it will be a miracle if I draw with 3 points

 

[Gunnihunter]

Muzzle loader elk with 2 points, slight chance.
Unit 67 4th season deer with one point, wonder if I’ll draw?

 

[oldmossback]

Unit 76 1st rifle bull for me. I should draw it for sure because i got the call as next in line last year and turned it down.

 

[DryCreek85]

Unit 1 archery elk with 14 points, unit 62 archery deer with 2, unit 54 archery bighorn sheep with 14, unit 1/14 Mountain Goat archery with 10, unit 67 moose with 7, and PP for bear and antelope. Should only draw 62 deer. ?‍

 

[Downrange]

Unit 52 3rd season deer , never been there but what the hell. I just want to hunt ha

 

[Padfoot]

67 archery elk and deer for us, on the cusp so no guaranteed tag.

 

[Buffs35]

Eastern plains muley late rifle
Eastern plains speedgoat muzzy
NW corner elk muzzy

Hope I get 1 tag, 2 would make my year.

 

[khunter]

Unit 76 1st rifle bull for me. I should draw it for sure because i got the call as next in line last year and turned it down.

my buddy thanks you, he killed a whopper when the tag hit reissue list.

 

[elks96]

I have cousin who wanted out of the points and applied for 3rd season 22... I tried talking him out of it, but he just wanted out of Colorado points.

I was stupid and bought points, maybe someday I will go back to Colorado, but not too excited about it...

 

[elks96]

Bought my son pref points on 3 species, I didn't even apply for anything in Colorado

Cant blame you. I am buying points for my kids, only with the hope that something might get better for them...

 

[elks96]

Unit 40 rifle deer 3rd season (should draw)

201 Muzzleloader elk. Looking for a miracle tag from the hybrid draw

Moose and bear points.

Good luck everybody!

Are you a resident?

 

[pwrlineman]

67 3rd season deer.

 

[Utah400Elk]

Not a CO resident anymore.

 

[1989Cohunter]

Hybrid muzzy 61 elk will not draw
521 archery deer should draw
6 cow moose goin In with one weighted point so who knows
Sheep and goat just points

 

[elks96]

Not a CO resident anymore.

I am pretty certain it is physically impossible for a NR to draw a hybrid tag. Since NR tags are limited to a %, that percent is consumed in the draw, and thus no room left for the random.

 

[Utah400Elk]

Probably...It was an impossible draw anyway. Just looking for the point.

 

[SDBugler]

I pulled out of the sheep and mountain goat points game for myself and my three sons. $100/point for 4 of us was getting too steep for the minimal NR draw odds.

Just deer and elk points for two of my sons that are still in college. (one is at 14 points for both and the other at 9 points for both - can't wait until they are done with college!!)

Other son did point for elk (at 12 points he is still a few years away from unit 76 archery) and applied for 54 3rd season deer with 12 points.

I just did an elk point for myself and applied for 75/751 2nd season deer with 0 points. (just want to guarantee having a tag in my pocket in case the draw gods frown on us for the rest of the states.

 

[nripepi]

I pulled out of the sheep and mountain goat points game for myself and my three sons. $100/point for 4 of us was getting too steep for the minimal NR draw

Couldn't you all apply for a tag and not spend the $100 on points...assuming you all have 3 points already?

 

[sticksender]

Archery elk, 14 points should be just enough to draw.
Points only for deer & pronghorn.
Sheep/Moose/Goat....pipe dream apps.

 

[Thomas11]

It is 100% impossible w the exception of antelope

 

[SDBugler]

We don't have the 3 minimum points to even get into the draw. I did draw a goat tag back in 2011. Drew it with only one point!!! Very few people were applying for that unit because the herd size was so small so I gambled and jumped into the system and there weren't enough people in the 3+ point pool so I was next in line. Now that unit is just as full of applicants as the others. It pays to look into less desirable tags sometimes!!!

 

[khunter]

anybody with at least 3 points for sheep, goat, or moose, was, IMO, crazy to put in for points only.

The huge swell of new applicants after they took away full tag fee payment to apply have only 2 points this year. Next year bad odds will become horrendous when those many thousands of fair weather applicants put in with 3 points.

Thoughts on that?

I am in for my 4th archery moose tag in Colo, SE plains archery deer, desert sheep since I killd a rocky last year, Mt. Goat G10, Elk points with plan to hunt a reissue tag, same for pronghorn.

Drawing 4 desert sheep tags in 4 states is gonna be a lot of pressure for me this year.

 

[swampokie]

Im in for 32 3rd deer and points for bear , elk , Pronghorn, and a fair weather 3rd point on bighorn.

 

[BRUIN4L]

Deer and elk PP. 17 NR for both

 

[Sako76]

1st rifle season elk, Unit 12 PLO, should draw.

 

[hs156]

archery plains deer (110) will draw, pp for elk will buy archery voucher

 

[stackem]

Points was it. Trying a couple of other hunts this year

 

[COPLAINSHNTR]

61 First Rifle Bull - 12 Points
101 Whitetail Only E/S- 0 Points
PP For Pronghorn
S65 Sheep- 3reg 9 weighted
G16 2nd -3reg 4 weighted
PP For Bear
06 Cow Moose - 3reg 3 weighted (did not buy another point)

 

[Plumber333]

Unit 40- 2nd season rifle bull tag with 20 NR points here (I better draw)! Points only for everything else.

 

[Butts]

Figured I’d just send it this year. 25 resident points on unit 18 second season deer. Hush boys are gonna put me on a yuggge one.

The HUSH crew will not let you down!!!!!

 

[Bluehair]

Hey, I see a couple of you mentioned that applications are up (I think someone said 20%!) this year. Is there a link to that somewhere? Thanks.

This is the CPW steamboat springs Facebook page. Scroll down and they post statewide numbers and answer some questions in the comments

 

[Bluehair]

Thx tx. I saw the post with the raw application numbers that show roughly 10% increase (which still surprises me!). Do they break it down further, like how many of those are pp's? I'm not a facebook guy so don't know if there is somewhere I click to chase it further.

 

[txhunter58]

Click on Comments tab on the post about the statewide numbers.

 

[1989Cohunter]

Dang that’s crazy. Well I’m sure I’ll draw all by tags...

 

[BeanMan]

Elk, Deer, Moose, and Pronghorn.

 

[264mag]

nonresident 13 points Unit 53 3rd season

 

[264mag]

nonresident 13 points Unit 53 3rd season

Deer

 

[norby]

Deer 21 3rd.

 

[BigChiefJ]

Points and trying for leftover deer and pronghorn.

 

[pjs78]

Son and I each have 22 elk points and 3 deer points, just points this
year.

 

[Stevo]

Deer 67 4th season.
Elk PP.
Good luck to everyone in the draw!

 

[Stevo]

I applied for 6 species but the only one I expect to draw is deer - GMU 67, 4th season. Looking forward to spending some time over there and getting to know it a bit. At my age, this is a one-and-done hunt.

I applied for the same tag. Definitely gonna be a 1 and done for me as well because I'm not going to accumulate that many points again.

 

[Danny_Ocean]

Looking for my 3rd RM Goat tag, and I'd rather draw a bull moose than a Desert Ram, both long odds. I will have two deer and this is the year to kill bears, I'm going full in on them.

 

[COZY25]

Fully intended on burning CO points this year, until I found out I have twins on the way coming in October.. Kinda changed my plans for this year.

Looking forward to next year and hopefully a couple bucks make it through this year and hoping for a mild winter next year ?

 

[Duckdon83]

WOW Twins!! Congrats COZY25!

 

[rmanwill]

Congrats on the twins. You have some awesome times ahead. My twins are now 24, but still hunt together every fall.

 

[COZY25]

Congrats on the twins. You have some awesome times ahead. My twins are now 24, but still hunt together every fall.

Thanks guys, lots of good times to look forward two. We don't know what we are having yet but I will be happy with two more hunting buddies regardless.

 

[ICMDEER]

Just plains deer in the SE corner. I don't even remember the area. But I might draw. I'm back to only 1 point, so not counting on much.

 

[Rodzilla_v]

Should draw Unit 3 antelope with 10 points/time to cash in; Points on deer/Elk. If anyone else draws 3 for lopes, would love to touch base.

 

[Rodzilla_v]

Deer 21 3rd.

Good luck, next year I am looking into this unit to cash in my deer points likely 2nd with 12 points. Tired of hoarding points.

 

[kalielkslayer]

Deer-65 early with 13. 12 points was 40% successful last year so I think I'm short one.
Elk-Unit 3, 1st rifle. I have 6 points but my partner, who I want to see kill his first bull, only has one. And they changed this hunt to ES so 1 may not be enough.

 

[SureShot]

It looks to me like 65 Early Rifle was 50% with 10 points last year. You should have a really good chance.

 

[Jenks]

54 2nd. 2pts .chance?

 

[lostinOregon]

jenks, i would say good

 

[SureShot]

54 2nd. 2pts .chance?

Resident or non-resident? Last year, it took 3 points for non-residents to have a chance. There are more tags allocated this year, so there's a chance it might go down. But, I suspect more people than average will be wanting to hunt this year while the getting is good...

 

[lostinOregon]

it was 74 percent last year for 54 2nd with 1 point, non resident. Not sure where the 3 points came from.

Rich

 

[SureShot]

You're right. My bad. I was looking at the MZ row.

 

[Jenks]

Nonresident.

 

[coloradoman]

40 buck tag... won’t draw
61 cow tag... will draw 2
