points in co

[bigbuck1002000]

just a question for you colorado guys. my dad and I have 8 nr muledeer points in co. Are the units that take 12-14 pt's really worth the wait, or should we burn our points now and start building them up again. I hate to wait too long, but I also want to have a good experience. thanks!

Eight points is plenty. You should have no problem finding a "good" hunt. You can kill a monster in most any unit. Those premium 4th season hunts are just not worth the wait. Nothing is a "gimme'" in those late season hunts or any hunt that takes alot of points. I take it you're hunting some other place while you wait? Guess it depends on what you are after in a hunt.

Those units that take 12-14 pts now will take more than that by the time you get that many. If you wait for one of those units, you will be waiting a long time!

I agree, if you want to hunt use them and start again. I never get my deer point total higher than 1 and have great hunts.
If you are in the situation where you really cannot hunt due to other tags or reasons keep collecting the points then.

Hunt a unit that you like within the next year or two with your current points. Then pick a unit to start learning that you can draw ever couple years and hunt more often. That is my plan.

Thanks for the input from you guys. It's easy to get caught up in this points game, and miss out on a lot of good hunting

Just saw this thread. Sorry I didn't respond sooner.

I hope that you burned 'em. Me and a buddy spent out 9 NR points last year on GMU #21. To me...it was not worth the wait.

Again, I hope you burned 'em.

I hope he burned his points too. I couldn't agree more with RMANWILL's advice.
