Question for the experts

In unit 66 and 44 the 4th season non-resident deer quota is capped at 20%.
For those units third seasons the cap Is 35%.

At what point or what triggers the nonresident cap drop from 35% to 20%?

 

[fallguy]

6 or more points - up to 20% NR
fewer than 6 points - up to 35% NR

I believe the points are based on resident points. If a unit takes more than 6 resident points, it's capped at 20%.

Six points when?
For the past few years those 3rd season hunts have taken a lot more than six points for residents to draw.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

Then they would be capped at 20%, too.

And notice how it says "up to 20%". I believe Colorado also factors in resident vs nonresident demand.

They haven't updated the splits with point requirements for a number of years. That's why the newest initiative has been brought to the table

Wow so that rule was taken from the three year average ending in 2009?
Lots has changed since then!

Thanks guys for answering my question!
