Youth hunts for deer in CO

[dillon]

My brother and I are thinking about burning our Colorado points this year. He has a son has at least one deer point (maybe 2), we have 5 each.

My question is about youth deer tags.

Do the youth have a different applicant pool for non-resident deer tags than adults? Or, do they need to have a bunch of points to draw like adults?

I can find the information on adult tags and how many points it takes to draw on each unit, but I can't find these for the youth tags.

Thank you,

Dillon

Dillon,
Youth set aside licenses are antlerless only. 15% of antlerless tags are made available to youth first. If he is wanting to apply for a buck tag the fact that he is a youth hunter does not help him out in the draw.

Also I'm sure you are aware but if not Colorado does not average group application points it would go with the lowest point total.
Good luck hope you guys can find something that works.

Thanks you. I did know that they don't average points in CO. My brother and I will apply as a group and probably put his son in on his own application. If he does not draw (likely) and we do (likely) we will get him an elk tag.
