After next year I will be done with CO rifle hunting. Cant take a week that close to Thanksgiving and 2nd season is a freaking wed-Tues season. Cant split weeks so that season is out.  Very frustrating

This change will definitely upend the points system...those 3rd seasons are like current 4th seasons...so I expect the 3rd season tag I've been after is going to be out of reach now.

The big bucks are gonna take a beating & Colorado quality will suffer in the long run

for the life of me I cant figure out this move. It makes zero sense across the board

[opdinkslayer]

They are getting advice from Washington F&G?🤷‍♂️

My buddy and I have 3 points, planning on CO in 2020. how do you think this will effect the draw next year? Bummer to hear it puts a damper on your plans, you guys have done really well out there Karl

Wasn’t their reasoning for adjusting it to reduce pressure without costing much opportunity? Doesn’t really make sense to move all the pressure closer to the peak rut.

The residents may not like it since there is only one weekend in each season. It’ll be interesting to see if lots of point holders cash out in 2021 3rd season hunts too. Wouldn’t think it would cause too much prolonged creep though

I will have 7 points in ‘21, probably burn those then myself with everyone else.

I thought I saw something about Colorado wanting to kill more buck deer to possibly help control the spread of CWD
I don't know if that is fact though?

[idaho guy]

It’s my fault after years of thinking about it I finally put in and boom they screw up season structure 

[meatwhack]

I wouldn’t say they’re screwed up. The dates are actually better for most of them.

I’ve got 8 pets riding into this new series of dates. Still probably won’t get me the 4th season tag I’ve been chasing, oh well.
