I have 14 points. I wish I had 7, or....24. Theres realistically only a couple of third season hunts I could possibly draw without "wasting" a load of points.

You have a ton of great options, IMO points don't correlate that directly to quality. A 15 point hunt isn't automatically better than a 10 point hunt. Don't think of it as wasting points, or feel like you have to spend exactly 14 to get your money's worth. That's an easy trap to fall into. I look back now at how much I stressed about spending 10 and realize it was silly. FYI I spent them on a 6 point unit and killed a great buck.

Post a pic!  I know using 8 pts was torture a few years ago!!!

Can you just buy points or do you have to buy a license ?

[Ridgerunner]

I've got 4 and am exploring my options.  JJ I cant believe you passed that buck, I would have shot him and yelled so loud you would have heard me back in WA.

You have to buy atleast a small game licsence and habitat stamp to apply for a point if remember right. I think its around $100 for a point.

JJ, some incredible bucks you got on those pics!

I got 8pts built up and am going to try and commit to hunting CO for the first time in 2022. Never hunted out of state before, so I'm excited.

Great for me anyways, average by your standards JJ

Looks like a great buck to me!  Thanks for posting!

Deadline is hours away, I rolled the dice and hope point creep(leap) doesn't bite me. 

[MtnMuley]

I project many hunts will take 4-8 more points to draw, if not more.

I did 0 research and applied for deer elk in some units my brother just moved to. Big time on rolling the dice.

I’ve never spent so much time trying to decide how to use 2 pts!   

Big bucks!
