Because of their descent into putrid liberalism, I have passed on almost all species. I am going to build points for mule deer only.

Are you really putting in Bobcat or just trying to stir the pot as usual?

Yes of course I am. Why wouldn't I? I looked up harvest numbers and you just can't beat Colorado. Elk harvest in 2011 was 43,000. Compare that to Washington's 4,800 elk harvested in 2011. Even Wyoming, which many consider to be one of the best states, only had 22,000 elk harvested, so about half of what was taken in Colorado. I'm definitely going to begin building Colorado points. I see myself spending a lot of time there after I retire. But until then, it's hard to justify the travel time, when I can hunt states that are much closer like Idaho and Oregon.

Compare that to Washington's 4,800 elk harvested in 2011.General harvest. Total was over 7,200. But yes, their numbers are much higher. But also consider the competition for them. Colorado is 'known' to be one of the good elk states, and it is the closest elk state to the South; so you get lots of out of staters from there. NM and CO get masses of hunters from Texas like Eastern WA gets wetsiders.

Luckily southerners don't know that you can walk and hunt at the same time :chuckle:Compare that to Washington's 4,800 elk harvested in 2011.General harvest. Total was over 7,200.
