Title: Colorado results
Post by: Miles on June 03, 2018, 08:49:34 AM
Results are scheduled for this week.  Good luck to those who applied.  I’ve got a feeling we are going to need a little luck on our side with the significant increase in apps.

I'd be nice if it were Monday but I'm not holding my breath for anything before Friday.  4th season bound for me.

I’m in for 3rd season again.  If I draw, I’m hoping for some snow and a repeat of last year.

Is today the day we finally find out ? With 8000 new applicant point creep and people burning point going to make it a tough draw year

New applicants will have no effect on applicants who currently have points.  Unless it's a second choice tag or a 0 point unit.  Beauty of a preference point state.  Sounds like it's started, I'm seeing chatter.

  nothing has changed with their draw system as far as how tags are awarded anyways.  It's a preference point system.  If I have 4 points and you have 0, then you cannot draw a tag before I do for a first choice permit.  Second choice hunts don't use points.
Title: Re: Colorado results
Post by: Cougeyes on June 04, 2018, 09:37:19 AM
I get that and really like that system. I was referring to the change in the monetary cost associated with applying which has driven up the number of applicants. 100% draw odds last several years if you put in for a 0 point unit as your first choice may not be 100% draw odds this year which is where i'm at.

ah gotcha.  Yeah I agree.  Though I don't think it's near as doom and gloom as others.  I know about a dozen people who jumped into CO this year juat because it was cheap but every one of them juat did points because they have no clue how to tackle a hunt.  There will be big ramifications in the near future though.  That is certain.

Ya I’m nervous, we’ve drawn our tags every year but once for the last 20 years with no points. We will see how much this change hurts us...

that will be heart breaking if it creeps.  I'm in the same boat but we draw on a second choice.  I'm burning on a 4th season this year though
Title: Re: Colorado results
Post by: jjhunter on June 04, 2018, 11:28:13 AM
I wouldn't lose hope if you don't draw initially.  My guess is that there is a jump in the number of returned tags this year.

You shoot some nice bucks for a 2nd choice draw.

Now where are those elk results?
Title: Re: Colorado results

I’m going to need some luck according to that, 265 people applied and 165 drew with 0 points.. ugh.

Thanks!  Same unit group but most likely a different area.  This year will be the earliest dates before the reset.  It would be nice to find one in velvet.

It’s weird that bobcats post shows up as a link but I couldn’t click my way to it from the fwp website. It seems to be legit info but they haven’t published it yet maybe.
Title: Re: Colorado results
Post by: bobcat on June 04, 2018, 07:05:57 PM
It's kind of a back door way in to the draw results. Someone just changed the "7" in the address from the 2017 results to an "8" You can do it with other species as well. Except elk is what I have read.

Title: Re: Colorado results

"Not Awarded" for elk for me. Also got a $40 cc charge I assume for a preference point. Must of got bit by the point creep bug. Last year I would have drew if there was one more tag. I reapplied this year for the same unit & no go.  :dunno:

My group drew both deer and elk for 3rd season in the same zone.  My wife drew a 4th season cow tag for the Gunnison area.   

Now waiting on Wyoming deer and Maine moose.   I've got a good feeling a good buddy of mine is going to pull his Maine moose tag this year.

Same here, my odds dropped almost 15% this year.   It’s going to get ugly one of these upcoming years.

Post by: cem3434 on June 06, 2018, 10:48:51 PM
I somehow managed to mistakenly draw a 3rd season OTC bull tag. I was awarded my preference point but got a hit on my CC for $661. I must have inadvertently checked a box when applying and they must have automatically awarded me the OTC tag. I'm already fishing in Mexico in September, hunting antelope in Wyoming in October and pheasant hunting in South Dakota in November, so my fall is pretty booked already not to mention the OIL tag I'm going to pull here. :chuckle: Anyways how does the refund process work as Colorado doesn't fit in this year's plans for me?
Title: Re: Colorado results
Post by: Miles on June 07, 2018, 03:16:29 AM
Just go to their website for instructions, but I think it’s fairly easy to return a tag.
