I decided to apply for CO deer with my 3 points. I'll be 70 yrs in July so I don't have the time to wait much longer to draw. I received some good info from a CO resident and a friend that hunts CO often but I'd like to run this by some of you that hunt CO.
Here are some of the areas I'm thinking about and before I get flamed for asking so late you don'y need to tell me S if you don't want to. I can give you WY antelope info in exchange
Area 161 3rd season, Area 6 2nd season, area 52 3rd season, area 54 2nd season and area 61/84 3rd season. If any of you have hunted these areas and want to share some info it will be appreciated.
Thank You
-
I haven’t hunted any of those areas but hopefully someone will have some insight for you. Let me know if you want me to look up your draw odds on those tags if you don’t have that info. Good luck to you this year
-
Thanks I have the draw info. I only have 66% chance to draw area 69 rd season the others are dame near 100 %
The CO starts are a bit hard to figure out at first. I hunted area 551 about 4 years ago and missed one year of buying points. I hope to draw this year and maybe WY antelope
-
I’d be wary of 6 and 161, don’t let the stats fool you, an easy draw with good harvest rates and very low tag numbers says something is up to me. If I had to guess I’d say most of those bucks are being killed on private in that neck of the woods. Unless your friend has some local knowledge then that may be a different story. Just my :twocents:
-
Thanks MT I'll discuss that with my friend
-
52 3rd
-
JJ have you hunted 52 3rd before?
My phone # is 425-775-6480 or PM me. I'd like to get your take on that unit.

Just points this year.

Just points this year.
You and everybody else. Point creep is going to be absurd next year
-
Headed that way this Fall hopefully for the first time. We shouldnt have any problem drawing the unit we put in for
-
results this week right?
-
results this week right?
yes. You'll see card hits before results so keep an eye on your bank account or just wait for the annoyed phone call from your wife :chuckle:
-
Good luck
-
Word on the street is cards are getting hit for bear. I believe last year it went bear, antelope, deer, then elk.
-
Nice! Going in with 3 points for a 2nd season tag i "should" draw
-
Anyone getting hit for deer yet?
-
Nothin for me yet.
-
I'm shocked and annoyed there's been zero draw activity from them today.
-
I am waiting patiently.........
Good luck to all that applied.
-
Looks like moose has been hitting cards today
-
Moose results were out yesterday.
No Colorado moose for me.

Card hit for deer! Round 2 for my group in Colorado

At this point is there any way to determine if you drew 1st choice?

My hunting pard drew an early HC rifle tag. Now I gotta go from there straight to Western Wyoming. My legs are already sore.
Two weeks of high country mule deer - can’t wait!
-
That would be fun
-
Heck ya, 3rd season deer for me!
Good luck to all!!!!

Gambled on second season and drew.. Unit 44. Need mother nature to dump an early snow this fall please. Takes 22 points to draw third season so seemed like a good gamble for our 9 points..will see been wrong before..

Cool, congrats man. Let us know how that goes. I really hope you get weather.

Somehow didn't get drawn for my 4th season tag. If it had been last year I 100% would have got it. Damn, was planning on that one!
-
POint creep in Colorado will be bad this year and worse next was part of my logic ..
-
Fricken point creep. I didn’t draw my 2nd choice tag (1st choice was points) that should have been an easy draw, as it fell all the way down to 4th choice last year. CO needs to fix this ASAP. I talked to the State today and the guy said they had a record number of applications. Time to make it cost more to apply to get ahold of the point creep. Rumor is almost 100,000 more people applied this year.
-
At least you got your first choice :tup:
:sry:

🤣🤣. The thing that hurts the most is we were busting my buddies balls because he screwed up his entry and put our particular hunt code as his first choice with 2 points. We were like “dumb @as” you can draw that unit 2nd choice. Well guess who drew a tag and who didn’t! 🤬😀. Now he wants to meet for beers tomorrow at a local brew pub. I hope they serve crow medium rare! 🤣🤣

WHY WOULD ANYONE EBER SUGGEST THAT this sport and heritage survives when people, families , and friends can afford it. Pushing it further and further to the unaffordable for some people just cause your mad you didn't draw the reasoning makes zero sense if you care for hunting to keep moving forward for all people

Anyone who didn't plan for point creep this year hasn't been paying attention. Massive influx of new applicants 2 years ago because it was SUPER CHEAP left a lot of folks wanting to get out. What better time than when the season sets back a week. You'll have another tough draw year next season and then you'll see a massive correction as folks burn and get out. Most people go to these low or no point units and get their butts handed to them and don't come back. I've seen it year after year. People need to be thinking ahead more than just the current year. If you want tags you need to learn the game and how to play it :twocents:

Everyone planned for a little creep, but even the hunt planner said he’d never seen that kind of jump. The rumor is 100,000 more people applied this year than last year, so there won’t be a correction any time soon. I live in CO, and a bunch of my buddies and people I know are getting hammered this year...... It will be interesting to see what the Pronghorn unit I’ve been saving for looks like after all this. It typically takes 4 years to draw, so next year would be my year. Might be a few more years at this rate.

After going against Karl's advice I put in and drew!!!!
Another preference point!!
Congrats on your draw Scott.
I will do a snow dance when no one is looking of course.

:yike: congrats? :chuckle:

I anticipated for a 3 point creep in the unit I applied for. Turns out it was at least 4.
-

Exactly. We did points this year and should be able to easily draw our tag next0 with those dates.

One of my bosses drew 58/581

All is good in the world. Guys waited until the last minute to login today, only to find there was a 10+ minute wait just to login. I played it safe ant got my deer tag, but I’m kind of wishing I tried for the 1 remaining pronghorn tag I’ve been eyeing as well. Guess I’ll be eyeing the leftover list the next two months.
