Colorado Applications are in
- Thread starter NBK
- Start date
Nope - I am not entirely sure where we will hunt this year. We are leaving Nevada open to hunt (if we draw) and X5B is a possibility and the New Mexico elk etc. as well as Arizona possibilities. It is all up in the air. Hoping to make it up to Canada sometime this year as well. We shall see.
Just adding points for deer and elk. Won't be hunting CO this year anyway.
Am I reading it right? $100 for each of the big 3 (sheep, moose, goat) preference points as a NR?

Not sure I understand your question. But if you like hunting big game, it needs to be in your yearly portfolio of applications. It has more elk per square mile than any other state and it is one of the few states (if only) where you can kill a 200" deer in any unit.
APP in, pts only until for now until I figure out what I need to know.
Long learning curve in this hunt game.

With CO pushing the 2nd season one week over the next three years CO is about to get wiped out in bucks.
I have 3 points over there 4 after this year probably should blow them at some point sooner than later. One cool thing is you can get an OTC elk tag in most of the deer units. Youth tags are cheap as well.

We hope not, but it could do some damage. Genetics are still going to be great, just a lot of susceptible dumb ones. Maybe lots of 160's will get shot that people will call 180's.
For what it's worth, you can rifle hunt the eastern plains every year during the rut and they still shoot whoppers. It is mostly private though.
They have made this decision due to the "chronic wasting disease" challenge Colorado is facing. Yep...the deer hunting opportunity will certainly decline moving forward.

I would suggest a D-16 doe hunt (rifle) for the best thing you have ever had in front of you. Spice it up with an archery or muzzleloader draw and make it a once in a lifetime experience you will never forget, let me know if you draw and I'll set you up with the best event you have ever had a chance to draw. Sorry you have to reside in Az due to employment and residence requirements, that sucks... Maybe someday things will get better over there.
I,ll take it!!! Have lifetime license in Ca..and truck ..willing to travel!!
