Some guys only spend 4k to kill a deer????? My wife wishes she was married to one of those dudes!!
Dude, process it yourself. Put meat in freezer. Await CWD test results. You could rebuild an old mower or something while you wait. After receiving test results you eat it yourself if it’s...
Just my .02 but I couldn’t shoot a cow with a calf. Seen too many mom-less calf elk that just seem lost and run you over when they hear a cow call. I’m sure some survive but when you have one at 20 yards that’s hardly scared of you it tugs at the heartstrings a little bit.
The draw odds might...
X2! With the (very) limited number of hunt codes that take 15+ non-res points to draw Co has a massive “point inflation” problem with non-res elk points.
24 non res points for 2nd-3rd-4th bull tags in 61 is insanity. But those have gotten pushed sky high by guys who feel they have no other...
I’m not saying there aren’t any big bulls in there. There are plenty of good bulls and a handful of great ones. I would love to have a tag but no way I’m saving enough points for it.
What really increases the 3x4 harvest is locals who end up finally drawing and don’t feel the need to spend...
I bet if you took the average of every single bull killed in a year in 61 it wouldn’t be above about 250”. For every legitimate 320”+ that comes out of there at least two 3x4’s and a spikasaurus die.
I agree 100% a person should lose points when they pick up a reissue. But I also think this would be a drop in the bucket when it comes to reducing point creep.
108,188 point only elk apps? Wipe out points if somebody picks up a reissue and eliminate what, maybe .5% of the pool? I’m not sure...
CPW: Hey, rather then burning all these returned tags let’s start a random reissue list where it’s first come first serve!
Hunters: This system isn’t fair! Some guys are more dedicated then me and get all the good tags by refreshing all day!
CPW: Ok, let’s give more youth opportunities by...
I would honestly bet this guy thought he was applying for 201. Look at the code closely and it’s easy to see. He’s got all the right numbers (and that pesky O/0)in all the wrong places. It also wouldn’t surprise me if he’s hunting in 201 this fall completely clueless. Sucks to be him because...
A guy would really have to have luck on his side to pull this off is what I’m saying. As a non res with 10-15 there are certainly some pretty good tags you can draw, not top tier by any means but good enough that I don’t see just throwing in the towel for the off chance your kid scores a 3 point...
I don’t think it’s happening quite like that. For one you don’t gain a point when you turn in, and with todays point creep the last thing you want to do is get further behind.
Look at the demand for tags in the secondary draw recap. If it’s a desirable tag your kids more then likely don’t have...
