Totally agree with this. One thing I do wish we would do to NRs is jack up the NR fishing license cost. It's almost highway robbery what they pay to fish for an entire year here.
Colorado no doubt about it if you ask me. You can draw a number of 1st or 4th season tags with 0 points, or you can hunt quite a few units on an OTC(over the counter) tag for either 2nd or 3rd season.
The info above is assuming you are planning on hunting rifle and not archery.
Is your doubling prediction for the next three years, or are you thinking after the change? I don't know about double, but some units are going to be some pretty big point creep the next three years, but think starting in 2028 we will see some reduction and maybe alot.
I think you are going to see a lot of people with a decent amount of points cashing them in the next 3 years before the split draw goes into effect. Have a feeling you might see some pretty good point creep in the next 3 years due to this. After the split draw takes effect, I think a person is...
Maybe I am wrong, but I thought you got your full refund and your points back if you return a tag currently in CO.
Edit, I just re-read it and you are correct winmag. Has it alwasys been that way? for some reason I thought you got both back.
Still wish they had passed something that would help prevent so many returned tags. Something along the lines of either getting your money or your points back, but not both(unless it was an emergency like WY allows)
Can someone please explain to me how all this is going to reduce the point creep issue that I thought this was supposed to help with. Mainly talking about elk/deer.
In the country with well, and we have very hard water and lots of iron where we are at in central MN. I'm not sure if it helps with the hardness at all, but put in a whole house iron filter(looks kind of like a water softener) and that has seemed to make a big difference in the amount of water...
Maybe I misunderstood the role of this working group, or maybe I am misunderstanding the final recommendations, but I thought part of this was to help reduce point creep. I don't see anything in here that is going to reduce that.
I would look really long and hard at the Savage 110 Ultralite with the Proof barrels. My brother has one in 7PRC, and the things shoots great and is nice and light to carry in the mountains.
● During the surrender period, allow customers to return a license for BOTH a monetary refund and restoration of preference points to the pre-draw level
I was really hoping that the option to return the tag and get both your money and PP back would only be for the approved exceptions.

The draw stats are located here, but looks like the 2024 aren't up yet. You will be able to find the number of tags for LE hunt codes when they are posted
HighDesertSage,
I shot you a message, but not sure if your inbox is full or not. I got a quick question for you about something you posted a few years back
Thanks

This is what really gets me about landowner tags. I still have a hard time understanding why a landowner would get tags that they can sell that don't need to be used exclusively on private land.
I wish we would pull our heads out of our a** and put our time, effort and money into nuclear instead of solar and wind. People hear nuclear and think its horrible, but they don't realize it's the cleanest form of energy there is.
Sure there is. If you are hell bent on not hunting alone and want to go with someone and you want to make sure that you both have a tag it's a benefit. If you are going into the draw not 100% sure you will draw, then I would definitely go as a group instead of individually.
