Hunted this one several days (archery) before
I shot this one, "after"
This year I'm just aiming to burn my elk points on a 1st rifle hunt, should draw unless point creep is >3. And I guess I'll have 1% chance at a sheep tag.

One issue is that they haven't even set the quotas yet for Elk, Deer, Pronghorn or Moose in CO. May 1, 2 commission meeting they finalize the quotas. So about a 20-25 day turnaround after that. If you look at the Sheep and Goat draw, they turn that around in 2 weeks from the deadline. So not bad if you look at it that way. I wish they would just make the app deadline late April so I will know my NM results before applying. haha
Wyoming is pretty fast except for NR Elk. That one makes no sense at all unless I'm missing a legit reason for that long a wait.

There is and @JM77 and I were the reason it changed. Outfitters wanted to cut the application deadline to January 31.
Our reason for pushing the draw date back was so the GF could get previous years harvest data, complete classifications, and also so the tag splits were correct based on commission approved quotas. Another benefit to NR hunters is, they were able to apply for any new hunts approved by the commission in April. Prior to our pushing this, any new areas/hunts approved were 100% going to residents the first year.
As to the outfitters cutting off the application deadline, talk to them about it. We didn't want it, but they convinced the commission, there it is.

After talking with my buddy about the cost of a guided hunt, and booking it a year in advance with a 50% deposit he changed his mind real quick. Now planning a diy hunt wich is what I've been trying to talk him into all along.
Whoa, it looks like neither one of you came out of that fight unscathed.

Man that middle buck looks good too. Hard choice. In all seriousness, pretty cool pic.

was going to post on this thread and realize the only before and after hunting pics I have, are of when my tent shanked me. So you'll have to wait for next year to see the mega buck and bull I harvest this year
