I'll have 27 NR Points for CO Elk after the points are awarded this year. What rifle hunt would you choose if you were me?

The one I'd researched for 27 years.
Unit 2, 10 or 201 ... you'll get good arguments for any of them.
I hear they're all good units. But believe it or not...I don't think I can draw with "only" 27 NR points.
Amazing that you stuck in there this long without burning them. You sir are a patient man.
Yeah, I see the problem now. You're right on the bubble. Last year there were 58 ahead of you, of which 10 drew. At that rate you're still not eligible for another 5 years, and then its a 1/10 random chance, assuming everyone is applying, between everyone at your level.
EE061E1R is quickly reaching your point level, too.
Or a fool!
When I started this chase it only took 7 NR points. But they've changed the formula about 3 times since. AND..one year I missed the deadline when they move the app date up by about a month. I just left the envelope unopened for a few weeks. When I finally got around to opening it the app date had already passed!!! That one still smarts when I think about it. Damn it!
Yes...you now see my dilemma.
Is 61 really that good of a unit? How about 76 also?
Points go to zero when you draw first choice tags.I'd do guaranteed draw 9 pt hunts for the next three years. A hunt is an experience, not a location. So go experience it.
Have you ever thought about hunting with a muzzleloader? You have plenty of time to get everything dialed in and practice a bunch. The muzzleloader hunt in 201 would be an awesome experience. My dad hunted it this past year for cows. He had more than one nice bull within muzzleloader range. That’s what I’d do if I were you. Only 9 other bull tag holders in the entire unit with you!
What Vanish said above^^. And please don't waste your points on 76. It's good, but the bulls in 76 that can be found in units that require way less points to draw. They are just logistically harder to get to. One of the best parts of 76 is that you are getting an "unpressured" hunt experience in 76. Thats what people are paying for by waiting.Yes...you now see my dilemma.
