I’m thinking of giving up on ever drawing a bull moose and using my 20 points on archery cow moose.

The earlier you apply, the longer you can stress out while you wait for the results. Duh.

Nice! I hope he loves it! I took all 3 of my adults sons elk hunting in CO last fall. All are experienced range shooters, but none had ever hunted so much as a squirrel! Came home empty-handed, but missed 1 good and 1 gift-wrapped opportunities.
The best part.... they all are excited to go again!AM.

Other than the dates, school me on understanding doing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Elk season in Colorado? Are some seasons more desirable than others? I'm more interested in a meat vs antler hunt.
From what I understand OTC tags include archery and second and third rifle seasons. Limited licenses (lottery) are needed for muzzleloader, and first & fourth rifle seasons. Is that correct?
Anything else I should be aware of?

Otc you have to choose archery, second, or third. Only good for one season.
Everything else will depend on your desires, goals, points.

Just got the application done. What are the bets that the system crashes on the last day, and they extend the deadline? I'm guessing it's at least 60% odds.
0%, I could be wrong but I don’t remember Colorado system crashing in the last few years.

I thought it crashed last year, or the year before. I could be mistaken.

So I take it you didn’t apply for units in NW CO then. A lot more snow fell and animals died since you submitted your application a month ago. That is the risk to applying at the beginning of the application period instead of the end of it.

Colorado Draw Extended
Just received an email that the Colorado draw is being extended. Sounds like the system crashed from too many people putting in :). Primary draw application deadline extended until Friday, April 9 at 8 p.m. Hunters hoping to draw a big-game license in Colorado in 2021 will now have until...

Be interesting to see how many more ppl applied strictly because they extended the deadline, short of a FOIA I suppose we will never know2 years ago

and even with FOIA i bet it would be hard to tell. i wonder if they would even have the data on all the people that tried to apply but coudlnt and then how many on top of that applied after extension.

So I've unfortunately earned the title of official app helper to my core group of hunting buddies. Anytime there's questions or someone needs help they bring it to me they call me the "rain man" of hunting stats in reverence I assume. Anyway thought I'd share a conversation with my friend this morning. I swear to God two of them always wait till the last day and never remember any step of the process.
