Tent/sleeping bag help?
Regular, small, free-standing, 3-season tent (Big Agnes, Marmot, Kuiu, etc). Synthetic down bag, slightly warmer than you need (thus lighter) and take an extra down/base layer and sleep in it.- benclimbing

Bear Points - Colorado
I get that they're not managing for quality, but when I checked my bear in last year the officer made it sound like the age and location data was at least used to manage for overpopulation and/or population health.- benclimbing

Bear Points - Colorado
Thanks all. To add some context, for Sept 2023, GMU61 had 200 list B tags while GMU66 only had 65 list A tags. But the CO hunt atlas makes 61 look like the superior unit for overall population. I also realize they're managing for the experience/success of the high-point deer and elk hunters too...- benclimbing

About to burn all my bear points for a September rifle hunt and I've narrowed it down to unit 61 or 66 due to proximity from me and the least amount of tags and other hunters. Which holds better bears, 61 or 66? Any help appreciated!- benclimbing

GMU 521 Archery
The CO hunt planner will tell you exactly how many tags were issued, but they can only tell you roughly how many hunted that unit in previous years because it was otc. No way to know for sure if the numbers will decrease but I'd treat it no differently than any other otc year.- benclimbing

Which is harder: public land archery or public land rifle?
Archery. More fun, but more difficult.- benclimbing
