I have to agree with you. I don't feel like anything needs to change. Those of us that have been playing this point game for 20+ years understand you're probably only going to get a 61 or 76 bull elk tag as a NR once in your life time. Those just getting into the system don't feel they should...
I've got 17 NR LE Bull points, 10 LE deer and 4 General deer points. Was wanting to try to burn my LE elk points on an archery hunt this year, but my dad should draw a couple tags in Colorado, and the timing was just bad this year. Put in for premium elk and deer tags, so I'm hoping for a random...
I'll be the guy who waits until the last day to apply this year. New Mexico results come out 4/26 and Utah deadline is 4/27. Hoping for no system crash when I apply!
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.
Last year I burned 23 NR points for a 66 3rd rifle tag. I saw lots of bucks, but no really mature bucks, not the experience I was hoping for. Just didn't get the weather to really push the deer down and make them more concentrated. I personally will never try to save that many points again...
I applied for an archery elk hunt, but I'm 2 points short of last year's points required, so really just applied for a point. Burned all my deer points last year, so just starting to build again.
Going from 80 to 85% let off on bows is a long ways from a cross bow. Many newer bows are sold with 85% let off, and you have to purchase a separate cam or "mod" on the cam to meet the 80% rule for Colorado.
4th rifle was a 2 point creep where I applied last year, and the # of tags were cut, so I didn't draw. 3rd and 4th seasons are going to be crazy this year with the season dates. I'd have a plan B if I were you. 3rd season this year is what 4th season dates were last year. I'm going to apply...
I agree completely. I was looking to buy a Tacoma, drove one, and wasn't impressed. Not much power, minimal towing capacity, and really poor mpg for a truck that size. I drove all the midsize and 1/2 ton full size trucks on the market. I ended up buying a Ram 1500 4x4. Very comfortable, tons...
Yes it's amazing how fast they go. Another thing that frustrates me is the archery tags showing up today, 9 days after season has started. If they have to be turned in 30 days before season, there's no reason it should take that long to show up on the list.
