When do they usually release the tags available in the secondary draw? Is it when the secondary application period opens?

Congratulations. Except your tag didn't go to someone who saved more points. Eff the hybrid draw. Not blaming you for taking advantage of it being offered.

We all better get used to it. 2028 is coming and a LOT of people are going to be really pissed off.

If I were still in the CO PP pool, I'd be plenty pissed. Hybrid is a bandaid on a decapitation, screws over high point holders and doesn't touch the basic problems of point creep.

i mean, not necessarily in a callous way, but i have no pity and couldn't care less.
for many it was a conscious choice to grow old holding out hopes for a tag nobody ever said you were gonna be guaranteed to get. either it was a choice or it was complete ignorance but neither entitles one to anything. i'm not singling you out or saying you're that guy here, so please don't take it that way.
the new split is a bonus anyway, so high point holders still have a degree of preference.
everyone knows you can't fix point creep without just doing away with the points and that ain't never happening. this is just some democratization for the most part.
everyone glazes wyoming for giving everyone a random chance at nearly every tag and then colorado goes the same route and everyone get's their pathetic feelers hurt. i don't get it
i literally can't wait.

It amounts to a CPW preference (pun intended) for low point applicants over those who got in line sooner. I don't fault them for maximizing revenue through points and applications, and they did give some notice this is coming so high point holders could cash out. No phux given about how WY manages their game and licenses, with all kindness and deepest respect. Everyone who pays and gets in line for an opportunity, then enjoys it when the rules are changed to reduce that opportunity, raise your hand. One's perspective depends on whether you gain or lose by this change. I'd be among the losers, and I'd resent it.i mean, not necessarily in a callous way, but i have no pity and couldn't care less.

i think it was more borne of pressure from the hunting public to make some changes to an obviously broken and runaway system rather than CPW making a choice about their preference for applicants.
high point holders can't act like they're the smart ones for choosing to get in line sooner and everyone else missed out for not following suit - being born later isn't a choice and it's a lame reason for basically everyone to see mathematical zero possibility of ever getting some tags. hell, with this change there are high point holders who will actually now have a chance at their chosen glory tag instead of continuing to see it slip away while their body gives out.
i can't decide if i should choose a Buzzism or a Greenhornism for this one.
i think i'll go with sniveling bitches

I begrudgingly agree w you on this point. "You know that you're over the hill,hell, with this change there are high point holders who will actually now have a chance at their chosen glory tag instead of continuing to see it slip away while their body gives out.

I did not realize Colorado had a 25+ unit for pronghorn.
