Can a CO resident....

.......apply as a non resident? Not sure if I could justify spending $2300 on a cow moose tag, but the draw odds are insanely better if you enter as an NR. Just a thought.

I feel like you’d have explaining to do if you applied for NR moose and R deer, elk, etc in the same year.

Doesn’t really answer your question, but IMO hunting privileges are too important to be playing FAFO games.

*edited to add, I assume false oath is false oath, regardless of which direction you do it.

 

[Bigjay73]

Not something I would do without it being 100% legal, probably not something I would do anyways, was just a shower thought. If anything ot would probably be against regs due to tag allotments being set as R/NR. I could see CPW not wanting residents to use the NR draw as a "special" draw

The first question you’re asked when you login is if you are a resident or nonresident. You’d have to lie to apply as a nonresident.

Are the odds really better? Sheep for example, NR get ~10% of the tags (33 vs 292) and there is half as many NR applying (~12k) as residents (22k). There may be a few exceptions, but odds are significantly lower for a NR than resident.

Moose is worse, and goats are similar to sheep.

I do know what you're saying. I wish we could apply for a NR Kodiak bear tag where odds are 100%, vs 1-3% as a resident.

Cow moose are way better odds. The unit I'm looking at is 11% for an R, 56% for an NR

Oh, gotcha. I'm sure ewe tags are easier to get as well. You can come up to AK and hunt one from the road for the price of airfare and a rental vehicle, or drive up. Odds are lower than a fly-out, but still better than never drawing a tag in CO.

Or come to nz and hunt whatever you wish with no tag application. DIY and the south island is yours for the price of a return flight.

Apply as a party with a nr should put you into that pool

I saw a few bull tags similar. Unit 7 bull has double the odds for nonresident over residents. Maybe I'll have to spend a few years living across the border to to draw moose haha

Maybe delete the unit number… or watch what you wrote change rather quickly.

So multiple reasons to move ...

Can you rifle hunt or just archery?

 

[Bambistew]

Can you rifle hunt or just archery?

What ever you want. It's OTC. Some areas have different antler restrictions for NR, but it's still OTC.

 

[Desk Pop]

That's not really any different than a NR lying and applying as a R for better odds...
