Colorado Opportunity Elk

[Zim]

Anyone else trying to burn their NR CO elk points before the 2028 system change? I know I need to dump a pile of deer points this year, but I am not sure if I stand to lose much with only 3 elk points. But I’ll apply for an opportunity type hunt and try to get rid of those this year or next on an archery hunt.

I'm in the same boat only a few elk points. I'll probably put in for something I won't draw and hope I get a my second choice tag. As a degenerate tag gambler am excited about the possibly drawing a random tag in Colorado.

I'm holding 9 deer points and hope to draw something this season to start fresh for 2028 but if I don't I'm not going to sweat it. Do I really need another average deer hunt? nope but do I need another trophy deer hunt yes....Point creep has been crazy the last few years, and hope to only chase random tags in the future.

I’m waiting for Zim to make a post that doesn’t contain the words burn, dump or devalue.

With 3 points my opinion is you'd be better off waiting and playing the crap shoot game but that's just me

I decided to utilize my elk points last year for a good opportunity muzzy hunt. I took a tasty raghorn and had a blast doing it in a unit with limited hunting pressure. These days chasing trophy units is out of reach for me, so I’m looking for trophy experiences.

I'll be cashing in my points this year too to go with a group of buddies. Should be a good time. I'm trying to burn all of my points in WY and CO in the coming years.

OK so this is kind of weird. Anyone can type my name in the search bar to view my last 20 posts. I noticed only two out of the 20 that contain those words. But as I look through other folks posts in this Tag/Application category I see everyone using them this time of year. Do I need to copy & paste examples? So what’s your point?

Oh I didn’t consider that. You are right. Hafta take that into consideration. I expect I may reach for 4 point units these next two draws, and not worry about it if I don’t draw.
