Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I need to figure out how to apply in such a way that I get a preference point and still hunt where I want to. I haven't figured out how to work it yet. Essentially I need to apply in an area that I have no chance in hell of getting for my first choice and then put where I really want to hunt as my second choice right?
sometimes it might work but if your second choice requires a point then you maybe SOL.
What we have been doing is this we like to hunt a specific area, requires a point, we know we can't always get it because of that, so we mix it up like muzzleloader usually doesn't require for cow elk, Bam we get that and 1st choice was point only.
Also our unit borders an open unit so if we don't get any and some do we all camp together and some hunt N side while others hunt south. Hope this helps.
YOUCH $400 total! Dang Bighorn point cost me a ton! other wise I got Deer second season and went for points on everything else, Elk, Antelope, and Bighorn. I will get an over the counter elk in bow season but still put in for points so maybe I can get into a trophy GMU sometime in the next twenty years!!
Don't follow me you won't MAKE IT!
Apply for the point then cross your fingers and go down the morning the leftovers go on sale and ask for a licence for that area. That's what I did last year. I go for points and then just hope to get to hunt my desired area with the leftover.Originally Posted by USMC88-93

DONE. I did the online application. I figured if I waited until Tuesday night the system would crash and I would be screwed. Hope everyone else gets it done.
I went down to the office on Broadway and filled out the paperwork to toss in the box. I will start working in the preference points next year.
When is Moose season I saw this one during 4th season Elk last year.
Just got back from the P.O. made sure that the rider put them in his saddle bags and then watched while he rode towards Denver.
P.S. that ONE ugly dog ya got there USMC
No, I've never hunted the Wet Mountains from this side.
I have hunted the other side in the valley. The San Luis Valley has tons of deer along the Wet mountains on that side. I hunted that when I was in College. Follow the road from the Sand Dunes into the wilderness area along the creek. Tons of deer.
There is deer everywhere around here and in Teller County.
We have a couple dozen deer walk down the property every afternoon-evening.
I hunt right in the office at my desk. I get up and grab the bow when they are close enough to shoot.
My goal is not to have to drive more than 15 minutes to go hunting for any big game species. No goats, bear, moose or sheep though. Sheep and bear are about 20 minutes away. Goats and moose are a good hour plus.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
I think I'm retarded cause I don't understand the point system. I put in for elk then for deer I put 1)pref point 2)buck. If I pull the buck tag does that mean no point? Or was there no point in putting a 2nd choice since I'm only getting a point?
