The wait for tags

[hunterhawk]

There used to be a "backdoor" method of checking to see if you drew your tags or not.. since they do it differently now, i think the only way to check is to check your preference points.. does anyone remember when those start hitting for elk/deer/bear. I believe it was some tome mid to end of may last year but couldn't remember.

On a side note why is Colorado so freaking slow at getting this info out. Almost all other surrounding states are a lot faster.

Just antsy and need something to look forward to!

maybe check your credit card activity to see if there are any charges relating to CDOW?

I don't even look for the backdoor method these days. I just wait for the tag to arrive, or a notice telling me I didn't draw. Of course if I were putting in for any of the really hard to draw tags, Moose, sheep, goat, etc., I might be chompin' at the bit a little more than normal. I usually do put in for moose, but skipped it this year since my freezer is, well, still full of moose.

Why the state is so slow on getting results out is a mystery. Maybe it's because the system is so dang complicated, IDK.

I thought this was going to be about how it took them almost 2 months to send out fishing licenses.

But for the draw, June 1 is a long way out still. I don't check early anymore either.

My assumption is I'll not draw elk, and then draw the most inconvenient tag possible (pronghorn) that I threw against the wall to see if it sticks.

There is no backdoor way to tell anymore that I know of. Your card is charged when they send the email telling you what you have, and I don?t think they update their system anymore until that time. You have to wait till the first week of June for the emails.

I know I got preference points for a couple species because that’s what I put in for!

As far as draw results you just have to wait

[hunterhawk]

My buddy who is a non res drew a bear tag and got an email... nothing for me so far... but at least its started.

[sniper7]

Yep bear is the only thing I’ve got results for as well

Points for bear, which is what I applied for.

Didn't draw moose.
