Moose, unsuccessful
Deer, first choice buck
Moose cow, drew a third PP. In 2018, I took my once-in-a-lifetime Colorado bull moose six miles from our house. Ate moose steak today.
Mule Deer buck, drew a tag in GMU 21 with 8 PP. This is managed as a quality deer unit in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties along the Utah border. A nice surprise. I never hunted the unit and don't know it well but conducted bird count transects and vegetation surveys there over several years. Lots of deer there so should be an adventure. (They ought to be selling wild horse licenses here too.)
Elk cow and bull, unknown yet but expect to get both tags in the Flat Tops OTC unit that I have hunted for 36 years.
Pronghorn buck or doe, unknown yet but expect to draw this year in NW CO.
Bear, will pick up a concurrent season tag for one of the deer-elk seasons, not decided which unit yet.
Getting juiced up over hunting this year!
I drew my 3rd season buck tag for unit 85. Last year my wife took a nice little spike on opening day. I may see if I can find one a touch bigger, but she was happy and that buck was delicious.
Very cool. I am expecting points in everything but Pronghorn, I should be able to draw my area this year.Originally Posted by Hummer

I've seen moose 2 of the last 4 years while elk hunting in CO. With the new draw fees and estimated draw wait, I'm seriously considering just stopping attempting to draw one here and instead purchasing a guided hunt in an area with good odds to get one. I'm tired of paying to enter the lottery, my knees hurt, and I'd like to just go on a hunt.
Very cool though. The little ones taste better anyway.

Elk point awarded, but I still show as "entered" and no email or anything yet.

Just received my elk email. Unsuccessful, so now now I have 21 points.
Successful for elk. Now to find primers
Sheesh. You applying to shoot one on the governor's lawn while wearing a Trump hat or something? How'd you get 21 elk points? lol.

The ranch I am putting in for takes 25-27 points. I worked up there in the 90s, and the have some amazing bulls. I have seen a couple pushing 400" in the last few years I have taken my mother and wife hunting for cows there.
