2024 Big Game!

[Hummer]

Since I'm starting this thread two days before the deadline, I wonder if everyone here is too old and decrepit to go hunting anymore? J/K, but I'll be 3 yrs into my 7th decade and I won't give up until I have to. You have until Tuesday at 8 p.m., to complete the applications online.

I just finished the deer, elk, and pronghorn apps, and will pick up a concurrent bear tag on Aug 6. I mostly hunt NW CO where the big game die off in 2022 has meant dramatic reductions in licenses available. No more OTC, no more two- elk tags available. To deal with point creep, all 1st choice licenses give up and reset preference points, so I'll dump 11 points to hunt bull in 23/24, previously an OTC unit. But, I know and love that country. A $avings for me is that I won't apply for moose again because in 5+ years, I wouldn't want to wrestle a moose again. Plus, the preference point fees takes the fun out of applying for bighorns, goats and moose.

So, post about your hopes and harvests for 2024.

Cheers!
