For sure start applying for the following
Deer
Elk
Pronghorns
Bighorn Sheep
Mountain Goats

I've never bothered applying for moose in CO. When I want to hunt moose, I hunt in Alaska

BTW for deer, elk and pronghorns, stop collecting points and "spend" them when you are somewhere between 4 and 8 points. There are lots of good units where you can draw a buck tag or bull tag with that many points. After that you enter no-mans land because there aren't a lot of units that require more points than 8. I have 18 points for elk and don't want to spend them on a unit that only requires only 4 or 6 points. But the few units that I'm waiting for require 20+ points to draw a tag. I have 3 + 13 for mountain goats and 14 for pronghorns.
