I can't get the link fixed so here's the useful part.

Folks, Here is how you use the back-door method to check and see if you've been drawn, before it is time. You can find out if you were drawn, a week or maybe even two, in advance of the official notification.

You go to the DOW website, where it says, "Buy/apply for a license!" or here...
https://www1.co.wildlifelicense.com/start.php

Click on "Start Now."

Fill it out...until you get to the page that has a blue bar at the bottom,
"Big game and Turkey Applications."

Click on it...keep going util you get to:

"Purchase Habitat Stamp and all other licenses." click on that and cross your fingers and hold your breath...

At the bottom of the next page it will show you what you've bought that year, under "Below is a list of products you already have on file."
...a 500 series number (I think) means that you'll be getting something, of that type of license. A 400 series is what you've applied for.

If you applied for a preference point first and then listed another hunt code for 2nd, 3rd and 4th choice, I'm assuming you'll only see a 4xx code, for the points and no indication of if any of the other selections will pan out. Is that correct?

Both my elk and antelope results show 4xx (I applied for points first on both) and at least the antelope should have been drawn as there have been numerous leftover tags the past many years.

I drew a Ranching for Wildlife tag. I guess this is a chance to try out my 264 with 127 Barnes LRX bullets.

My with didn't draw. Damn it!

Just points for me so I'll be shopping the leftovers.

I didn't draw anything, didn't expect to as I only put in for a PP!

However my daughter has drawn her first elk tag a 3rd season cow on her 2nd choice. She also drew bear and plains ML buck tag. I'm going to be busy if she gets her pronghorn tag from grandpa as well. I might have to hire some help this year!

#2 son drew a RFW cow tag for the Kiowa Creek ranch! This is a great hunt- #1 son got his cow last season, mine was 5 yr. ago.

Point for Elk/Deer.
