Another “bubba” here as well and, yes, not having to provide Colorado with a short term loan certainly influenced my decision to start this year. (Already was laying out a big chunk of change for Africa this year so would have applied next year). I started applying for sheep, moose, and goat in other states as well, so it wasn’t totally out of character. Want a freaking sheep before I die and need to start getting the points!
Also, I bought the fishing license but noticed that Colorado will force a nonresident to buy one anyway when applying for the premium animals (per a tiny blurb at the bottom).
