Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Best Colorado Unit For Moose?

I have 3 preference points and 10 weighted points for moose.
What is the best unit to use these points in?

Not the one where I've been applying.......

I know that feeling LOL

I think you got a ways to go.Mine took 16 years .Some say the Rio Grand headwaters, 71 or 77, Ithink

There's not enough difference in average moose antler sizes in Colorado so I go for the units with better draw odds

Good luck. I've been applying since the 1st hunt. Never have drawn a tag. I have 3 plus 16 weighted points. As far as units-----some say 6 or 171 those are up around Walden. Some say 28, I think that around Grand Lake. Some say the Grand Mesa over by Grand Jct. And still others say unit 76, that's around Lake city. Everyone has long odds. Just apply & hope your number comes up.

PG,

Units 7&8 have a lot for moose especially in the North end. The drainage's near Cameron pass have lot of moose as well

But if you check the odds in those units, they're not very good.

For a bull moose there is nothing but Long Odds. Too many applicants & too few licenses. It's a little different for a cow moose---but I've been applying for 20+ years, I'm not going to apply for a cow after that many years.

Yep, When I drew mine ,I had a 1/2 % chance of drawing one of two tags and that was a cow

I got my moose refund in today's mail. I've got 3 points + 17 weighted points. Pumpgun, all I can say is keep applying & hope for the best.

When the clock is ticking and you maybe have1-3 years left in you to hunt, you might rethink that. I already had t stop applying for sheep and goat. Goat after 25 + years. I had sheep tag in 95, I could never draw another after applying for 16 years after th5 year wait.

If you want a serious moose then it matters a little as big ones do come from certain units, but generally any moose tag is one that can produce a decent bull with effort, go for better odds in a unit you can handle physically... I'v drawn 5 goat and 3 sheep tags but can't get a low number for moosies, though my wife has drawn 2. Just got the refund yesterday, damn it!
