my partner didn't draw but I did. Is the draw over for elk or does he still have a chance?

Did not draw my GMU 063 deer archery with 2 preference points. I thought it would be a gimme. As I recall, last year everyone with 2 preference points and some with 1 got picked. Quota must have went down or a lot more people applied. Have to wait and see statistics.Tom

When you see the stats of the number of applicants this year because of not having to pay for the entire license fee,you are going to choke. I think the days of drawing with 0 or 1 point are gone

Nice bud - BH 209 and Barnes! No Barnes in CO.... full bore only. She’s killed does the past two seasons with PowerBelts, they seem to run well in front of BH209 in the TC Triumph. Daughter and I will have MZ buck tags during that season/unit too.... something is getting a .50 cal hole in it.

seems like a lot more out of state guys Drew with 0 pts this year than in state guys....
At 10x the money per tag.... that smells a little fishy...

No deer tags for me and the boy, maybe we’ll get another shot on the leftover draw.

The whole famdamily drew MZ tags.... bulls for the wife and I, cows for the kids. I guess I better start shopping for a couple more smokepoles. That’s very cool and a lot of work for the Doggy! CO, is like OR..No Sabots..No breach load; all muzzle stuff’n. No scopes, Aimpoint, Red dots...Just open sights...Once you acquire 7 smokepoles, you gotta hang some pictures of your fun, playing with your dragon poles...You dropping the Ninja gear for skins and a possum hat? Chop, chop, Dog, you got a lot to do...including buying another freezer...Good problem to have...😎

I think the days of drawing with 0 or 1 point are gone That’s what I was worried about. I was trying for a 1st season bull tag as a second choice as a non-resident. Once I saw the application numbers I was worried! But I got it. Four in-state family members got the same tag with 0 points. I was surprised. Really going to have to pay close attention to my draw strategy next year though. I can’t imagine historical draw odds will mean much. Probably add some states just to ensure one good elk hunt.

Their email notification system sent me nine identical emails telling me I am eligible for the leftover deer and elk drawings even though I drew my first choice elk tag.
I'm honored to be part of the live beta test.

Chop, chop, Dog, you got a lot to do...including buying another freezer...Good problem to have...😎 Just the oldest two can hunt.... so I only really need two more. I handed a TC Impact to my daughter a couple weeks ago when we were in Sportsman’s.... she looked at it and asked me “what’s this for?”. I said she was gozing to need her own Muzzleloader this season. Her reply: “I have a Muzzleloader.... you need a new one.” She’s killed a couple deer with my TC Triumph, and laid claim to it... can’t blame the girl, she knows the good schitt. Girl and I also drew MZ buck tags to go along with the elks... and my wife drew a 4th Season buck tag to boot. My brother and a couple buddies are flying in to hunt 3rd season bucks, and another pard drew 2nd Season Bull and Buck tags. It’s shaping up to be a busy couple months in the fall... and the antelope draw results haven’t been released yet. There’s already two freezers in the garage.... I may need to pony up for a third.

You are going to do great in Unit 3. I had the best hunt experience in that unit.
