No tags drawn by me for Colorado. Preference points for deer, elk and antelope.

I will also grab a Plains Elk tag. I bought one each of the last 7 years since I been on the place, and never punched one. See a few elk blow thru in the spring and summer, but never can seem to find one during the long (sept 1st to Jan 31st) plains season. 2 cows came thru yesterday, but by the time I dug the camera outta my boot, one made cover.... If she's around in September, she's goin' down.....

I had a banner year ...
BH Sheep, MZL Bull Elk, MZL Buck Deer (2nd choice), Rifle Bear (2nd choice), and Rifle Doe Antelope (2nd choice)
The two tags I thought I was in extremely good position for was my 1st choice buck with 4 points and my 1st choice antelope with 10 points.
Certainly didn't expect the Sheep or the Elk tag. Last year, 1 of 11 people drew the elk tag with 3 points. This year I was 1 of 2 people who drew it with 2 points.
Guess it just goes to show the years you're expecting a particular tag and not another is just that .... a guess!
Here's to one heck of a September and 1st week of October!!!!
Good luck everyone on filling your tags!!!

My hunting partner and I drew our deer licenses as did two others in our camp. Two struck out but everyone who applied for cow elk tags were drawn. I may pick up a leftover late cow tag or an OTC bull tag when they go on sale in August since I applied for preference point only for elk. Just hedging my bets in the event that the late season bull quota is cut in future years or there is big time point creep. I don’t have enough hunting years left to build 20+ points for a premium tag! Happy hunting to all! Happy Trails

I got my pronghorn tag in the mail yesterday. The tag was separated from the rest of the license. The edges where it was separated are perforated so apparently someone separated it on purpose.
I'm not impressed with the new vendor they're using, to say the least.
Edited to add: I called CP&W and asked about the separated tag. They said I need to bring it in to get a new tag that's not separated. They also said they'd been having other problems with this new vendor. I hope they get it worked out.

I guess they ran out of blue/grey tags. LOL! The printing on the new green ones looks shabby. It’ll look fine taped to a big mule deer rack 😎 Happy Trails
