Read the BG brochure. It gives dates for when results will be published.

GREAT to see you back Saddlesore! You've been missed! We've been having some really good political discussions over on Bowsite. Paul even gets in on some of them and doesn't get his feathers ruffled at all. Join us. Hope youre doing well.

Colorado results will be out the 31st I believe.

Bowsite must be a magical place where everyone agrees?

Another year missed! Now what? This gets old! Good luck to everyone that drew tags in Colorado! I guess the economy in Colorado will pay the price this year as well! That and the winter kill!

Nope, CPW will still sell every tag they put out. Only cow hunts will be effected. The OTC rifle hunts, they only changed to 5 days from 9 and are not limited which will do nothing to build the herd back up and hunter will still buy those tags.

Hunters won't see as many elk in that winter kill zone and other areas of the state with any OTC tags will see even more crowded hunting than before.

Putting in for the 2nd draw is folly unless there are hundreds of tags still available. Youth get 100% preference. Which is good, but other than that it only means more money from application fees in CPW's coffers to pay salaries.

I drew a ML cow tags in Unit 12, but will go just to get up in the hills and see old friends. At 80 years old, this trip might be my last
