Don't forget!
My hunting partner called me and I didn't know it was so close. I thought it opened in April. I figured there wasn't a thread on here so I still had time.
[emoji1303][emoji1303] thanks.
Almost did.
Thanks for the reminder, I'll be doing my applications online today. I hope to get licenses for elk, deer, pronghorn, bear and moose. I'm able to get 2 elk tags while saving preference points, but will use my 2 points for a buck pronghorn tag this year. Will take a different strategy on deer, trying for a later season in a trophy unit near the UT border. Also, this will be my 16th consecutive year applying for a Bullwinkle license. Maybe I'll get lucky and draw the Brainard Lake unit this year? HA! [fudd]

good heads up! I put in a few weeks ago for pp for mt. goat and elk.
I'd appreciate a link. Still trying to learn this stuff.
cpw.state.co.us
Does anyone know if there is an animal harvest report available from last year in a form OTHER than the pdf provided on colorado parks and wildlife website? I have that one, but its just a large image and you cant search it or export to excel to manipulate it.
thanks!
Not harvest report, but here's a link to interactive maps where you can see migration and concentration of different species:Quote:

You have to click around on the "Map Layers and Legend" to show "Game Species" and then choose what you want to highlight.

I have seen them at DPW offices, but they are in a booklet form and normally only report the percent of the tags that were successful. I forgot what the book is called...it had a lot of other useful information in it as well.Quote:

They have the different regions broke down in units with season, sex, total harvest, total hunters and success rate for last year, 3 year and 5 year. If this is not what you were referring to maybe you'll find it a little helpful

I have downloaded it and it is searchable in Adobe.
Thanks- this is the one I was referring to- it is searchable, you're correct. I was looking for one I could export or copy into excel to sort and compare the units easily. This one just copies into one huge cell, not very useful for data mining. I could go through line by line and enter it, but dont have the time (or patience) right now. thanks for the replies!Quote:

I was going to apply tomorrow online. Hope they clear it up!
I was able to apply Sunday around 7PM with no issues.
They don't make it easy. I put in for a mule deer tag in 105, at least that was my intention.Quote:

For me it was my suffix. I needed to put an I after my last name to get it to recognize.Quote:

Just put in. Thanks again for the heads up. Probably taking a point for deer this year and we'll see what happens with elk.
whew, yep, just remembered and got my elk archery submitted. Thanks for the reminders everyone!
Filled mine out this afternoon, sent them $933.00.
Filled out mine today without issue.

Ugh, $720 later. :)
Thanks for the reminder. I always seem to forget every year until I see a thread reminding me.
$720 ? Sounds like you forgot to put in for something. That or you've been lucky enough to draw one of the big three.Quote:

Are you collecting points, and hunting every year?Quote:

To answer simply, Yes I'm collecting points and hunting every year. Obviously not for moose, sheep, or goat, but I hunt elk every year and deer every other year or two years. I use my antelope point every other year to go with a buddy down south. I apply for tags that are hard to draw with my first choice and then use my second choice to draw tags that I can draw with zero points. your second, third, and fourth choice don't use or accumulate any preference points.Quote:

Everyone wants to hunt here and that's why they have the point system. if you truly want to get a better understanding of the points system feel free to pm me your contact info, and I would be more than happy to help you learn and understand the whole preference point system. But in a nut shell in a given unit the tags are given to the person or persons with the most points. Every year that you are unsuccessful you are awarded another point and in turn moving you closer to the top of the list. The system is a little different for sheep, moose, and goat. Here is a link that will better explain the system http://huntplannerapp.com/blog/color...ts-demystifiedQuote:
