    21 colorado resident elk pref. points

    I need other hunters opinions. I know where I am hunting but maybe someone out there knows something I don't. This is my big year. Any public tag in this state is mine for the taking! What are your thoughts?

    If I had that many points I'd apply for 2 or 10. Both took 16 for residents and 21/22 for NRs. If you are a Colorado Res, my only question is why did you wait so long. You could have goteither of these several years ago. Easy terrain, lots of bulls and plenty of public land.

    I scouted those units and I liked another better and thought I was going to rifle hunt it till I saw what shape the bulls were in at that time. I scouted it during the rifle season when I had 19 points thinking that 20 should get me drawn. I decided to check out earlier seasons to see what shape they were in. They looked much better so I waited 1 more year. When you have waited 19 or 20 years what is just 1 or 2 more.
