Nope, 3rd year in a row. Maybe next year...
I'm in CA. Sorry -- was this for CO only?

No no no, it was my mistake in not seeing where you are from. How's your bear population out that way?
Gotcha. Thought I misunderstood the post.
Ha! CA has tons of bears. They banned using dogs several years back (public proposition). Not so good for houndsmen. But fantastic for those of us who don't use dogs. They cause all kinds of mischief & CDFW stopped issuing depredation permits too. So people now beg hunters they know to help take some out. Bee yards, subdivisions and even just good ol' forest land has more bears than ever. I think it's going to put CA on the list of destinations to come for big bears. I don't think anybody saw that coming when they voted to ban hounds.

I have a lefty 54 GPR. Don't hunt, but bet that bad boy packs a wallop!

I put in for just about everything, with preference point as my first choice, and mostly NW Colorado areas for 2nd thru 4th choices; Muzzleloader elk, 2nd season deer, moose. Didn't draw a single tag. Today I put in for leftover elk muzzleloader tag ... we'll see what happens.
If all else fails, there's still Over the Counter for elk.

All youth get preference on all choices before they even start drawing for adults in the secondary draw. Only low demand hunts with lots of tags will make it to adults in most cases. Good luck though.

Drew a u18 cow ml. Wanted deer their but tried second choice and didn't get it. Has always been easily done but I think more apps this year.
Secondary draw results up tomorrow so maybe......

Just got the email from dow. Unsuccessful for the cow tag. Oh well I got a pretty good area for deer. I think I might buy a muzzle loader bear tag.

I drew a secondary Archery deer tag for the unit that I bowhunt for elk so I'm a happy camper. Didn't draw one of the three possible rifle antelope tags but I didn't expect it either.

I drew an Archery deer tag in the secondary. Not a particularly desirable unit but it's perfect for me.

I'm going to keep an eye out for the leftover list. I'd like to pick up a B list ML tag for the area that I drew ML cow.
With only a deer tag in my pocket I’ll be trying to pick up an elk, antelope & maybe a bear tag.

Bear tags will be easy if you're not particular about the "where". Actually, antelope too but once again, there's that "where".
