Hi TreednNC,
You don't have to save up points to go to Colorado. Take a look at unit 78.
That's where I go. A friend of mine used to go to 78 every year before he got too old. He told me about it 3 years ago and I've been going since. North east of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. OTR is available for week 2 and 3 and for the first rifle season 9 out of 10 draw successfully every year. If you aren't successful then you get a preference point.
