skb:
I apply/build pts on CO, hunted back in college for elk 2 years, but have not since, considering an archery mule deer hunt in 2010 though.
Otherwise I'm just building pts, mule deer is really all I look to CO for currently, I would like to pursue sheep, moose, and goat there, but have yet to apply/build pts for any, as they require paper applications and the money up front.
When I hunted elk, it was rifle, OTC, once near Vail, the other time near Gunnison.
I believe the mule deer areas I'm looking towards are on the western slope, but I really haven't dove into the research aside from building pts for deer.
