Go here for the "Draft policy alternatives" that Colorado is considering for the next 5 year season structure. Some good ideas and some scary ideas for us nonresidents. Don't get me wrong, I can see where they may want to lower the percentage of nonresidents even more (especially on hard to draw hunts), but I sure hope they don't start charging us $250 (nonrefundable) to apply for a preference point.

And I hope they don't monkey with the preference point system too much. I think most guys like the present preference point system (people with the most preference points are picked first) for all hunts except the hard to draw hunts. For those hunts, they might put up 70% of the tags in the preference point drawing, and then put up 30% in a random lottery. That still rewards the guys who have collected preference points all these years, but gives others with 0 points at least a chance to draw

Go read it and tell me what you think
