RE: Colorado deadline
I'll be making my entry this week end to return for the second year.
I would like to save up a few preference points for a muzzle loader hunt but I want to hunt every year too.
I hunt GMU 78 and I don't bow hunt so to go as early as possible my bestbet is the first rifle season.
If I understand the way it works I can't purchase a preference point and still have any chance of drawing a tag for the first rifle since last year the quota was 2100 and there were 2223 applicants.
I also will never draw a bull muzzle loader tag without preferenc points so apparently the only way to go muzzle loader is to go over the counter week 2 rifle for ayear or to to build preference points.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Colorado deadline
I'm building pts for elk, deer, but building those NR sheep, moose, goat pts are expensive! to front the entire tag fee just for a bonus pt... 3 x $1800 ..... that's a lot of $ out of pocket.
Don't forget Non-residents Moose, Sheep, Goat are paper apps only! no online option.

RE: Colorado deadline
Colorado Muzzleloader is a very limited license. Of course each yr depends on # of applicants, and # tags given out for each area. But if you want to be sure you draw one someday, you'll want at least 2 pref. pts.. 3 is almost a guarentee.
In my opinion muzzleloader is the way to go. Its the 3rd wk of overall season, same as archery. You get first gun crack at Elk, and its in the heart of the rut.
