Looks like moose is up first. I got hit with the $100 PP charge this morning on my credit card (and Roksliders are reporting the same).

I'm waiting for deer results.

Just checking in. It's the last day of May. My first mule deer hunt in NM (Unit 51 if anybody has any pointers) is less than 5 months away!

Work has been kicking my ass the past few months and I haven't really gotten to celebrate drawing my first tag or prepping for the hunt. Fortunately things should slow down a little and afford me a little more time to focus on preparing. Time to start gathering gear and getting back into shape.

For those who are interested, Camofire.com has Mystery Ranch packs on sale today...25% off MSRP.

Got my point for moose. My phone is blowing up with hunters wanting to know when tags are out. I didn't know name was CPW. Lol. Should be a day or so for final tags emails

Haha. Yeah my CO account is now updated with "Not Awarded" so I assume the moose portion is wrapping up.

Wonder if tomorrow is elk or deer?

Don't see a charge for me and on CPW website it still says "entered" so no change there in status

I was awarded September bear but still waiting on deer news.

Since they were not entered at the same time, it is making me very nervous.

My card has a pending charge for my deer tag, so they're going through it now. No changes on my CO account yet, though.

I got a charge. I guess it's deer based upon above posts. Could also be pronghorn based on the charge amount

I just drew a buck muley tag in the CO central mountains. It's been 10 long years since I took my best muley ever, a 6x7 that grossed in the low 190s...

Drew deer 2nd rifle, surprised cuz it was a long shot...and got a credit card charge for antelope, but no confirmation yet.

Waiting on elk. Have a friend who applied with 25pts for one of the trophy units so anxious to see if he drew.

I got my moose and speedgoat point and mule deer tag for unit 11. Waiting on Elk. Now the challenge is if I can even go out to hunt.

Unit 64/65 Colorado elk either sex, first rifle!

Any tips for that area appreciated! Planning a pack-in camp trip with 3 other hunters and my 13 YO son.

Anyone hunt around Breckinridge? New area for me. What kind of hunting is it? I normally hunt SW CO.

Urgent help needed...

Got an email from CO. The early rifle deer hunt i applied for in 44 had someone return their tag and I was next in line. I have until 8 am tomorrow to tell them if I want it.

Of course my brother, dad, and I just applied for WY leftover archery tags two days ago and have like a 30% chance to draw a tag between the three of us.

Wyoming elk hunt would likely be week of 9/4 so I could go straight from there to CO which is 9/10 to 9/18.

I feel like I'll be rushing everything and not enjoy a hunt I burned 5 points on in CO and not get enough scouting in.

Right now I'm leaning towards passing on it and just plan to do it next year.

I'm worried they may change the NR distribution of tags in CO next year.

I'm also worried about not drawing anything in WY (70% chance of nada). If that happens I'll likely go OTC archery elk.

You should hunt that 44ER tag. My 2 cents.

If y'all don't draw Wyoming, maybe they could come along and help glass for the ER tag. If you do draw Wyoming, I bet you can figure it out.

The tag is 44, 45, and 444 but it is wilderness only.

I have an hour to decide and am still 50/50.
