[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1091271, member: 33822"] Are you collecting preference points for that unit 55 first season hunt? I looked up the statistics and it looks like the success rate of just drawing that tag was 81% in 2014 for guys that did not have any preference points. If you had at least 1 preference point, that would guarantee you a tag. Otherwise 81% is still pretty good odds without a preference point. You can look up these statistics on the Colorado CPW website: [url=http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/Statistics-Elk.aspx]Colorado Parks & Wildlife - Elk Hunting Statistics[/url] I've never hunted unit 55, but it looks like the elk hunting is pretty good .... The hunter reference guide also lists some general info and the 2013 success rate for bulls was 18% while the average over the past 5 years is 25%. It looks like unit 66 has higher success rates, but for a non-resident you need at least 2 preference points to get a tag in that unit.
