[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2136968, member: 114633"] I would use gohunt to figure out where to best use your points, there are lots of tags a nonres can draw every year with no points. Don't waist your points on something you could get with 0. Also the secondary draw doesn't use points so you can draw an early season tag and get the experience/learn before you drop your points on that hunt of a lifetime. I would try and draw proghorn followed my 1st rifle elk since those seasons directly follow each other. Get you proghorn tag for 110,118,123 (those units have public land and are still easy to draw). Stay in Colorado springs and then head up to the hills to hunt. Also you CAN get a tag in the primary draw WITHOUT using your points.... Just make your 1st choice a completely unattainable hunt code and then put what you really want for your 2nd choice. That way you can still buy a point and get a really good tag for this year. If you are doing that in the primary draw try to get a cow tag for the flat tops region. That's like 12,13,24,231. There are lots of elk there... There are also lots of tags ... And lots of hunters. Bottom line is it would suck to use your preference points on your FIRST hunt out here. Even in a good unit you can come up empty handed and then you blew all your points on the learning experience. PM me I can fill you in on draw strategy [/QUOTE]
