a little help with Colorado preference point system
#21
To be honest. I don't know. In 60 years of elk hunting Colorado i've never bought a point. I always put in for the draw.
I'd suggest you call the number I posted in this thread. They'll have the answer, and are glad to help.

Less hunters is relative though. You picked a very popular unit, and it's crowded for all seasons. It's also a fairly tough unit to hunt terrain wise. You'll be climbing some high altitudes to get away from the other hunters.

The 1st rifle season can catch the end of the rut, and they'll be less hunters. So, it's a better season to hunt. However, as I mentioned it's only a 5 day hunt compared to the other rifle seasons that are 9 days.

Nothing you'll do will get you used to the altitude out there. Go out at least a couple days early to get used to it and it will help. Also, read up on altitude sickness and it's warning signs so you'll know what is happening before it's too late and can get out of Dodge quickly if it hits.
