Very inefficient.They told me it cost them $57 to write every check. No wonder they're in the hole.

Thanks. I should be fine if they send them soon.
cedahm / ElkStalker - I'm almost certain CPW has stated their system is changing to an electronic credit reimbursement system next year. I can't find my source for that but I swear I saw that. It could have been at one of the meetings I attended. These things don't change over night.

Does the bear and pronghorn show up in the same place? If so have they done those draws yet. I saw one person post they drew a bear tag so was curious.

That's what it means - it's one thing that the CPW puts right there in plain english on the website
I really wish CO would proof up their functionality and end this backdoor mischief...lots of drama and potential disappointment built for nothing. I have some tinfoil-hat-leaning friends that are convinced the lengthy 'draw' process is when the department cuts deals with landowners and wealthy folks
I love WY in this regard: "We will release draw results at xx:xx on mm/dd/yyyy" - and they hit those targets within a minute.

Wyoming has a working "backdoor" for Elk and next month I'll know if it works for Antelope.

Guess I missed out on the bear but was worth a shot. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I'll be hunting above timberline this September! Got a 591 code showing.
I thought they closed their door
- but regardless - I still like their system better than ours. I personally think WY has the model point system - not perfect, but: Want to have a mathematical chance every year even if you're just starting? "No problem".
Want to buy a hunting license first? "Feel free, we've got lots of grouse, but you don't have to".
Want to pay more for better odds if you're close to the tag, have the dough and are maybe a little impatient? "Go ahead, we can do that".
Want to opt out of the point system entirely (elk, deer, antelope) and just roll the dice every year? "OK".
Want official draw results in 20-40 days from application? "Check"
Want your refund back within days, in it's entirety, electronically? "Got it"
Honestly, the only thing about WY's drawing system I really don't like as a NR is Sheep (and soon, Moose) "preference" points that are required but categorically worthless for nearly everyone in their system. I realize there is some other mischief (i.e. the Wilderness access rule and Special/Regular splits among others), but the drawing system is solid.
