Yep, In my area a couple days ago I glassed a couple deer pushing 9800 ft. Depending on the snow levels, deer will be in their high country summer ranges by this point.

There are great LE hunts you can draw as an NR with 15 points, you are really just missing out at this point.

Well If you think hunting the rut is such a great Idea, I think you would love hunting montana.... If Colorado keeps the hunt structure similar to the current one, the quality of deer will be equivalent to montana in about a decade or so. I don't hear any positivity about montana mule deer...

Still have not received my tag yet. I thought they were said to be mailed out in may?

After looking at draw odds, you are guaranteed any general tag/season in the state with 10 NR points.

Hunt the entire month if you can, but if you can only hunt 1 week. Go early, the moon phases is good the first week of September this year. It will also be easier to call mature bulls in before they get with the cows.

I have only looked at a few units so far, but the point creep is insane. Some units went from 2 required in 2023 to 6 in 2024. I'm in disbelief how bad the NR point creep was. I planned for the worst and it surpassed that. I suspect many people jumped in this year because of the fear of future...

I have had great success with the Magpul bipod, although it is not the best bipod out there it has worked great for me. I shot the pronghorn in my profile pic last year with it, I rested the bipod legs on my pack to gain additional height and it was a very stable shooting platform.

I have 4 tags this year across 3 states...

They got winter killed really bad in the 22-23 winter. The genetics are there for big deer, but the population and age class took a massive hit. It will take several years to recover. I'd have low expectations.

If there were 1 million Ferraris made each year, would they still cost $300k each?

This is no different than anything else in society....supply and demand. There is a reason a Ferrari is $300k+ and not $50k. Everything in life is a rich man's game if you really think about it. Though it is unfortunate that people are slowly being priced or cutout of hunting opportunities...

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing for my dedicated as well. But no price increase for anything else. So I guess that means probably not drawn?

That is a great problem to have. I'm in the same situation this year, I drew a second archery NM elk tag. I put in for the late archery so I don't draw two conflicting hunts.
