If you look at last years stats there are very few mediocre tags at best that might get past the youth. When they do make it through, odds are usually 1% or less. Only success we have ever seen in our group has been for youth.

With 8 tags… not likely… I have but its only been for a unit with over 70 tags, plus you can draw them 4th choice… and there is a reason for that haha

Every year the same questions pop up. Someone should probably post a thread saying the second draw is for youth only more or less, and sticky that thing so everyone can read it every year.

Wouldn’t matter, they’d still ask. I mean CPW puts out a cool little regulation book and tons of people don’t even read it when most of their questions can be answered by studying the book. There are so many stupid post on the Facebook Colorado pages it’s scary. People literally have no idea how the draw works, how the 2nd draw works, think it’s all conspiracy that there are tags available going into the 2nd draw, etc. It’s actually quite comical.

Cpw also sends the second draw email out that says nothing about youth preference until you get down to the picture of the reg book…. Which is pretty screwed up. It should be in bold across the top

Way down the email like I stated. why not put it in bold under the first couple of bullet points? It’s pretty deceptive on their part

Man we have people asking the dumbest questions all the time do you think people read the regs… I guess they deserve to lose 8 bucks on tags they will never draw

I question the people asking these questions should be trusted with a weapon?

Agree 100%. Look at my post up above about dumb questions ppl ask.
It’s like when people makes a post about when the results will be out or when the deadline is. It takes just as long to make a lazy post as it would to look it up in the regs and get the answer. People are just lazy nowadays.

Every year it amazes me how many people don’t use the resources that Cpw puts out there with information about the secondary draw. There’s a brochure every year for the most part that is pretty clear if you take the time to read it. You can get on an email list and they’ll email you information about the secondary draw that explains it. They have a Facebook page if you’re into that, and they sent out information on their site that’s pretty clear about the secondary draw also. And not to mention their website that everybody goes on to apply for the tags in the first place has all the information you need. You just need to go look and find It. And there’s still people that get on their Facebook page or Colorado Facebook groups and ask question's and complain about the process when there’s information everywhere…. And as far as wasting your application fees as an adult applicant, when you have no chance of drawings. All you Gotta do is go and look at the past results of the secondary draw and it’s more than clear that most of the sought after tags are gonna go to youth. It’s not hard to figure out as an adult that certain units and tags you have no chance at. So if you apply for those tags and waste your application fee, it’s not CPWs fault it’s on you….… Hell some people wouldn’t be happy even if Cpw showed up at their house and did a PowerPoint in their living room… They’d still complain about something.

Best part you can probably count on the same exact question again next year.Every year it amazes me how many people don’t use the resources that Cpw puts out there with information about the secondary draw.

Is the price of a doe tag the same as a buck tag? I was going to apply for one of the many left over doe tags in the area I drew a buck tag and then just throw it away. But as a non resident to CO, I wouldn’t buy it if it’s the same price as a buck tag.

Yeah I don’t see a different price listed for doe tags. Appears to be $481.52 for a nr adult.
