CO - Credit Cards: Any hits yet?

[Buckjunkie]

Anyone's points change?

Nope, but my CC hasn’t been hit yet either

 

[Deercy]

Half of my anticipation is directed at the draw recap. I enjoy comparing trends.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Hi ______ welcome to the group. "Hi everyone my name is ______ and I spend way to much time analyzing western big game drawing stats." Your not alone !!

 

[SDBugler]

just got a charge for $420. Looks like I will be chasing deer in the high country on a early season rifle hunt again. I was pretty sure I would draw the tag but always good to get the confirmation.

 

[Bookhead]

My card on file is no longer valid so I guess I'll have to wait 2 or 3 days or whenever they decide to post the results ?

You can go on CPW and update it now

 

[buckmster28]

Do they run the card again if you are drawn or do you just have to pay for it when you get results?

 

[PRCnut]

Do they run the card again if you are drawn or do you just have to pay for it when you get results?

The regs say you have until midnight of June 17th to pay for it.

 

[Trophy_Taker]

If you have until June 17th to pay for it, can you return a tag you've drawn for refund until then too?

 

[joevegas]

NR Deer tags X2 on my CC.

 

[PRCnut]

If you have until June 17th to pay for it, can you return a tag you've drawn for refund until then too?

In order to have points restored you have until June 6th 11:59 pm MT

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

New this year....they're charging later...it's spelled out in the brochure on page 1 in the "What's New 2022" section.

Really then why do I have posted charges for bear and deer tags for myself and kids. Other people are also having charges posted. They obviously aren't following that at all.

 

[wweaver79]

Deer 66 2nd ? hopefully it’s not 65 everyday.

[rmanwill]

No email or change on my cpwshop.com (points/draws). Just a charge on my credit card for $420..00. That is my only notification so far.

[Bigwiffy]

Got hit for unit 44 6th season deer.....$235,000 hit on my card.

 

[scopenstalk]

anyone have official word yet? Still haven't seen anything

 

[PRCnut]

Same

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

I hate to say it but if you don't have a pending charge by now you probably didn't draw. My guess is deer was done today by 5 o clock. Elk and or pronghorn will start tomorrow morning.

 

[fallguy]

Good news. The guy that pushes the "Send Emails" button was off today but he'll be back in tomorrow.

 

[Ynothunt41]

Let me guess with no points.

 

[BucCrazy1]

So how does it work if you put in as a group, my dad got an email last night saying his card was expired. He updated it today but no email, no charges for any of us and my account still says entered for deer? I'm assuming they hit the whole group at once or no charges unless he fixes it. Thoughts?

Hard to say I had fraud charges on my card yesterday so I had to block my card. I'm guessing I won't know until they post the results now

 

[Cali4x4]

Deer credit card hit . Says pending charge.

 

[BackcountryRob]

Gotta Pay to Play. Dealer..... Bust

 

[sneakem]

My card was hit earlier in the day for deer but now the charge has been removed…??

 

[Cali4x4]

My card was hit earlier in the day for deer but now the charge has been removed…??

Sure. That sucks

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

I got moose and bear notifications for myself and kids. Bear charges hit the card yesterday and the successful emails were in my inbox this morning. Assume the deer emails will be out in the morning as charges hit my card at 12:30 today for deer.

 

[1989Cohunter]

Colorado’s system is not for the impatient lol.

That's no kidding only takes a week of drawings for them to get their poop in a group

 

[Servehim]

Hopefully elk results are soon !!

 

[nogoodtags]

Deer 66 2nd ? hopefully it’s not 65 everyday.

I hope so too, we’re due for an early weather pattern one of these years. I’ll be across the pond at the same time, good luck!

 

[BackcountryRob]

$420.23 pending transaction.. we will see! Nothing on CPW yet or payment posted.

 

[sneakem]

My card was hit earlier in the day for deer but now the charge has been removed…??

Now the charge is back... wish they would just post the results, I'm just totally unproductive checking for results all day, all week long...?

 

[1989Cohunter]

Deer points are gone for me. No cc charge or anything.

 

[muleyslayerwa]

Deer points are gone for me. No cc charge or anything.

I have a cc charge and my deer points are gone as of now

 

[scopenstalk]

I gained a preference point in the system. only notification I have.

 

[RRCowboyStar]

One more PP

 

[coloradoman]

One more PP

Same here

 

[fallguy]

I gained a preference point in the system. only notification I have.

Me too. Pref pt is dated May 18, 2022.

 

[Buckslayer307]

Looks like second choice deer for this ombre. Got the hit on the card n still picked up a point on the CPW website. So thats my only logical conclusion

 

[RRCowboyStar]

Now, just two more opportunities for disappointment.

 

[BackcountryRob]

Sounds like Deer results can be found by checking your pref. points, elk are yet to be determined!

 

[Bookhead]

If you drew your first choice yea so only somewhat helpful

 

[jvgunner]

no charges & points still the same as of 730am 6/2

 

[Grouse Legs]

$42.01 charge pending from yesterday...
Still no email..

 

[Bookhead]

Results for deer posted to my account finally

 

[Togwotee]

My card got hit yesterday, my points say zero, -24 imported on May 18th, my accounts still says entered.

I wish I'd checked my points before I had to enter in WY , not sure if it would have read zero or not.

 

[Buckslayer307]

you pull a tag?

 

[WiscoKid]

Got hit this morning for 74 archery Better throw these donuts away

 

[BackcountryRob]

True. Not many 2nd choice tags anymore. CO Deer results are posted!

 

[Bookhead]

you pull a tag?

No I wasn't smart enough ?

 

[Wailing4Wapiti]

Doubt it would have helped. My Deer and Elk points are still showing the same as last year. Everyone on the sites are saying credit cards are getting hit before points are changing.

 

[Soccerdude]

Mine says Not Awarded. And added a point.

 

[BeanMan]

My deer point is gone, I’ll be hunting deer in unit 41.

 

[TXraider]

Also Got a "not awarded" on the CPW website. So much for the toprut odds, said I had a 50 percent odds for my 3rd choice and 100 percent for my 4th choice for the units 128 and 122 multi unit 1st and 2nd archery tags.

Unles I am not understanding how the system works? This is my first year applying in Colorado.

 

[shedneck]

My deer points changed to zero and my account now says I was awarded a deer tag, but still no credit card charge.

 

[txhunter58]

Tx. What about your points. Maybe “not awarded” applies to first choice ?

 

[krash2501]

I got my email this morning, Draw accepted and points zero'ed. Looking forward to 3rd season.

 

[graybird]

Got another ping for another set of youth tags, not sure the species yet, either elk or antelope.

 

[JakeH]

My deer app says not awarded. Ell and antelope still say entered, but I'm not expecting anything for those.

 

[Horniac]

I just got a charge for $420.23 for pronghorn! CPW account still shows all my pronghorn points and draw status as “entered” and my deer application as “not awarded”.

It doesn’t appear that the CPW is following their new procedure as they are supposed to send the successful e-mails first and allow the applicant a short period to surrender their tag prior to charging the applicant’s card for the tag which I was seriously contemplating…

Horniac

 

[RRCowboyStar]

CC Has a Pending of $42.01 Elk or Antelope?

 

[TXraider]

Tx. What about your points. Maybe “not awarded” applies to first choice ?

First year applying so it updated from 0 to 1 point. I think if I was awarded a 3rd or 4th choice it would say awarded then highlight or write out the one I got I am assuming. No CC charge either. Oh well. I already have a Utah and NM deer tag so I really can not complain

 

[graybird]

CC Has a Pending of $42.01 Elk or Antelope?

That would indicate antelope based upon the $$ value.

Just checked because no cc hits or emails. But points are gone and says awarded first choice on there website! I’m stoked after 24 years of applying for deer!!

 

[rmanwill]

My card was hit and was not sure which son drew. This morning sons points were zero. Now it is verified.

 

[Grouse Legs]

Buck tag!

 

[MaineFlatlander]

Hit for an antelope tag

 

[Zim]

I just got an email from CDOW on my deer point. Waiting on elk now.

 

[Gadjet]

I received the email. First choice buck tag for me.

25 years ago did you think this day would ever come? I get nervous after I get 1 point.

 

[AZGuy]

Your first choice is the only choice that matters unless the other choices have “leftovers” you can’t draw a tag on any other pick but the first choice.

 

[PRCnut]

Never thought it would happen chasing the point creep all these years! Glad to get that monkey off my back. Lol

You didn't state what hunt codes, but if you imply that you listed hunt codes DE122O1A and DE128O1A as your 3rd and 4th choices, you had zero chance to draw those. Almost all of those licenses were awarded to 1st choice applicants in past years. And in the draw, they fill everyone's first choice before any lower choices are considered.

Top Rut is typically spot-on, so you may have mis-read the information they provided.

 

[BeanMan]

Your first choice is the only choice that matters unless the other choices have “leftovers” you can’t draw a tag on any other pick but the first choice.

Not strictly true, a tag drawn as second choice never will hit the “leftovers” and you will get a pp. I draw a second choice every year, build points, and hunt elk with two different licenses. One must be a b list tag.

You are correct there!

 

[Omordha]

Got my email confirmation this morning, me and the old man will be headed to CO for mule deer! First time in CO, can’t wait!

 

[otcWill]

Well I drew my first choice. Thought this would be my only hunt and had dedicated all my research and a good chunk of vacation time to this hunt. Turns out I drew a CO sheep tag and a UT premium elk tag with far worse odds than the sheep tag. I am certainly not complaining, but will be hard pressed to make time for all 3. Could be a dandy tag on the leftover list. We'll see how things shake out. Gonna be a helluva fall even if I have to put the deer hunt off for now. Congrats to all the tag holders!

Congrats on some sweet tags. Darrell here from KS. I've misplaced your phone number but I'll shoot you an email! That Utah elk tag has me very envious, especially since CO seems intent on not letting me know if I drew that 76 tag I'm after.

 

[otcWill]

Thanks buddy! You're gonna draw. A nice bull is in your future.

 

[TXraider]

Oh ok. Thanks for letting me know

 

[Deerlove]

Muzzy deer for me.

Congrats! What unit?

 

[scopenstalk]

Any of you get your official usuc email for deer? My account and all did update but for whatever reason no email. Did check and see that they have the correct email on file.

[wapiti99]

Got my email notification of deer tag drawn this morning and my deer points now show zero.
I'll be chasing bucks in 67 third season!!

 

[jvgunner]

no charges & points still the same as of 730am 6/2

815am 6/2, email sent unsuccessful deer, points upgraded. Still waiting on Elk.

 

[Ynothunt41]

Guys on Rokslide said they are getting CC hit for Elk now.

 

[muleyslayerwa]

Yup I have an elk hit

 

[Sherlock]

Yup! Hit for elk. Now have both deer and elk for CO. Let’s go! (as my son would say)

 

[txhunter58]

Bother and I got muzzleloading bull tags. Only way we know is CC hits

 

[rmanwill]

CC hit for elk. Wife or myself for unit 61.

 

[Zim]

Dang, Took them until 9:48 pm CST but COPW finally hit my CC card for elk tag. Just cashed in the first big game point I ever bought, way back in 1996. Will be headed for unit 61 archery.

Toprut's odds are absolutely correct.....for last year. What people don't understand is that they have no bearing on this years odds whatsoever. To explain further, tag numbers often are increased or decreased in Colorado and season dates are adjusted making some years more desirable than others. Toprut's odds don't reflect that. Also, you need to look at how many applications there were last year. Often times their are more folks in each of the lower tier point totals and as you move up it takes longer to get through that entire group as it is larger-described as point creep. There are a few people around that actually crunch the numbers and can give you an expectation of whether you will draw or not based upon odds, tag increases or decreases and notoriety for a hunt that changes application pools. Last years odds should be used as a go by to give you an idea of what it takes.

Uncle's CC was hit for $700 last night (Elk Tag), no results on CPW yet and still waiting on my CC to be hit.

 

[easyelk13]

I have a $700 Dollar charge on my CC. Unit 40 muzzy tag!!
