Reversal

[ElmerFudd]

The "points used to draw" language on the refund application is not in the reversal description. It looks to me that if you want to keep your points plus the one for this year and get a refund for a second choice tag, you need to wait to get the tag then return it for a refund minus $15. Is that correct?

You mentioned this is for a 2nd choice tag. In that case your prior points and the current year point, are not at risk of forfeit, no matter what you do.

Thanks! I only applied for a second choice, 25, as a backup plan, but have a conflicting hunt in Utah that is probably a better deer hunt. Henry Mountains ALW Buck....

I agree. No matter what you do with the tag, you should still have your previous points plus one for this year. Just check under your account and see what it has listed as points. If there are points there, they are not affected by what you do. You could go ahead and surrender the tag now for a refund and it won’t affect points.

Probably!?!?!? There is no hunt in Colorado that I would trade for that tag.

In the bottom of your receipt email there is a link which you can fill out until June 3rd, for point restoration plus refund.

I’d do that for the sake of simplicity rather than having to wait and mail back a tag.

Plus if you reverse it you get points and money back. I know if it's 2nd choice it doesn't matter but on my antelope tag I drew it does.

lol. Probably no muley tag in the world that would be better! Although, a buddy that hunted it recently said it wasn’t really that fun - too much of a circus!

And maybe a little gloating? I would be!
Get a big-un!

Did it. Looks like the tag is removed from my privileges, I have a refund for the full amount to my card and my points stayed at post draw level.

I returned my first choice elk tag, I got my refund but still at 0 for my points. My points should be returning to pre-draw levels based on the wording in the regs and my successful email. Giving it a little time, I'm sure its not an instant process.

Same! Let us know when your points have been restored

I contacted via email and got the below response. I guess just keep your receipts before 2025 draw:

Preference point restorations typically occur in fall/winter but will be added back to your account before the 2025 primary draw.
