Wish you luck. I drew that tag last year and did some scouting on my way to Wyoming. Was pretty dry and didn't see as many goats as I have in the past. But only spent a day and a half, so who knows. Unfortunately I didn't get to hunt as I got a call while in Wyoming hunting that my Dad was very ill. Turned in my tag before season opened....got all my points back. This yeay I applied for points only as I am hunting out of state...leave in 2 weeks.

Keep us posted on how you do as this is a really good area and is tough to draw, takes 13 pts or more.

Looks like there's a few to choose from. Should make for a great hunt! Is there plenty of public land in 3/301? I have a bunch of antelope points to burn sooner or later...

This unit has suffered some "point creep". A couple of years ago it took about 10. Yes lots of public land ( a rarity for Colorado antelope units).

Being a local here, I think a guy should hold out for 2/201, it also has way more public land and although i personally believe it has fewer antelope, I think the quality is still higher than 3/301

Not sure I can wait that long as I'll be 72 next month and it took at least 15 res ppoints this year. I now have 12, with some point creek, I may never have enough to draw it.

Well , if you do get a chance to hit 3/301, best of luck, hit me up if you want some company. I'll be sure to share my results!
