JimP is right on with this advice. My CO elk tag last year jumped from 8 to 11 pts., and luckily I had those 11 pts. I have been point creeped 3 times in CO units that I expected to draw in. Sometime you feel like a dog chasing his tail. All it takes is some media posting on a big critter shot in a particular unit, or one that is upgraded to "blue chip", to change the whole numbers game.
