Applications are now open too.
Points only for me again this year.

I’m torn, but I think I’m applying for deer…

 

[cohunter14]

Wow, you're actually going to do it this year???

A non hunting buddy of mine who’s working around Durango sent me this picture last night. He wondered if it was a good buck. Took it yesterday.

Got my points bought for this year.
Should have enough to pull my moose tag next year. May do that and First rifle elk.
Go big or go home.

Wow is that a monster buck!!

Keep in mind that moose is a total lottery, and preference points just help you in the lottery. There are no guarantees, regardless of how many points you have. I certainly wouldn't plan on having a moose tag in your pocket, even if you've got 30+ points.

Just finished skimming through the new 2026 brochure and there are definitely a few changes worth paying attention to before applications open. The season dates, point requirements, and unit details always seem to shift a bit each year, so it’s smart to read the fine print early instead of assuming last year’s info still applies. Appreciate you posting the link — it saves a lot of digging around on the CPW site.
