Colorado Refund Check in the mail

Just got a refund check in the mail for a bear tag I had no recollection of applying for in Colorado. Apparently I did after I dug out my receipt but man I sure don't recall clicking that button.

Is it safe to say though that since I didn't get a refund for mule deer or cow elk that I drew out? Or could those refunds be showing up in the mail as well at a later date? Is there a place on the Colorado website that will show draw results?

Never mind....Colorado website says posted results will be up June 1. Anxiously waiting......

Backdoor is already open..go look for a 500 code. Refunds hit mid June-late June depending on when you get processed.

Thanks Rifleman, struck out on bear and mule deer. Did get a cow tag though. I guess that's a win

It is, unless you were looking forward to that refund check for elk.

Good to know those are coming out. Pref points this year for me.

Haven't got any checks in the mail, backdoor is, umm, what would you call it Rifleman Few more days until they post, so will see then for sure..

Of course it is. Congratulations. "Prime groceries" right thar.

X's 2 plus, better shopping too

I forgot to put in for CO tags but found a landowner tag on 40k acres near walsenburg so i plan to buy that every year, tag horder.

Received the deer refund but not the elk. Elk still doesn't show that I drew.

Elk refund is later than deer..usually.

I have gotten 0/4 refunds

I think I got my sheep refund before the draw took place.

Got my deer refund last week but I'm much closer to the state.

Sorry sir, I needed the cash

Deer refund for my son and myself just showed up today. I will admit its nice getting a check in the mail. Time to go shopping

......still waiting on my refunds. Yall's names must start with A!

I have been called an A.. a time or two but the last name starts with an H. If yours shows up at my house I'll be sure and cash it for you.

Getting a little worried on sheep refund. Still in shock I didn't draw my Archery tag

Where you point heavy? Colorado sheep? Looks like OTC in Sept bud

Only OTC area in lower 48 I'm aware of is Montana Unlimited.

They finally added 31 to the NR list so I put in for the sole tag- Rifle but would use my bow.

I grew up in that basin, its also first place I ever ran into one hiking. I won't put in any other CO units now.

Been awhile, but arent many units still OTC archery, either sex tags? What I used to get way back, of course if your focused on the one unit, then the rest don't matter. I recall some where cow only in certain units, but I never hunted those that I recall.

Elk yes, Big horn is all draw.

I PP elk and mule deer. Hunt OTC elk and voucher on mule deer

I drew a cow and deer tag for second season!

How do you know this already? I went on the website and it says that the lottery is still in process.

Awwww, ok. The "backdoor method".....looks like a drew an archery muley tag!

10-4,,May be faster on the BH if you just go with a camera, or pony up for the guvnas raffle

I kilt the mess out of a nice one with a camera a cpl years ago.

To easy that's what tourists do on Weekends

Im not a sheep guy, could of killed a mess of them already if I had a tag. no hurry just want to be able to say I've killed elk, mule deer, bear and a sheep out of there.

You left out bullwinkle

Never seen one that far south. I had a stud at 65 yards in Idaho last year though.

I believe I'll be after bullwinkle up in Alaska next fall!

Thinking Alberta

Meh, go big or go home, Yukon baby!

I'm just a poor farmer,

Same thing I said when I was price checking Closest way I'll ever get a pass to go there, would be a cruise with the wife

An old friend of mine that made better career decisions goes up to fish every year and has done the fully guided moose hunt. About 6 months ago he told me he wanted to do the DIY deal but did not know anyone that would do it. I asked about the price he said he knew two different people that set people up (one with the raft 7 day deal, the other drops you in on a float) and that all we would have to do is get up there get out tags and that's it. He is a pilot and owns a flight school so they are buddies I guess.

I said sign me up

Got my refund for deer.. Now waiting to see what shows up for Elk....

Still havent gotten any!!!

That is odd, also odd ,my check had "Payable to BOBO" on it

iirc, the DOW site said all refunds would be mailed by the 23rd

Negative nada. About to call

I would, I had a deer refund check stolen a few years ago, dont think they ever caught who ever forged my name, was a big PITA though. Wasn't even sure if it was taken from my mailbox, or miss delivered or what.

It's CO fault!!! Holding on to that money up until last second. Interest baboons!!!!

NM is such a great process. AZ ain't bad either

I haven't either. It'll get there

CO is going to an internet system entirely next year.
Good news: much less headache.
Bad news: probably will increase participation and decrease draw odds.

I'm going back to tag service.

I think I've decided that I'm unofficially hunting grizzly in southern CO this year.

Well Jon, what did you find out? I received my deer refund, not a word on Elk yet....

Err, drew Elk for 1st.........

Refunds Starting to trickle in... congrats!!!

Hmm, not bad getting refunds right before fathers day ........

Congrats Western!!

He's always getting lucky!

Thanks fellas, was either use my luck on the 400 million $ powerball, or the elk tag

If you need someone to help carry that meat out.

Call someone else!

Wouldn't you want to see one up close?

Very glad I just swallowed my coffee before I read that one! Well played sir well played.

But either way I've been to cabelas.

Congratulations!

Thanks NP, just hope the weather treats the hills better this fall, weird hunting in a T shirt, but yet still hauling warm gear in the off chance it could be a blizzard by evening.

Cabelas?? You didn't help haul those either? SMh kids

FWIW, my wife helped me haul one out 2 miles one time, never made a complaint other than a few words I can't type on a family forum

So you're saying he can ride in the passenger seat?

If he can carry up to 205 lbs, heck yeah (may have to carry me out )

Also i heard them rascals stink.

Yes some can!

FINALLY!!!!!!!

WHUT?

Got my Elk tag Friday

Both of my refunds showed up on Friday. I think they were holding it for the vouchers to start showing up.

Ooooo, and a tad more % money. Friend of mine just went with a LO voucher, said it is the latest season he's ever seen for deer, near Turkey day!
