OK, I'd like to build points in Colorado to hunt a good unit some day. In the meantime I've seen some real nice bucks while hunting elk in an OTC unit. Is it possible to draw that tag as a second choice and keep my points? Never applied for mule deer before and the regs are confusing.

Open up the CDOW page and find the statistics link. You will be able to determine points required for different units.

If your bow hunting. There are a lot of good units you can draw with zero points as a first choice. I have drawn tags as second choice but its not a guarantee.

Yes if you draw as second, you gain a point for not drawing your first choice and keep your points. Research on the statistics page and find a unit you know you can't draw instead of the PP only choice. I've heard it doesn't matter but the one year I put in for a PP only, only option it would let me pick as second choice was a "B" list cow tag. Haven't tried it lately to know if that one time was a fluke or what.
