I haven't hunted with Flat top, but spoke with them about a hunt. If I was going to CO they would top of my list.

Thanks one other question. When you have points do you have to cash all in at once or can you apply some and retain the rest

All at once. If you have 4 elk points and draw a 1 point unit as your 1st choice, you lose all 4 points.

There is a least some talk of point banking in next 5 year structure. So it is possible come 2025 you could cash in some of your points. I don't see it as likely but possible.

Me and my son hunted with Forest this September. We had 1 pt and didn’t draw. He was able to get us in his otc unit. We had several opportunities even though the weather was ungodly hot . 1 bull and 1 bear taken . Great food and service. Pm me if you have any questions. Thanks Dax

The drop in tag numbers really changed things. If the majority of the 1 point NR guys that didn’t draw (425-62=363) put in for that unit again with two points, rather than the 189 NR with two points last year, I predict some disappointed 2 point holders….
