Jack I am glad you decided to go moose hunting, shoot a big one! :^) I am hoping that there are not too many folks with 15+ points that are considering Unit 61 because that could keep me from drawing.
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Dan,

 Actually, I was thinking I wanted to hunt 201 or 10 but it seems like I'm a point or two shy of drawing those. I really don't know anything about any of the units other than people telling me that some of the largest bulls come from those two units. I have heard a rumor that Colorado may go back to a points banking sytem next year and if that is the case I may be able to hunt in a good limited entry unit more than once in my lifetime. I felt it might be worth not applying this year and waiting to see if that happens.

I definitely understand where you are coming from Jack. I am in the same position but with one less point than you. Six years ago when I had 8 points some nonresidents drew Unit 10 with 9 points so I thought I would draw in short order. After the change in allocating nonresident licenses I am now further from drawing Unit 10 then I was 6 years ago. I am not concerning myself with the point banking thing because I have points in Utah, Wyoming and Montana so I have some other options for good elk hunts in other states.
