CO tag? - What is "10 BTP" and "10 SHC"

On my Colorado DOW deer and elk tags there is a space for 10/11 HIP, which I know to be "Harverst Information Program" number, and I have that from my small game license. But what is "10 BTP" and "10 SHC" and what should be filled in there?

Re: 180gr core lokt vs 165gr sst

Thanks for your reply and congratulations on your bull elk. You posting any pictures? I feel pretty good about my decision to go with the Core-Lokts. A comment about them being the leading bullet back in the day swayed me. While newer bullets are undoubtedly an improvement on older designs it's easy...

Re: 180gr core lokt vs 165gr sst

Great replies, thanks. I've sighted in for the 180 Core-Lokt. It seems to be the opinion of most that the Core-Lokt will do just fine, so as they are half the price it allowed me to shoot twice as much for the same cost. That, and the limb saver, let me put a lot of rounds down range at the weekend ...

Re: 180gr core lokt vs 165gr sst

165 on deer isn't the issue that most people have, but it's effectiveness on elk. Less drop = greater accuracy so better shot placement. All this I hear time and time again too, but when I mentioned I'm trying some 165gr with the friends I'm hunting with they all start sucking their teeth and mumbli...
