Previously, 10 wolves from Oregon were brought into Colorado in December 2023, another 15 from British Columbia in January 2025, so this is the time of year when CPW would like to release the next group of wolves ... but they can't find any. Our neighboring states (Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho)...

I handle Colorado for Eastmans. Shoot me a PM with as much detail as you can on what you're looking for. I'd do some research... then we can discuss.

I kinda like this change. Guys with a lot of points can still use them in the preference point half of the draw. And this way everyone has a chance at any hunt unit in the bonus draw. No system will ever make everyone happy, but this seems like a decent compromise.

It was a good presentation by the CPW Staff. The commisioners got wrapped around the axel trying decide what the new Preference Point fee should be, so they ask staff to go back and do a study to determine the proper amount.

During the March 5-6 meeting, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission reviewed staff recommendations on proposed regulations changes. After in-depth discussions, the Commissioners approved the following regulation to take effect in 2028. 1. Deer, Elk, Bear, Pronghorn & Turkey...

I agree.
