    Does it makes sense anymore?

    I have points in other states but with how I hunt hard to justify even putting in.. Or with the time it takes me to find a deer to hunt in Colorado I just don’t have time to waste on other states or species. I am a anomaly tho as w no tag - I find the deer first then the license to hunt the...

    It is a truth as more elk are testing positive around the NW/Flat tops units for cwd… Getting to be a issue Not good at all - from who I talked with they say it is getting to be a problem. The word mitigation was getting used.

    Colorado Survey

    I wonder if co and wyo worked together if we could get a 90-10 split in co and hunt wilderness in Wyoming while excluding all but wyo residents from wilderness here… 💰😂 Colorado needs to eliminate otc elk and change the process to anytime you hunt elk you burn your points. Tags for both...

    Colorado Secondary Draw

    There are returned tags on the list.. As others have mentioned unpaid tags also are on this list. In reality this is a youth lottery or a donation the cpw if you are a adult.. Good deal for a few youth but draw odds will still be looong.
