Updated Big Game
Regulations Summary
EFFECTIVE FOR 2024 BIG GAME SEASON

The Severe Winter Zone - License Reduction

In the winter of 2022-2023, the northwest corner of the state from Rangely to Steamboat
Springs and to the Wyoming state line experienced severe conditions, resulting in high elk and pronghorn
mortality. Because of the wildlife impacts observed on the ground, CPW has instituted unprecedented license
reductions and changes to licensing allocation within this severe winter zone.
Learn more about the 2022-2023 winter in Northwest Colorado and Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s response
in Colorado Outdoors online two-part story on the power of collaboration (cpw.info/power-collaboration) and
surviving today and after the snow melts.
These substantial changes and reductions should allow herds to recover as quickly as possible:

ELK

• Rifle Over-The-Counter: In the severe winter zone, rifle antlered licenses will be limited for hunting on

•

•

public lands in Data Analysis Unit (DAU) E-02 (GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 14, 214) and the following Game
Management Units (GMUs) within DAU E-06 (GMUs 11, 211, 12, 13, 131, 231, 23, 24).
Hunt codes EM003O2R, EM003O3R (GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 14, 214)
and EM011O2R, EM011O3R (GMUs 11, 211, 12, 13, 131, 231, 23, 24)
were created to allow for limited antlered rifle licenses for the 2nd and
3rd seasons for the 2024 and 2025 hunting seasons. These licenses would
be valid on public and private lands. Hunting of antlered elk on private
lands within this area will remain unlimited for the 2nd and 3rd seasons
with the existing unlimited antlered licenses (hunt codes EM000U2R and
EM000U3R) that are offered statewide.
Bear’s Ears (E-02): Due to the severity of this past winter and the high elk
mortality the Bear’s Ears herd suffered, all either-sex hunt codes within
DAU E-02 will be replaced with antlered only hunt codes. Hunt codes EM003O1R (valid in GMUs 3, 4,
5, 301, 441), EM003O4R (valid in GMUs 3, 301), EM004O4R (valid in GMUs 4, 441), and EM005O4R
(valid in GMU 5) were created to replace the old hunt codes EE003O1R, EE003O4R, EE004O4R, and
EE005O4R.
Ranching for Wildlife - Bear’s Ears (E-02) and White River (E-06): An antler point restriction will be
instituted for all antlered elk taken on Ranching For Wildlife properties located in the Bear’s Ears (E-02)
and White River (E-06) elk herds for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 hunting seasons.

PRONGHORN

The severity of the 2022-23 winter had significant impacts on the pronghorn population in DAU PH-09
(GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 13, 14, and 214). Doe pronghorn hunting for all methods of take in this area will be
closed for the 2024-2025 season.
PLEASE NOTE that license quotas will not be finalized until the May 2024 Commission
meeting after staff are finished analyzing data from population surveys.

“‘Tiney’ was a bull moose in GMU 6. He had become a camp legend because
of his wide frame and long tines. Tiney measured 44 1/2 inches wide and is
very symmetrical. He is a unique bull because his horns never developed the
pronounced palmation or paddle characteristic of bull moose. After a 6 1/2
hour stalk/pursuit covering 11 miles, Tiney was harvested.” -Cory Davern

“My hunt was early October in Northwest CO. We were surrounded by
animals all day every day. Finding big bulls was relatively easy, but
finding one that wasn’t broken up from rutting proved to be more
difficult. After passing up 12 to 15 large bulls I ended up taking this
one. Excellent hunting opportunity.” -Sean Rud © Erik Rud

�HUNT PLAN

PLANNING YOUR HUNT

Call 303-297-1192 for more help getting started!

This brochure will help you decide which big-game species you'd like to hunt, when and where you'd like to hunt, which method of take
you'd like to use and the requirements for getting your hunting license. It only takes a few steps to plan your hunt!

DO YOU HAVE YOUR HUNTER EDUCATION?

number before applying for the draw(s) or purchasing a hunting
license if you were born after Jan. 1, 1949. Remember that you must
carry proof of hunter education in the field when you hunt!
See pages 5–6 for additional license requirements and how to obtain
an apprentice certificate.

WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
Colorado offers 10 big-game species. This brochure
has hunting rules and options for deer (mule and
white-tailed), elk, pronghorn, moose and bear.
Pick the species and sex you're interested in hunting:
Page 11 has information that helps identify
different big-game animals.

Each year, a set (limited) number of licenses is allotted to each GMU.
You can apply for the big game draw(s) to get one of these limited
licenses, or after the draws are over, you can purchase a remaining
(leftover) limited license when they go on sale.
Some licenses for elk, pronghorn and bear are also available without
needing to enter the draw(s) and are not restricted in quantity
(unlimited). These can be purchased over the counter after they go on
sale online, by phone and in person at sales agents around the state.

READ THIS BROCHURE!
7 Now
that you have a plan, be sure to read through this brochure to

help you get your license and be prepared out in the field.
The first 19 pages have all of your basic hunting
information: new changes, license information, options and sales
dates, general information, hunting laws, application information
and deadlines, and how to read the hunt code tables.
Pages 20–67 break out each of the six big-game species in
this brochure into their own sections. Each section has speciesspecific regulation changes, season dates, how to get more than
one license and hunt code tables.
The last few pages, 68–73, provide a GMU map and detailed
descriptions of the GMU boundaries and specific land restrictions.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
3 Colorado
is divided into hunting areas called game management units
(i.e. GMUs). It's important that every hunter knows the boundaries of
their hunting area, including private land boundaries. Check out the
state map and unit descriptions in the back of this brochure or online:
cpw.info/maps

WHEN DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?

4 In general for deer, elk and bear hunting, archery season starts in early

GET THE LEAD OUT

Go to CDPHE.COLORADO.GOV/LEAD-HEALTH and click
“For the public” to see the factsheets on Lead in Harvested
Wild Game and Lead in Indoor Shooting and Firing Ranges.

Sept. and lasts almost a month. Muzzleloader season starts in the
middle of archery season, and four rifle seasons follow that.
The first rifle season is limited to elk and bear hunting only. The
second, third and fourth rifle seasons are for elk, bear and deer
hunters, who will be in the field at the same time.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HUNT WITH?
5 Colorado
has seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle/associated

methods hunting. “Associated methods” are shotguns, handguns,
muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40 caliber (.50 caliber for elk and
moose), hand-held bows and crossbows. Legal requirements for the various
methods and transporting them in the field are described in this brochure.

From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family and non-target
wildlife is important. Health risks due to lead poisoning from consuming game meat are low
for most people; however, switching to non-lead ammunition may be an option that’s right for
you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause potential human health problems over time.
Additionally, lead-based ammunition can cause adverse impacts on non-target wildlife
from lead ingestion while scavenging. Hunters themselves are conservationists, maintaining species populations and protecting habitats. By switching to non-lead ammunition, hunters can support wildlife by reducing the risk of lead poisoning to non-target
wildlife such as eagles and other raptors. For more information on risks to wildlife, visit
sportingleadfree.org/wildlife-human-health or huntingwithnonlead.org.

TO HELP REDUCE HUMAN AND WILDLIFE HEALTH IMPACTS, YOU CAN:

1. Use lead-free shot or bullets. There are many non-lead options now available.
2. Hunters who use lead ammunition should choose quality hunting-grade ammunition with a “bonded” or “partition” construction. Avoid frangible bullet types.
3. Use careful shot selection. Bullets that strike the lethal area (heart/lungs) are less likely
to fragment than bullets that strike more heavily boned areas.
4. Bury or pack out your lead-shot gut piles to avoid lead ingestion by non-target
wildlife.
5. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are
pregnant. Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

2024 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: PLANNING YOUR HUNT &amp; HUNTING LICENSE DEFINITIONS

�HUNT TERMS

HUNTING LICENSE TERMS &amp; DEFINITIONS
LICENSE TYPES

◆ Qualifying licenses: A current-year qualifying license is required in order
to apply for any of the big-game draws. See page 4 for more.

◆ Limited licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for

specific units and dates for each species, and are issued through an application and draw process.

LIMITED LICENSES INCLUDE:

Public land licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are valid
on all CPW-owned or leased public lands, private lands and most federal lands in the specific units listed on your license/in this brochure.
Private-land-only licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are
only valid on private lands in the specific GMUs listed on your license/
in this brochure. If your license hunt code has a “P” in the second-tolast part, it's valid on private land ONLY. For example: E-F-007-P5-R.
You MUST get landowner permission before applying for these licenses.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary draw.
They become the licenses eligible for the secondary draw, and any remaining licenses after the secondary draw become available as over-thecounter leftover limited licenses (see “leftover limited licenses” below).
Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses: Licenses that are available on certain
ranch properties for Colorado residents only. See: cpw.info/rfw
Season choice licenses: Licenses that let you hunt in any or all of the seasons
(archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle/associated methods) in specified units
with the correct method of take until your license is filled. These licenses
are available for deer and bull or either-sex moose only. See pages 32 and 61.

◆ Over-the-counter (OTC) licenses: Licenses (unlimited, unlimited add-on

bear and leftover limited) that are available without having to go through
the draw(s). They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do
not use preference points and may be purchased any time before and
during a season. They're available at over 650 sales agents around the
state, including CPW offices and state parks, online, or by phone.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES INCLUDE:

Unlimited licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in quantity by CPW. You
may purchase these licenses when over-the-counter licenses go on sale.
“Unlimited” does not mean you can purchase an unlimited number of
licenses: See the “List A, B &amp; C” definition at top right.
Add-on bear licenses: If you have an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license, you can purchase an OTC bear license for the same method
of take. At least one hunting unit must overlap on both licenses.
NEW Add-on rifle licenses are available this year if you have an
E-E-061-E1-R license. See the deer &amp; elk hunt tables for available
hunts (look for the bear paw symbol), pages 20 &amp; 35, &amp; “Bear,” page 66.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary or
secondary draws go on the Leftover List. Reissued licenses (see “reissues,”
bottom right and page 8) also go onto the list. These are available for
purchase in person, online or at sales agents starting on leftover day.

◆ Landowner preference program (LPP) vouchers: The LPP encour-

ages private landowners to provide habitat for the benefit of wildlife
populations and to relieve hunting pressure on public lands. Deer, elk
and pronghorn vouchers are allocated to landowners who meet certain
qualifications. Applications are drawn during the primary draw, and successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The voucher is transferred directly to a hunter, who then purchases a
license to hunt. See page 7 and cpw.info/LPP.

BIG GAME DRAWS
Primary draw: The first, main big-game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

Secondary draw: This draw replaces the big-game leftover draw from past

years and includes deer, elk, pronghorn and bear. Applicants can apply
for the secondary draw whether or not they applied for the primary
draw. Preference points are not used or awarded in this draw.

LIST
LIST A, BB &amp;&amp;CC

List A, B &amp; C: All big-game hunting

licenses are either List A, B or
C, as indicated in the hunt code
tables (see image at right ▶) or
next to most of the OTC maps.
The List types exist so that you
know if you can get more than
one license for the same species:
Sample rifle deer table, page 27
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A
license and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as
well as one List A license and one List B license, or two List B licenses =
A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.

PREFERENCE
POINTS
PREFERENCE POINTS
Preference points: Preference points help hunters to be successful in future
primary draws because points add up per species until an applicant
draws a first-choice license. One preference point is awarded to each
applicant who qualifies for and DOES NOT draw their first-choice limited
license for deer, elk, pronghorn or bear in the primary draw, or who
applies using a specific preference-point hunt code that gets them a
preference point only as their first choice.

Weighted preference points: For moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep

and mountain goat, applicants with at least three preference points will
be awarded a weighted preference point in subsequent draws and will be
given weighted preference during the license draw. See page 9 and
cpw.info/weighted-preference for more details.

OTHER
DEFINITIONS
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Carcass tag: The bottom portion of a hunting license, to be signed, removed
and kept with the carcass ONLY after harvesting the animal. See page 16.
CWD: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that
attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose, and has been found in several
regions in the state. In 2024, CPW will require mandatory submission of
CWD test samples for deer from certain hunt codes. See pages 13 and 20.
Float groups: When the quota — or number of licenses available — is assigned to a group of hunt codes, rather than just one, that is considered a
float group. If you draw or purchase a hunt code in a float group, you may
exchange that hunt code for another hunt in that group for a fee as long
as your season hasn't started.
GMU: Huntable areas are broken down into units called “game management
units.” These units help you decide where you'd like to hunt. See the GMU
map on the inside back cover.
Method of take: Colorado has hunting seasons based on archery, muzzleloader, and rifle and associated methods. “Associated methods” are shotguns,
handguns, muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40 caliber (.50 caliber
for elk and moose), hand-held bows and crossbows. See table on page
14 for details on which method you can use to hunt each of the big-game
species in this brochure.
Refunds: You can get a refund OR have your preference points restored for a
big-game license that you draw. You must return the license to CPW at
least 30 days before the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Reissues: Most limited licenses that have been returned will be made available to other hunters through a reissue process. Returned limited licenses
that took 5 or more preference points to draw will be offered to the next
applicant in line, up to 5 applicants. Those that took 4 or fewer preference
points to draw will be available to the public on the Leftover List.
Exchanges: You can exchange a license, as long as the license you want to get
is for a hunt code for the same species as the current license and there is
quota remaining (except for float groups and some unlimited licenses).
In most cases, you can exchange from an OTC license to a limited license
of the same species and vice versa. Note that there are no refunds or
preference point restorations available on exchanged licenses. The fee to
exchange is $5. Once a season starts, an exchange is no longer available.

NONRESIDENT LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number
of preference points an adult Colorado resident needed to draw
a specific license on average during the previous three limited
license draws with a 1-year lag (the 2024 draw allocation will
be determined by the 2020, 2021, and 2022 limited draws).
For more information, read the CPW Big Game Hunting
License Distribution FAQ or subscribe to our Hunting eNews
for the latest information: cpw.state.co.us
1. For elk, deer, pronghorn or bear (previously only elk or deer)
hunt codes that required six or more points for an adult
Colorado resident to draw, up to 20 percent of the licenses
may go to nonresidents. These hunts are designated in unit
tables by a + under the SEX column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for an
adult Colorado resident to draw an elk, deer, pronghorn or
bear license, up to NEW 25 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain
after all Colorado resident first choices have been drawn for
that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and
Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and
nonresidents, all nonresidents in the group will count
against the nonresident allocation; if all nonresident allocation is gone, the group will not draw.
6. Units with low numbers of available licenses may not have
any remaining for nonresidents after resident licenses are
drawn.

behalf of any landowner or person, or use or possess any brokered voucher.
3. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even if the voucher
has not been redeemed for a license.

�PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED PER SPECIES APPLIED FOR
to hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a
license for a first-choice hunt code in the primary draw for biggame species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code (see below).

Preference points are only used during the primary draw,
they do not apply for the secondary draw.
2. YOUTH AGES 12–17 can apply for a point. Youth age 11 can also apply
for a point, provided they turn 12 in 2024.
3. PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE: You can gain a preference point
as a first choice on your application to use another year; specific
preference-point hunt codes are listed at the beginning of each
species section in this brochure. You can also choose other hunt
codes as your second, third or fourth choices. Do not submit a
separate application for preference points, or both applications will
be disqualified.
4. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated
preference points for that species become void and return to zero.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an
applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a
license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all
accumulated preference points for that species become void.
6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the license
quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded, and except for the
hybrid draw. See page 19 for hybrid draw information and hunt codes.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the
fewest points. See “Apply as a Group for Hunts” at:
cpw.info/apply-for-group-hunts
8. SECOND-, THIRD-, FOURTH-CHOICE, over-the-counter, leftover limited
licenses and the secondary draw don’t use or generate points.
9. PREFERENCE POINT FEE: The preference point fee does not apply to
deer, elk, pronghorn or bear. See right for details on the preference
point fee for moose, Rocky Mtn. bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW
account: Go to cpw.info/buy-apply
11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN HUNTERS.
Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt codes, sex,
unit(s), season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim
Colorado as their home of residence and are deployed outside the
U.S. are eligible, when they return home, to apply for preference
points for any primary draws they missed while deployed.
Applications will be available at the end of July.

See the draw application and preference point flowchart online:

cpw.info/qualifying-licenses

PREFERENCE POINT FEE

▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat have a preference and weighted preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your
first choice hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth and resident lifetime
license holders. Residents who are in the military on active duty outside of
Colorado can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the preference point fee while
filling out your draw application(s), and therefore will not be charged the
fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point for 2024. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on file will be charged after
the draw. The application fee, $12.15 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be charged, we will email you.
If you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 14), you will forfeit your
preference point for 2024.

WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
1. There are three species of big-game animals that use the weighted
preference point system to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to
both male and female licenses.
3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points for moose, Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep and mountain goat. If you have three preference points and
you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then dividing that
new application number by the number of weighted points you have,
plus one. Individuals with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. Go to cpw.info/weighted-preference for more details.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY.
LEAVE NO TRACE!
The LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES are the best way to minimize your impact
while hunting:
▶ PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
▶ TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not
made. Use existing sites whenever possible.
▶ DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out. All trash including food
scraps and toilet paper.
▶ LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use
signs for target practice. Clean all gear between trips.
▶ MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash or food in the fire pit.
▶ RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals; store your camp food and trash
securely.
▶ BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be
courteous and welcoming to others you see.
The LNT Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state
game and hunting laws, and encourages all hunters to put Leave No Trace skills and ethics into
action on every hunt. This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership with
the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information, visit: LNT.org

OTHER HUNT CODE TABLE SYMBOLS

1. A SQUARE BULLET ( ■ ) in the UNIT column indicates there is a special note
about that unit, displayed below the hunt code information.
2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for which an average of at
least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that license. This is
only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn. These calculations are based on a rolling 3-year average for the previous three limited license
10 draws, with a 1-year lag. See “Nonresident License Allocations” on page 5.

2024 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; GENERAL INFORMATION

Sample rifle deer table, page 27
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes
within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you'll look next to locate the game management unit (GMU) you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully.
Some licenses are valid in one unit only, while others are valid in multiple
units. This column also indicates which hunts offer add-on bear licenses in
the over-the-counter deer and elk archery, muzzleloader and rifle tables:
Look for the bear paw symbol!
3. THE VALID GMUs COLUMN will display information for each hunt and
whether it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit
before you hunt.
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the
VALID GMUs column will list all the game management units (GMUs)
where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the
chart will read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt.
4. THE DATES COLUMN lists the applicable season/hunt dates when the license
is valid. Each unit may have multiple hunt dates, so please read carefully.
5. THE SEX COLUMN indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that
specific hunt code. Read the information carefully because the sex of an
animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE COLUMN displays the code you will use to apply for
the license you want. There are many possible hunt codes associated with
each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted, so
please read carefully. See section at left on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST COLUMN displays what type of license you are buying. There are
opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as
the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C.
For details, see the “List A, B &amp; C: Get More Than One License” charts
under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure
pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application.
NOTE: You may submit one application for each species, per draw, per year.
For each application, you may fill in up to 4 hunt code choices.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from white-tailed.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Field dress the animal, then call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office
nearest to you, listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s
most responsible plan of action.

Check out the “Colorado's Big-Game Species” video! See how to identify our 10 big-game species: vimeo.com/478718115
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

2024 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half
hour after sunset, unless specifically restricted. Go to gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc
to pinpoint the sunrise/sunset time for your hunting location.

GUIDES &amp; OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They
also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of
Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202; 303-8947778; or dpo.colorado.gov/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide invaluable
resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the
above office or the Colorado Outfitters Association online: coloradooutfitters.org

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
▶ HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

Hunters must wear at least 500 square inches of solid fluorescent orange or
pink material and a fluorescent orange or pink hat, visible from all angles,
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm license.
Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged, though not
required, to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery
and muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. See page 15 for
more details.

▶ HUNTER EDUCATION CARD

Your hunter education card must be carried while hunting, unless it is
verified and your license is marked with a “V.” To get your hunter education
card verified, take your hunter education card to a CPW office or state park.

▶ CARCASS TAGS

Be sure to sign and detach your carcass tag from your hunting license
directly AFTER you harvest your animal, and make sure you attach it to your
take properly. See page 16 for all the information you need on carcass tags.

▶ OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHVs)

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on
public lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route
must have a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31. OHV permits
(applicable for nonresidents and street-legal/plated vehicles) are available online
at cpw.info/ohv-permit, at CPW locations and sales agents. Questions,
call 303-297-1192. Renewal registrations are available online and at CPW
locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person or by mail.
Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

▶ MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location
of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for
hunters who harvest a moose or bear, as these species require
mandatory inspections. See pages 58 (moose), 63 (bear) and page
13. During mandatory inspections, hunters will be instructed to
give a location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes
reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude
and latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the
check report form during harvest inspections.

▶ HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30
days before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia
within a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection
before transportation. Call the brand inspector: 303-869-9160

▶ EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

�GENERAL

HOW TO HELP OUT CPW
HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days. Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or email, asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal
and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding (even if you didn’t hunt or harvest) is an important part of setting future seasons and license numbers. If contacted, you
can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free
phone number 1-855-924-4278. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct.
through mid-Feb. See the CPW website for details: cpw.state.co.us

HERD MANAGEMENT: YOUR INPUT IS WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a
herd management plan review process during which CPW updates management objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population
size and the ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence
decisions about how many licenses of each type can be made available in
any given year.
Every plan update allows for public comment and review. CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about how
big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these important
opportunities to have your voice heard.
Information about current plans and opportunities to inform plan
updates are available on our webpage. You can also receive notices by
signing up for CPW's Insider email list from our webpage. Find herd
management plan info: cpw.info/hmp

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

The TIPs program awards licenses and preference points to eligible
persons that report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of
big game or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal

take, possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the
charging officer of your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.info/tips for
the criteria to qualify for a preference point or license, or contact CPW for
details at 303-297-1192.

MANDATORY INSPECTIONS &amp; REPORTS FOR MOOSE &amp; BEAR
MOOSE: Hunters must personally present the head and lower jaw of antlered
moose with antlers attached, and either the head and lower jaw OR an incisor of antlerless moose to a CPW office (listed on inside front cover) during
normal business hours within 5 working days of harvest for a mandatory
inspection. The inspection will include a mandatory report and lower incisor extraction. Heads must be unfrozen.
Additionally, all moose license holders must complete and return a
mandatory report provided by CPW within 30 days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does not complete and return it, including those
who were unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point. See “Mandatory Moose Inspections,” page 58.
BEAR: Hunters must personally present their bear head and hide to any
CPW office (listed on inside front cover) during normal business hours
within 5 working days of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a mandatory report, sealing and premolar tooth extraction. Heads and hides must be unfrozen. See “Mandatory Bear Inspections
&amp; Seals,” page 63, for more.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
CPW property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, 303-869-9031; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

1

WHAT IS IT?

2

WHERE IS IT?

3

MANDATORY TESTING 2024

4

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated,
display abnormal behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show
no signs of illness.

CWD has been found in several regions in Colorado, as well as other states and
provinces. For deer, infection rates tend to be highest in prime-aged mature
bucks. See the CWD prevalence maps for deer and elk on pages 21 and 37.

In 2024, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt codes
to better evaluate the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge
for mandatory testing. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for
mandatory CWD testing. Find the hunt codes selected for mandatory
testing on pages 22–32.

If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer or elk has CWD, they can submit their animal's head and
pay a testing fee of $25. In 2024, testing fees for voluntary submissions will
be waived for all moose statewide and all deer from hunt codes that were
not selected for mandatory testing but are within the same GMUs that
were selected for mandatory testing (see list of GMUs on page 22). Voluntary
submissions are accepted annually statewide.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
Disease in humans resulting from CWD
exposure has not been reported to date.
However, public health officials cannot
determine there is no risk from eating meat
from infected animals. Consequently, officials
recommend that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected
animals. Please see the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment website (cdphe.colorado.gov/animalrelated-diseases/prion-diseases) for the most current
recommendations on carcass testing and other preventive
measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public
health officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume
any deer, elk or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be
sick. When field-dressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw to cut through the brain or spinal
cord (backbone). Minimize contact with brain or spinal cord
tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always wash hands and
utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing game meat.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
Find complete regulations online: cpw.info/regulations

THE TOP 10 MOST COMMON HUNTING VIOLATIONS IN COLORADO:
1. TRESPASSING. Going onto private lands without getting permission first

while hunting, fishing or performing any related activity is illegal. Private
lands do not need to be posted or fenced, so it can be difficult to see
boundaries. Violators may be suspended for up to 5 years for trespassing. This includes State Land Board properties not leased and signed by
CPW, unless permission is given by the lessee.
You must have permission from the landowner to enter private land to
retrieve a harvested animal. First, you should try to contact the landowner
on your own. If that effort fails, call the local CPW office (inside front cover).

2. Failing to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you shoot at,
wound or may have wounded. Including immediately going to the location
where wildlife was located when it was fired upon. Remember that it's
against the law to pursue wounded wildlife that goes on private property
without first obtaining permission from the landowner or person in
charge. You must still attempt to gain permission to enter and locate the
animal.

3. Failing to reasonably dress, care for, prepare and provide edible wildlife meat
for human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and

backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible meat.

4. Hunting without a proper license. Anyone who hunts wildlife must have

in their possession the appropriate and valid Colorado resident or
nonresident license that includes their Customer Identification (CID)
number, and must only harvest wildlife of the species and type indicated
on the license.

5. Mistakenly killing wildlife. You must field dress and report big-game

animals unintentionally killed, not due to carelessness or negligence, to
a CPW office (inside front cover) (or the local Sheriff 's office after CPW
regular hours) before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. CPW
evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of
animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed
does not count toward annual bag limits.

6. Not showing evidence of sex. Be sure to leave evidence of sex naturally

attached to the carcass. Evidence includes the head, the vulva or the scrotum. See “Evidence of Sex” on page 16 for more details.

7. Carrying loaded firearms while in or on any motor vehicle. Firearms must be

unloaded in the chamber. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded
if the percussion cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is
removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronicignition muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle; the chamber must be
unloaded or the battery must be disconnected and removed from its compartment. Most accidents involving firearms occur in or near vehicles.

8. Carrying loaded firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear seasons. Firearms (except handguns) must be un-

loaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or
their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on
property they own or lease.

9. Improperly voiding and/or attaching a carcass tag. You must sign and detach

the carcass tag from your hunting license immediately following taking
your animal. It is illegal to sign or tear the carcass tag before harvest. The tag
must also be attached to the animal properly. See “Carcass Tags,” page 16.

10. Shooting from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow.

People firing a bow, rifle, handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be at
least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.

FELONY OFFENSES:
If convicted of a felony violation, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
▶ To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
▶ To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
▶ To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.

HUNTING LAWS

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK
HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK DURING CERTAIN HUNTING SEASONS.
The law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight
fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material on an outer garment above
the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm
license. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or head covering, visible from all
directions, is also required. Camouflage orange or pink does not qualify. Mesh
garments are legal but not recommended. This includes all muzzleloader
hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle seasons.
Archers hunting during the limited Sept. rifle bear season, archers with an
archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, and archers licensed for
private land hunting through the Ranching for Wildlife program do not have
to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but should consider wearing it to increase
safety while in the field. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to
wear orange or pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display
orange or pink that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
CPW RECOMMENDS WEARING FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK CLOTHES IN THE FIELD,
EVEN IF NOT HUNTING. Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery and
muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. Wearing orange or
pink is for hunter safety, as big-game animals don’t see these colors like we do:
Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.
IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
▶ Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life
or property.
▶ Hunt outside of legal hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour
after sunset).
▶ Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey
to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects;
making movements; harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers
to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire.
Violators face prosecution and may have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
▶ Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
▶ Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and
cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased,
not unstrung.
▶ Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or
aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
▶ Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same day or day
after a flight was made to find wildlife.
▶ For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law or regulation.
▶ Use computer-assisted remote technology (any device, equipment or software used
to remotely control a weapon, including the Internet) to hunt or fish. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting/ fishing.
▶ Use unmanned or remote-control drones to look for, scout or detect wildlife.
▶ Use live-action game cameras to locate, surveil, or aid/assist in locating/surveiling
game wildlife in order to take/try to take wildlife during the same or following day.
“Live-action game camera” is any device capable of recording and transmitting
photographic/video data wirelessly to a remote device (such as a computer or smart
phone). This doesn't include game cameras that record photographic/video data
and store such data for later use, as long as the device cannot transmit data wirelessly.
▶ Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
▶ Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
▶ Fail to extinguish a campfire completely.
▶ Party hunt (i.e. harvest someone else’s game or let someone harvest yours).
▶ Use dogs. A leashed dog may be used as an aid in locating/recovering wounded biggame animals, except for black bears, with purchase of annual tracking permit.
▶ Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the
bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for
normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like
food are illegal for bears.
▶ Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
▶ Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters.
Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be erected on CPW
land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season during which they will be used.
No nails can be driven into trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands must
be removed within 10 days after the season they are used in ends. The owner’s CID
number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable blinds or underside
of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not reserve them for personal
use: They may be used on first-come, first-served basis.

�HUNTING LAWS

LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes,
including felony offenses and domestic violence-related offenses, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been convicted of a crime, check
with the appropriate Colorado and federal law enforcement authority to find
out how these laws apply to you.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by Child Support Enforcement.

BAG LIMITS
1. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally take of each species. Big game taken in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the
maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
2. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
3. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your
big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a
small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does
not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS
▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals
you harvest per instructions on tag. Tags
must be signed, dated and detached from
the license immediately upon harvest. See
image at right for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the
carcass (not to detached hides, horns or
antlers carried separately) immediately
prior to and during transportation in any
vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence
or other place of storage. If carcass is in
pieces, it is recommended to attach carcasss tag to the piece with evidence of sex
naturally attached. Tags must stay on until
meat is processed and remain with meat
until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and
attached to the species lawfully taken or
killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign the tag before harvesting an animal.
▶Do not remove any parts of a license except
the carcass tag only after harvest. Doing
so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate. The upper part of the license
must be kept by whoever harvested the
animal.
▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license is valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as
16 the rest of the license is intact.

sample hunting license

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone else
made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must
accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag
or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place
for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to
have CWD.
6. See page 36 of the “Elk” section for antler-point restrictions.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Carcass tag portion of license
Detach and sign the carcass tag only
AFTER harvesting your animal.
You must then attach the tag to the
carcass (not to the head or antlers).

2024 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS &amp; YOUTH HUNTING

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of
kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form
required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and
recipient are subject to bag and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a
license for exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s
license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

�YOUTH HUNTS

YOUTH HUNTING

BIG-GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTH

Youth AGES 12–17 who meet hunter education
requirements (see page 6) have the opportunity to
hunt big game in several ways: through the draw(s)
or over the counter for regular seasons for deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear; during the youth extended
season for female deer, elk or pronghorn; and
through youth outreach licenses.
AGE REQUIREMENTS:
▶ Youth ages 12–17 are offered reduced-cost
licenses for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear.
▶ At age 11, youth may buy or apply for a license if
they will turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youth cannot hunt with the license until
they turn 12.
▶ Youth who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
extended season hunt. Youth hunting rules still
apply, even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
▶ Youth must be 12–17 at time of purchase to buy a
youth unlimited or leftover license.
▶ In order to receive a reduced-cost license and/or
youth preference in the draw, youth must be 17
or younger at the time of application.
▶ Youth hunters 12–15 years old must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also
meets hunter education requirements. Youth and
mentors must be able to see and hear each other
while hunting. Mentors can hunt only if they
have a current license valid for the same units
and dates the youth will be hunting.

THE DRAW(S): YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE

▶ A minimum of 15 percent of limited licenses for
doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex deer,
and antlerless elk for each GMU shall be available
for youth ages 12–17 who meet hunter education
requirements (see page 6).
These licenses are available by draw for all
seasons and methods of take, including early
and late rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn by

Deer, elk, pronghorn and bear opportunities for hunters ages 12–17
youth are available to the public. The Air Force
Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife hunts are
excluded from this.
▶ Group applications are not accepted.
▶ GMUs 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551 have youth preference set at 50 percent for all antlerless deer
licenses in those GMUs, if applicable.
▶ A new private-land-only antlerless white tailed
deer hunt code D-F-006-P5-R will have a youth
preference set at 50%.
▶ If youth enter more than one hunt code on their
application, ALL HUNT CODES must be youthpreference-eligible hunt codes (doe pronghorn,
antlerless or either-sex deer, and antlerless elk)
and/or youth-only hunt codes (such as D-F043-K2-R or E-E-851-K2-R).
▶ Youth receive preference on ALL HUNT CODES available in the secondary draw.

YOUTH EXTENDED SEASON

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
▶ Youth must have an unfilled limited antlerless
deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license after
their original season ends. Then they may participate in any open rifle antlerless deer or elk hunt
that begins after the last day of the season listed
on their original license. (Does not include Ranching for Wildlife.) See pronghorn rules on page 19.
Youth may hunt in the areas specified on the
maps (pages 18–19), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
▶ Youth can now easily convert their unfilled
limited either-sex elk or either-sex pronghorn
license (where the season has ended) to a female
(antlerless) license through the new online

original license to a CPW location to have it
converted to an antlerless license before hunting
any extended seasons.
▶ Youth must follow all applicable regulations
for any hunts and units they select during the
extended season, including season dates and
geographic restrictions.
▶ Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses and
either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not be
converted for extended youth hunting.

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license (see
“Purchasing and Converting Licenses” to the right) — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle
hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure, except
for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 18, and there
must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.
To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 18 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the
rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle
season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

DEER EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and unfilled antlered
and either sex deer licenses may not
be used to participate in the program.
Limited either-sex elk licenses must be
converted to antlerless licenses, either
through the online Youth Extended
Hunt License Conversion Request form
(cpw.info/youth-hunting) or at a
CPW office, and are only valid to hunt
and take antlerless elk after doing so.

FOR EXAMPLE: (see elk map at bottom left)

ELK EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during archery season and converts their unfilled
license (see options above).
■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online at
cpw.info/youth-hunting.

■ If the youth wishes to continue hunting
in unit 49, they may hunt Oct. 26–Nov.
3, Nov. 9–15 or Nov. 20–24. They may
also hunt in units 57 or 58 from Oct.
12–16, Oct. 26–Nov. 3, Nov. 9–15 or
Nov. 20–24, or on private land only during the late season, Oct. 1–Jan. 31, 2025.
Why Oct. 1? The original archery season
(Sept. 2–30) must be over before the
youth can begin hunting the late rifle

HYBRID DRAW BEAR, DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN
To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply.

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS

Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the hybrid draw must meet the
following criteria and choose from the
hunt codes listed at right as their first
choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of
five preference points for the species
they wish to hunt to participate in the
hybrid drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually;
group applications are not accepted.
3. Hunt codes that contain a W are
Ranching for Wildlife properties.
These hunts are for Colorado residents only.

HOW IT WORKS

Hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (based on
a rolling 3-year average for the previous three limited license draws with a 1-year
lag), up to 20 percent of the available licenses may be issued through a random
drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the hybrid draw.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the hybrid draw will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the hybrid draw lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one
point.

be aware that hunt codes with an asterisk (*) had a low number of available licenses in
previous years and may not have licenses available for the hybrid draw in 2024.

▶ NEW GMU 431 ADDED TO DEER HUNT CODES VALID IN

and new hunting area boundaries for both units. See
pages 23–32. See new boundary descriptions, starting
on page 69.

61: Archery and muzzleloader seasons for deer (and
archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons for elk). See
pages 23, 25 &amp; 66.

▶ MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING
IN SELECT GMUs: In 2024, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples (heads) from all
deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt
codes. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for
mandatory CWD testing. See pages 1, 13 and 22 for
more details. Get more information about where and
how to submit a CWD sample at cpw.info/cwd.
Hunt codes selected for mandatory deer testing are
highlighted on pages 22–31 of this section.

▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADDON OVER-THE-COUNTER ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER
OR RIFLE BEAR LICENSE! Some NEW rifle (GMU

20

61 early Oct. season only), archery and
muzzleloader bear licenses are available in
unlimited numbers as add-on licenses only:
You can add on one of these bear licenses if
you have a deer or elk license for the same
method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt
code tables for deer (pages 23–32) and archery,
muzzleloader and rifle tables for elk (pages 42–52),
and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for
the available add-on OTC bear license hunts. Note
that for some unit groupings, not every unit is
valid for adding on an OTC bear license. Check
the unit information in the tables carefully! Also
see page 66 of the “Bear” section.
Go to cpw.info/bear-hunts and check out the full
list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and
hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

These licenses are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ LIST C: You may purchase as many List C licenses per year that you’d like, in addition to any other licenses you hold.
These are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ EXAMPLE: If you get a List B license in the primary draw, you can get either a List A or List B license in the secondary draw, and
multiple List C licenses as leftover or over-the-counter licenses.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter
D-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as
a first choice on your primary draw
application to use another year. You
can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may only submit
one application per species, per draw,
per year. Note that the secondary
draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for
moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have
a preference point fee. The application fee, $12.15 Habitat Stamp and
qualifying license are nonrefundable.
See page 9.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. White-tailed and mule
deer. See pages 11 and 33.
▶ BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long. There are no antler-point restrictions for
deer.
▶ DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers.
Antlerless can also mean a young male with antlers
less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for
which an average of at least six preference points are
needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn. Now calculated by the number of
preference points an adult Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license on average during the previous 3 limited license draws, with a one year lag.

WHITE-TAILED ONLY

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES: LATE RIFLE

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed deer
in the area, and hunters can expect to see more
mule deer than white-tailed deer when hunting
in these GMUs.

WHERE ARE THE WHITE-TAILED FOUND IN THIS
SEASON?

SEASON DATES: Dec. 1–31

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be most
commonly found along lower-elevation river
bottoms.

LICENSES: Either Sex
LIST: B

Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding white-tailed
deer. Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission is
required prior to hunting.

LICENSE AGENTS ONLY: D-E-048-U6-R
VALID UNITS:
48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140, 481, 511, 561,
581, 591, 691, 851 except Bosque del Oso SWA, 861

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE CAN I USE?

These licenses are sold only at CPW offices and state
parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more
information about white-tailed identification when a
license is purchased. These are unlimited in number
and go on sale starting at 9 a.m. on AUG 6.

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange or
pink requirements (see page 15), regardless of
the type of weapon used.

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

Some public properties prohibit the use of
rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property
regulations to determine what types of weapons are legal before going afield.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

White-tailed are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITE-TAILED VS. MULE DEER

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?
Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip
▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males

Hunters must be certain of their target to avoid
killing a mule deer with a white-tailed-only
license.

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of
this brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area. See the “Hunting Laws” section on
page 15 for more details.

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER OR RIFLE BEAR LICENSE! Some NEW rifle (GMU 61

early Oct. season only) archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available
in unlimited numbers as add-on licenses only: You can add on one
of these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for the same
method of take and at least one unit overlaps. Check the archery
and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–32) and the
archery, muzleloader and rifle tables for elk (pages 42–52), and
the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for the available add-on OTC
bear license hunts. Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is
valid for adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in
the tables carefully! Also see page 66 of the “Bear” section.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for which an average of a least six
preference points are needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license. This
is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn. Now calculated by the number of preference points an adult Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license on average during the previous 3 limited license
draws, with a one year lag.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 11.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5 inches long.

See "Antler Point Restrictions" on page 36 and online at:
cpw.info/hunting-resources-in-the-field
▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers. "Antlerless" can also mean
a young male with antlers less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal bull or cow.

OTHER HUNTS
SAN LUIS VALLEY REFUGE ELK PERMITS

The USFWS allows a maximum of 5 elk hunters to access and hunt on
the Alamosa (GMU 83) and Monte Vista (GMU 80) National Wildlife
Refuges at any one time. The application and draw process creates a
hunter list for each season, identifying the first 5 hunters and the position of the others on the list. As elk are harvested, hunters from the list
are given permits to hunt.
To be eligible for an access permit and before they submit their application, hunters must hold an elk license that is valid for the season
and refuge for which they wish to apply. The following seasons are
open to permitted hunting on each of these refuges: archery; muzzleloader; first rifle; second rifle; third rifle; fourth rifle.
To be entered into the drawing, starting the day after leftover licenses
go on sale, eligible hunters must email montevista.wildlife@state.co.us.
Hunters will receive an automatic email response with a link to the Refuge Access Permit Application Form. Hunters will then need to provide
certain information to apply: name, phone number and email address;
the hunt code for the license with which they wish to hunt; and their CID
number.
Hunters will need to complete the application form and select the
correct refuge for which their license is valid in order to be entered.
Applications will be accepted for 5 days, starting the day after leftover license day. Permits for the refuges will be issued via email after a random
drawing held under the direct supervision of the Area Wildlife Manager
and no later than August 25 annually.

BACA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

The Baca National Wildlife Refuge (GMU 82) is open to hunters who
have purchased a valid, regular season, public land elk license for GMU
82. Contact the Monte Vista office for refuge-specific rules and information: montevista.wildlife@state.co.us

attached, must accompany the carcass of bulls
in camp or in transit, even when the scrotum

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game
meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health
department or CPW office for information on wildlife
diseases where they plan to hunt. Public health officials
recommend the following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found
dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW
office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol
wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use.
Use hot soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent
chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices
from adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

All cow-only and season choice seasons have new hunts
available in available in GMUs 39 and 46 in Mount Evans
Wilderness Area, GMU 49 in Buffalo Peaks Wilderness
Area and GMU 501 in Lost Creek Wilderness. See the
hunt code tables on pages 59–61.

LIST A, B &amp; C: GET MORE THAN ONE MOOSE LICENSE
All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables (see
table example below). The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same
species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license,
or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See the chart below for your options of getting more than one moose license!

▶ NEW NONRESIDENT COW-ONLY ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER &amp;
RIFLE LICENSES ADDED IN GMU 66: See page 60.
▶ NEW GMU 43 SPLIT TO CREATE NEW GMU 431: See pages 60–61.

Some moose habitat occurs on private land, so be sure to
get landowner permission before hunting.

▶ THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered moose is one. All

licenses available by draw. If you’ve harvested a bull, you
may not apply for an antlered or either-sex license.

DON’T FORGET!

You can exchange your moose license for a different method of take
within the same unit. Take your tag to a CPW location to exchange
it to hunt in a different season. The exchange fee still applies: $5 flat
fee (formerly 50 percent of the cost of the license, not to exceed $25)

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must complete and
return a mandatory report provided by CPW within 30
days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does
not complete and return it, including those who were
unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a
future moose license or point.

Sample archery moose table, page 59

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR.
Additional licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over-the-counter or special

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE; PREFERENCE POINT FEE; WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
▶ To apply for a preference point only, enter M-P999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code on your
application. You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second choice
on the same application to apply for a license.
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat have a preference and weighted
preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your first choice hunt, you’ll
be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth
and resident lifetime license holders. Residents who
are in the military on active duty outside Colorado
can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out your draw
application(s), and therefore will not be charged
the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or
weighted point for 2024. This includes if you

apply for a preference point hunt code as your
first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on
file will be charged after the draw. The application fee, $12.15 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be
charged, you will get an email notification. If
you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 14),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2024.
For more, see “Preference Points” on page 9.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE WEIGHTED
PREFERENCE POINTS:
1. There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability
of drawing and applies to both male and female
licenses.

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different,
random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS &amp; SEALS

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!

Hunters must personally present their
bear head and hide to any CPW office
(see inside front cover) during normal
business hours, or by appointment with
a CPW officer, for a free inspection,
check report and sealing within five
working days after harvest.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection.
Seals must be attached to the hide until
tanned.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If
the head and hide are frozen, CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that
a tooth can be removed. Hunters can
help by making sure the jaw is propped

There are multiple ways to get a license and hunt bear in Colorado. For example:
Hunter A: Hunter A only likes to hunt bear, so hunter A would need to:
1. Apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license from the hunt
code tables on pages 63–65. And/or:
2. Buy an over-the-counter rifle bear license when OTC licenses go on sale Aug. 6
at 9 a.m. (hunt code tables on page 67).
Hunter B: Hunter B is planning to draw a deer or elk license, so hunter B has two options:
1. Also apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license.
2. Wait to see if they are awarded an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license,
and then add on an over-the-counter bear license of the same method of
take that matches at least one of the same units when OTC licenses go on sale.
Hunter C: Hunter C does not participate in the draw, but purchases an over-the-counter
archery elk license every year. Hunter C will wait until over-the-counter licenses
go on sale, purchase an OTC archery elk license, and then add on an OTC archery
bear license that matches at least one of the same units. There are no OTC archery
deer licenses or OTC muzzleloader licenses for any species available.

open with a stick before rigor mortis
sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until head and hide are inspected
and sealed. Having a bear hide without
a seal after the five-day period is illegal,
and the hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a
foreign country, you must first obtain
CITES documents. Contact the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 303-3427430. Do not call the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service about inspections or
seals for bears.
Meat does not need to be presented
at the check, however all edible portions of meat must be prepared for
human consumption.

ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
▶ WHEN YOU SEE THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL: You can purchase an add-on over-thecounter archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license ONLY if you have a deer or
elk license for the same method of take:
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during archery season
before you can purchase an over-the-counter archery bear license.
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during muzzleloader
season before you can purchase an over-the-counter muzzleloader bear
license.
■ You must have have a license for hunt code E-E-061-E1-R before you can
purchase an over-the-counter rifle bear license.
■ At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match
one unit listed on your bear license.

▶ CHECK THE DEER &amp; ELK HUNT CODE TABLES: Look for the bear paw symbol in
the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and
elk (pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages
38–39) to find hunts with add-on archery and muzzleloader
bear licenses available.
▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear any time during the
dates specified in the archery, muzzleloader and rifle tables
below, with the correct method of take.
▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any of the unit(s) listed in the
table for which your bear license is valid. If your deer or elk license is for
private land only, you must use your bear license on private land only.

Updated Big Game
Regulations Summary
EFFECTIVE FOR 2023 BIG GAME SEASON

The Severe Winter Zone - License Reduction

The most notable changes in the 2023 big game license quotas are related to the severity
and duration of the historic winter in the northwest corner of the state from Rangely to Steamboat Springs and
to the Wyoming state line. In this severe winter zone, the winter at lower elevations, where mule deer, elk, and
pronghorn winter, was the worst in at least 70 years because of deep, long-lasting, low-elevation snowpack.
CPW recommended unprecedented license reductions within this severe winter zone to account for high
mortality rates experienced by mule deer, elk, and pronghorn. These substantial reductions should allow herds
to recover as quickly as possible:

• MULE DEER: In the severe winter zone, male and either-sex deer licenses are reduced by 5,000 (-48%) in

D-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14, 214, 301, 441), D-6 (GMU 10), and D-7 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 131, 211, 231) combined. Female
licenses are reduced by 2,900 (-94%) and to the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code in D-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14,
214, 301, 441) and D-7 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 131, 211, 231) combined.

• ELK: In the severe winter zone, antlerless elk license recommendations are reduced in E-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14, 214,

301, 441) by 5,600 (-89%) with all public cow hunts reduced to the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code. In
E-6 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34, 131, 211, 231) antlerless licenses are reduced 8,700 (-63%) and for E-21 (GMU
10) the reduction is 400 (-60%) antlerless licenses.

• PRONGHORN: In the severe winter zone, pronghorn male and female license quotas are reduced to the

minimum of 10 per hunt code. Male licenses are reduced by 1,100 (-74%) and female licenses are reduced
by 700 (-83%) combined for all DAUs. Affected DAUs include PH-9 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 131, 214, 301, 441), PH-10
(GMU 11), PH-11 (GMUs 1, 2, 201), and PH-34 (GMUs 12, 23, 211).

Elk Over-The-Counter Season Dates

The duration of the second and third rifle seasons for over-the-counter bull elk
licenses have been reduced to five days if used in GMUs 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14,
23, 24, 131, 211, 214, 231, 301, and 441. The second rifle season is reduced from
Oct. 28–Nov. 5, 2023 to Oct. 28–Nov. 1, 2023, and the third rifle season is reduced
from Nov. 11–Nov. 17, 2023 to Nov. 11–Nov. 15, 2023. If such licenses are used
outside the severe winter GMUs, the full season dates apply. (See page 40)

Late Season Youth Pronghorn Hunts

New regulations specifically require youth hunters to have unfilled limited doe or either-sex pronghorn licenses
to participate in late season youth pronghorn hunts. These changes were made to align regulation with the approved Big Game Season structure for 2020-2024. Previous regulation did not require the unfilled license to be
a limited license. (See page 19)

modified to a rolling 3-year average updated annually, with a 1-year lag.
See "Nonresident License Allocations" on page 4 for more.

▶ UPDATED HYBRID DRAW LIST: The hybrid draw list has been updated based
on the 2019-2021 draws. See page 19.

▶ GMU BOUNDARY NAME REVISION: The boundary mentioned in GMU 54

for rifle elk hunt E-F-054-P5-R has been updated to Red Gulch following
the renaming by the U.S. Board on Geologic Names. See page 49.

▶ BOUNDARY MODIFICATIONS FOR SOME GMUs: See the updated descriptions
for GMUs 8, 123, 124, 125, 128, 129, 135 and 191 starting on page 69,
"Game Management Unit (GMU) Descriptions."

▶ MOUNT EVANS HUNTING CLOSURE MODIFIED: Hunting is prohibited on

Mt. Evans Summit Lake cirque, and within one-quarter mile (changed
from one-half mile) of either side of the centerline of Mt. Evans Hwy.
(Colo. 5). See page 68.

In 2023, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt
codes. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for mandatory CWD
testing. Hunters that harvest a deer in the specified hunt codes will be
required to submit their deer head to a CPW submission site for testing.
There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information
about where and how to submit a CWD sample: cpw.info/cwd
If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know
whether their harvested deer or elk has CWD, they can submit their animal's head and pay a testing fee of $25. In 2023, testing fees for voluntary
submissions will be waived for all moose statewide and all deer from
hunt codes that were not selected for mandatory testing but are within
the same GMUs that were selected for mandatory testing. Voluntary submissions are accepted annually statewide. See page 22 of the "Deer" section for a list of the mandatory GMUs and page 13 for more about CWD.

▶ A BRIEF PERIOD TO SURRENDER YOUR LICENSE AFTER THE PRIMARY DRAW
AND NOW THE SECONDARY DRAW IS AVAILABLE: Customers who are suc-

cessful in the primary or secondary draw will be provided with a short
period when they can decide to surrender their license if they no longer
want it, receiving preference point restoration to the pre-draw level, a
refund of the license fee and removal of the license from the customer's
account.
The deadline for the primary draw surrender period is Mon., June 5, at 11:59
p.m. MT. The deadline for the secondary draw period is Mon., July 10, at 11:59 p.m.
MT. If we're unable to charge the credit card on file in your account by the
payment deadline (June 16, 11:59 p.m. MT for the primary draw; July
21, 11:59 p.m. MT for the secondary draw), your license will be forfeited,
and you will lose BOTH the license and any preference points you used to
draw it. See page 8 for more details.

▶ REMEMBER THAT YOUTH-ONLY HUNT CODES ARE PART OF THE YOUTH
PREFERENCE DRAW! The same hunt code choice requirement applies:

If youth enter more than one hunt code on their application, ALL HUNT
CODES must be youth-preference-eligible hunt codes and/or youth-only
hunt codes to qualify for youth preference.
Eligible hunt codes for youth preference are limited license hunt
codes for doe pronghorn, antlerless or either-sex deer, and antlerless elk.
See "The Draw(s): Youth Draw Preference" on page 17 for more information on youth hunting.

�HUNT PLAN

PLANNING YOUR HUNT

Call 303-297-1192 or 303-291-PLAN (7526) for more help getting started!

This brochure will help you decide which big-game species you'd like to hunt, when and where you'd like to hunt, which method of take
you'd like to use and the requirements for getting your hunting license. It only takes a few steps to plan your hunt!

DO YOU HAVE YOUR HUNTER EDUCATION?
1 You'll
need to have your hunter education certification and card

6

number before applying for the draw(s) or purchasing a hunting
license if you were born after Jan. 1, 1949. Remember that you must
carry proof of hunter education in the field when you hunt!
See pages 5–6 for additional license requirements and how to obtain
an apprentice certificate.

WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
Colorado offers 10 big-game species. This brochure
has hunting rules and options for deer (mule and
white-tailed), elk, pronghorn, moose and bear.
Pick the species and sex you're interested in hunting:
Page 11 has information that helps identify
different big-game animals.

Each year, a set (limited) number of licenses is allotted to each GMU.
You can apply for the big game draw(s) to get one of these limited
licenses, or after the draws are over, you can purchase a remaining
(leftover) limited license when they go on sale.
Some licenses for elk, pronghorn and bear are also available without
needing to enter the draw(s) and are not restricted in quantity
(unlimited). These can be purchased over the counter after they go on
sale online, by phone and in person at sales agents around the state.

READ THIS BROCHURE!
7 Now
that you have a plan, be sure to read through this brochure to

help get your license and be prepared out in the field.
The first 19 pages have all of your basic hunting
information: new changes, license information, options and sales
dates, general information, hunting laws, application information
and deadlines, and how to read the hunt code tables.
Pages 20–67 break out each of the six big-game species in
this brochure into their own sections. Each section has speciesspecific regulation changes, season dates, how to get more than
one license and hunt code tables.
The last few pages, 68–73, provide a GMU map and detailed
descriptions of the GMU boundaries and specific land restrictions.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
3 Colorado
is divided into hunting areas called game management units
(i.e. GMUs). It's important that every hunter knows the boundaries of
their hunting area, including private land boundaries. Check out the
state map and unit descriptions in the back of this brochure or online:
cpw.info/maps

GET THE BROCHURE ONLINE: cpw.info/big-game-brochure

DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
4 InWHEN
general for deer, elk and bear hunting, archery season starts in early
Sept. and lasts almost a month. Muzzleloader season starts in the
middle of archery season, and four rifle seasons follow that.
The first rifle season is limited to elk and bear hunting only. The
second, third and fourth rifle seasons are for elk, bear and deer
hunters, who will be in the field at the same time.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HUNT WITH?
5 Colorado
has seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle/associated

methods hunting. "Associated methods" are shotguns, handguns,
muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40 caliber (.50 caliber for elk and
moose), hand-held bows and crossbows. Legal requirements for the various
methods and transporting them in the field are described in this brochure.

common for a buck to spend 48

stay with her much longer than if

2023 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: PLANNING YOUR HUNT &amp; HUNTING LICENSE DEFINITIONS

�HUNT TERMS

HUNTING LICENSE TERMS &amp; DEFINITIONS
LICENSE TYPES

◆ Qualifying licenses: A current-year qualifying license is required in order
to apply for any of the big-game draws. See page 4 for more.

◆ Limited licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for

specific units and dates for each species, and are issued through an application and draw process.

LIMITED LICENSES INCLUDE:

Public land licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are valid
on all CPW-owned or leased public lands, private lands and most federal lands in the specific units listed on your license/in this brochure.
Private-land-only licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are
only valid on private lands in the specific GMUs listed on your license/
in this brochure. If your license hunt code has a "P" in the second-tolast part, it's valid on private land ONLY. For example: E-F-007-P5-R.
You MUST get landowner permission before applying for these licenses.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary draw.
They become the licenses eligible for the secondary draw, and any remaining licenses after the secondary draw become available as over-thecounter leftover limited licenses (see "leftover limited licenses" below).
Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses: Licenses that are available on certain
ranch properties for Colorado residents only. See: cpw.info/rfw
Season choice licenses: Licenses that let you hunt in any or all of the seasons (archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle and associated methods) in specified units
with the correct method of take until your license is filled. These licenses
are available for deer and bull or either-sex moose only. See pages 32 and 61.

◆ Over-the-counter (OTC) licenses: Licenses (unlimited, unlimited add-on

bear and leftover limited) that are available without having to go through
the draw(s). They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do
not use preference points and may be purchased any time before and
during a season. They're available at over 650 sales agents around the
state, including CPW offices and state parks, online, or by phone.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES INCLUDE:

Unlimited licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in quantity by CPW. You
may purchase these licenses when over-the-counter licenses go on sale.
"Unlimited" does not mean you can purchase an unlimited number of
licenses: See the "List A, B &amp; C" definition at top right.
Add-on bear licenses: If you have an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license, you can purchase an OTC bear license for the same method
of take. At least one hunting unit must overlap on both licenses.
See the deer and elk hunt tables for available hunts (look for the bear
paw symbol!), pages 20 and 35, and "Bear," page 66.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary or secondary draws go on the Leftover List. Reissued licenses (see "reissues,"
bottom right and page 8) also go onto the list. These are available for
purchase in person, online or at sales agents starting on leftover day.

◆ Landowner preference program (LPP) vouchers: The LPP encour-

ages private landowners to provide habitat for the benefit of wildlife
populations and to relieve hunting pressure on public lands. Deer, elk
and pronghorn vouchers are allocated to landowners who meet certain
qualifications. Applications are drawn during the primary draw, and successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The voucher is transferred directly to a hunter, who then purchases a
license to hunt. See page 7 and cpw.info/LPP.

BIG GAME DRAWS
Primary draw: The first, main big-game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

Secondary draw: This draw replaces the big-game leftover draw from past

years and includes deer, elk, pronghorn and bear. Applicants can apply
for the secondary draw whether or not they applied for the primary
draw. Preference points are not used or awarded in this draw.

LIST
LIST A, BB &amp;&amp;CC

List A, B &amp; C: All big-game hunting

licenses are either List A, B or
C, as indicated in the hunt code
tables (see image at right ▶) or
next to most of the OTC maps.
The List types exist so that you
know if you can get more than
one license for the same species:
Sample rifle deer table, page 27
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A
license and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as
well as one List A license and one List B license, or two List B licenses =
A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.

PREFERENCE
POINTS
PREFERENCE POINTS
Preference points: Preference points help hunters to be successful in future
primary draws because points add up per species until an applicant
draws a first-choice license. One preference point is awarded to each
applicant who qualifies for and DOES NOT draw their first-choice limited
license for deer, elk, pronghorn or bear in the primary draw, or who
applies using a specific preference-point hunt code that gets them a
preference point only as their first choice.

Weighted preference points: For moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep

and mountain goat, applicants with at least three preference points will
be awarded a weighted preference point in subsequent draws and will be
given weighted preference during the license draw. See page 9 and
cpw.info/weighted-preference for more details.

OTHER
DEFINITIONS
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Carcass tag: The bottom portion of a hunting license, to be signed, removed
and kept with the carcass ONLY after harvesting the animal. See page 16.
CWD: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that
attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose, and has been found in several
regions in the state. In 2023, CPW will require mandatory submission of
CWD test samples for deer from certain hunt codes. See pages 13 and 20.
Float groups: When the quota — or number of licenses available — is assigned to a group of hunt codes, rather than just one, that is considered a
float group. If you draw or purchase a hunt code in a float group, you may
exchange that hunt code for another hunt in that group for a fee as long
as your season hasn't started.
GMU: Huntable areas are broken down into units called "game management
units." These units help you decide where you'd like to hunt. See the GMU
map on the inside back cover.
Method of take: Colorado has hunting seasons based on archery, muzzleloader, and rifle and associated methods. "Associated methods" are shotguns,
handguns, muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40 caliber (.50 caliber
for elk and moose), hand-held bows and crossbows. See table on page
14 for details on which method you can use to hunt each of the big-game
species in this brochure.
Refunds: You can get a refund OR have your preference points restored for a
big-game license that you draw. You must return the license to CPW at
least 30 days before the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Reissues: Most limited licenses that have been returned will be made available to other hunters through a reissue process. Returned limited licenses
that took 5 or more preference points to draw will be offered to the next
applicant in line, up to 5 applicants. Those that took 4 or fewer preference
points to draw will be available to the public on the Leftover List.
Exchanges: You can exchange a license, as long as the license you want to get
is for a hunt code for the same species as the current license and there is
quota remaining (except for float groups and some unlimited licenses).
In most cases, you can exchange from an OTC license to a limited license
of the same species and vice versa. Note that there are no refunds or
preference point restorations available on exchanged licenses. The fee to
exchange is $5. Once a season starts, an exchange is no longer available.

NONRESIDENT LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number
of preference points an adult Colorado resident needed to
draw a specific license on average during NEW the previous
three limited license draws with a 1-year lag (the 2023 draw
allocation will be determined by the 2019, 2020, and 2021
limited draws).
For more information, read the CPW Big Game Hunting
License Distribution FAQ or subscribe to our Hunting eNews
for the latest information: cpw.state.co.us
1. For NEW elk, deer, pronghorn or bear (previously only
elk or deer) hunt codes that required six or more points for
an adult Colorado resident to draw, up to 20 percent of the
licenses may go to nonresidents. These hunts are designated
in unit tables by a + under the SEX column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for an
adult Colorado resident to draw an NEW elk, deer, pronghorn or bear license, up to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain
after all Colorado resident first choices have been drawn for
that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and
Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and
nonresidents, all nonresidents in the group will count

all rifle licenses) are allocated to deeded landowners who own at least
160 contiguous acres of private agricultural land. Further qualifications
apply: cpw.info/LPP
2. Landowner preference quotas are:

percent of the public quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher.
▶ GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the quota of public licenses may be
issued as a voucher valid for a specific hunt code. An additional 10
percent of the public quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher and may only be transferred to a youth or an immediate

3. LPP applications are drawn just before CPW’s public limited drawing.
Successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
Landowners will be notified at the same time as public applicants.
4. The deadline to register for 2023 has passed. Registrations for 2024
may be submitted through Dec. 1, 2023, at the web address listed

license obtained for use with a void voucher is also void. No person
shall broker a voucher on behalf of any landowner or person, or use or
possess any brokered voucher.
2. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one time only. The transfer of
the voucher occurs when the hunter’s name is written on the voucher,
or the landowner or designated land manager hands (or mails) the
voucher to the hunter.
3. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The
voucher CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even if
the voucher has not been redeemed for a license.

for which the voucher was awarded, and for the entire season for which
the voucher was awarded, without discrimination among hunters
entering the land. Restrictions are not allowed, except for manner of
access (i.e. foot, horseback, vehicle) reasonably necessary to prevent
damage to land.

location to be redeemed for a proper and valid license PRIOR to
hunting. The appropriate license fees are paid at that time.

�PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED PER SPECIES APPLIED FOR
to hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a
license for a first-choice hunt code in the primary draw for biggame species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code (see below).

Preference points are only used during the primary draw,
they do not apply for the secondary draw.
2. YOUTH AGES 12–17 can apply for a point. Youth age 11 can also apply
for a point, provided they turn 12 in 2023.
3. PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE: You can gain a preference point
as a first choice on your application to use another year; specific
preference-point hunt codes are listed at the beginning of each
species section in this brochure. You can also choose other hunt
codes as your second, third or fourth choices. Do not submit a
separate application for preference points, or both applications will
be disqualified.
4. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated
preference points for that species become void and return to zero.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an
applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a
license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all
accumulated preference points for that species become void.
6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the license
quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded, and except for the
hybrid draw. See page 19 for hybrid draw information and hunt codes.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the
fewest points. See "Apply as a Group for Hunts" at: cpw.info/applyfor-group-hunts
8. SECOND-, THIRD-, FOURTH-CHOICE, over-the-counter, leftover limited
licenses and the secondary draw don’t use or generate points.
9. PREFERENCE POINT FEE: The preference point fee does not apply to
deer, elk, pronghorn or bear. See right for details on the preference
point fee for moose, Rocky Mtn. bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW
account: Go to cpw.state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."
11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN HUNTERS.
Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt codes, sex,
unit(s), season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim
Colorado as their home of residence and are deployed outside the
U.S. are eligible, when they return home, to apply for preference
points for any primary draws they missed while deployed.
Applications will be available at the end of July.

See the draw application and preference point flowchart online:

cpw.info/qualifying-licenses

PREFERENCE POINT FEE
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat have a preference and weighted preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your
first choice hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth and resident lifetime
license holders. Residents who are in the military on active duty outside of
Colorado can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the preference point fee while
filling out your draw application(s), and therefore will not be charged the
fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point for 2023. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on file will be charged after
the draw. The application fee, $11.50 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be charged, we will email you.
If you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 16), you will forfeit your
preference point for 2023.

WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
1. There are three species of big-game animals that use the weighted
preference point system to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to
both male and female licenses.
3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat. If you have three preference points and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then dividing that
new application number by the number of weighted points you have,
plus one. Individuals with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. Go to cpw.info/weighted-preference for more details.

GET THE LEAD OUT
Go to CDPHE.COLORADO.GOV/LEAD-HEALTH and click
"For the public" to see the Lead in Harvested Wild Game factsheet.
From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as far
into the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with your
commercial processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES

HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt
in the limited license draw(s) each year. Hunt codes are an 8-character code
used to designate species, sex, GMU, season and method of take:

HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE

These are available through the primary or secondary draws.
Hunt tables for bear on pages 66–67 contain hunt codes for over-thecounter licenses. These are not available through the draw.

designates the species:

D = deer
E = elk
A = pronghorn
M = moose
B = bear

2 SECOND CHARACTER

designates the sex of the animal: M = male
F = female
E = either sex

3 THIRD CHARACTERS

designate the game manage001 = unit 1
ment unit (GMU):
If more than one unit is valid, only 201 = unit 201
the lowest unit number will appear.
etc.

4 FOURTH CHARACTERS indicate the season/hunt dates:

NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in
the hunt units and the letter "O" in
the season section look similar!

O1 = first season
O2 = second season
etc.
P = private-land-only hunts
(followed by the season
number: P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)
E1 = early season
L1 = late season
K2, K3 = youth-only
W or J = Ranching for Wildlife

5 FIFTH CHARACTER

designates the method of take:

"Associated methods" are shotguns, handguns,
muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40
caliber (.50 caliber for elk and moose), handheld bows and crossbows.

A = archery
M = muzzleloader
R = rifle and associated methods
X = season choice

OTHER HUNT CODE TABLE SYMBOLS

1. A SQUARE BULLET ( ■ ) in the UNIT column indicates there is a special note
about that unit, displayed below the hunt code information.
2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for which an average of at
least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that license. This
is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
NEW These calculations are based on a rolling 3-year average for the previ10 ous three limited license draws, with a 1-year lag.

2023 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; GENERAL INFORMATION

Sample rifle deer table, page 27
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes
within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you'll look next to locate the game management unit (GMU) you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully.
Some licenses are valid in one unit only, while others are valid in multiple
units. This column also indicates which hunts offer add-on bear licenses
in the over-the-counter deer and elk archery and muzzleloader tables:
Look for the bear paw symbol!
3. THE VALID GMUs COLUMN will display information for each hunt and
whether it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit
before you hunt.
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the
VALID GMUs column will list all the game management units (GMUs)
where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the
chart will read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt.
4. THE DATES COLUMN lists the applicable season/hunt dates when the license
is valid. Each unit may have multiple hunt dates, so please read carefully.
5. THE SEX COLUMN indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that
specific hunt code. Read the information carefully because the sex of an
animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE COLUMN displays the code you will use to apply for
the license you want. There are many possible hunt codes associated with
each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted, so
please read carefully. See section at left on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST COLUMN displays what type of license you are buying. There are
opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as
the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C.
For details, see the "List A, B &amp; C: Get More Than One License" charts under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages.
When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application.
NOTE: You may submit one application for each species, per draw, per year.
For each application, you may fill in up to 4 hunt code choices.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from white-tailed.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Field dress the animal, then call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office
nearest to you, listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s
most responsible plan of action.

Check out the "Colorado's Big-Game Species" video! See how to identify our 10 big-game species: vimeo.com/478718115
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

2023 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour
after sunset, unless specifically restricted. Go to cpw.info/hunting-resources for
a link to current sunrise/sunset tables and more information.

GUIDES &amp; OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They
also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of
Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202; 303-8947778; or dpo.colorado.gov/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide invaluable
resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the
above office or the Colorado Outfitters Association online: coloradooutfitters.org

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
▶ HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

Hunters must wear at least 500 square inches of solid fluorescent orange or
pink material and a fluorescent orange or pink hat, visible from all angles,
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm license.
Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged, though not
required, to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery
and muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. See page 15 for
more details.

▶ HUNTER EDUCATION CARD

Your hunter education card must be carried while hunting, unless it is
verified and your license is marked with a “V.” To get your hunter education
card verified, take your hunter education card to a CPW office or state park.

▶ CARCASS TAGS

Be sure to sign and detach your carcass tag from your hunting license
directly AFTER you harvest your animal, and make sure you attach it to your
take properly. See page 16 for all the information you need on carcass tags.

▶ OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHVs)

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on
public lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route
must have a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31. OHV permits
(applicable for nonresidents and street-legal/plated vehicles) are available online
at cpw.info/ohv-permit, at CPW locations and sales agents. Questions,
call 303-297-1192. Renewal registrations are available online and at CPW
locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person or by mail.
Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

▶ MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location
of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for
hunters who harvest a moose or bear, as these species require
mandatory inspections. See pages 58 (moose), 63 (bear) and page
13. During mandatory inspections, hunters will be instructed to
give a location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes
reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude
and latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the
check report form during harvest inspections.

▶ HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30
days before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia
within a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection
before transportation. Call the brand inspector: 303-869-9160

▶ EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

�GENERAL

HOW TO HELP OUT CPW
HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days. Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or email, asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal
and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding (even if you didn’t hunt or harvest) is an important part of setting future seasons and license numbers. If contacted, you
can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free
phone number 1-855-924-4278. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct.
through mid-Feb. See the CPW website for details: cpw.state.co.us

HERD MANAGEMENT: YOUR INPUT IS WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a
herd management plan review process during which CPW updates management objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population
size and the ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence
decisions about how many licenses of each type can be made available in
any given year.
Every plan update allows for public comment and review. CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about how
big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these important
opportunities to have your voice heard.
Information about current plans and opportunities to inform plan
updates are available on our webpage. You can also receive notices by
signing up for CPW's Insider email list from our webpage. Find herd
management plan info: cpw.info/hmp

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

The TIPs program awards licenses and preference points to eligible
persons that report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of

big game or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal
take, possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the
charging officer of your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.info/tips for
the criteria to qualify for a preference point or license, or contact CPW for
details at 303-297-1192.

MANDATORY INSPECTIONS &amp; REPORTS FOR MOOSE &amp; BEAR
MOOSE: Hunters must personally present their moose to a CPW office
(listed on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working
days of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a
mandatory report and lower incisor extraction. Heads must be unfrozen.
Hunters must submit the head and lower jaw of antlered moose with antlers
attached, or the head and lower jaw OR an incisor of antlerless moose.
Additionally, all moose license holders must complete and return a
mandatory report provided by CPW within 30 days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does not complete and return it, including those
who were unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point. See "Mandatory Moose Inspections," page 58.
BEAR: Hunters must personally present their bear to any CPW office (listed
on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working days
of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a mandatory report, sealing and premolar tooth extraction. Heads and hides must
be unfrozen. See "Mandatory Bear Inspections &amp; Seals," page 63, for more.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
CPW property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, 303-869-9031; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

1

WHAT IS IT?

2

WHERE IS IT?

3

MANDATORY TESTING 2023

4

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated,
display abnormal behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show
no signs of illness.

CWD has been found in several regions in Colorado, as well as other states and
provinces. For deer, infection rates tend to be highest in prime-aged mature
bucks. See the CWD prevalence maps for deer and elk on pages 21 and 37.

In 2023, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt codes
to better evaluate the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge
for mandatory testing. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for
mandatory CWD testing. Find the hunt codes selected for mandatory
testing on pages 22–32.

If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer or elk has CWD, they can submit their animal's head and
pay a testing fee of $25. In 2023, testing fees for voluntary submissions will
be waived for all moose statewide and all deer from hunt codes that were
not selected for mandatory testing but are within the same GMUs that
were selected for mandatory testing (see list of GMUs on page 22). Voluntary
submissions are accepted annually statewide.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
Disease in humans resulting from CWD
exposure has not been reported to date.
However, public health officials cannot
determine there is no risk from eating meat
from infected animals. Consequently, officials
recommend that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected
animals. Please see the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment website (cdphe.colorado.gov/animalrelated-diseases/prion-diseases) for the most current
recommendations on carcass testing and other preventive
measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public
health officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume
any deer, elk or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be
sick. When field-dressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw to cut through the brain or spinal
cord (backbone). Minimize contact with brain or spinal cord
tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always wash hands and
utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing game meat.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
Find complete regulations online: cpw.info/regulations

THE TOP 10 MOST COMMON HUNTING VIOLATIONS IN COLORADO:
1. TRESPASSING. Going onto private lands without getting permission first

while hunting, fishing or performing any related activity is illegal. Private
lands do not need to be posted or fenced, so it can be difficult to see
boundaries. Violators may be suspended for up to 5 years for trespassing. This includes State Land Board properties not leased and signed by
CPW, unless permission is given by the lessee.
You must have permission from the landowner to enter private land to
retrieve a harvested animal. First, you should try to contact the landowner
on your own. If that effort fails, call the local CPW office (inside front cover).

2. Failing to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound or
may have wounded. Remember that it's against the law to pursue wounded
wildlife that goes on private property without first obtaining permission
from the landowner or person in charge. You must still attempt to gain
permission to enter and locate the animal.

3. Failing to reasonably dress, care for, prepare and provide edible wildlife meat
for human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and

backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible meat.

4. Hunting without a proper license. Anyone who hunts wildlife must have

in their possession the appropriate and valid Colorado resident or
nonresident license that includes their Customer Identification (CID)
number, and must only harvest wildlife of the species and type indicated
on the license.

5. Mistakenly killing wildlife. You must field dress and report big-game

animals unintentionally killed, not due to carelessness or negligence, to
a CPW office (inside front cover) (or the local Sheriff 's office after CPW
regular hours) before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. CPW
evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of
animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed
does not count toward annual bag limits.

6. Not showing evidence of sex. Be sure to leave evidence of sex naturally

attached to the carcass. Evidence includes the head, the vulva or the scrotum. See "Evidence of Sex" on page 16 for more details.

7. Carrying loaded firearms while in or on any motor vehicle. Firearms must be

unloaded in the chamber. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded
if the percussion cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is
removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronicignition muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle; the chamber must be
unloaded or the battery must be disconnected and removed from its compartment. Most accidents involving firearms occur in or near vehicles.

8. Carrying loaded firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear seasons. Firearms (except handguns) must be un-

loaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or
their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on
property they own or lease.

9. Improperly voiding and/or attaching a carcass tag. You must sign and detach

the carcass tag from your hunting license immediately following taking
your animal. It is illegal to sign or tear the carcass tag before harvest. The tag
must also be attached to the animal properly. See "Carcass Tags," page 16.

10. Shooting from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow.

People firing a bow, rifle, handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be at
least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.

FELONY OFFENSES:
If convicted of a felony violation, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
▶ To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
▶ To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
▶ To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.

HUNTING LAWS

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK
HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK DURING CERTAIN HUNTING SEASONS.
The law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight
fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material on an outer garment above
the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm
license. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or head covering, visible from all
directions, is also required. Camouflage orange or pink does not qualify. Mesh
garments are legal but not recommended. This includes all muzzleloader
hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle seasons.
Archers hunting during the limited Sept. rifle bear season, archers with an
archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, and archers licensed for
private land hunting through the Ranching for Wildlife program do not have
to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but should consider wearing it to increase
safety while in the field. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to
wear orange or pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display
orange or pink that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
CPW RECOMMENDS WEARING FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK CLOTHES IN THE FIELD,
EVEN IF NOT HUNTING. Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery and
muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. Wearing orange or
pink is for hunter safety, as big-game animals don’t see these colors like we do:
Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.
IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
▶ Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life
or property.
▶ Hunt outside of legal hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour
after sunset).
▶ Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey
to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects;
making movements; harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers
to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire.
Violators face prosecution and may have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
▶ Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
▶ Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and
cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased,
not unstrung.
▶ Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or
aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
▶ Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same day or day
after a flight was made to find wildlife.
▶ For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law or regulation.
▶ Use computer-assisted remote technology (any device, equipment or software used
to remotely control a weapon, including the Internet) to hunt or fish. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting/ fishing.
▶ Use unmanned or remote-control drones to look for, scout or detect wildlife.
▶ Use live-action game cameras to locate, surveil, or aid/assist in locating/surveiling
game wildlife in order to take/try to take wildlife during the same or following day.
"Live-action game camera" is any device capable of recording and transmitting
photographic/video data wirelessly to a remote device (such as a computer or smart
phone). This doesn't include game cameras that record photographic/video data
and store such data for later use, as long as the device cannot transmit data wirelessly.
▶ Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
▶ Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
▶ Fail to extinguish a campfire completely.
▶ Party hunt (i.e. harvest someone else’s game or let someone harvest yours).
▶ Use dogs. A leashed dog may be used as an aid in locating/recovering wounded biggame animals, except for black bears, with purchase of annual tracking permit.
▶ Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the
bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for
normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like
food are illegal for bears.
▶ Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
▶ Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters.
Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be erected on CPW
land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season during which they will be used.
No nails can be driven into trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands must
be removed within 10 days after the season they are used in ends. The owner’s CID
number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable blinds or underside
of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not reserve them for personal
use: They may be used on first-come, first-served basis.

�HUNTING LAWS

LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes,
including felony offenses and domestic violence-related offenses, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been convicted of a crime, check
with the appropriate Colorado and federal law enforcement authority to find
out how these laws apply to you.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by Child Support Enforcement.

BAG LIMITS
1. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally take of each species. Big game taken in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the
maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
2. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
3. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your
big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a
small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does
not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS

16

▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals
you harvest per instructions on tag. Tags
must be signed, dated and detached from
the license immediately upon harvest. See
image at right for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the
carcass (not to detached hides, horns or
antlers carried separately) immediately
prior to and during transportation in any
vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence
or other place of storage. Tags must stay
on until meat is processed and remain
with meat until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and
attached to the species lawfully taken or
killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign the tag before harvesting an animal.
▶Do not remove any parts of a license except
the carcass tag only after harvest. Doing
so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate. The upper part of the license
must be kept by whoever harvested the
animal.
▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license is valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as
the rest of the license is intact.

sample 2022 hunting license

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone else
made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must
accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag
or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place
for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to
have CWD.
6. See page 36 of the "Elk" section for antler-point restrictions.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Carcass tag portion of license

Detach and sign the carcass tag only
AFTER harvesting your animal.
You must then attach the tag to the
carcass (not to the head or antlers).

2023 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS &amp; YOUTH HUNTING

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of
kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form
required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and
recipient are subject to bag and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a
license for exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s
license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

FOLLOW THE RULES

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license (see
"Purchasing and Converting Licenses" to the right) — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle
hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure, except
for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 18, and there
must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.
To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 18 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the
rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle
season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and deer licenses
may not be used to participate in the

and take antlerless elk after doing so.

FOR EXAMPLE: (see elk map at bottom left)

ELK EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during archery season and converts their unfilled
license (see options above).
■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.

HYBRID DRAW BEAR, DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN
To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply.

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS

Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the hybrid draw must meet the
following criteria and choose from the
hunt codes listed at right as their first
choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of
five preference points for the species
they wish to hunt to participate in the
hybrid drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually;
group applications are not accepted.
3. Hunt codes that contain a W are
Ranching for Wildlife properties.
These hunts are for Colorado residents only.

HOW IT WORKS

Hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw ( NEW based
on a rolling 3-year average for the previous three limited license draws with a
1-year lag), up to 20 percent of the available licenses may be issued through a
random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the hybrid draw.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the hybrid draw will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the hybrid draw lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one
point.

be aware that hunt codes with an asterisk (*) had a low number of available licenses in
previous years and may not have licenses available for the hybrid draw in 2023.

for mandatory CWD testing. See pages 1, 13 and 22
for more details. There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information about where and
how to submit a CWD sample at cpw.info/cwd.

licenses are available in unlimited numbers as “addon” licenses only: You can add on one of
these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk
license for the same method of take and at
least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader
hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk
(pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk
(pages 38–39) for the available add-on OTC bear
license hunts. Note that for some unit groupings,
not every unit is valid for adding on an OTC bear
license. Check the unit information in the tables
carefully! Also see page 66 of the “Bear” section.
Go to cpw.info/bear-hunts and check out the full
list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter
D-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as
a first choice on your primary draw
application to use another year. You
can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may only submit
one application per species, per draw,
per year. Note that the secondary
draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for
moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have
a preference point fee. The application fee, $11.50 Habitat Stamp and
qualifying license are nonrefundable.
See page 9.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. White-tailed and mule
deer. See pages 11 and 33.
▶ BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long. There are no antler-point restrictions for
deer.
▶ DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers.
Antlerless can also mean a young male with antlers
less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for
which an average of at least six preference points are
needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a
license will be drawn. NEW Now calculated by the
number of preference points an adult Colorado
resident needed to draw a specific license on average during the previous 3 limited license draws,
with a one year lag.

�DEER

WHITE-TAILED ONLY

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES: LATE RIFLE

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed deer
in the area, and hunters can expect to see more
mule deer than white-tailed deer when hunting
in these GMUs.

WHERE ARE THE WHITE-TAILED FOUND IN THIS
SEASON?

SEASON DATES: Dec. 1–31

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be most
commonly found along lower-elevation river
bottoms.

LICENSES: Either Sex
LIST: B

Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding white-tailed
deer. Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission is
required prior to hunting.

LICENSE AGENTS ONLY: D-E-048-U6-R
VALID UNITS:
48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140, 481, 511, 561,
581, 591, 691, 851 except Bosque del Oso SWA, 861

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE CAN I USE?

These licenses are sold only at CPW offices and state
parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more
information about white-tailed identification when a
license is purchased. These are unlimited in number
and go on sale starting at 9 a.m. on AUG 1.

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange or
pink requirements (see page 15), regardless of
the type of weapon used.

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

Some public properties prohibit the use of
rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property
regulations to determine what types of weapons are legal before going afield.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

White-tailed are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITE-TAILED VS. MULE DEER

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?
Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip
▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males

Hunters must be certain of their target to avoid
killing a mule deer with a white-tailed-only
license.

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of
this brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area. See the “Hunting Laws” section on
page 15 for more details.

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

OTHER HUNTS
SAN LUIS VALLEY REFUGE ELK PERMITS

The USFWS allows a maximum of 5 elk hunters to access and hunt on
the Alamosa (GMU 83) and Monte Vista (GMU 80) National Wildlife
Refuges at any one time. The application and draw process creates a
hunter list for each season, identifying the first 5 hunters and the position of the others on the list. As elk are harvested, hunters from the list
are given permits to hunt.
To be eligible for an access permit and before they submit their application, hunters must hold an elk license that is valid for the season
and refuge for which they wish to apply. The following seasons are
open to permitted hunting on each of these refuges: archery; muzzleloader; first rifle; third rifle; fourth rifle.
To be entered into the drawing, starting the day after leftover licenses
go on sale, eligible hunters must email montevista.wildlife@state.
co.us. Hunters will receive an automatic email response with a link to
the Refuge Access Permit Application Form. Hunters will then need to
provide certain information to apply: name, phone number and email
address; the hunt code for the license with which they wish to hunt; and
their CID number.
Hunters will need to complete the application form and select the
correct refuge for which their license is valid in order to be entered.
Applications will be accepted for 5 days, starting the day after leftover license day. Permits for the refuges will be issued via email after a random
drawing held under the direct supervision of the Area Wildlife Manager
and no later than August 25 annually.

BACA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

The Baca National Wildlife Refuge (GMU 82) is open to hunters who

TAXIDERMY
If you leave the head of your harvest with its
antlers at a taxidermist, you are encouraged
to get a receipt from the taxidermist — with
date delivered and a description of the antlers
— before you take the carcass home or to a
commercial processor.

HANDLING ANTLERS IN CAMP
Head or skull plate, with both antlers naturally
attached, must accompany the carcass of bulls
in camp or in transit, even when the scrotum
or testicles are used as evidence of sex.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY. LEAVE NO TRACE!

The LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES are the best way to minimize your impact while hunting:
▶ PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road closures,
leave gates as found.
▶ TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made. Use existing sites whenever possible.
▶ DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out. All trash including food scraps and toilet paper.
▶ LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs for target practice.
Clean all gear between trips.
▶ MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t put trash or food in the fire pit.
▶ RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals; store your camp food and trash securely.
▶ BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous
and welcoming to others you see.
The LNT Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws, and encourages
all hunters to put Leave No Trace skills and ethics into action on every hunt. This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership
with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information, visit: LNT.org

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game
meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health
department or CPW office for information on wildlife
diseases where they plan to hunt. Public health officials
recommend the following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found
dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW
office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol
wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use.
Use hot soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent
chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices
from adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

▶ RIFLE

OCT. 7–15*

All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables

same species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license, or two
List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license and one List B
license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See below for your options of getting more than one pronghorn license!

Check hunt code tables for early and late rifle
season dates for certain hunts, pages 56–57.

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

MOST LAND IS PRIVATE EAST OF I-25, IN MANY
PRONGHORN HUNTING AREAS. Landowner permission

is advisable before applying for the following units, as
most land is private: 9, 104, 107, 110, 112, 113, 114, 115,
116, 120, 121, 128, 129, 130, 132, 136, 137 and 214.

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY RIFLE HUNTS IN GMU GROUPING
120, 121, 125 &amp; 126: The GMU grouping of 120, 121, 125

and 126 has one new buck hunt and two new doe hunts. See
“Rifle” table, page 57.

▶ NEW ARCHERY AND RIFLE HUNTS FOR GMU 83: See pages 55-56.
Sample muzzleloader pronghorn table, page 55

▶ NEW A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for which

an average of at least six preference points are needed for a
Colorado resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a license
will be drawn. These hunt codes are calculated by the number
of preference points an adult Colorado resident needed to
draw a specific license on average during the previous 3
limited license draws, with a one year lag. See the following
hunt code tables.

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR. Additional
licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.

PREFERENCE POINTS
To apply for a preference point, enter A-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your
primary draw application to use another year. You can use your
second through fourth choices on the same application to apply
for a license. You may only submit one application per species,
per draw, per year. Note that the secondary draw does not gain
or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point
fee. The application fee, $11.50 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. See page 9.

Check the hunt code tables for separate cow and bull/either-sex moose
hunting opportunities.
*unless otherwise noted in the brochure tables

NEED TO KNOW

LIST A, B &amp; C: GET MORE THAN ONE MOOSE LICENSE
All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables (see
table example below). The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same
species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license,
or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See the chart below for your options of getting more than one moose license!

▶ NEW NEW RESIDENT COW MOOSE HUNTS FOR GMUs 33, 34, 44,
45, 47 &amp; 471: See pages 59­–60 for the new cow hunts for
archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons.

▶ NEW NEW BULL MOOSE HUNTS FOR GMUs 33, 34, 47 &amp; 471: See
page 61 for the new resident season choice bull hunts.

▶ UNITS 1, 20, 38, 44, 45, 53, 54, 55, 63, 65, 68, 74, 75, 79, 201,
551 &amp; 681 have low-density moose populations, and currently there is very little harvest history for these hunts.
Some moose habitat occurs on private land, so be sure to
get landowner permission before hunting.

▶ THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered moose is one. All

licenses available by draw. If you’ve harvested a bull, you
may not apply for an antlered or either-sex license.

DON’T FORGET!

You can exchange your moose license for a different method of take
within the same unit. Take your tag to a CPW location to exchange
it to hunt in a different season. The exchange fee still applies: $5 flat
fee (formerly 50 percent of the cost of the license, not to exceed $25)

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must complete and
return a mandatory report provided by CPW within 30
days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does
not complete and return it, including those who were
unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a
future moose license or point.

2. ALL MOOSE MUST BE PRESENTED IN PERSON FOR INSPECTION
within five working days of harvest. Hunters must submit
the head and lower jaw of antlered moose with antlers
attached, and either the head and lower jaw OR an incisor
of antlerless moose to a CPW office during normal business hours. A mandatory report will be completed during
inspection.

3. TOOTH EXTRACTION IS MANDATORY. An incisor will be

removed from the lower jaw and retained to determine age.
Heads must be unfrozen for inspection.

Sample archery moose table, page 59

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR.
Additional licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over-the-counter or special
licenses issued by CPW.

Hunters are encouraged to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping
archery and muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns.
See "Hunter Orange &amp; Pink" on page 15.

2023 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: MOOSE

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 11.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male with antlers at least 5 inches long.
▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female with no antlers. “Antlerless” also means a young male with
antlers less than 5 inches long.

�MOOSE

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE; PREFERENCE POINT FEE; WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
▶ To apply for a preference point only, enter M-P999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code on your
application. You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second choice
on the same application to apply for a license.
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat have a preference and weighted
preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your first choice hunt, you’ll
be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth
and resident lifetime license holders. Residents who
are in the military on active duty outside Colorado
can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out your draw
application(s), and therefore will not be charged
the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or
weighted point for 2023. This includes if you

apply for a preference point hunt code as your
first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on
file will be charged after the draw. The application fee, $11.50 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be
charged, you will get an email notification. If
you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 16),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2023.
For more, see “Preference Points” on page 9.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE WEIGHTED
PREFERENCE POINTS:
1. There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability
of drawing and applies to both male and female
licenses.

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different,
random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat
applies to preference points AND weighted preference points. For more details, go to: cpw.info/
weighted-preference

more than one license for the same species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B
license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See below for your options of getting more than one bear license!

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW PREFERENCE POINT REQUIREMENT UPDATED FOR CERTAIN GMU
851 RIFLE BEAR HUNT CODES: Several limited rifle bear hunt codes

for GMU 851, Bosque del Oso SWA only, now have an average of at
least six preference points needed for a Colorado resident to draw
that license. This is only an average and does not guarantee a license
will be drawn. These hunt codes are calculated by the number of
preference points an adult Colorado resident needed to draw a specific license on average during the previous 3 limited license draws,
with a one year lag. See page 65 and What’s New.

▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THECOUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available in
unlimited numbers as “add-on” licenses only: You can add on one
of these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for
the same method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for
deer (pages 23–26) and elk (pages 42–44), and the OTC
archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for the available addon OTC bear license hunts. Go to cpw.info/bear-hunts and check
out the full list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and
hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

BEAR-SPECIFIC HUNTING LAWS
▶ INSIDE DENS: Hunting, harvesting or harassing bears inside their
dens is prohibited.

▶ CUBS: Black bears accompanied by one or more cubs cannot be

killed. Cubs (bears younger than one year old) cannot be killed.
▶ HIDES: Having a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears without
a valid hunting license or unless authorized by CPW is illegal. It is
also illegal to sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall
bladders or edible portions of bears.
▶ CARCASS TAGS: See page 16 for detailed instructions on when to
detach your tag and how to transport your harvest.
▶ See pages 14–16 for important additional hunting laws.

PREFERENCE POINTS
To apply for a preference point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your firstchoice hunt code on your primary draw application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your primary
draw application to use another year. You can use your second
through fourth choices on the same application to apply for a license.
You may only submit one application per species, per draw, per year.
Note that the secondary draw does not gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point fee. The
application fee, $11.50 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are non62 refundable. See “Preference Points” on page 9.

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS &amp; SEALS

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!

Hunters must personally present their
bear to any CPW office (see inside front
cover) during normal business hours,
or by appointment with a CPW officer,
for a free inspection, check report and
sealing within five working days after
harvest.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection.
Seals must be attached to the hide until
tanned. Meat needs to be prepared for
human consumption.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If
the head and hide are frozen, CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that

There are multiple ways to get a license and hunt bear in Colorado. For example:
Hunter A: Hunter A only likes to hunt bear, so hunter A would need to:
1. Apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license from the hunt
code tables on pages 63–65. And/or:
2. Buy an over-the-counter rifle bear license when OTC licenses go on sale Aug. 1
at 9 a.m. (hunt code tables on page 67).
Hunter B: Hunter B is planning to draw a deer or elk license, so hunter B has two options:
1. Also apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license.
2. Wait to see if they are awarded an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license,
and then add on an over-the-counter bear license of the same method of
take that matches at least one of the same units when OTC licenses go on sale.
Hunter C: Hunter C does not participate in the draw, but purchases an over-the-counter
archery elk license every year. Hunter C will wait until over-the-counter licenses
go on sale, purchase an OTC archery elk license, and then add on an OTC archery
bear license that matches at least one of the same units. There are no OTC archery
deer licenses or OTC muzzleloader licenses for any species available.

a tooth can be removed. Hunters can
help by making sure the jaw is propped
open with a stick before rigor mortis
sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until hide and skull are inspected
and sealed. Having a bear hide without
a seal after the five-day period is illegal,
and the hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a
foreign country, you must first obtain
CITES documents. Contact the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 303-3427430. Do not call the U.S Fish and
Wildlife Service about inspections or
seals for bears.

�BEAR

ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
Hunting bear during archery and muzzleloader deer and elk seasons:
▶ WHEN YOU SEE THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL: You can purchase an addon over-the-counter archery or muzzleloader bear license ONLY
if you have a deer or elk license for the same method of take:
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during
archery season before you can purchase an over-the-counter
archery bear license.
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during muzzleloader
season before you can purchase an over-the-counter muzzleloader bear
license.
■ At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match
one unit listed on your bear license.

▶ CHECK THE DEER &amp; ELK HUNT CODE TABLES: Look for the bear paw symbol in the
archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk
(pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) to find
hunts with add-on archery and muzzleloader bear licenses available.
▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear any time during the dates specified in
the archery and muzzleloader tables below, with the correct method of take.
▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any of the unit(s) listed in the
table for which your bear license is valid. If your deer or elk license is for
private land only, you must use your bear license on private land only.
OVER-THE-COUNTER RIFLE LICENSES: OTC rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on licenses,
meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one of these bear
licenses. See the next page for more information on over-the-counter rifle licenses.

ARCHERY — ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
SEASON DATES: Sept. 2–30 — SEX: Either — You must hold an archery deer or elk license to purchase one of these licenses. — Do not apply in the draw for these hunts.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
All archery, muzzleloader and rifle bear licenses that are sold over the counter
are unlimited in number. There are no longer licenses with caps. These are
either-sex licenses and can be purchased at CPW locations, sales agents, by
phone (1-800-244-5613) or online at cpw.state.co.us. You can purchase licenses
even after a season has started: Available online, by phone and in person at
CPW offices and sales agents around the state.

These licenses are NOT available through the draws. If you apply for these
hunt codes in a draw, your application will be automatically disqualified. Licenses are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 A.M. on AUG 1.
Certain rules apply to over-the-counter archery and muzzleloader bear
licenses: See “Add-on Over-the-Counter Licenses” on the previous page.

REMEMBER! Over-the-counter rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on licenses, meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one of the bear licenses in the tables below.

DEER: MUZZLELOADER HUNT CODE TABLE

26

The deer muzzleloader hunt code
table was not complete at the time

The correct information is:

itself.

ELK: MUZZLELOADER &amp; RIFLE HUNT CODE TABLE
One muzzleloader cow elk hunt
code and several rifle cow elk hunt

The correct information is:

Elk muzzleloader hunt code table, page 43

muzzleloader:
Hunt code E-F-014-O1-M is a

�WHAT'S NEW

WHAT’S NEW: 2022

AT A GLANCE

▶ A BRIEF PERIOD TO SURRENDER YOUR LICENSE AFTER THE PRIMARY DRAW
IS NOW AVAILABLE: Once the draw is complete, CPW will send emails to

customers who are successful in the draw and provide them with a short
period when they can decide to surrender their license if they no longer
want it, receiving preference point restoration to the pre-draw level, a
refund of the license fee and removal of the license from the customer's
account.
The deadline for this surrender period is Mon., June 6, at 11:59 p.m. MT.
If we're unable to charge the credit card on file in your account by the
primary draw payment deadline (June 17, midnight MT), your license
will be forfeited, and you will lose both the license and any preference
points you used to draw it. See page 8 for more details.

▶ THE LICENSE EXCHANGE FEE POLICY HAS CHANGED: All license exchanges

will now be charged a fee of $5 (formerly 50 percent of the cost of the
license, not to exceed $25). See "Exchanges" on page 8 and more details on
our website: cpw.state.co.us/refunds#exchanges

▶ THERE IS NO LONGER A MAXIMUM LET-OFF PERCENTAGE FOR HAND-HELD
BOWS: See "Hand-held Bows," page 14.
▶ BOUNDARY MODIFICATIONS FOR SOME GMUs: See the updated descriptions

for GMUs 11 and 211 starting on page 69, "Game Management Unit
(GMU) Descriptions." GMUs 3, 4, 12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33 and 301 have had
the "Colo. 13/789" boundary description clarified as "Colo. 13."

▶ REMEMBER THAT YOUTH-ONLY HUNT CODES ARE PART OF THE YOUTH
PREFERENCE DRAW! The same hunt code choice requirement applies: If

youth enter more than one hunt code on their application, ALL HUNT CODES
must be youth-preference-eligible hunt codes and/or youth-only hunt codes.
Eligible hunt codes for youth preference are limited license hunt codes
for doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex deer, and antlerless elk. Any
hunt code with a "K" in the season is a youth-only hunt code, such as
D-F-043-K2-R. See "The Draw(s): Youth Draw Preference" on page 17 for
more information on youth hunting.

▶ MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING IN SELECT GMUs:

In 2022, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt
codes. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for mandatory CWD
testing. Hunters that harvest a deer in the specified hunt codes will be
required to submit their deer head to a CPW submission site for testing.
There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information
about where and how to submit a CWD sample: cpw.state.co.us/cwd
If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know
whether their harvested deer or elk has CWD, they can submit their animal's head and pay a testing fee of $25. In 2022, testing fees for voluntary
submissions will be waived for all moose statewide and all deer from hunt
codes that were not selected for mandatory testing but are within the
same GMUs that were selected for mandatory testing. Voluntary submissions are accepted annually statewide. See page 22 of the "Deer" section for
a list of the mandatory GMUs and page 13 for more about CWD.

WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
Colorado offers 10 big-game species. This brochure
has hunting rules and options for deer (mule and
whitetail), elk, pronghorn, moose and bear.
Pick the species and sex you're interested in hunting:
Page 11 has information that helps identify
different big-game animals.

Each year, a set (limited) number of licenses is allotted to each GMU.
You can apply for the big game draw(s) to get one of these limited
licenses, or after the draws are over, you can purchase a remaining
(leftover) limited license when they go on sale.
Some licenses for elk, pronghorn and bear are also available without
needing to enter the draw(s) and are not restricted in quantity
(unlimited). These can be purchased over the counter after they go on
sale online, by phone and in person at sales agents around the state.

READ THIS BROCHURE!
7 Now
that you have a plan, be sure to read through this brochure to

help get your license and be prepared out in the field.
The first 19 pages have all of your basic hunting
information: new changes, license information, options and sales
dates, general information, hunting laws, application information
and deadlines, and how to read the hunt code tables.
Pages 20–67 break out each of the six big-game species in
this brochure into their own sections. Each section has speciesspecific regulation changes, season dates, how to get more than
one license and hunt code tables.
The last few pages, 68–73, provide a GMU map and detailed
descriptions of the GMU boundaries and specific land restrictions.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
3 Colorado
is divided into hunting areas called game management units
(i.e. GMUs). It's important that every hunter knows the boundaries of
their hunting area, including private land boundaries. Check out the
state map and unit descriptions in the back of this brochure or online:

The first rifle season is limited to elk and bear hunting only. The
second, third and fourth rifle seasons are for elk, bear and deer
hunters, who will be in the field at the same time.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HUNT WITH?
5 Colorado
has seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle/associated

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: PLANNING YOUR HUNT &amp; HUNTING LICENSE DEFINITIONS

Follow us on social
media to see how
we're celebrating
CPW's 125th
Anniversary!

�HUNT TERMS

HUNTING LICENSE TERMS &amp; DEFINITIONS
LICENSE TYPES

◆ Qualifying licenses: A current-year qualifying license is required in order
to apply for any of the big-game draws. See page 4 for more.

◆ Limited licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for

specific units and dates for each species, and are issued through an application and draw process.

LIMITED LICENSES INCLUDE:

Public land licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are valid
on all CPW-owned or leased public lands, private lands and most federal lands in the specific units listed on your license/in this brochure.
Private-land-only licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are
only valid on private lands in the specific GMUs listed on your license/
in this brochure. If your license hunt code has a "P" in the second-tolast part, it's valid on private land ONLY. For example: E-F-007-P5-R.
You MUST get landowner permission before applying for these licenses.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary draw.
They become the licenses eligible for the secondary draw, and any remaining licenses after the secondary draw become available as over-thecounter leftover limited licenses (see "leftover limited licenses" below).
Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses: Licenses that are available on certain
ranch properties for Colorado residents only. See: cpw.state.co.us/rfw
Season choice licenses: Licenses that let you hunt in any or all of the seasons (archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle and associated methods) in specified units
with the correct method of take until your license is filled. These licenses
are available for deer and bull or either-sex moose only. See pages 32 and 61.

◆ Over-the-counter (OTC) licenses: Licenses (unlimited, unlimited add-on

bear and leftover limited) that are available without having to go through
the draw(s). They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do
not use preference points and may be purchased any time before and
during a season. They're available at over 650 sales agents around the
state, including CPW offices and state parks, online, or by phone.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES INCLUDE:

Unlimited licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in quantity by CPW. You
may purchase these licenses when over-the-counter licenses go on sale.
"Unlimited" does not mean you can purchase an unlimited number of
licenses: See the "List A, B &amp; C" definition at top right.
Add-on bear licenses: If you have an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk
license, you can purchase an OTC bear license for the same method
of take. At least one hunting unit must overlap on both licenses. See
the deer and elk hunt tables for available hunts (look for the bear paw
symbol!), pages 20 and 35, and "Bear," page 66.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary or secondary draws go on the Leftover List. Reissued licenses (see "reissues,"
bottom right and page 8) also go onto the list. These are available for
purchase in person, online or at sales agents starting on leftover day.

◆ Landowner preference program (LPP) vouchers: The LPP encour-

ages private landowners to provide habitat for the benefit of wildlife
populations and to relieve hunting pressure on public lands. Deer, elk
and pronghorn vouchers are allocated to landowners who meet certain
qualifications. Applications are drawn during the primary draw, and successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The voucher is transferred directly to a hunter, who then purchases a
license to hunt. See page 7 and cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner.

BIG GAME DRAWS
Primary draw: The first, main big-game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

Secondary draw: This draw replaces the big-game leftover draw from past

years and includes deer, elk, pronghorn and bear. Applicants can apply
for the secondary draw whether or not they applied for the primary
draw. Preference points are not used or awarded in this draw.

LIST
LIST A, BB &amp;&amp;CC

List A, B &amp; C: All big-game hunting

licenses are either List A, B or
C, as indicated in the hunt code
tables (see image at right ▶) or
next to most of the OTC maps.
The List types exist so that you
know if you can get more than
one license for the same species:
Sample rifle deer table, page 27
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A
license and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as
well as one List A license and one List B license, or two List B licenses =
A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.

PREFERENCE
POINTS
PREFERENCE POINTS
Preference points: Preference points help hunters to be successful in future
primary draws because points add up per species until an applicant
draws a first-choice license. One preference point is awarded to each
applicant who qualifies for and DOES NOT draw their first-choice limited
license for deer, elk, pronghorn or bear in the primary draw, or who
applies using a specific preference-point hunt code that gets them a
preference point only as their first choice.

Weighted preference points: For moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep

and mountain goat, applicants with at least three preference points will
be awarded a weighted preference point in subsequent draws and will be
given weighted preference during the license draw. See page 9 and
cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for more details.

OTHER
DEFINITIONS
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Carcass tag: The bottom portion of a hunting license, to be signed, removed
and kept with the carcass ONLY after harvesting the animal. See page 16.
CWD: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that
attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose, and has been found in several
regions in the state. In 2022, CPW will require mandatory submission of
CWD test samples for deer from certain hunt codes. See pages 13 and 20.
Float groups: When the quota — or number of licenses available — is assigned to a group of hunt codes, rather than just one, that is considered a
float group. If you draw or purchase a hunt code in a float group, you may
exchange that hunt code for another hunt in that group for a fee as long
as your season hasn't started.
GMU: Huntable areas are broken down into units called "game management
units." These units help you decide where you'd like to hunt. See the GMU
map on the inside back cover.
Method of take: Colorado has hunting seasons based on archery, muzzleloader, and rifle and associated methods. "Associated methods" are shotguns,
handguns, muzzleloaders that are a minumum of .40 caliber (.50 caliber
for elk and moose), hand-held bows and crossbows. See table on page
14 for details on which method you can use to hunt each of the big-game
species in this brochure.
Refunds: You can get a refund OR have your preference points restored for a
big-game license that you draw. You must return the license to CPW at
least 30 days before the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Reissues: Most limited licenses that have been returned will be made available to other hunters through a reissue process. Returned limited licenses
that took 5 or more preference points to draw will be offered to the next
applicant in line, up to 5 applicants. Those that took 4 or fewer preference
points to draw will be available to the public on the Leftover List.
Exchanges: You can exchange a license, as long as the license you want to get
is for a hunt code for the same species as the current license and there is
quota remaining (except for float groups and some unlimited licenses). In
most cases, you can exchange from an OTC license to a limited license of
the same species and vice versa. Note that there are no refunds or preference point restorations available on exchanged licenses. The fee to exchange is NEW $5. Once a season starts, an exchange is no longer available.

NONRESIDENT LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw
a specific license during a 3-year period that ended with the
2009 drawing. (Units with low numbers of available licenses
may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
CPW is in the process of reassessing resident/nonresident license allocation and offers multiple opportunities
for the public to get involved. The timeline for this process
is now through the fall of 2022. For more information, read
the CPW Big Game Hunting License Distribution FAQ or
subscribe to our Hunting eNews for the latest information:
cpw.state.co.us
1. For elk and deer hunt codes that required six or more points
for a Colorado resident to draw, up to 20 percent may go to
nonresidents. These hunts are designated in unit tables by a
+ under the SEX column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for a
Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up to 35
percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain
after all Colorado resident first choices have been drawn for
that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and
Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and
nonresidents, all nonresidents in the group will count
against the nonresident allocation; if all nonresident allocation is gone, the group will not draw.

160 contiguous acres of private agricultural land. Further qualifications
apply: cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
▶ GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the quota of public licenses may be

percent of the public quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher.
▶ GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the quota of public licenses may be
issued as a voucher valid for a specific hunt code. An additional 10
percent of the public quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher and may only be transferred to a youth or an immediate

3. LPP applications are drawn just before CPW’s public limited drawing.
Successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
Landowners will be notified at the same time as public applicants.
4. The deadline to register for 2022 has passed. Registrations for 2023
may be submitted through Dec. 1, 2022, at the web address listed

FOR HUNTERS:

1. The landowner or designated land manager must transfer the voucher

person who is not the landowner or designated land manager is void.
A voucher that is brokered for another person is void. A hunting
license obtained for use with a void voucher is also void. No person
shall broker a voucher on behalf of any landowner or person, or use or
possess any brokered voucher.
2. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one time only. The transfer of
the voucher occurs when the hunter’s name is written on the voucher,
or the landowner or designated land manager hands (or mails) the
voucher to the hunter.
3. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The
voucher CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even if
the voucher has not been redeemed for a license.

the voucher was awarded, without discrimination among hunters
entering the land. Restrictions are not allowed, except for manner of
access (i.e. foot, horseback, vehicle) reasonably necessary to prevent
damage to land.
6. The hunter must take the voucher in person to a sales agent or CPW
location to be redeemed for a proper and valid license PRIOR to
hunting. The appropriate license fees are paid at that time.
7. A list of landowners is NOT available from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; PREFERENCE POINTS

�PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED PER SPECIES APPLIED FOR
to hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a
license for a first-choice hunt code in the primary draw for biggame species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code (see below).

Preference points are only used during the primary draw,
they do not apply for the secondary draw.
2. YOUTH AGES 12–17 can apply for a point. Youth age 11 can also apply
for a point, provided they turn 12 in 2022.
3. PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE: You can gain a preference point
as a first choice on your application to use another year; specific
preference-point hunt codes are listed at the beginning of each
species section in this brochure. You can also choose other hunt
codes as your second, third or fourth choices. Do not submit a
separate application for preference points, or both applications will
be disqualified.

PREFERENCE POINT FEE
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat have a preference and weighted preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your
first choice hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth and resident lifetime
license holders. Residents who are in the military on active duty outside of
Colorado can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the preference point fee while
filling out your draw application(s), and therefore will not be charged the
fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point for 2022. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on file will be charged after
the draw. The application fee, $10.59 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be charged, we will email you.
If you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 17), you will forfeit your
preference point for 2022.

WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS

4. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated
preference points for that species become void and return to zero.

1. There are three species of big-game animals that use the weighted
preference point system to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.

5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If
an applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a
license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all
accumulated preference points for that species become void.

2. Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to
both male and female licenses.

6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the license
quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded, and except for the
hybrid draw. See page 19 for hybrid draw information and hunt codes.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the
fewest points. See "Apply as a Group for Hunts" at: cpw.state.co.us/
applyforgrouphunts
8. SECOND-, THIRD-, FOURTH-CHOICE, over-the-counter, leftover limited
licenses and the secondary draw don’t use or generate points.
9. PREFERENCE POINT FEE: The preference point fee does not apply to
deer, elk, pronghorn or bear. See right for details on the preference
point fee for moose, Rocky Mtn. bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW
account: Go to cpw.state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."
11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN HUNTERS.
Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt codes, sex,
unit(s), season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim
Colorado as their home of residence and are deployed outside the
U.S. are eligible, when they return home, to apply for preference
points for any primary draws they missed while deployed.
Applications will be available at the end of July.

See the draw application and preference point flowchart online:

cpw.state.co.us/qualifyinglicenses

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat. If you have three preference points and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then dividing that
new application number by the number of weighted points you have,
plus one. Individuals with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. Go to cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for more details.

GET THE LEAD OUT
Go to CDPHE.COLORADO.GOV/LEAD-HEALTH and click
"For the public" to see the Lead in Harvested Wild Game factsheet.
From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as far
into the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with your
commercial processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for which an average of at
least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that license. This
is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
These calculations are based on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; GENERAL INFORMATION

Sample rifle deer table, page 27
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes
within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you'll look next to locate the game management unit (GMU) you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully.
Some licenses are valid in one unit only, while others are valid in multiple
units. This column also indicates which hunts offer add-on bear licenses
in the over-the-counter deer and elk archery and muzzleloader tables:
Look for the bear paw symbol!
3. THE VALID GMUs COLUMN will display information for each hunt and
whether it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit
before you hunt.
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the
VALID GMUs column will list all the game management units (GMUs)
where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the
chart will read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt.
4. THE DATES COLUMN lists the applicable season/hunt dates when the license
is valid. Each unit may have multiple hunt dates, so please read carefully.
5. THE SEX COLUMN indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that
specific hunt code. Read the information carefully because the sex of an
animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE COLUMN displays the code you will use to apply for
the license you want. There are many possible hunt codes associated with
each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted, so
please read carefully. See section at left on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST COLUMN displays what type of license you are buying. There are
opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as
the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C.
For details, see the "List A, B &amp; C: Get More Than One License" charts under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages.
When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application.
NOTE: You may submit one application for each species, per draw, per year.
For each application, you may fill in up to 4 hunt code choices.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Field dress the animal, then call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office
nearest to you, listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s
most responsible plan of action.

Check out the "Colorado's Big-Game Species" video! See how to identify our 10 big-game species: vimeo.com/478718115
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half
hour after sunset, unless specifically restricted. Go to cpw.state.co.us/hunting
resources for a link to current sunrise/sunset tables and more information.

GUIDES &amp; OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They
also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of
Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202; 303-8947778; or dpo.colorado.gov/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide invaluable
resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the
above office or the Colorado Outfitters Association online: coloradooutfitters.org

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
▶ HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

Hunters must wear at least 500 square inches of solid fluorescent orange or
pink material and a fluorescent orange or pink hat, visible from all angles,
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm license.
Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged, though not
required, to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery
and muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. See page 15 for
more details.

▶ CARCASS TAGS

Be sure to sign and detach your carcass tag from your hunting license
directly AFTER you harvest your animal, and make sure you attach it to your
take properly. See page 16 for all the information you need on carcass tags.

▶ OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHVs)

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on
public lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route
must have a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31. OHV permits
(applicable for nonresidents and street-legal/plated vehicles) are available online
at cpw.state.co.us/bg/ohvpermit, at CPW locations and sales agents.
Questions, call 303-297-1192. Renewal registrations are available online and
at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person or
by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

▶ MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location
of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for
hunters who harvest a moose or bear, as these species require
mandatory inspections. See pages 58 (moose), 63 (bear) and
page 13. During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to
give a location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes
reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude
and latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the
check report form during harvest inspections.

▶ HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30
days before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia
within a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection
before transportation. Call the brand inspector: 303-869-9160

▶ EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

�GENERAL

HOW TO HELP OUT CPW
HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days. Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or email, asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal
and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding (even if you didn’t hunt or harvest) is an important part of setting future seasons and license numbers. If contacted, you
can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free
phone number 1-855-924-4278. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct.
through mid-Feb. See the CPW website for details: cpw.state.co.us

HERD MANAGEMENT: YOUR INPUT IS WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a
herd management plan review process during which CPW updates management objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population
size and the ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence
decisions about how many licenses of each type can be made available in
any given year.
Every plan update allows for public comment and review. CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about how
big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these important
opportunities to have your voice heard.
Information about current plans and opportunities to inform plan
updates are available on our webpage. You can also receive notices by
signing up for CPW's Insider email list from our webpage. Find herd
management plan info: cpw.state.co.us/hmp

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

The TIPs program awards licenses and preference points to eligible
persons that report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big

game or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal take,
possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the charging officer of your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/
tips for the criteria to qualify for a preference point or license, or contact
CPW for details at 303-297-1192.

MANDATORY INSPECTIONS &amp; REPORTS FOR MOOSE &amp; BEAR
MOOSE: Hunters must personally present their moose to a CPW office
(listed on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working
days of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a
mandatory report and lower incisor extraction. Heads must be unfrozen.
Hunters must submit the head and lower jaw of antlered moose with antlers
attached, or the head and lower jaw OR an incisor of antlerless moose.
Additionally, all moose license holders must complete and return a
mandatory report provided by CPW within 30 days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does not complete and return it, including those
who were unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point. See "Mandatory Moose Inspections," page 58.
BEAR: Hunters must personally present their bear to any CPW office (listed
on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working days
of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a mandatory report, sealing and premolar tooth extraction. Heads and hides must
be unfrozen. See "Mandatory Bear Inspections &amp; Seals," page 63, for more.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
CPW property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, 303-869-9031; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

1

WHAT IS IT?

2

WHERE IS IT?

3

MANDATORY TESTING 2022

4

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated,
display abnormal behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show
no signs of illness.
The map in the back of this brochure highlights game management units in
red and yellow where CWD has been detected (inside back cover). CWD has
been found in several regions in Colorado, as well as other states and provinces. For deer, infection rates tend to be highest in prime-aged mature bucks.
See the CWD prevalence maps for deer and elk on pages 21 and 37.

In 2022, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific hunt codes
to better evaluate the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge
for mandatory testing. Not all hunt codes in a unit were selected for
mandatory CWD testing. Find the hunt codes selected for mandatory
testing on pages 22–31 .

If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer or elk has CWD, they can submit their animal's head and
pay a testing fee of $25. In 2022, testing fees for voluntary submissions will
be waived for all moose statewide and all deer from hunt codes that were
not selected for mandatory testing but are within the same GMUs that
were selected for mandatory testing (see list of GMUs on page 22). Voluntary
submissions are accepted annually statewide.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
Disease in humans resulting from CWD exposure has not been reported to date. However,
public health officials cannot determine there
is no risk from eating meat from infected
animals. Consequently, officials recommend
that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected animals. Please see
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
website (cdphe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/
prion-diseases) for the most current recommendations on
carcass testing and other preventive measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public
health officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume
any deer, elk or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be
sick. When field-dressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw to cut through the brain or spinal
cord (backbone). Minimize contact with brain or spinal cord
tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always wash hands and
utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing game meat.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
Find complete regulations online: cpw.state.co.us/regulations

THE TOP 10 MOST COMMON HUNTING VIOLATIONS IN COLORADO:
1. TRESPASSING. Going onto private lands without getting permission first

while hunting, fishing or performing any related activity is illegal. Private
lands do not need to be posted or fenced, so it can be difficult to see
boundaries. Violators may be suspended for up to 5 years for trespassing. This includes State Land Board properties not leased and signed by
CPW, unless permission is given by the lessee.
You must have permission from the landowner to enter private land to
retrieve a harvested animal. First, you should try to contact the landowner
on your own. If that effort fails, call the local CPW office (inside front cover).

2. Failing to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound or
may have wounded. Remember that it's against the law to pursue wounded
wildlife that goes on private property without first obtaining permission
from the landowner or person in charge. You must still attempt to gain
permission to enter and locate the animal.

3. Failing to reasonably dress, care for, prepare and provide edible wildlife meat
for human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and

backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible meat.

4. Hunting without a proper license. Anyone who hunts wildlife must have

in their possession the appropriate and valid Colorado resident or
nonresident license that includes their Customer Identification (CID)
number, and must only harvest wildlife of the species and type indicated
on the license.

5. Mistakenly killing wildlife. You must report big-game animals unintentionally killed, not due to carelessness or negligence, to a CPW office (inside
front cover) (or the local Sheriff 's office after CPW regular hours) before
continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting CPW, field
dress the animal. CPW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired,
species and number of animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big
game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.

6. Not showing evidence of sex. Be sure to leave evidence of sex naturally

attached to the carcass. Evidence includes the head, the vulva or the scrotum. See "Evidence of Sex" on page 16 for more details.

7. Carrying loaded firearms while in or on any motor vehicle. Firearms must be

unloaded in the chamber. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded
if the percussion cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is
removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronicignition muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle; the chamber must be
unloaded or the battery must be disconnected and removed from its compartment. Most accidents involving firearms occur in or near vehicles.

8. Carrying loaded firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear seasons. Firearms (except handguns) must be un-

loaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or
their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on
property they own or lease.

9. Improperly voiding and/or attaching a carcass tag. You must sign and detach

the carcass tag from your hunting license immediately following taking
your animal. It is illegal to sign or tear the carcass tag before harvest. The tag
must also be attached to the animal properly. See "Carcass Tags," page 16.

10. Shooting from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow.

People firing a bow, rifle, handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be at
least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.

FELONY OFFENSES:
If convicted of a felony violation, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
▶ To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
▶ To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
▶ To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.

HUNTING LAWS

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK
HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK DURING CERTAIN HUNTING SEASONS.
The law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight
fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material on an outer garment above
the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm
license. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or head covering, visible from all
directions, is also required. Camouflage orange or pink does not qualify. Mesh
garments are legal but not recommended. This includes all muzzleloader
hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle seasons.
Archers hunting during the limited Sept. rifle bear season, archers with an
archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, and archers licensed for
private land hunting through the Ranching for Wildlife program do not have
to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but should consider wearing it to increase
safety while in the field. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to
wear orange or pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display
orange or pink that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
CPW RECOMMENDS WEARING FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK CLOTHES IN THE FIELD,
EVEN IF NOT HUNTING. Archery deer, elk, moose and bear hunters are encouraged to wear hunter orange or pink during the overlapping archery and
muzzleloader seasons to help address safety concerns. Wearing orange or
pink is for hunter safety, as big-game animals don’t see these colors like we do:
Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.
IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
▶ Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life
or property.
▶ Hunt outside of legal hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour
after sunset).
▶ Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey
to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects;
making movements; harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers
to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire.
Violators face prosecution and may have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
▶ Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
▶ Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and
cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased,
not unstrung.
▶ Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or
aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
▶ Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same day or day
after a flight was made to find wildlife.
▶ For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law or regulation.
▶ Use computer-assisted remote technology (any device, equipment or software used
to remotely control a weapon, including the Internet) to hunt or fish. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting/ fishing.
▶ Use unmanned or remote-control drones to look for, scout or detect wildlife.
▶ Use live-action game cameras to locate, surveil, or aid/assist in locating/surveiling
game wildlife in order to take/try to take wildlife during the same or following day.
"Live-action game camera" is any device capable of recording and transmitting
photographic/video data wirelessly to a remote device (such as a computer or smart
phone). This doesn't include game cameras that record photographic/video data
and store such data for later use, as long as the device cannot transmit data wirelessly.
▶ Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
▶ Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
▶ Fail to extinguish a campfire completely.
▶ Party hunt (i.e. harvest someone else’s game or let someone harvest yours).
▶ Use dogs. A leashed dog may be used as an aid in locating/recovering wounded biggame animals, except for black bears, with purchase of annual tracking permit.
▶ Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the
bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for
normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like
food are illegal for bears.
▶ Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
▶ Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters.
Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be erected on CPW
land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season during which they will be used.
No nails can be driven into trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands must
be removed within 10 days after the season they are used in ends. The owner’s CID
number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable blinds or underside
of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not reserve them for personal
use: They may be used on first-come, first-served basis.

�HUNTING LAWS

LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes,
including felony offenses and domestic violence-related offenses, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been convicted of a crime, check
with the appropriate Colorado and federal law enforcement authority to find
out how these laws apply to you.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by Child Support Enforcement.

BAG LIMITS
1. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally take of each species. Big game taken in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the
maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
2. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
3. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your
big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a
small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does
not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS

16

▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals
you harvest per instructions on tag. Tags
must be signed, dated and detached from
the license immediately upon harvest. See
image at right for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the
carcass (not to detached hides, horns or
antlers carried separately) immediately
prior to and during transportation in any
vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence
or other place of storage. Tags must stay
on until meat is processed and remain
with meat until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and
attached to the species lawfully taken or
killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign the tag before harvesting an animal.
▶Do not remove any parts of a license except
the carcass tag only after harvest. Doing
so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate. The upper part of the license
must be kept by whoever harvested the
animal.
▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license is valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as
the rest of the license is intact.

sample 2022 hunting license

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone else
made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must
accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag
or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place
for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to
have CWD.
6. See page 36 of the "Elk" section for antler-point restrictions.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Carcass tag portion of license

Detach and sign the carcass tag only
AFTER harvesting your animal.
You must then attach the tag to the
carcass (not to the head or antlers).

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS &amp; YOUTH HUNTING

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient;
donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required.
It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and recipient
are subject to bag and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a license for
exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

�YOUTH HUNTS

YOUTH HUNTING

Deer, elk, pronghorn and bear opportunities for hunters ages 12–17

BIG-GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTH

Youth AGES 12–17 who meet hunter education
requirements (see page 6) have the opportunity to
hunt big game in several ways: through the draw(s)
or over the counter for regular seasons for deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear; during the youth extended
season for female deer, elk or pronghorn; and
through youth outreach licenses.
AGE REQUIREMENTS:
▶ Youth ages 12–17 are offered reduced-cost
licenses for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear.
▶ At age 11, youth may buy or apply for a license if
they will turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youth cannot hunt with the license until
they turn 12.
▶ Youth who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
extended season hunt. Youth hunting rules still
apply, even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
▶ Youth must be 12–17 at time of purchase to buy a
youth unlimited or leftover license.
▶ In order to receive a reduced-cost license and/or
youth preference in the draw, youth must be 17
or younger at the time of application.

THE DRAW(S): YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE

▶ A minimum of 15 percent of limited licenses for
doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex deer,
and antlerless elk for each GMU shall be available
for youth ages 12–17 who meet hunter education
requirements (see page 6).
These licenses are available by draw for all
seasons and methods of take, including early
and late rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn by
youth are available to the public. The Air Force
Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife hunts are
excluded from this.
▶ Group applications are not accepted.

▶ GMUs 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551 have youth preference set at 50 percent for all antlerless deer
licenses in those GMUs, if applicable.
▶ If youth enter more than one hunt code on their
application, ALL HUNT CODES must be youthpreference-eligible hunt codes (doe pronghorn,
antlerless or either-sex deer, and antlerless elk)
and/or youth-only hunt codes (such as D-F043-K2-R or E-E-851-K2-R).
▶ Youth receive preference on ALL HUNT CODES available in the secondary draw.

YOUTH EXTENDED SEASON

Youth may pursue antlerless deer or elk during any
rifle season open to antlerless hunts in valid GMUs
(see page 18), as well as hunt pronghorn does
during Dec. and the season that runs until Jan. 31,
2023 in GMUs 9 and 191 (see page 19).
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
▶ Youth must have an unfilled limited antlerless
deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license after
their original season ends. Then they may participate in any open rifle antlerless deer or elk hunt
that begins after the last day of the season listed
on their original license. (Does not include Ranching for Wildlife.) See pronghorn rules on page 19.
Youth may hunt in the areas specified on the
maps (pages 18–19), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
▶ Youth can now easily convert their unfilled
limited either-sex elk or either-sex pronghorn
license (where the season has ended) to a female
(antlerless) license through the new online
Youth Extended Hunt License Conversion
Request form. Find the form here: cpw.state.
co.us/youthhunting. Youth can also take their
original license to a CPW location to have it
converted to an antlerless license before hunting
any extended seasons.

YOUTH EXTENDED SEASON: DEER &amp; ELK HUNTS

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth may hunt only the species that is on
their original license. "Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk (cows), as well as young males of
both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license (see
"Purchasing and Converting Licenses" to the right) — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle
hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure, except
for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 18, and there
must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.

FOLLOW THE RULES

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 18 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the
rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle
season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

!

▶ Youth hunters 12–15 years old must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also
meets hunter education requirements. Youth and
mentors must be able to see and hear each other
while hunting. Mentors can hunt only if they
have a current license valid for the same units
and dates the youth will be hunting.
▶ Youth must follow all applicable regulations
for any hunts and units they select during the
extended season, including season dates and
geographic restrictions.
▶ Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses and
either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not be
converted for extended youth hunting.

YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES

Youth outreach licenses are offered for deer, elk
and pronghorn to qualified organizations sponsoring youth hunting activities. Organizations and
youth hunters can learn more at cpw.state.co.us/

DEER EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and deer licenses
may not be used to participate in the program. Limited either-sex elk licenses must
be converted to antlerless licenses, either
through the online Youth Extended
Hunt License Conversion Request form
(cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting) or at
a CPW office, and are only valid to hunt
and take antlerless elk after doing so.

FOR EXAMPLE: (see elk map at bottom left)

ELK EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during archery season and converts their unfilled
license (see options above).
■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online at
cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting.

■ If the youth wishes to continue hunting
in unit 49, they may hunt Oct. 29–Nov.
6, Nov. 12–18 or Nov. 23–27. They may
also hunt in units 57 or 58 from Oct.
15–19, Oct. 29–Nov. 6, Nov. 12–18 or
Nov. 23–27, or on private land only during the late season, Oct. 1–Jan. 31, 2023.
Why Oct. 1? The original archery season
(Sept. 2–30) must be over before the
youth can begin hunting the late rifle
season.
■ During the extended season, the youth
may use any method of take allowed
during rifle season. See page 14.

HYBRID DRAW
DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN

To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply.

HOW IT WORKS

NOTE: There are no qualifying hybrid draw hunts for bear in 2022.

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS

Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the hybrid draw must meet the
following criteria and choose from the
hunt codes listed at right as their first
choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of
five preference points for the species
they wish to hunt to participate in the
hybrid drawing.

licenses may be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the hybrid draw.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the hybrid draw will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the hybrid draw lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one

and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for
the available add-on OTC bear license hunts. Note
that for some unit groupings, not every unit is
valid for adding on an OTC bear license. Check
the unit information in the tables carefully! Also
see page 66 of the “Bear” section.
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out
the full list of every available bear hunt broken out by
unit and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

2022 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: DEER

GET ANY NUMBER

LIST C

IN ADDITION TO ANY
LIST A OR B LICENSES

▶ Check the hunt tables for List A licenses.

HOW TO GET THEM:
▶ LIST A &amp; B: You may purchase ONE List A and ONE List B license per year, OR TWO List B licenses per year.
These licenses are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ LIST C: You may purchase as many List C licenses per year that you’d like, in addition to any other licenses you hold.
These are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ EXAMPLE: If you get a List B license in the primary draw, you can get either a List A or List B license in the secondary draw, and
multiple List C licenses as leftover or over-the-counter licenses.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter
D-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as
a first choice on your primary draw
application to use another year. You
can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may only submit
one application per species, per draw,
per year. Note that the secondary
draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for
moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have
a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.59 Habitat Stamp and
qualifying license are nonrefundable.
See page 9.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. Whitetails and mule deer.
See pages 11 and 33.
▶ BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long. There are no antler-point restrictions for
deer.
▶ DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers.
Antlerless can also mean a young male with antlers
less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for
which an average of a least six preference points are
needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a
license will be drawn. Calculated on a 3-year period
ending with the 2009 drawing.

WHITETAIL ONLY

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES: LATE RIFLE

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed deer
in the area, and hunters can expect to see more
mule deer than white-tailed deer when hunting
in these GMUs.

WHERE ARE THE WHITETAILS FOUND IN THIS
SEASON?

SEASON DATES: Dec. 1–31

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be most
commonly found along lower-elevation river
bottoms.

LICENSES: Either Sex
LIST: B

Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding white-tailed
deer. Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission is
required prior to hunting.

LICENSE AGENTS ONLY: D-E-048-U6-R
VALID UNITS:
48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140, 481, 511, 561,
581, 591, 691, 851 except Bosque del Oso SWA, 861

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE CAN I USE?

These licenses are sold only at CPW offices and state
parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more
information about whitetail identification when a license
is purchased. These are unlimited in number and go
on sale starting at 9 a.m. on AUG 2.

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange or
pink requirements (see page 15), regardless of
the type of weapon used.

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

Some public properties prohibit the use of
rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property
regulations to determine what types of weapons are legal before going afield.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

Whitetails are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?
Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip
▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males

Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetail-only
license.

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of
this brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area. See the “Hunting Laws” section on
page 15 for more details.

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

MOST LAND IS PRIVATE IN UNITS EAST OF I-25.
Landowner permission is advisable before
applying for hunts in these units.
Such units include: 107, 114, 115 and 121.

NEED TO KNOW

PREFERENCE POINTS

▶ NEW GMUs 14 &amp; 214 ARE NOW LIMITED LICENSES ONLY FOR ALL APPLICABLE
SEASONS FOR ANTLERLESS ELK: The over-the-counter license option for GMUs 14
and 214 have been removed for archery cow seasons.
▶ NEW ARCHERY ELK LICENSES FOR GMUs 80 &amp; 81 ARE NOW LIMITED LICENSES ONLY:
The over-the-counter license option for GMUs 80 and 81 has been removed for
all archery seasons. See page 42 for the new limited license hunt code.
▶ NEW EXTENDED SEASON DATES FOR THE GMU 6 PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY COW HUNT:
Hunt code E-F-006-P5-R for GMU grouping 6, 16, 17, 161 and 171 now has
season dates of Aug. 15 through Jan. 31. See page 45.
NEW
▶
HUNT CODES E-F-073-P5-R, E-F-077-P5-R &amp; E-M-741-04-R HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code
on your application. You can gain a preference point as a first choice on
your primary draw application to use another year. You can use your
second through fourth choices on the same application to apply for a
license. You may only submit one application per species, per draw, per
year. Note that the secondary draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.59 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. See page 9.

▶ NEW SAN LUIS VALLEY REFUGE ELK PERMITS &amp; BACA NATIONAL WILDLIFE
REFUGE INFORMATION CLARIFIED: See updated information to the right.

OTHER HUNTS

▶ NEW SEVERAL HUNT CODES STILL NEED COMMISSION APPROVAL: Note that

SAN LUIS VALLEY REFUGE ELK PERMITS

several hunt codes in the following tables have dates that will be subject to
approval at the March Commission meeting. These hunt codes are marked
with a red asterisk. Check the updated version of the brochure online for the
finalized dates: cpw.state.co.us/bg/brochure

▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER
ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available in unlimited numbers as “add-on” licenses only: You can add on one of these
bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for the same method of
take and at least one unit overlaps. Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk (pages 42–44),
and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for the available add-on OTC
bear license hunts. Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is valid
for adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the tables
carefully! Also see page 66 of the "Bear" section. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts
and check out the full list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and
hunt code.

▶ ARCHERY. Only legal hand-held bows are allowed in archery season. See page 14.
▶ MUZZLELOADING. Muzzleloading elk licenses are limited, available through the
draw. Only legal muzzleloading rifles and smoothbore muskets are allowed in
muzzleloading season. See page 14.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for which an average of a least six
preference points are needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license. This is
only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn. Calculated on a
3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

DEFINITIONS

▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 11.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5 inches long.

See "Antler Point Restrictions" on page 36 and online at: cpw.state.co.us/
huntingresources#InTheField
▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers. "Antlerless" can also mean
a young male with antlers less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal bull or cow.

NEW The USFWS allows a maximum of 5 elk hunters to access and
hunt on the Alamosa (GMU 83) and Monte Vista (GMU 80) National
Wildlife Refuges at any one time. The application and draw process creates a hunter list for each season, identifying the first 5 hunters and the
position of the others on the list. As elk are harvested, hunters from the
list are given permits to hunt.
To be eligible for an access permit and before they submit their application, hunters must hold an elk license that is valid for the season
and refuge for which they wish to apply. The following seasons are
open to permitted hunting on each of these refuges: archery; muzzleloader; first rifle; third rifle; fourth rifle.
To be entered into the drawing, starting the day after leftover licenses
go on sale, eligible hunters must email montevista.wildlife@state.
co.us. Hunters will receive an automatic email response with a link to
the Refuge Access Permit Application Form. Hunters will then need to
provide certain information to apply: name, phone number and email
address; the hunt code for the license with which they wish to hunt; and
their CID number.
Hunters will need to complete the application form and select the
correct refuge for which their license is valid in order to be entered.
Applications will be accepted for 5 days, starting the day after leftover license day. Permits for the refuges will be issued via email after a random
drawing held under the direct supervision of the Area Wildlife Manager
and no later than August 25 annually.

BACA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

The Baca National Wildlife Refuge (GMU 82) is open to hunters who
have purchased a valid, regular season, public land elk license for GMU
82. Contact the Monte Vista office for refuge-specific rules and information: montevista.wildlife@state.co.us

SAN LUIS VALLEY GAME DAMAGE ELK HUNT

A private-land-only elk damage hunt may be offered in units 79 (S of
Colo. 112), 82, 682 and 791. Contact the CPW office in Monte Vista, 719587-6900, for details. These licenses are List B.

Head or skull plate, with both antlers naturally
attached, must accompany the carcass of bulls
in camp or in transit, even when the scrotum
or testicles are used as evidence of sex.

HUNT CODE LIST

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY. LEAVE NO TRACE!

The LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES are the best way to minimize your impact while hunting:
▶ PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road closures,
leave gates as found.
▶ TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made. Use existing sites whenever possible.
▶ DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out. All trash including food scraps and toilet paper.
▶ LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs for target practice.
Clean all gear between trips.
▶ MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t put trash or food in the fire pit.
▶ RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals; store your camp food and trash securely.
▶ BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous
and welcoming to others you see.
The LNT Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws, and encourages
all hunters to put Leave No Trace skills and ethics into action on every hunt. This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership
with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information, visit: LNT.org

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game
meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health
department or CPW office for information on wildlife
diseases where they plan to hunt. Public health officials
recommend the following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found
dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW
office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol
wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use.
Use hot soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent
chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices
from adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

OCT. 1–14

Check the hunt code tables for separate cow and bull/either-sex moose
hunting opportunities.

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW GMU GROUPING 50, 51, 59, 501, 511 &amp; 581 HAS BEEN
DIVIDED INTO TWO GMU GROUPINGS FOR ARCHERY,
MUZZLELOADER &amp; RIFLE SEASONS: See the moose hunt code

tables on the following pages to see the new hunt code for
new GMU grouping 51, 59, 511 and 581. GMU grouping 50
and 501 still has the same hunt codes as in previous years.

LIST A, B &amp; C: GET MORE THAN ONE MOOSE LICENSE
All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables (see
table example below). The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same
species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license,
or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See the chart below for your options of getting more than one moose license!

▶ NEW NEW BULL MOOSE HUNTS FOR GMUs 4 &amp; 5: See the new

GMU grouping 4, 5 and 14 on page 61 for the new seasonchoice bull hunts.

▶ NEW NEW COW MOOSE HUNTS FOR GMU 55: See page 60 for the
new cow hunts for archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons.

▶ NEW NEW NONRESIDENT COW MOOSE HUNTS FOR GMU
GROUPING 12, 23 &amp; 24: See page 60 for the new nonresident
cow hunts for archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons.

▶ UNITS 1, 20, 38, 44, 45, 53, 54, 55, 63, 65, 68, 74, 75, 79, 201,
551 &amp; 681 have low-density moose populations, and currently there is very little harvest history for these hunts.
Some moose habitat occurs on private land, so be sure to
get landowner permission before hunting.

Sample archery moose table, page 59

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR.
Additional licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over-the-counter or special
licenses issued by CPW.

LIST A

▶ THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered moose is one. All

licenses available by draw. If you’ve harvested a bull, you
may not apply for an antlered or either-sex license.

DON’T FORGET!
You can exchange your moose license for a different
method of take within the same unit. Take your tag to a
CPW location to exchange it to hunt in a different season.
The exchange fee still applies: NEW $5 flat fee (formerly
50 percent of the cost of the license, not to exceed $25)

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must complete and
return a mandatory report provided by CPW within 30
days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does
not complete and return it, including those who were
unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a
future moose license or point.

2. ALL MOOSE MUST BE PRESENTED IN PERSON FOR INSPECTION
within five working days of harvest. Hunters must submit
the head and lower jaw of antlered moose with antlers
attached, and either the head and lower jaw OR an incisor
of antlerless moose to a CPW office during normal business hours. A mandatory report will be completed during
inspection.

3. TOOTH EXTRACTION IS MANDATORY. An incisor will be

removed from the lower jaw and retained to determine age.
Heads must be unfrozen for inspection.

4. VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING. During inspection, hunters may
58

choose to have their moose tested for chronic wasting disease. CWD testing fees are waived for all moose in 2022.

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE; PREFERENCE POINT FEE; WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
▶ To apply for a preference point only, enter M-P999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code on your
application. You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second choice
on the same application to apply for a license.
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat have a preference and weighted
preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your first choice hunt, you’ll
be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth
and resident lifetime license holders. Residents who
are in the military on active duty outside Colorado
can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out your draw
application(s), and therefore will not be charged
the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or
weighted point for 2022. This includes if you

apply for a preference point hunt code as your
first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on
file will be charged after the draw. The application fee, $10.59 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be
charged, you will get an email notification. If
you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 17),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2022.
For more, see “Preference Points” on page 9.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE WEIGHTED
PREFERENCE POINTS:
1. There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability
of drawing and applies to both male and female
licenses.

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different,
random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. For more details, go to: cpw.state.co.us/

HUNTS FOR UNITS 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 33, 214 &amp; 441: See page 67.
▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THECOUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are
available in unlimited numbers as “add-on” licenses
only: You can add on one of these bear licenses if you
have a deer or elk license for the same method of take
and at least one unit overlaps. Check the archery and
muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk (pages
42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for the
available add-on OTC bear license hunts.
Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is valid for
adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the
tables carefully! Also see page 66 of this section. Go to cpw.state.
co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list of every available bear
hunt broken out by unit and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

BEAR-SPECIFIC HUNTING LAWS
▶ INSIDE DENS: Hunting, harvesting or harassing bears inside their
dens is prohibited.

▶ CUBS: Black bears accompanied by one or more cubs cannot be

killed. Cubs (bears younger than one year old) cannot be killed.
▶ HIDES: Having a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears without
a valid hunting license or unless authorized by CPW is illegal. It is
also illegal to sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall
bladders or edible portions of bears.
▶ CARCASS TAGS: See page 16 for detailed instructions on when to
detach your tag and how to transport your harvest.
▶ See pages 14–16 for important additional hunting laws.

PREFERENCE POINTS

62

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code
on your primary draw application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your primary
draw application to use another year. You can use your second through
fourth choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may
only submit one application per species, per draw, per year. Note that
the secondary draw does not gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.59 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. See “Preference Points” on page 9.

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS &amp; SEALS

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!

Hunters must personally present their
bear to any CPW office (see inside front
cover) during normal business hours,
or by appointment with a CPW officer,
for a free inspection, check report and
sealing within five working days after
harvest.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection.
Seals must be attached to the hide until
tanned. Meat needs to be prepared for
human consumption.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If
the head and hide are frozen, CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that

There are multiple ways to get a license and hunt bear in Colorado. For example:
Hunter A: Hunter A only likes to hunt bear, so hunter A would need to:
1. Apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license from the hunt
code tables on pages 63–65. And/or:
2. Buy an over-the-counter rifle bear license when OTC licenses go on sale Aug. 2
at 9 a.m. (hunt code tables on page 67).
Hunter B: Hunter B is planning to draw a deer or elk license, so hunter B has two options:
1. Also apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license.
2. Wait to see if they are awarded an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license,
and then add on an over-the-counter bear license of the same method of
take that matches at least one of the same units when OTC licenses go on sale.
Hunter C: Hunter C does not participate in the draw, but purchases an over-the-counter
archery elk license every year. Hunter C will wait until over-the-counter licenses
go on sale, purchase an OTC archery elk license, and then add on an OTC archery
bear license that matches at least one of the same units. There are no OTC archery
deer licenses or OTC muzzleloader licenses for any species available.

a tooth can be removed. Hunters can
help by making sure the jaw is propped
open with a stick before rigor mortis
sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until hide and skull are inspected
and sealed. Having a bear hide without
a seal after the five-day period is illegal,
and the hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a
foreign country, you must first obtain
CITES documents. Contact the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 303-3427430. Do not call the U.S Fish and
Wildlife Service about inspections or
seals for bears.

ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
Hunting bear during archery and muzzleloader deer and elk seasons:
▶ WHEN YOU SEE THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL: You can purchase an addon over-the-counter archery or muzzleloader bear license ONLY
if you have a deer or elk license for the same method of take:
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during
archery season before you can purchase an over-the-counter
archery bear license.
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during muzzleloader
season before you can purchase an over-the-counter muzzleloader bear
license.
■ At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match
one unit listed on your bear license.

▶ CHECK THE DEER &amp; ELK HUNT CODE TABLES: Look for the bear paw symbol in the
archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk
(pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) to find
hunts with add-on archery and muzzleloader bear licenses available.
▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear any time during the dates specified in
the archery and muzzleloader tables below, with the correct method of take.
▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any of the unit(s) listed in the
table for which your bear license is valid. If your deer or elk license is for
private land only, you must use your bear license on private land only.
OVER-THE-COUNTER RIFLE LICENSES: OTC rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on licenses,
meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one of these bear
licenses. See the next page for more information on over-the-counter rifle licenses.

�HUNT PLAN

PLANNING YOUR HUNT

Call 303-297-1192 or 303-291-PLAN (7526) for more help getting started!

This brochure will help you decide which big-game species you'd like to hunt, when and where you'd like to hunt, what method of take
you'd like to use and the requirements for getting your hunting license. It only takes a few steps to plan your hunt!

DO YOU HAVE YOUR HUNTER EDUCATION?
1 You'll
need to have your hunter education certification and card

number before applying for the draw(s) or purchasing a hunting
license if you were born after Jan. 1, 1949. Remember that you must
carry proof of hunter education in the field when you hunt!
See pages 5–6 for additional license requirements and how to obtain
an apprentice certificate.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HUNT WITH?
5 Colorado
has seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle/
associated methods hunting. Legal requirements for the
various methods and transporting them in the field are
described in this brochure.

archery
muzzleloader

WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
Colorado offers 10 big-game species. This brochure has
hunting rules and options for deer (mule and
whitetail), elk, pronghorn, moose and bear.
Pick the species and sex you're interested in hunting:
Page 11 has information that helps identify
different big-game animals.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
3 Colorado
is divided into hunting areas called game

management units (i.e. GMUs). It's important that
every hunter knows the boundaries of their hunting
area, including private land boundaries. Check out
the state map and unit descriptions in the back of
this brochure or online: cpw.state.co.us/maps

DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
4 InWHEN
general for deer, elk and bear hunting, archery season starts in

early Sept. and lasts almost a month. Muzzleloader season starts in
the middle of archery season, and four rifle seasons follow that.
The first rifle season is limited to elk and bear hunting only. The
second, third and fourth rifle seasons are for elk, bear and deer
hunters, who will be in the field at the same time.

TYPES OF LICENSES YOU CAN GET
6 Each
year, a set (limited) number of licenses is allotted to each GMU.
You can apply for the big game draw(s) to get one of these limited
licenses, or after the draws are over, you can purchase a remaining
limited license (leftover limited license) when they go on sale.
Some licenses for elk, pronghorn and bear are also available without
needing to enter the draw(s) and are not restricted in quantity (unlimited). These can be purchased over the counter after they go on
sale online, by phone and in person at sales agents around the state.

READ THIS BROCHURE!
7 Now
that you have a plan, be sure to read through this brochure

to help get your license and be prepared out in the field.
The first 19 pages have all of your basic hunting
information: new changes, license information, options and
sales dates, general information, hunting laws, application
information and deadlines, and how to read the hunt code tables.
Pages 20–67 break out each of the five big-game species
in this brochure into their own sections. Each section has
species-specific regulation changes, season dates, how to get
more than one license and hunt code tables.
The last few pages, 68–73, provide a GMU map and detailed
descriptions of the GMU boundaries and specific land restrictions.

�HUNT TERMS

HUNTING LICENSE TERMS &amp; DEFINITIONS
LICENSE TYPES

◆ Qualifying licenses: A current-year qualifying license is required in order
to apply for any of the big-game draws. See page 4 for more.

◆ Limited licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for

specific units and dates for each species, and are issued through an application and draw process.

LIMITED LICENSES INCLUDE:

Public land licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are valid
on all CPW-owned or leased public lands, private lands and most federal lands in the specific units listed on your license/in this brochure.
Private-land-only licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are
only valid on private lands in the specific GMUs listed on your license/
in this brochure. If your license hunt code has a "P" in the second-tolast part, it's valid on private land ONLY. For example: E-F-007-P5-R.
You MUST get landowner permission before applying for these licenses.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary draw.
They become the licenses eligible for the secondary draw, and any remaining licenses after the secondary draw become available as over-thecounter leftover limited licenses (see "leftover limited licenses" below).
Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses: Licenses that are available on certain
ranch properties for Colorado residents only. See: cpw.state.co.us/rfw
Season choice licenses: Licenses that let you hunt in any or all of the seasons
(archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle) in specified units with the correct
method of take until your license is filled. These licenses are available
for deer and bull or either-sex moose only. See pages 32 and 61.

◆ Over-the-counter (OTC) licenses: Licenses (unlimited, unlimited add-on

bear and leftover limited) that are available without having to go through
the draw(s). They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do
not use preference points and may be purchased any time before and
during a season. They're available at over 650 sales agents around the
state, including CPW offices and state parks, online, or by phone.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES INCLUDE:

Unlimited licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in quantity by CPW. You
may purchase these licenses when over-the-counter licenses go on sale.
"Unlimited" does not mean you can purchase an unlimited number of
licenses: See the "List A, B &amp; C" definition at top right.
Add-on bear licenses: If you have an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk
license, you can purchase an OTC bear license for the same
method of take. At least one hunting unit must overlap on both
licenses. See the deer and elk hunt tables for available hunts (look
for the bear paw symbol!), pages 20 and 35, and "Bear," page 66.
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary or secondary draws go on the Leftover List. Reissued licenses (see "reissues,"
bottom right and page 8) also go onto the list. These are available for
purchase in person, online or at sales agents starting on leftover day.

◆ Landowner preference program (LPP) vouchers: The LPP encour-

ages private landowners to provide habitat for the benefit of wildlife
populations and to relieve hunting pressure on public lands. Deer, elk
and pronghorn vouchers are allocated to landowners who meet certain
qualifications. Applications are drawn during the primary draw, and successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The voucher is transferred directly to a hunter, who then purchases a
license to hunt. See page 7 and cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner.

BIG GAME DRAWS
Primary draw: The first, main big-game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

Secondary draw: This draw replaces the big-game leftover draw from past

years and includes deer, elk, pronghorn and bear. Applicants can apply
for the secondary draw whether or not they applied for the primary
draw. Preference points are not used or awarded in this draw.

LIST
LIST A, BB &amp;&amp;CC

List A, B &amp; C: All big-game hunting

licenses are either List A, B or
C, as indicated in the hunt code
tables (see image at right ▶) or
next to most of the OTC maps.
The List types exist so that you
know if you can get more than
one license for the same species:
Sample rifle deer table, page 27
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A
license and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as
well as one List A license and one List B license, or two List B licenses =
A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.

PREFERENCE
POINTS
PREFERENCE POINTS

Preference points: Preference points help hunters to be successful in future

primary draws because points add up per species until an applicant
draws a first-choice license. One preference point is awarded to each
applicant who qualifies for and DOES NOT draw their first-choice limited
license for deer, elk, pronghorn or bear in the primary draw, or who
applies using a specific preference-point hunt code that gets them a
preference point only as their first choice.
Weighted preference points: For moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
and mountain goat, applicants with at least three preference points will
be awarded a weighted preference point in subsequent draws and will be
given weighted preference during the license draw. See page 9 and
cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for more details.

OTHER
OTHERDEFINITIONS
DEFINITIONS

Carcass tag: The bottom portion of a hunting license, to be signed, removed
and kept with the carcass ONLY after harvesting the animal. See page 16.
CWD: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that
attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose, and has been found in several
regions in the state. In 2021, CPW will require mandatory submission of
CWD test samples for deer and elk from certain GMUs/hunt codes. See
pages 13, 20 and 35.
Float groups: When the quota — or number of licenses available — is assigned
to a group of hunt codes, rather than just one, that is considered a float
group. If you draw or purchase a hunt code in a float group, you may
exchange that hunt code for another hunt in that group for a fee as long as
your season hasn't started.
GMU: Huntable areas are broken down into units called "game management
units." These units help you decide where you'd like to hunt. See the GMU
map on the inside back cover.
Method of take: Colorado has hunting seasons based on archery, muzzleloader
and rifle/associated methods. See table on page 14 for details on which
method you can use to hunt each of the big-game species in this brochure.
Refunds: You can get a refund OR have your preference points restored for a
big-game license that you draw. You must return the license to CPW at
least 30 days before the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Reissues: Most limited licenses that have been returned will be made available
to other hunters through a reissue process. Returned limited licenses that

quota remaining (except for float groups and some unlimited licenses).
In most cases, you can exchange from an OTC license to a limited license
of the same species and vice versa. Note that there are no refunds or

NONRESIDENT LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average
number of preference points a Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license during a 3-year period that ended
with the 2009 drawing. (Units with low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents
after resident licenses are drawn.)
1. For elk and deer hunt codes that required six or more
points for a Colorado resident to draw, up to 20 percent
may go to nonresidents. These hunts are designated in
unit tables by a + under the SEX column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for a
Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up to
35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain
after all Colorado resident first choices have been drawn
for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only
and Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and
nonresidents, all nonresidents in the group will count
against the nonresident allocation; if all nonresident
allocation is gone, the group will not draw.

before the season starts on the original license. Once a season starts, an
exchange is no longer available.
4. Licenses may only be exchanged for a hunt code for the same species as the
current license.
5. Exchanges cannot be completed until leftover limited licenses and OTC
licenses go on sale, Aug. 3 at 9 a.m.

�PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED PER SPECIES APPLIED FOR to
hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice hunt code in the primary draw for big-game
species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point as
your first-choice hunt code (see below).

Preference points are only used during the primary draw, they
do NOT apply for the secondary draw.

2. YOUTH AGES 12–17 can apply for a point. Youth age 11 can also apply for a point provided they turn 12 in 2021.
3. PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE: You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your application to use another year; specific
preference-point hunt codes are listed at the beginning of each
species section in this brochure. You can also choose other hunt
codes as your second, third or fourth choices. Do not submit a
separate application for preference points, or both applications
will be disqualified.
4. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated preference points for that species become void and return to zero.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an
applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a license
for that same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for that species become void.
6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the
license quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded, and except
for the hybrid draw. See page 19 for hybrid draw information and
hunt codes.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the fewest points. See "Apply as a Group for Hunts" at cpw.state.co.us/
applyforgrouphunts.
8. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-counter, leftover limited
licenses and the secondary draw don’t use or generate points.
9. PREFERENCE POINT FEE: The preference point fee no longer applies
to deer, elk, pronghorn or bear. See right for details on the preference point fee.
10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW
account: Go to cpw.state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."

PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN
HUNTERS. Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt

11.

codes, sex, unit(s), season(s) or method of take.

12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim
Colorado as their home of residence and are deployed outside the
U.S. are eligible, when they return home, to apply for preference
points for any primary draws they missed while deployed. Applications will be available at the end of July.

PREFERENCE POINT FEE
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat have a preference and weighted preference point fee. If you apply for a preference
point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing your
first choice hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident
preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth and resident lifetime
license holders. Residents who are in the military on active duty outside
Colorado can request a preference point fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the preference point fee while
filling out your draw application(s), and therefore will not be charged the
fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point for 2021. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on file will be charged after
the draw. The application fee, $10.40 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be charged, we will email you.
If you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 11), you will forfeit your
preference point for 2021.

WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
1. There are three species of big-game animals that use the weighted
preference point system to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to
both male and female licenses.
3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat. If you have three preference points and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then dividing that
new application number by the number of weighted points you have,
plus one. Individuals with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. Go to cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for more details.

GET THE LEAD OUT
SEE THE CDPHE PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT:

cdphe.colorado.gov/lead-wild-game

From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as far
into the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with your
commercial processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.

See the draw application and preference point flowchart online:

cpw.state.co.us/qualifyinglicenses

4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

�HUNT CODES

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES

HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION:

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt
in the limited license draw(s) each year. Hunt codes are an 8-character code
used to designate species, sex, GMU, season and method of take:

2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for which an average of at
least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that license. This
is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
These calculations are based on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

2021 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; GENERAL INFORMATION

Sample rifle deer table, page 27

1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes
within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you'll look next to locate the game management unit (GMU) you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully.
Some licenses are valid in one unit only, while others are valid in multiple
units. This column also indicates which hunts offer add-on bear licenses
in the over-the-counter deer and elk archery and muzzleloader tables:
Look for the bear paw symbol!
3. THE VALID GMUs COLUMN will display information for each hunt and
whether it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit
before you hunt.
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the
VALID GMUs column will list all the game management units (GMUs)
where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the
chart will read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt.
4. THE DATES COLUMN lists the applicable season/hunt dates when the license
is valid. Each unit may have multiple hunt dates, so please read carefully.
5. THE SEX COLUMN indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that
specific hunt code. Read the information carefully because the sex of an
animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE COLUMN displays the code you will use to apply for
the license you want. There are many possible hunt codes associated with
each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted, so
please read carefully. See section at left on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST COLUMN displays what type of license you are buying. There are
opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as
the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C.
For details, see the "List A, B &amp; C: Get More Than One License" charts under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages.
When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application.
NOTE: You may submit one application for each species, per draw, per year.
For each application, you may fill in up to 4 hunt code choices.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Field dress the animal, then call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office
nearest to you listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most
responsible plan of action.

New "Colorado's Big-Game Species" video! See how to identify our 10 big-game species: vimeo.com/478718115
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

2021 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour
after sunset, unless specifically restricted. Go to cpw.state.co.us/hunting
resources for a link to current sunrise/sunset tables and more information.

GUIDES &amp; OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They
also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of
Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202; 303-8947778; or dpo.colorado.gov/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide invaluable
resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the
above office or the Colorado Outfitters Association online: coloradooutfitters.org

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
▶ HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

Hunters must wear at least 500 square inches of solid fluorescent orange or
pink material and a fluorescent orange or pink hat, visible from all angles,
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, moose or bear with any firearm. Note
that camouflage does not qualify. See page 15 for more details.

▶ CARCASS TAGS

Be sure to sign and detach your carcass tag from your hunting license
directly AFTER you harvest your animal, and make sure you attach it to your
take properly. See page 16 for all the information you need on carcass tags.

▶ OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHVs)

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on
public lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route
must have a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31. OHV permits
(applicable for nonresidents and street-legal/plated vehicles) are available online
at cpw.state.co.us/bg/ohvpermit, at CPW locations and sales agents.
Questions, call 303-297-1192. Renewal registrations are available online and
at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person or
by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

▶ MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for
hunters who harvest a moose or bear, as these species require
mandatory inspections. See pages 13, 58 (moose) and 63 (bear).
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to give a
location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint where
you harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude and
latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the
check report form during harvest inspections.

▶ HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30
days before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia
within a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection
before transportation. Call the brand inspector: 303-869-9160

▶ EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

�GENERAL

HOW TO HELP OUT CPW
HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days. Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or email, asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal
and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding (even if you didn’t hunt or harvest) is an important part of setting future seasons and license numbers. If contacted, you
can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free
phone number 1-855-924-4278. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct.
through mid-Feb. See the CPW website for details: cpw.state.co.us

HERD MANAGEMENT: YOUR INPUT IS WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a
herd management plan review process during which CPW updates management objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population
size and the ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence
decisions about how many licenses of each type can be made available in
any given year.
Every plan update allows for public comment and review. CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about how
big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these important
opportunities to have your voice heard.
Information about current plans and opportunities to inform plan
updates are available on our webpage. You can also receive notices by
signing up for CPW's Insider email list from our webpage. Find herd
management plan info: cpw.state.co.us/hmp

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

The TIPs program awards licenses and preference points to eligible
persons that report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big

game or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal take,
possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the charging officer of your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/
tips for the criteria to qualify for a preference point or license, or contact
CPW for details at 303-297-1192.

MANDATORY INSPECTIONS FOR MOOSE &amp; BEAR
MOOSE: Hunters must personally present their moose to a CPW office
(listed on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working
days of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a
mandatory report and lower incisor extraction. Heads must be unfrozen.
Hunters must submit the head and lower jaw of antlered moose with antlers
attached, or the head and lower jaw NEW OR an incisor of antlerless moose.
Additionally, all moose license holders must complete and return a
mandatory report provided by CPW within 30 days after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does not complete and return it, including those
who were unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point. See "Mandatory Moose Inspections," page 58.
BEAR: Hunters must personally present their bear to any CPW office (listed
on inside front cover) during normal business hours within 5 working days
of harvest for a mandatory inspection. The inspection will include a mandatory report, sealing and premolar tooth extraction. Heads and hides must
be unfrozen. See "Mandatory Bear Inspections &amp; Seals," page 63, for more.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
CPW property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, 303-869-9031; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

WHAT IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

MANDATORY TESTING 2021

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks the
brains of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated, display
abnormal behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show no signs
of illness.
The map in the back of this brochure highlights game management units in
red and yellow where CWD has been detected (inside back cover). CWD has
been found in several regions in Colorado, as well as other states and provinces. For deer, infection rates tend to be highest in prime-aged mature bucks.

In 2021, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all elk and deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific
hunt codes to better evaluate the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be
no charge for mandatory testing. Find the hunt codes selected for mandatory
testing of deer on pages 22–32 and elk on pages 41–52 .

If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer, elk or moose has CWD, they can submit their animal
and pay a testing fee of $25. Voluntary submissions are accepted annually
statewide.
In 2021, testing fees for voluntary submissions will be waived for all deer
ONLY (not elk) harvested within the same GMUs selected for mandatory testing
(pages 22–32). During inspection, hunters may choose to have their moose
tested for chronic wasting disease. Testing cost for moose is $25.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
Disease in humans resulting from CWD exposure has not been reported to date. However,
public health officials cannot determine there
is no risk from eating meat from infected
animals. Consequently, officials recommend
that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected animals. Please see
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
website (cdhpe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/prion-diseases) for the most current recommendations on carcass
testing and other preventive measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public
health officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume
any deer, elk or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be
sick. When field-dressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw to cut through the brain or spinal
cord (backbone). Minimize contact with brain or spinal cord
tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always wash hands and
utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing game meat.

e. Bows can propel only a single arrow at a time. No mechanisms for automatically loading arrows allowed.
f. Scopes and electronic or battery-powered devices cannot be incorporated
into or attached to bow or arrow, with the exception of lighted nocks on
arrows. Recording devices such as cameras or video recorders attached to
bows may be used as long as they do not cast light toward the target or aid
in range finding, sighting or shooting the bow.
g. Hydraulic or pneumatic technology cannot be used to derive or store
		 energy to propel arrows. Explosive arrows are prohibited.

�HUNTING LAWS

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
Find complete regulations online: cpw.state.co.us/regulations

THE TOP 10 MOST COMMON HUNTING VIOLATIONS IN COLORADO:
1. TRESPASSING. Going onto private lands without getting permission first
while hunting, fishing or performing any related activity is illegal. Private
lands do not need to be posted or fenced, so it can be difficult to see
boundaries. Violators may be suspended for up to 5 years for trespassing. This includes State Land Board properties not leased and signed by
CPW, unless permission is given by the lessee.
You must have permission from the landowner to enter private land to
retrieve a harvested animal. First, you should try to contact the landowner
on your own. If that effort fails, call the local CPW office (inside front cover).
2. Failing to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound or may have
wounded. Remember that it's against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from the
landowner or person in charge.
3. Failing to reasonably dress, care for and prepare edible wildlife meat for human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and backstraps are
edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible meat.
4. Hunting without a proper license. Anyone who hunts wildlife must have in their
possession the appropriate and valid Colorado resident or nonresident license that includes their Customer Identification (CID) number, and must
only harvest wildlife of the species and type indicated on the license.
5. Mistakenly killing wildlife. You must report big-game animals unintentionally killed, not due to carelessness or negligence, to a CPW office (inside
front cover) (or the local Sheriff 's office after CPW regular hours) before
continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting CPW, field
dress the animal. CPW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired,
species and number of animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big
game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.
6. Not showing evidence of sex. Be sure to leave evidence of sex naturally attached
to the carcass. Evidence includes the head, the vulva or the scrotum.
See "Evidence of Sex" on page 16 for more details.
7. Carrying loaded firearms while in or on any motor vehicle. Firearms must be unloaded in the chamber. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded if the
percussion cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is removed
from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition
muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle; the chamber must be unloaded
or the battery must be disconnected and removed from its compartment.
Most accidents involving firearms occur in or near vehicles.
8. Carrying loaded firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear seasons. Firearms (except handguns) must be unloaded in the
chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and bows must be
fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with open ends or
sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or their agents who
carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on property they
own or lease.
9. Improperly voiding and/or attaching a carcass tag. You must sign and detach the
carcass tag from your hunting license immediately following taking your
animal. It is illegal to sign or tear the carcass tag before harvest. The tag
must also be attached to the animal properly. See "Carcass Tags," page 16.
10. Hunting with rifles, handguns or shotguns firing a single slug, or archery equipment
within an area 50 feet on each side of the center line of any state highway or municipal or county road, as designated by the county. Before firing a shot, you must
be at least 50 feet off a designated state or county road, and just off U.S.
Forest Service or BLM roads. You also cannot shoot across a road.
FELONY OFFENSES:
If convicted of a felony violation, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
▶ To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
▶ To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
▶ To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK
HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK. The law requires hunters to wear at
least 500 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink material on an outer garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or
moose during all rifle seasons, except for the limited Sept. rifle bear season. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who
hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, or licensed for private land hunting through the Ranching
for Wildlife program do not have to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but should
consider wearing it to increase safety while in the field.
Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear orange or pink when
hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground
blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange or pink that is visible from
all directions on the outside of the blind.
CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE OR PINK DOES NOT QUALIFY! Mesh garments are legal but not
recommended. CPW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange
or fluorescent pink clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange
or pink is for hunter safety, as big-game animals don’t see these colors like we do.
Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.
IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
▶ Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life
or property.
▶ Hunt outside of legal hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half

hour after sunset).

▶ Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey
to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects;
making movements; harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers
to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire.
Violators face prosecution and may have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
▶ Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
▶ Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and
cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased,
not unstrung.
▶ Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or
aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
▶ Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same day or day
after a flight was made to find wildlife.
▶ For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law or regulation.
▶ Use computer-assisted remote technology (any device, equipment or software used
to remotely control a weapon, including the Internet) to hunt or fish. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting/ fishing.
▶ Use unmanned or remote-control drones to look for, scout or detect wildlife.
▶ Use live-action game cameras to locate, surveil, or aid/assist in locating/surveiling
game wildlife in order to take/try to take wildlife during the same or following day.
"Live-action game camera" is any device capable of recording and transmitting
photographic/video data wirelessly to a remote device (such as a computer or smart
phone). This doesn't include game cameras that record photographic/video data
and store such data for later use, as long as the device cannot transmit data wirelessly.
▶ Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
▶ Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
▶ Fail to extinguish a campfire completely.
▶ Party hunt (i.e. harvest someone else’s game or let someone harvest yours).
▶ Use dogs. A leashed dog may be used as an aid in locating/recovering wounded biggame animals, except for black bears, with purchase of annual tracking permit.
▶ Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the
bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for
normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like
food are illegal for bears.
▶ Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
▶ Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters.
Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be erected on CPW
land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season during which they will be used.
No nails can be driven into trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands must
be removed within 10 days after the season they are used in ends. The owner’s CID
number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable blinds or underside
of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not reserve them for personal
use: They may be used on first-come, first-served basis.

See page 62 for additional hunting laws applying specifically to bear.

�HUNTING LAWS

LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes,
including felony offenses and domestic violence-related offenses, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been convicted of a crime, check
with the appropriate Colorado and federal law enforcement authority to find
out how these laws apply to you.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by Child Support Enforcement.

BAG LIMITS
1. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally take of each species. Big game taken in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the
maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
2. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
3. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your
big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a
small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does
not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS

16

▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals
you harvest per instructions on tag. Tags
must be signed, dated and detached from
the license immediately upon harvest. See
image at right for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the
carcass (not to detached hides, horns or
antlers carried separately) immediately
prior to and during transportation in any
vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence
or other place of storage. Tags must stay
on until meat is processed and remain
with meat until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and
attached to the species lawfully taken or
killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign the tag before harvesting an animal.
▶Do not remove any parts of a license except
the carcass tag only after harvest. Doing
so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate. The upper part of the license
must be kept by whoever harvested the
animal.
▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license is valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as
the rest of the license is intact.

Hunting license

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone else
made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must
accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag
or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place
for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to
have CWD.
6. See page 36 of the "Elk" section for antler-point restrictions.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Carcass tag portion of license

Detach and sign the carcass tag only
AFTER harvesting your animal.
You must then attach the tag to the
carcass (not to the head or antlers).

2021 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS &amp; YOUTH HUNTING

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient;
donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required.
It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and recipient
are subject to bag and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a license for
exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

YOUTH HUNTING

Deer, elk, pronghorn and bear opportunities for hunters ages 12–17

BIG-GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTH

Youth AGES 12–17 who meet hunter education
requirements (see page 6) have the opportunity to
hunt big game in several ways: through the draw(s)
or over the counter for regular seasons for deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear; during the youth extended
season for female deer, elk or pronghorn; and
through youth outreach licenses.
AGE REQUIREMENTS:
▶ Youth ages 12–17 are offered reduced-cost
licenses for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear.
▶ At age 11, youth may buy or apply for a license if
they will turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youth cannot hunt with the license until
they turn 12.
▶ Youth who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
extended season hunt. Youth hunting rules still
apply, even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
▶ Youth must be 12–17 at time of purchase to buy a
youth unlimited or leftover license.
▶ In order to receive a reduced-cost license and/or
youth preference in the draw, youth must be 17
or younger at the time of application.

THE DRAW(S): YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE

▶ A minimum of 15 percent of limited licenses
for doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex
deer and antlerless elk for each GMU shall be
available for youth ages 12–17 who meet hunter
education requirements (see page 6).
These licenses are available by draw for all
seasons and methods of take, including early
and late rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn by
youth are available to the public. (The Air Force
Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife hunts are
excluded from this.)

▶ Group applications are not accepted.
▶ If youth enter more than one hunt code on their
application, ALL HUNT CODES must qualify for
youth preference. (See first bullet of this section,
bottom left.)
▶ Youth receive preference on ALL HUNT CODES available in the secondary draw.

YOUTH EXTENDED SEASON

Youth may pursue antlerless deer or elk during any
rifle season open to antlerless hunts in valid GMUs
(see page 18), as well as hunt pronghorn does
during Dec. and the season that runs until Jan. 31,
2022 in GMUs 9 and 191 (see page 19).
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
▶ Youth must have an unfilled limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license
after their original season ends. Then they may
participate in any open rifle antlerless deer or elk
hunt that begins after the last day of the season
listed on their original license. (Does not include
Ranching for Wildlife.) See pronghorn rules on
page 19.
Youth may hunt in the areas specified on the
maps (pages 18–19), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
▶ NEW Youth can now easily convert their
unfilled limited either-sex elk or either-sex
pronghorn license (where the season has
ended) to a female (antlerless) license through
the new online Youth Extended Hunt License
Conversion Request form. Find the form here:
cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting. Youth can
also take their original license to a CPW location to have it converted to an antlerless license
before hunting any extended seasons.

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth may hunt only the species that is on
their original license. "Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk (cows), as well as young males of
both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license (see
"Purchasing and Converting Licenses" to the right) — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle
hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure, except
for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 18, and there
must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.

FOLLOW THE RULES

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 18 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the
rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle
season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and deer licenses
may not be used to participate in the

FOR EXAMPLE: (see elk map at bottom left)

ELK EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during archery season and converts their unfilled
license (see options above).
■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.

HYBRID DRAW
DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN

To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply.

HOW IT WORKS

HYBRID DRAW

NOTE: There are no qualifying hybrid draw hunts for bear in 2021.

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS

Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the hybrid draw must meet the
following criteria and choose from the
hunt codes listed at right as their first
choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of
five preference points for the species
they wish to hunt to participate in the
hybrid drawing.

Hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (based on
a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), up to 20 percent of the available
licenses may be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the hybrid draw.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the hybrid draw will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the hybrid draw lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one
point.

Some archery and muzzleloader bear
licenses are available in unlimited numbers
as “add-on” licenses only: You can add on
one of these bear licenses if you have a deer
or elk license for the same method of take
and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables
for deer (pages 23–26) and elk (pages 42–44), and the
OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) for the available
add-on OTC bear license hunts. Note that for some unit
groupings, not every unit is valid for adding on an
OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the
tables carefully! Also see page 66 of the “Bear” section.
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the
full list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit
and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

▶ MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING: In

20

2021, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD
test samples (heads) from all ELK and DEER harvested for
specific hunt codes. There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information about where and how
to submit a CWD sample at cpw.state.co.us/cwd. Hunt
codes selected for mandatory deer testing are highlighted on
pages 22–32 of this section.

LIST C

IN ADDITION TO ANY
LIST A OR B LICENSES

▶ Check the hunt tables for List A licenses.

HOW TO GET THEM:
▶ LIST A &amp; B: You may purchase ONE List A and ONE List B license per year, OR TWO List B licenses per year.
These licenses are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ LIST C: You may purchase as many List C licenses per year that you’d like, in addition to any other licenses you hold.
These are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as leftover licenses and over-the-counter as available.
▶ EXAMPLE: If you get a List B license in the primary draw, you can get either a List A or List B license in the secondary draw, and
multiple List C licenses as leftover or over-the-counter licenses.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter
D-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as
a first choice on your primary draw
application to use another year. You
can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may only submit
one application per species, per draw,
per year. Note that the secondary
draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for
moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have
a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.40 Habitat Stamp and
qualifying license are nonrefundable.
See page 9.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. Whitetails and mule deer.
See pages 11 and 33.
▶ BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long. There are no antler-point restrictions for
deer.
▶ DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers.
Antlerless can also mean a young male with antlers
less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for
which an average of a least six preference points are
needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a
license will be drawn. Calculated on a 3-year period
ending with the 2009 drawing.

WHITETAIL ONLY

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES: LATE RIFLE

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed deer
in the area, and hunters can expect to see more
mule deer than white-tailed deer when hunting
in these GMUs.

WHERE ARE THE WHITETAILS FOUND IN THIS
SEASON?

SEASON DATES: Dec. 1–31
LICENSES: Either Sex
LIST: B

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be most
commonly found along lower-elevation river
bottoms.
Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding white-tailed
deer. Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission is
required prior to hunting.

LICENSE AGENTS ONLY: D-E-048-U6-R
VALID UNITS:
48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140, 481, 511, 561,
581, 591, 691, 851 except Bosque del Oso SWA, 861
These licenses are sold only at CPW offices and state
parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more
information about whitetail identification when a license
is purchased. These are unlimited in number and go on
sale starting at 9 a.m. AUG 3.

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE CAN I USE?
The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange or
pink requirements (see page 15), regardless of
the type of weapon used.

Unit numbers in red indicate chronic wasting disease (CWD)
has been detected in that unit.

Some public properties prohibit the use of
rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property
regulations to determine what types of weapons are legal before going afield.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

Whitetails are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?
Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip
▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males

Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetail-only
license.

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of
this brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area. See the “Hunting Laws” section on
page 15 for more details.

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

ATTENTION HUNTERS:

MOST LAND IS PRIVATE IN UNITS EAST OF I-25.
Landowner permission is advisable before
applying for hunts in these units.
Such units include: 107, 114, 115 and 121.

NEED TO KNOW

PREFERENCE POINTS

▶ NEW MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING: In 2021, CPW
will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples (heads) from all ELK
and DEER harvested for specific hunt codes. There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information about where and how to submit a CWD
sample at cpw.state.co.us/cwd. Hunt codes selected for mandatory elk testing
are highlighted on pages 41–52.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code
on your application. You can gain a preference point as a first choice on
your primary draw application to use another year. You can use your
second through fourth choices on the same application to apply for a
license. You may only submit one application per species, per draw, per
year. Note that the secondary draw does not gain or use preference
points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.40 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. See page 9.

▶ NEW CERTAIN EITHER-SEX LICENSES IN GMU 70 ARE NOW SEX SPECIFIC:

For muzzleloader, first season rifle and fourth season rifle, cow and/or bull
licenses are available to apply for instead of either-sex licenses as in past years.
See page 44 and 49.

▶ NEW ALL COW LICENSES IN GMU 521 THAT WERE LIST B ARE NOW LIST A:

Cow licenses for archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons are now all List A.
This means GMU 521 is no longer available for over-the-counter archery antlerless elk hunts; limited muzzleloader and rifle seasons now each have a new
GMU 521 hunt code; and cow licenses for limited muzzleloader and rifle seasons that were in GMU grouping 41, 42, 52, 411, 421 and 521 are now in a new
GMU grouping without unit 521 as a valid GMU to hunt. See pages 43–51.

▶ NEW THE SEASON FOR HUNT CODE E-F-009-L1-R IN GMU 9 NOW STARTS EARLIER
AND ENDS LATER: This cow hunt now runs from Sept. 1–Nov. 30 and has been
changed from a List A to a List B license. See page 45.

▶ NEW HUNT CODE E-F-074-P5-R HAS BEEN REMOVED AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO APPLY FOR.
▶ NEW THE SEASON FOR HUNT CODE E-F-085-L1-R IN GMU GROUPING 85, 140 &amp;
851 IS NOW SHORTER: This late-season cow hunt now runs from Dec. 15–31,
instead of into Jan. as in past years. See page 50.

▶ NEW GMUs 105 &amp; 106 HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GMU GROUPING 104, 105
&amp; 106 FOR HUNT CODE E-F-104-P5-R: This hunt code is only valid in GMU 104
now. Hunters can still get over-the-counter plains rifle either-sex elk licenses
for GMUs 105 and 106. See pages 41 and 50.

▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER
ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available in
unlimited numbers as “add-on” licenses only: You can add on
one of these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for
the same method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages
23–26) and elk (pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages
38–39) for the available add-on OTC bear license hunts. Note that for some
unit groupings, not every unit is valid for adding on an OTC bear license.
Check the unit information in the tables carefully! Also see page 66 of the
"Bear" section. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list
of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and hunt code.

▶ ARCHERY. Only legal hand-held bows are allowed in archery season. See page 14.
▶ MUZZLELOADING. Muzzleloading elk licenses are limited, available through
the draw. Only legal muzzleloading rifles and smoothbore muskets are allowed in muzzleloading season. See page 14.

TABLE SYMBOLS
▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for which an average of a
least six preference points are needed for a Colorado resident to draw that
license. This is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be
drawn. Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

DEFINITIONS

▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 11.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5 inches long.

See "Antler Point Restrictions" on page 36 NEW and online at:
cpw.state.co.us/huntingresources#InTheField
▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers. "Antlerless" can
also mean a young male with antlers less than 5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal bull or cow.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY. LEAVE NO TRACE!

The LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES are the best way to minimize your impact while hunting:
▶ PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road closures,
leave gates as found.
▶ TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made. Use existing sites whenever possible.
▶ DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out. All trash including food scraps.
▶ LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs for target practice.
Clean all gear between trips.
▶ MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t put trash or food in the fire pit.
▶ RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals; store your camp food and trash securely.
▶ BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous
and welcoming to others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws, and encourages all
hunters to put Leave No Trace skills and ethics into action on every hunt. This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership with
the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information, visit: www.LNT.org

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game meat
poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing or carrying
disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged
to contact their local public health department or CPW office for
information on wildlife diseases where they plan to hunt. Public
health officials recommend the following precautions when
handling and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found dead.
Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW office near
you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol wipes
after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use. Use hot
soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent chlorine bleach
solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices from
adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

DON’T FORGET: You can exchange your moose license for a different method of take within the same unit.
Take your tag to a CPW location to exchange it to hunt in a different season. The exchange fee still applies.

▶ MUZZLELOADER
▶ RIFLE

SEPT. 11–30
SEPT. 11–19
OCT. 1–14

Check the hunt code tables for separate cow and bull/either-sex moose hunting
opportunities.

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW CERTAIN MOOSE HUNT CODES WILL HAVE LIMITED QUOTA IN
THE DRAW IN 2021: Some of the quota for certain hunt codes

for moose have been reserved for 2020 moose license holders
who were affected by the 2020 fires. Hunt codes shaded in
orange in the moose hunt code tables on pages 59–61 have
limited quota available for the 2021 draw as a result. Unless
you were contacted directly by CPW about this opportunity, any
other 2020 moose licenses held are not eligible for a guaranteed
2021 license.
▶ NEW NEW BULL &amp; COW HUNTS IN GMU GROUPING 25, 26 &amp; 231
AND GMU GROUPING 47, 444 &amp; 471: You can apply to hunt cows
for the archery, muzzleloader or rifle seasons, and apply to
hunt bulls for season choice (archery, muzzloader and rifle
seasons). See page 59 and 61.

▶ NEW NEW COW HUNTS IN GMU 43: A new cow hunt is available to

apply for in archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons. See page 59.

▶ NEW NEW BULL HUNT FOR GMU GROUPING 56 &amp; 561: A new bull

hunt is available to apply for in season choice: archery, muzzleloader and rifle seasons. See page 61.

▶ NEW HUNTERS CAN NOW SUBMIT THE HEAD OR INCISOR OF ANTLERLESS MOOSE AT MANDATORY INSPECTIONS: See “Mandatory
Moose Inspections” below.

▶ UNITS 1, 20, 38, 44, 45, 53, 54, 55, 63, 65, 68, 74, 75, 79, 201, 551 &amp;
681 have low-density moose populations, and currently there is
very little harvest history for these hunts. Some moose habitat
occurs on private land, so be sure to get landowner permission
before hunting.

▶ THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered moose is one. All licenses

available by draw. If you’ve harvested a bull, you may not apply
for an antlered or either-sex license.

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables (see
table example below). The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same
species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license,
or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See the chart below for your options of getting more than one moose license!

Sample archery moose table, page 59

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR.
Additional licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over-the-counter or special
licenses issued by CPW.

PREFERENCE POINT FEE &amp; WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
▶ To apply for a preference point only, enter M-P999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code on your
application. You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second choice
on the same application to apply for a license.
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat have a preference and weighted
preference point fee. If you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice or are
unsuccessful in drawing your first choice hunt,
you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident preference point fee. The fee is waived
for youth and resident lifetime license holders.
Residents who are in the military on active duty
outside Colorado can request a preference point
fee refund.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out your draw
application(s), and therefore will not be charged
the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or

weighted point for 2021. This includes if you
apply for a preference point hunt code as your
first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on
file will be charged after the draw. The application fee, $10.40 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be
charged, you will get an email notification. If
you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 11),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2021.
For more, see “Preference Points” on page 9.

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different,
random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. For more details, go to: cpw.state.co.us/
weightedpreference

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS:
1. There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability
of drawing and applies to both male and female
licenses.

LIMITED LICENSES
Be aware that hunt codes shaded orange in the following tables (pages 59–61) have quota reserved for 2020 moose license holders who were affected by the 2020 fires.
These hunt codes have limited quota available for the 2021 draw. See the "Licenses Guaranteed for 2020 Hunters" table on the next page for details.

more than one license for the same species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B
license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license
and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See below for your options of getting more than one bear license!

NEED TO KNOW
▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THECOUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are
available in unlimited numbers as “add-on” licenses
only: You can add on one of these bear licenses if
you have a deer or elk license for the same method
of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer
(pages 23–26) and elk (pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for
elk (pages 38–39) for the available add-on OTC bear license hunts.
Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is valid for
adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in
the tables carefully! Also see page 66 of this section.
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list of
every available bear hunt broken out by unit and hunt code to help
find your ideal hunt.

PREFERENCE POINTS

62

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code
on your primary draw application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your primary
draw application to use another year. You can use your second through
fourth choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may
only submit one application per species, per draw, per year. Note that
the secondary draw does not gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat, do not have a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.40 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. See “Preference Points” on page 9.

▶ LIST C: You may purchase as many List C licenses per year that you’d like, in addition to any
other licenses you hold. These are available through the primary draw, secondary draw, as

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS &amp; SEALS

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!

Hunters must personally present bears
to any CPW office (see inside front
cover) during normal business hours,
or by appointment with a CPW officer,
for a free inspection, check report and
sealing within five working days after
harvest.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection.
Seals must be attached to the hide until
tanned.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If
the head and hide are frozen, CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that

There are multiple ways to get a license and hunt bear in Colorado. For example:
Hunter A: Hunter A only likes to hunt bear, so hunter A would need to:
1. Apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license from the hunt
code tables on pages 63–65. And/or:
2. Buy an over-the-counter rifle bear license when OTC licenses go on sale Aug. 3
at 9 a.m. (hunt code tables on page 67).
Hunter B: Hunter B is planning to draw a deer or elk license, so hunter B has two options:
1. Also apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license.
2. Wait to see if they are awarded an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license,
and then add on an over-the-counter bear license of the same method of
take that matches at least one of the same units when OTC licenses go on sale.
Hunter C: Hunter C does not participate in the draw, but purchases an over-the-counter
archery elk license every year. Hunter C will wait until over-the-counter licenses
go on sale, purchase an OTC archery elk license, and then add on an OTC archery
bear license that matches at least one of the same units. There are no OTC archery
deer licenses or OTC muzzleloader licenses for any species available.

a tooth can be removed. Hunters can
help by making sure the jaw is propped
open with a stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until hide and skull are inspected
and sealed. Having a bear hide without
a seal after the five-day period is illegal,
and the hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a
foreign country, you must first obtain
CITES documents. Contact the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 303-3427430. Do not call the U.S Fish and
Wildlife Service about inspections or
seals for bears.

ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
Hunting bear during archery and muzzleloader deer and elk seasons:
▶ WHEN YOU SEE THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL: You can purchase an addon over-the-counter archery or muzzleloader bear license ONLY
if you have a deer or elk license for the same method of take:
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during
archery season before you can purchase an over-the-counter
archery bear license.
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during muzzleloader
season before you can purchase an over-the-counter muzzleloader bear
license.
■ At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match
one unit listed on your bear license.

▶ CHECK THE DEER &amp; ELK HUNT CODE TABLES: Look for the bear paw symbol in the
archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 23–26) and elk
(pages 42–44), and the OTC archery maps for elk (pages 38–39) to find
hunts with add-on archery and muzzleloader bear licenses available.
▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear any time during the dates specified in
the archery and muzzleloader tables below, with the correct method of take.
▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any of the unit(s) listed in the
table for which your bear license is valid. If your deer or elk license is for
private land only, you must use your bear license on private land only.
OVER-THE-COUNTER RIFLE LICENSES: OTC rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on licenses,
meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one of these bear
licenses. See the next page for more information on over-the-counter rifle licenses.

ARCHERY — ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
SEASON DATES: Sept. 2–30 — SEX: Either — You must hold an archery deer or elk license to purchase one of these licenses. — Do not apply in the draw for these hunts.

�BEAR

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
All archery, muzzleloader and rifle bear licenses that are sold over the counter
are unlimited in number. There are no longer licenses with caps. These
are either-sex licenses and can be purchased at CPW locations, sales agents,
by phone (1-800-244-5613) or online at cpw.state.co.us. NEW You can now
purchase licenses even after a season has started! Available online, by phone
and in person at CPW offices and sales agents around the state.

These licenses are NOT available through the draws. If you apply for these
hunt codes in a draw, your application will be automatically disqualified. Licenses are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 A.M. AUG 3.
Certain rules apply to over-the-counter archery and muzzleloader bear
licenses: See “Add-on Over-the-Counter Licenses” on the previous page.

REMEMBER! Over-the-counter rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on licenses, meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one of the bear licenses in the tables below.

LIST A, B &amp; C TABLES FOR DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN &amp; BEAR

20, 36,
53, 62

Misleading wording was
included in the printed version
of the brochure about how to
get List A &amp; B licenses in the biggame draws.
The wording implies that you
can purchase one List A or one
List B license through either the
primary or the secondary draw,
but not both.
The correct information is:
If you draw a license in
the primary draw, you can
still apply for licenses in
the secondary draw, too,
with certain restrictions
depending on the List type of
the license.

Clarifying language has been

The correct information is:
Whenever you see the bear
paw symbol in the deer

available: Please see page

The over-the-counter archery

The correct information is:
Over-the-counter archery
elk hunts, seen in the OTC
archery antlerless elk and
OTC antlered/either-sex elk
maps, ARE valid hunts for
adding on OTC archery bear
licenses. Also see page 66.

“MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!” ORANGE BOX
Information for one of the
options for hunting bear
was incorrect at the time of
publication. The “Hunter C”
section incorrectly stated that
a customer could purchase an
over-the-counter archery deer or
elk license.
62

The correct information is:
For “Hunter C,” the only
option for an over-thecounter archery license is
for elk. Deer do not have OTC
archery licenses available.

OVER-THE-COUNTER BEAR MAP
The over-the-counter bear
map was incorrect at the time
of publication. Certain unit
groupings were shaded the same
color, indicating a customer
could hunt all of those units,
even though the list of units in
the over-the-counter hunt code
tables did not match the map
shading.

The correct information is:
The map has been redone
to reflect the hunt code
table unit groupings for OTC
archery, OTC muzzleloader,
OTC rifle and OTC plains rifle.
OTC private-land-only rifle
unit groupings do not appear
in the map.

�WHAT'S NEW

WHAT’S NEW: 2020 REGULATION CHANGES &amp; NEW INFORMATION
▶ NEW SECONDARY BIG GAME DRAW REPLACES THE LEFTOVER DRAW:

■ Most elk, deer, pronghorn and bear licenses not issued through the
primary draw will now be made available in a secondary draw that is
open to anyone, whether they applied for the primary draw or not.
■ There will no longer be a leftover draw.
■ Applicants must have a qualifying license to apply for the secondary draw.
■ The $7 resident and $9 nonresident application fees will apply per species for the secondary draw as well as the primary draw.
■ The secondary draw does not use preference points, and you cannot
apply for preference points.
■ Secondary draw applications are accepted June 5–July 7, 8 p.m. MT.
■ Any licenses remaining after the secondary draw (except for Ranching
for Wildlife licenses) will be placed on the leftover list and available for
purchase on leftover day, starting Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. MT.
■ Applications for both the primary and secondary draws are only available online or by phone.
■ NOTE: "Unsuccessful options" have been removed for the draw application process. A list of hunt codes eligible for the secondary draw will
be posted online June 5. Over-the-counter unlimited licenses will be
available for purchase starting Aug. 6 at 9 a.m.
See page 4 for more details on the secondary draw.

▶ VALID DATES FOR ANNUAL LICENSES &amp; HABITAT STAMPS HAVE CHANGED:

Annual hunting and fishing licenses (such as fishing, small game, furbearer, resident combo small game/fishing) and Habitat Stamps will be valid
March 1–March 31 of the following year (13 months), instead of April 1–
March 31. Annual and qualifying licenses go on sale March 1.

▶ BIG GAME SEASON STRUCTURE CHANGES GO INTO EFFECT IN 2020:

The new 2020–2024 big game season structure starts in 2020. Some of
the bigger changes include season choice hunts for bull and either-sex
moose, and many new over-the-counter and limited licenses for archery,
muzzleloader and rifle seasons for bear (see below).

▶ FLOAT GROUP CHANGES: Many float groups — groups of hunt codes where
the quota is shared between them — have changed this year. Be sure
to apply for the hunt code you wish to hunt, as you may not be able to
exchange your license once you receive it.

▶ LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER
ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available in unlimited numbers this year as "add-on" licenses only: You can add
on one of these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for
the same method of take and at least one hunting unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt codes for deer (pages 22–25)
and elk (pages 41–43) for the available add-on OTC bear license hunts.

Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is valid for adding on an
OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the tables carefully! Also

see page 66 of the “Bear” section.
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list of available
bear hunts broken out by unit and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

▶ SEASON CHOICE HUNT OPTIONS FOR MOOSE: Starting in 2020, you can

hunt bull or either-sex moose during archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle
seasons with the correct method of take in certain units until you fill
your license. You must follow all applicable season restrictions, including
season dates. See "Moose" section, page 58.

NOTE: STATE OF COLORADO PROPERTIES

Not all state lands (shown in blue on most maps) are open to the public. Some
require permission from the leaseholder. Please see the current Colorado
Recreation Lands brochure for a complete list of state wildlife areas, state parks
and state trust lands open to the public: cpw.state.co.us/rec-lands

▶ THE HUNT CODE LETTER FOR SEASON CHOICE HAS CHANGED: Instead of the
letter "R" at the end of season choice hunt codes, there will now be the
letter "X." For example: D-F-091-S3-X. See page 32 for the deer season choice
hunt code table and page 61 for the moose season choice hunt code tables.

▶ HUNTING RESERVATIONS MAY NOW BE MADE ONLINE OR BY PHONE:

Hunters must make big-game hunting reservations for all properties that
require them, either online at cpw.state.co.us (click "Buy &amp; Apply") or
through the NEW reservation phone number: 1-800-244-5613
The following units are anticipated to become part of the hunting
reservation system in 2020: GMUs 1, 11, 23, 40, 41, 211 and 441. Starting
in May, visit cpw.state.co.us/huntingreservations for updates and
more information.

▶ BIG GAME WALK-IN ACCESS HAS EXPANDED: The Big Game Walk-In Access

Program will now offer big-game hunting on many properties across eastern Colorado. See page 12 and the current Regular Walk-in Atlas for more
details: cpw.state.co.us/walkinatlas

▶ NEW NOVICE ADULT OUTREACH LICENSES: Outreach licenses for novice

adults are now offered to qualified organizations sponsoring novice adult
hunting activities for deer, elk and pronghorn. Look for details on page
12 and online: cpw.state.co.us/novicehunterprogram

▶ FIRST RESPONDER LIFETIME COMBO &amp; ANNUAL SENIOR COMBO LICENSES
NOW QUALIFYING LICENSES: THe new resident first responder combo small

game/fishing license and the new annual senior combo small game/fishing
license are now qualifying licenses for the big game draw(s). See pages 4–6.

▶ REMEMBER! IF YOU PLAN ON HUNTING SMALL GAME OR WATERFOWL WITH
YOUR QUALIFYING LICENSE, EXTRA STEPS ARE REQUIRED: All of the qualifying licenses for the big game draw(s) — except for annual spring turkey
— require you to register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP) if
you're planning on hunting small game or waterfowl. Register with HIP
at www.colohip.com or 866-COLO-HIP (1-866-265-6447). Although smallgame licenses go on sale March 1, HIP numbers are not available until
April 1. You must also purchase the Colorado and Federal Waterfowl
stamps, if applicable.

▶ MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING IN SELECT GMUs:

In 2020, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during any of the rifle seasons from specific
GMUs. There will be no charge for mandatory testing. Get more information about where and how to submit a CWD sample at cpw.state.co.us/
cwd. See page 21 of the "Deer" section for a list of the mandatory GMUs.

▶ VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING FEE WAIVED FOR SELECT GMUs: In 2020, testing

fees for voluntary submissions will be waived for all deer harvested during the archery and muzzleloader seasons in the mandatory-testing rifle
GMUs. All other GMUs will have a fee of $25 for voluntary testing. See
page 21 of the "Deer" section for a list of the mandatory GMUs.

▶ VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING FEE: In 2020, hunters not included in manda-

tory testing may choose to have their deer, elk or moose tested for CWD.
Testing cost is $25. Get more information about where and how to submit a CWD sample at: cpw.state.co.us/cwd

�HUNT PLAN

NEW PLANNING YOUR HUNT

Call 303-297-1192 or 303-291-PLAN (7526) for more help getting started!

This brochure will help you decide which big-game species you'd like to hunt, when and where you'd like to hunt, what method of take
you'd like to use and the requirements for getting your hunting license. It only takes a few steps to plan your hunt:

DO YOU HAVE YOUR HUNTER EDUCATION?
1 You'll
need to have your hunter education certification and card

number before applying for the draw(s) or purchasing a hunting
license if you were born after Jan. 1, 1949. Remember that you must
carry proof of hunter education in the field when you hunt!
See pages 5–6 for additional license requirements.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HUNT WITH?
5 Colorado
has seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunt-

ing. Legal requirements for the various methods and transporting them in the field are described in this brochure.

WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
Colorado offers 10 big-game species. This brochure
has hunting rules and options for deer (mule and
whitetail), elk, pronghorn, moose and bear. Pick
the species and sex you're interested in hunting:
Page 11 has information that helps identify
big-game animals.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
3 Colorado
is divided into hunting areas called game
management units (i.e. GMUs). It's important
that every hunter knows the boundaries of their
hunting area, including private land boundaries.
Check out the state map and unit descriptions
in the back of this brochure or online:
cpw.state.co.us/maps

DO YOU WANT TO HUNT?
4 InWHEN
general for deer, elk and bear hunting, archery season starts in

early Sept. and lasts almost a month. Muzzleloader season starts in
the middle of archery season, and four rifle seasons follow that.
The first rifle season is limited to elk and bear hunting only. The
second, third and fourth rifle seasons are for elk, bear and deer
hunters, who will be in the field at the same time.

TYPES OF LICENSES YOU CAN GET
6 Each
year, a set (limited) number of licenses is allotted to each GMU.
You can apply for the big game draw(s) to get one of these limited
licenses, or after the draws are over, you can purchase a remaining
limited license (leftover limited license) when they go on sale.
Some licenses for elk, pronghorn and bear are also available without needing to enter the draw(s) and are not restricted in quantity
(unlimited). These can be purchased over the counter after they go
on sale in person, online and at sales agents around the state.

READ THIS BROCHURE!
7 Now
that you have a plan, be sure to read through this brochure

to help get your license and be prepared out in the field.
The first 19 pages have all of your basic hunting information: new changes, license information, options and sales dates,
general information, hunting laws, application information and
deadlines, and how to read the hunt code tables.
Pages 20–67 break out each of the five big-game species
in this brochure into their own sections. Each section has
species-specific regulation changes, season dates, how to get
more than one license and hunt code tables.
The last few pages, 68–73, provide a GMU map and detailed
descriptions of the GMU boundaries and specific land restrictions.

�HUNT TERMS

NEW HUNTING LICENSE TERMS &amp; DEFINITIONS
LICENSE TYPES

◆ Qualifying licenses: A current-year qualifying license is required in order
to apply for any of the big-game draws. See page 4 for more.

◆ Limited licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for

specific units and dates for each species, and are issued through an application and draw process.

LIMITED LICENSES INCLUDE:

Public land licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are valid
on all CPW-owned or leased public lands, private lands and most federal lands in the specific units listed on your license/in this brochure.
Private-land-only licenses: Licenses you can get through the draw(s) that are
only valid on private lands in the specific GMUs listed on your license/
in this brochure. If your license hunt code has a "P" in the second-tolast part, it's valid on private land ONLY. For example: E-F-007-P5-R
Leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary draw.
They become the licenses eligible for the secondary draw, and any remaining licenses after the secondary draw become available as over-thecounter leftover limited licenses (see "OTC leftover limited licenses" below).
Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses: Licenses that are available on certain
ranch properties for Colorado residents only. See: cpw.state.co.us/rfw
Season choice licenses: Licenses that let you hunt in any or all of the seasons
(archery, muzzleloader and/or rifle) in specified units with the correct
method of take until your license is filled. These licenses are available
for deer and NEW bull or either-sex moose only. See pages 32 and 61.

◆ Over-the-counter (OTC) licenses: Licenses (unlimited, unlimited add-on

bear and leftover limited) that are available without having to go through
the draw(s). They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do
not use preference points and may be purchased any time through the
day before the applicable hunting season begins. They're available at over
700 sales agents around the state, online or by phone.

OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES INCLUDE:

LIST
LIST A, BB &amp;&amp;CC

List A, B &amp; C: All big-game hunting

licenses are either List A, B or
C, as indicated in the hunt code
tables (see image at right ▶) or
next to most of the OTC maps.
The List types exist so that you
know if you can get more than
one license for the same species:
Sample deer rifle table
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A
license and one List B license, or two List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as
well as one List A license and one List B license, or two List B licenses =
A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.

PREFERENCE
POINTS
PREFERENCE POINTS
Preference points: Preference points help hunters to be successful in future

primary draws because points add up per species until an applicant draws
a first-choice license. One preference point is awarded to each applicant
who qualifies for and DOES NOT draw their first-choice limited license for
deer, elk, pronghorn or bear in the primary draw, or who applies using a
specific preference-point hunt code that gets them a preference point only
as their first choice.

Weighted preference points: For moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep

and mountain goat, applicants with at least three preference points will
be awarded a weighted preference point in subsequent draws and will be
given weighted preference during the license draw. See page 9 and
cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for more details.

OTHER
DEFINITIONS
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Carcass tag: The bottom portion of a hunting license, to be signed, removed
and kept with the carcass ONLY after harvesting the animal.

Unlimited licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in quantity by CPW. You
may purchase these licenses when over-the-counter licenses go on sale.
"Unlimited" does not mean you can purchase an unlimited number of
licenses: See the "List A, B &amp; C" definition at top right.

CWD: CWD is a fatal neurological disease that attacks the brains of deer, elk
and moose, and has been found in several regions in the state. In 2020,
CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples for deer
from certain units. See pages 13 and 20.

NEW Add-on bear licenses: If you have an archery or muzzleloader deer or
elk license, you can purchase an OTC bear license for the same
method of take. At least one hunting unit must overlap on both
licenses. See the deer and elk hunt tables for available hunts (look
for the bear paw symbol!), pages 20 and 35, and "Bear," page 66.

Float groups: When the quota — or number of licenses available — is assigned to a group of hunt codes, rather than just one, that is considered
a float group. If you draw or purchase a hunt code in a float group, you
may exchange that hunt code for another hunt in that group for a fee as
long as your season hasn't started.

OTC leftover limited licenses: Licenses that weren't issued in the primary or
secondary draws that go on the leftover list; reissued licenses (see "reissues," bottom right) also go onto the list. These are available for purchase
in person, online or at sales agents starting on leftover day (see page 4).

◆ Landowner preference program (LPP) vouchers: The LPP encour-

ages private landowners to provide habitat for the benefit of wildlife
populations and to relieve hunting pressure on public lands. Deer, elk
and pronghorn vouchers are allocated to landowners who meet certain
qualifications. Applications are drawn during the primary draw, and successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The voucher is transferred directly to a hunter, who then purchases a
license to hunt. See page 7 and cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner.

BIG GAME DRAWS
Primary draw: The first, main big-game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

NEW Secondary draw: This draw replaces the big-game leftover draw from
past years and includes deer, elk, pronghorn and bear. Applicants can
apply for the secondary draw whether or not they applied for the primary draw. Preference points will not be used.

GMU: Huntable areas are broken down into units called "game management
units." These units help you decide where you'd like to hunt. See the GMU
map on the inside back cover.
Method of take: Colorado has hunting seasons based on archery, muzzleloader
and rifle/associated methods. See table on page 14 for details on which
method you can use to hunt each of the big-game species in this brochure.
Refunds: You can get a refund OR have your preference points restored for a
big-game license that you draw. You must return the license to CPW at
least 30 days before the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Reissues: Most limited licenses that have been returned will be made available to other hunters through a reissue process. Returned limited licenses
that took 5 or more preference points to draw will be offered to the next
applicant in line, up to 5 applicants. Those that took 4 or fewer preference
points to draw will be available to the public on the leftover list.
Exchanges: You can also exchange a license, as long as the license you want
to get is for a hunt code for the same species as the current license and
there is quota remaining (except for float groups and unlimited licenses).
In most cases, you can exchange from an OTC license to a limited
license of the same species and vice versa. Note that there are no refunds
or preference point restorations available on exchanged licenses. The fee
to exchange is half the cost of the license, not to exceed $25.

preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw a specific license
during a 3-year period that ended with the 2009 drawing. (Units with
low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident licenses are drawn.)
1. For elk and deer hunt codes that required six or more points for a
Colorado resident to draw, up to 20 percent may go to nonresidents.
These hunts are designated in unit tables by a + under the SEX column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for a Colorado
resident to draw an elk or deer license, up to 35 percent may go to
nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain after all Colorado resident first choices have been drawn for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and Ranching
for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and nonresidents,
all nonresidents in the group will count against the nonresident allocation.

2020 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: APPLICATIONS &amp; PREFERENCE POINTS

�PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINTS

PREFERENCE POINT FEE
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat have
a preference and weighted preference point fee. If you apply for a
preference point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in
drawing your first choice hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or
$100 nonresident preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth,
resident lifetime license holders and residents who are in the military
on active duty outside Colorado.

1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED PER SPECIES APPLIED FOR to hunters who
apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice
hunt code in the primary draw for big-game species in this brochure. You
may apply for a preference point as your first-choice hunt code (see below).

Preference points are only used during the primary draw, they do NOT
apply for the secondary draw.

▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the preference point fee
while filling out your draw application(s), and therefore will not be
charged the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point
for 2020. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt code
as your first choice.

2. YOUTH AGES 12–17 can apply for a point. Youth age 11 can also apply for a
point provided they turn 12 in 2020.
3. PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE: You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another year; specific preference-point
hunt codes are listed at the beginning of each species section in this
brochure. You can also choose other hunt codes as your second, third or
fourth choices. Do not submit a separate application for preference points,
or both applications will be disqualified.

▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on file will be charged
after the draw. The application fee, $10.13 Habitat Stamp and qualifying license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be charged, we
will email you. If you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 19),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2020.

4. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated preference
points for that species become void and return to zero.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an applicant
fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for
that species become void.

WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
1. There are three species of big-game animals that use the weighted
preference point system to award licenses in Colorado: moose,
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.

6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the license quota
or nonresident cap would be exceeded, and except for the hybrid draw. See
page 19 for hybrid draw information and hunt codes.

2. Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to both male and female licenses.
3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat. If you have three
preference points and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.

7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the fewest points.
See "Apply as a Group" at cpw.state.co.us/bg/planyourhunt.
8. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-counter, leftover limited licenses
and the secondary draw don’t use or generate points.

10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW account:
Go to cpw.state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."

4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then
dividing that new application number by the number of weighted
points you have, plus one. Individuals with three preference points
and no weighted preference will have their application number
divided by one.

11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN HUNTERS. Points are
awarded for specific species, not for hunt codes, sex, unit(s), season(s) or
method of take.

5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by
this new number from lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.

9. PREFERENCE POINT FEE: The preference point fee no longer applies to deer,
elk, pronghorn or bear. See right for details on the preference point fee.

NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted
preference points. Go to cpw.state.co.us/weightedpreference for
more details.

12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim Colorado as
their home of residence and are deployed outside the U.S. are eligible, when
they return home, to apply for preference points for any primary draws
they missed while deployed. Applications will be available at the end of July.

�HUNT CODES

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES

HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION:

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt
in the limited license draw(s) each year. Hunt codes are an 8-character code
used to designate species, sex, GMU, season and method of take:

HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE:

These are available through the primary or secondary draws.
Hunt tables for bear on pages 66–67 contain hunt codes for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.

D = deer
M = male
011 = unit number 11
O2 = second season
R = rifle

designates the species:

D = deer
E = elk
A = pronghorn
M = moose
B = bear

2 SECOND CHARACTER

designates the sex of the animal: M = male
F = female
E = either sex

3 THIRD CHARACTERS

designate the game manage001 = unit 1
ment unit (GMU):
If more than one unit is valid, only 201 = unit 201
the lowest unit number will appear.
etc.

4 FOURTH CHARACTERS indicate the season/hunt dates:

NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in
the hunt units and the letter "O" in
the season section look similar!

O1 = first season
O2 = second season
etc.
P = private-land-only hunts
(followed by the season number:
P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)
E1 = early season
L1 = late season
K2, K3 = youth-only
W or J = Ranching for Wildlife

5 FIFTH CHARACTER

designates the method of take:

A = archery
M = muzzleloader
R = rifle and associated methods
NEW X = season choice

OTHER HUNT CODE TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A SQUARE BULLET ( ■ ) in the UNIT column indicates there is a special note
about that unit, displayed below the hunt code information.

10

2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for which an average of
at least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that license.
This is only an average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn. These
calculations are based on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use.
2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you'll look next to locate the game management unit (GMU) you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully.
Some licenses are valid in one unit only, while others are valid in multiple
units. This column also indicates which hunts offer add-on bear licenses
in the over-the-counter deer and elk archery and muzzleloader tables:
Look for the bear paw symbol!
3. THE VALID UNIT(S) COLUMN will display information for each hunt and
whether it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit
before you hunt.
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the
VALID UNITS column will list all the units where you can hunt with that
same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the
chart will read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt.
4. THE DATES COLUMN lists the applicable season/hunt dates when the license
is valid. Each unit may have multiple hunt dates, so please read carefully.
5. THE SEX COLUMN indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that
specific hunt code. Read the information carefully because the sex of an
animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE COLUMN displays the code you will use to apply for
the license you want. There are many possible hunt codes associated with
each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted, so
please read carefully. See section at left on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST COLUMN displays what type of license you are buying. There are
opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as
the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C.
For details, see the "List A, B &amp; C: Get More Than One License" charts under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages.
When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application.
NOTE: You may submit one application for each species, per draw, per year.
For each application, you may fill in up to 4 hunt code choices.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.
Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the
front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.

ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

GET THE LEAD OUT

SEE THE CDHPE PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT:

www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/lead-in-wild-game
From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as
far into the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process
an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with
your commercial processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

NEW NOVICE ADULT OUTREACH LICENSES

Outreach licenses for novice adults are now offered to qualified organizations sponsoring educational, novice-adult hunting activities.
Licenses are offered on a first-come, first-served basis on private land for novice
adult hunters who are 18 and older, and who have never purchased a big-game
license, have not purchased a big-game license in the last 5 years, or who have only
purchased a big-game license in the previous year. Application procedures are online
at: cpw.state.co.us/novicehunterprogram

NEW BIG GAME WALK-IN ACCESS PROGRAM

The Big Game Walk-In Access Program will now offer big-game hunting on many
properties across eastern Colorado. There will be overlap in small-game and big-game
seasons, and properties will be signed with WIA boundary signs.
In 2020 these properties are open for big-game hunting to properly licensed hunters
during established big-game seasons from Sept. 1‒Dec. 31 and to small-game hunting
from Sept. 1‒Feb. 28, 2021. Big-game hunters must possess a valid pronghorn, deer or
elk license valid for the unit in which the Walk-In Access property lies. All normal WIA
regulations apply. All big-game hunting regulations apply. Go to: cpw.state.co.us/wia

DREAM HUNT LICENSES

Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to hunters ages
12–21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening disease or injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between Aug. 15 and Jan. 31 each
year. Licenses are now offered in those units with at least one hunt code that requires
10 or more resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching for Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission from the
landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations must request licenses
in writing and document the life-threatening or terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to CPW,
Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest, hunter numbers and recreation days. Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call
or email, asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where you
hunted, if you harvested an animal and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not required, but
responding (even if you didn’t hunt or harvest) is an important part of setting future
seasons and license numbers. If contacted, you can take the survey online at colobg
harvest.com, or call the toll-free phone number 1-855-924-4278. The survey runs 24
hours daily, Oct. through mid-Feb. See the CPW website for details: cpw.state.co.us

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

WHAT IS IT?

WHERE IS IT?

MANDATORY TESTING 2020

4

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks the brains
of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated, display abnormal
behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show no signs of illness.
The map in the back of this brochure highlights game management units in red and
yellow where CWD has been detected (inside back cover). CWD has been found in
several regions in Colorado, as well as other states and provinces. For deer, infection
rates tend to be highest in prime-aged mature bucks.
In 2020, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples (heads)
from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from specific GMUs to better evaluate
the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge for mandatory testing.
Find the GMUs and hunt codes selected for mandatory testing on pages 20–34.
If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer, elk or moose has CWD, they can submit their animal and
pay a testing fee of $25. Voluntary submissions are accepted annually statewide.
In 2020, testing fees for voluntary submissions will be waived for all deer harvested
within the same GMUs selected for mandatory testing (pages 20–34).

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE

Disease in humans resulting from CWD exposure
has not been reported to date. However, public health
officials cannot determine there is no risk from eating
meat from infected animals. Consequently, officials
recommend that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected animals. Please see the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment website (www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/
prion-diseases) for the most current recommendations on carcass
testing and other preventive measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public health
officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume any deer, elk
or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be sick. When fielddressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw
to cut through the brain or spinal cord (backbone). Minimize contact
with brain or spinal cord tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always
wash hands and utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing
game meat.

OTHER INFORMATION
MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for
hunters who harvest a bear or moose, as these species require
mandatory inspections (see pages 58 and 63 for details).
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to give a
location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint where you
harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude and latitude
coordinates. Bring that information to record on the check report
form during harvest inspections.

HERD MANAGEMENT: YOUR INPUT IS WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a herd
management plan review process during which CPW updates management
objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population size and the
ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence decisions about
how many licenses of each type can be made available in any given year.
Every plan update allows for public comment and review. CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about how big-game
populations are managed. Please do not miss these important opportunities
to have your voice heard.
Information about current plans and opportunities to inform plan updates
are available on our webpage. You can also receive notices by signing up for CPW's Insider email list from our webpage.

HERD MANAGEMENT PLAN INFO: cpw.state.co.us/hmp
TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

The TIPs program awards licenses and preference points to eligible persons
that report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big game or
turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal take, possession
or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the charging officer of
your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/tips for the criteria to qualify for a preference point or license, or contact CPW for details at
303-297-1192.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHVs)

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on
public lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route
must have a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–
March 31. OHV permits (applicable for nonresidents and street-legal/plated
vehicles) are available online at cpw.state.co.us/bg/ohvpermit, at CPW
locations and sales agents. Questions, call 303-297-1192. Renewal registrations
are available online and at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers
must be done in person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept. of
Agriculture, 303-869-9031; Forest Service or BLM; or go to: colorado.gov/
pacific/agconservation/weedfreeforage

HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact
a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30 days
before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia within
a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s
office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection before
transportation. Call the brand inspector: 303-869-9160

�HUNTING LAWS

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

If convicted of these felony violations, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only
the hide, antlers or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide outfitting services without required registration.

HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK

IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor vehicle.
Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is removed from flashpan. It
is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader in or
on a motor vehicle: The chamber must be unloaded or the battery must be
disconnected and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear seasons unless they are unloaded in the chamber and magazine.
Firearms (except handguns) and bows carried on an OHV must be fully
enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with open ends or sides
are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or their agents who
carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on property they
own or lease.
6. Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or
waters. Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be
erected on CPW land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season during
which they will be used. No nails can be driven into trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands must be removed within 10 days after the season
they are used in ends. The owner’s Customer Identification (CID) number
and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable blinds or underside
of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not reserve them for
personal use; they may be used on first-come, first-served basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life or property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same
day or day after a flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use computer-assisted remote technology (any device, equipment or software used to remotely control a weapon, including the Internet) to hunt
or fish. Hunters and anglers must be physically present in the immediate
vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Use unmanned or remote-control drones to look for, scout or detect wildlife.
13. Use live-action game cameras to locate, surveil, or aid or assist in locating
or surveiling game wildlife in order to take/try to take game wildlife during the same or following day. "Live-action game camera" is any device
capable of recording and transmitting photographic/video data wirelessly
to a remote device (such as a computer or smart phone). This doesn't include game cameras that record photographic/video data and store such
data for later use, as long as the device cannot transmit data wirelessly.
14. Use a drone to look for/scout/detect game wildlife.
15. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
16. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
17. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
18. Fail to extinguish a campfire completely.
19. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound
or may have wounded. It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from
landowner or person in charge.
20. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare edible wildlife meat for
human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and
backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible
meat.

Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR FLUORESCENT PINK material on an outer
garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or
moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or
head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting during a limited bear
season, hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose
license, or licensed for private land hunting through the Ranching for
Wildlife program do not have to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but
should consider wearing it to increase safety while in the field.
Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear orange or
pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are
open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange or pink that is visible from all directions on the outside
of the blind.

CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE OR PINK DOES NOT QUALIFY!
Mesh garments are legal but
not recommended. CPW
strongly recommends wearing
daylight fluorescent orange
or fluorescent pink clothes in
the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing
orange or pink is for hunter safety, as biggame animals don’t see these colors like we
do. Movement, sound and smell are what give
hunters away.
21. Hunt with rifles, handguns or shotguns firing a single slug, or archery
equipment within an area 50 feet on each side of the center line of any
state highway or municipal or county road, as designated by the county.
22. Discharge any firearm or release an arrow from, upon or across any public
road.
23. Party hunt (i.e. harvest someone else’s game or let someone harvest yours).
24. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle;
throwing objects; making movements; harassing hunters by using threats
or actions; erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally
injecting yourself into the line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may
have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
25. For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law
or regulation.
26. Use dogs.
27. Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt,
minerals, grain, animal parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Salt or mineral blocks used for normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
28. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more cubs. A cub is a bear less
than a year old.
29. Hunt bears in their dens.
30. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting license or unless authorized by CPW.
31. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
32. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner
or person in charge.
33. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control
lease, are private.
34. Use State Land Board properties not leased and signed by CPW, unless
permission is given by the lessee.

�HUNTING LAWS

LICENSE RESTRICTIONS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes,
including felony offenses and domestic violence-related offenses, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been convicted of a crime, check
with the appropriate Colorado and federal law enforcement authority to find
out how these laws apply to you.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by Child Support Enforcement.

BAG LIMITS
1. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally take of each species. Big game taken in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the
maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
2. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
3. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your
big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a
small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does
not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS

16

▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals
you harvest per instructions on tag. Tags
must be signed, dated and detached from
the license immediately upon harvest. See
image at right for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the
carcass (not to detached hides, horns or
antlers carried separately) immediately
prior to and during transportation in any
vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence
or other place of storage. Tags must stay
on until meat is processed and remain
with meat until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and
attached to the species lawfully taken or
killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before
harvesting an animal.
▶Do not remove any parts of a license except
the carcass tag only after harvest. Doing
so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate. The upper part of the license
must be kept by whoever harvested the
animal.
▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license is valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as
the rest of the license is intact.

Hunting license

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone
else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must
accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag
or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must
follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to have CWD.

DONATING GAME MEAT

1

2

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient;
donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required.
It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and recipient
are subject to bag and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a license for
exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.

2020 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS &amp; YOUTH HUNTING

�YOUTH HUNTS

YOUTH HUNTING

Deer, elk, pronghorn and bear opportunities for hunters ages 12–17

BIG-GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTH

YOUTH EXPANDED HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES

CPW expanded youth hunting by giving kids more
opportunities to harvest big-game animals.
Youth may pursue antlerless deer or elk during
any rifle season open to antlerless hunts in valid
GMUs (see page 18), as well as hunt pronghorn
does during Dec. NEW and the season that runs
until Jan. 31, 2021 in GMUs 9 and 191.
NEW Youth may now also hunt bear with the new
youth bear license (see license fee table on page 5)
during all seasons. See the "Bear" section, page
62, for the hunt code tables and map.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Youth must be ages 12–17 (see age requirements at
right) and meet hunter education requirements.
2. Youth must have an unfilled limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license
after their original season ends. Then they may
participate in any open rifle antlerless deer or elk
hunt that begins after the last day of the season
listed on their original license. (Does not include
Ranching for Wildlife.) See pronghorn rules on
page 19.
Youth may hunt in the areas specified on the
maps (pages 18–19), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
NEW For bear, youth can purchase a youth bear
license and hunt any of the seasons from the
hunt code tables! See the "Bear" section, page
62. Hunter education requirements still apply.
3. Youth with an unfilled either-sex elk license must
take the original license to a CPW location to
have it converted to an antlerless license before
hunting any extended seasons.
4. Youth hunters 12–15 years old must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also
meets hunter education requirements. Youth and

mentors must be able to see and hear each other
while hunting. Mentors can hunt only if they
have a current license valid for the same units
and dates the youth will be hunting.
5. Youth must follow all applicable regulations
for any hunts and units they select during the
extended season, including season dates and
geographic restrictions.
6. Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses and
either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not be
converted for extended youth hunting.

AGE REQUIREMENTS

1. Youth ages 12–17 are offered reduced-cost
licenses for deer, elk and pronghorn.
2. At age 11, youth may buy or apply for a license if
they will turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youth cannot hunt with the license until
they turn 12.
3. Youth who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
extended season hunt. Youth hunting rules still
apply, even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
4. Youth must be 12–17 at time of purchase to buy
a youth unlimited or leftover license.
5. In order to receive a reduced-cost license and/or
youth preference in the draw, youth must be 17
or younger at the time of application.

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth may hunt only the species that is on
their original license. "Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk (cows), as well as young males of
both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

PLAN AHEAD

4

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license (see
"Purchasing and Converting Licenses" to the right) — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle
hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure, except
for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 18, and there
must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.
To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 18 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.

FOLLOW THE RULES

ALL hunt codes available in the secondary draw.

When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the
rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle
season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

�YOUTH HUNTS

DEER EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and deer licenses
may not be used to participate in the
program. Limited either-sex elk licenses
must be converted to antlerless licenses at
a CPW office, and are only valid to hunt
and take antlerless elk after doing so.

FOR EXAMPLE: (see elk map at bottom left)
■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during
archery season and takes the tag to a
CPW office to convert it to antlerless.
■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online at
cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting.

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADDON OVER-THE-COUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses
are available in unlimited numbers this year as
“add-on” licenses only: You can add on one of
these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for
the same method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables
for deer (pages 22–25) and elk (pages 41–43) for the
available add-on OTC bear license hunts. Note that for
some unit groupings, not every unit is valid for adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the tables carefully! Also see page 66 of “Bear.”
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the
full list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit
and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

You can gain a preference point as
a first choice on your primary draw
application to use another year. You can
use your second through fourth choices
on the same application to apply for a
license. You may only submit one application per species, per draw, per year.
NEW Note that the secondary draw

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?

Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

Hunters must be certain of their target to avoid
killing a mule deer with a whitetail-only license.
However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of this
brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager in the
area. See the “Accidental Kill” section on page 13
for more details.

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males
▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!

Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are available in unlimited numbers this year as "add-on" licenses only: You can add on
one of these bear licenses if you have a deer or elk license for the
same method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer
(pages 22–25) and elk (pages 41–43) for the available add-on OTC bear
license hunts. Note that for some unit groupings, not every unit is valid
for adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit information in the
tables carefully! Also see page 66 of the “Bear" section.
Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and hunt code to help find your ideal hunt.

TABLE SYMBOLS

PREFERENCE POINTS

TAXIDERMY

▶ A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column is for hunt codes for which
an average of a least six preference points are needed for
a Colorado resident to draw that license. This is only an
average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second
through fourth choices on the same application to apply for a license. You may only
submit one application per species, per draw,
per year. NEW Note that the secondary draw
does not gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose,
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat, no longer have a preference point
fee. The application fee, $10.13 Habitat Stamp
and qualifying license are nonrefundable. See
“Preference Points” on page 9.

If you leave the head of your harvest
with its antlers at a taxidermist, you are
encouraged to get a receipt from the
taxidermist — with date delivered and a
description of the antlers — before you
take the carcass home or to a commercial
processor.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 11.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long. See "Antler Point Restrictions" on page 36.
▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no antlers. "Antlerless" can also mean a young male with antlers less than
5 inches.
▶ EITHER SEX: A legal bull or cow.

HANDLING ANTLERS IN CAMP
Head or skull plate, with both antlers
naturally attached, must accompany the
carcass of bulls in camp or in transit,
even when the scrotum or testicles are
used as evidence of sex.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY: LEAVE NO TRACE
Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous to others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws, and encourages
hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic. This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership with the Leave No Trace
Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information visit: www.LNT.org

LIST A, B &amp; C: GET MORE THAN ONE PRONGHORN LICENSE
All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables.
The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license, or two List
B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license and one List B
license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See below for your options of getting more than one pronghorn license!

ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR. Additional
licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.

To apply for a point, enter A-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your
primary draw application to use another year. You can use
your second through fourth choices on the same application
to apply for a license. You may only submit one application
per species, per draw, per year. NEW Note that the secondary
draw does not gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep and mountain goat, no longer have a preference point fee. The application fee, $10.13 Habitat Stamp and
qualifying license are nonrefundable. See “Preference Points”

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game
meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make humans sick. Hunters
are encouraged to contact their local public health department or CPW office for information on wildlife diseases
where they plan to hunt. Public health officials recommend
the following precautions when handling and preparing
game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found
dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW
office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol
wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use.
Use hot soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent
chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices
from adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must
complete and return a harvest questionnaire provided by CPW within
30 days after their hunting season
ends. Anyone who does not complete
and return it, including those who
were unsuccessful or did not hunt,
will not be eligible for a future moose
license or point.

2. ALL MOOSE MUST BE SUBMITTED IN PERSON FOR INSPECTION within five working

days of harvest. Hunters must submit the
head and lower jaw of antlerless moose
or the head and lower jaw of antlered

moose with antlers attached to a CPW
office during normal business hours. A
mandatory report will be completed during inspection.

3. TOOTH EXTRACTION IS MANDATORY. An

incisor will be removed from the lower
jaw and retained to determine age.Heads
must be unfrozen for inspection.

4. VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING. During

inspection, hunters may choose to have
their moose tested for chronic wasting
disease. Testing cost is $25.

�MOOSE

PREFERENCE POINT FEE &amp; WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS

▶ To apply for a preference point only, enter M-P999-99-P as your first-choice hunt code on your
application. You can gain a preference point as a
first choice on your primary draw application to
use another year. You can use your second choice
on the same application to apply for a license.
▶ Moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat have a preference and weighted
preference point fee. If you apply for a preference point hunt code as your first choice or
are unsuccessful in drawing your first choice
hunt, you’ll be charged a $50 resident or $100
nonresident preference point fee. The fee is
waived for youth, resident lifetime license holders
and residents who are in the military on active
duty outside Colorado.
▶ You’ll have the option to OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out your draw
application(s), and therefore will not be charged
the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or
weighted point for 2020. This includes if you

apply for a preference point hunt code as your
first choice.
▶ If you apply for a point only, your credit card on
file will be charged after the draw. The application fee, $10.13 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. If your card can’t be
charged, you will get an email notification. If
you don’t pay by the payment deadline (JUNE 19),
you will forfeit your preference point for 2020.
For more, see “Preference Points” on page 9.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS:
1. There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
2. Weighted preference increases your probability
of drawing and applies to both male and female
licenses.

3. Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
will receive weighted preference.
4. Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different,
random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
5. This generates a new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each
hunt code are awarded licenses.
NOTE: The preference point fee for moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat applies to preference points AND weighted preference
points. For more details, go to: cpw.state.co.us/

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW LOOK FOR THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL TO GET AN ADD-ON OVERTHE-COUNTER ARCHERY OR MUZZLELOADER BEAR LICENSE!
Some archery and muzzleloader bear licenses are
available in unlimited numbers this year as “addon” licenses only: You can add on one of these bear
licenses if you have a deer or elk license for the
same method of take and at least one unit overlaps.
Check the archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer
(pages 22–25) and elk (pages 41–43) for the available add-on OTC
bear license hunts. Note that for some unit groupings, not every
unit is valid for adding on an OTC bear license. Check the unit
information in the tables carefully! Also see page 66 of this section.

Go to cpw.state.co.us/bearhunts and check out the full list
of every available bear hunt broken out by unit and hunt code
to help find your ideal hunt.

▶ NEW LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE FOR ARCHERY &amp;
MUZZLELOADER SEASONS: In addition to rifle seasons, limited

licenses are now available for archery and muzzleloader seasons
too. See the hunt code tables on pages 63–64.

▶ NEW YOUTH BEAR LICENSES NOW AVAILABLE: Resident youth

bear licenses are $14, and nonresident youth bear licenses are
$50. These licenses will require the $1.50 Wildlife Education
Fund fee. See license fee table on page 5.

▶ NEW RESIDENT BEAR LICENSE FEE REDUCED: Resident bear

licenses will be $38 instead of $48 this year. Nonresident bear
licenses are $100. These licenses will require the $1.50 Wildlife
Education Fund and $0.25 search-and-rescue fees. See license
fee table on page 5.

▶ NEW ALL BEAR LICENSES FOR GMUs 71, 72, 73, 74, 711 &amp; 741
THAT WERE LIST A ARE NOW LIST B: This means hunters can get

more than one bear license in these GMUs. Also, all privateland-only bear licenses in these same GMUs are now List C,
meaning hunters can get any number of licenses. See the “List
A, B &amp; C” table at right for options.

▶ CARCASS TAGS: See page 16 for detailed instructions on when
to detach your tag and how to transport your harvest.

▶ INSIDE DENS: Hunting, harvesting or harassing bears inside
their dens is prohibited.

2020 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: BEAR

All big-game hunting licenses are either List A, B or C, as indicated in the last column of the hunt code tables.
The List types exist so that you know if you can get more than one license for the same species:
◆ List A: You can only get ONE List A license = A
◆ List B: If a hunt is List B, you can get up to TWO licenses: one List A license and one List B license, or two
List B licenses = A+B or B+B
◆ List C: If a hunt is List C, you can get ANY number of List C licenses, as well as one List A license and one List B
license, or two List B licenses = A+B+C+C+C, etc. or B+B+C+C+C, etc.
See below for your options of getting more than one bear license!
ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application for EACH SPECIES, PER DRAW, PER YEAR. Additional
licenses for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.

HOW TO GET THEM:
▶ LIST A &amp; B: You may purchase ONE through the primary or secondary draw, or ONE or BOTH as leftover or
OTC licenses at sales agents, CPW locations or online while supplies last.
▶ LIST C: These are issued by CPW locations when available.
▶ OVER-THE-COUNTER: Sold at sales agents, CPW locations and online for rifle, archery and muzzleloader
seasons. After the season opens, these are only sold at CPW locations. OTC archery and muzzleloader bear
licenses are add-on only licenses: See page 66 and below for details.

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR HUNTING BEAR!
There are multiple ways to get a license and hunt bear in Colorado for 2020; it just
depends on what you’d like to do! For example:
Hunter A: Hunter A only likes to hunt bear, so hunter A would need to:
1. Apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license from the hunt code
tables on pages 63–65. And/or:
2. Buy an over-the-counter rifle bear license when OTC licenses go on sale Aug. 6 at
9 a.m. (hunt code tables on page 67).
Hunter B: Hunter B is planning to draw a deer or elk license, so hunter B has two options:
1. Also apply for a limited archery, muzzleloader or rifle bear license.
2. Wait to see if they are awarded an archery or muzzleloader deer or elk license, and
then add on an over-the-counter bear license of the same method of take that
matches at least one of the same units when OTC licenses go on sale.
Hunter C: Hunter C does not participate in the draw, but purchases an over-the-counter deer
and/or elk license every year. Hunter C will wait until over-the-counter licenses
go on sale, purchase an OTC archery deer or elk license, and then add on an OTC bear
license of the same method of take that matches at least one of the same units.

PREFERENCE POINTS

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTION &amp; SEALS

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your first-choice hunt
code on your primary draw application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your
primary draw application to use another year. You can use your
second through fourth choices on the same application to apply
for a license. You may only submit one application per species,
per draw, per year. NEW Note that the secondary draw does not
gain or use preference points.
All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat, no longer have a preference point
fee. The application fee, $10.13 Habitat Stamp and qualifying
license are nonrefundable. See “Preference Points” on page 9.

Hunters must personally present bears to
a CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after harvest.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, CPW may keep
them long enough to thaw so that a tooth
can be removed. Hunters can help by mak-

ing sure the jaw is propped open with a
stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed. Having a bear hide without a seal
after the five-day period is illegal, and the
hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES
documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 303-342-7430. Do not
call the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service about
inspections or seals for bears.

�BEAR

ADD-ON ONLY OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
NEW Hunting bear during archery and muzzleloader deer and elk seasons:
▶ WHEN YOU SEE THE BEAR PAW SYMBOL: You can purchase an addon over-the-counter archery or muzzleloader bear license
ONLY if you have a deer or elk license for the same method
of take:
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during archery season before you can purchase an over-the-counter
archery bear license.
■ You must have any deer or elk license that is valid during muzzleloader
season before you can purchase an over-the-counter muzzleloader bear
license.
■ At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match
one unit listed on your bear license.

▶ CHECK THE DEER &amp; ELK HUNT CODE TABLES: Look for the bear paw symbol in the
archery and muzzleloader hunt code tables for deer (pages 22–25) and elk
(pages 41–43) to find hunts with add-on archery and muzzleloader bear
licenses available.
▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear any time during the dates specified in
the archery and muzzleloader tables below, with the correct method of take.
▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any of the unit(s) listed in the
table for which your bear license is valid. If your deer or elk license is for
private land only, you must use your bear license on private land only.

NEW OVER-THE-COUNTER RIFLE LICENSES: OTC rifle bear licenses are NOT add-on only
licenses, meaning you don’t have to have an elk or deer license in order to purchase one
of these bear licenses. See the next page for more information on over-the-counter licenses.

ARCHERY — ADD-ON OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES
SEASON DATES: Sept. 2–30 — SEX: Either — You must hold an archery deer or elk license to purchase one of these licenses. — Do not apply in the draw for these hunts.

�WHAT'S NEW

WHAT’S NEW: 2019 REGULATION CHANGES &amp; NEW INFORMATION
▶ FUTURE GENERATIONS ACT PASSED THE 2018 STATE LEGISLATURE: Thank you

to all of the hunters and anglers who helped support the Future Generations
Act and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. This act is a huge step for funding
wildlife conservation. You'll see some changes for 2019, including a small
fee increase for resident licenses and the Wildlife Education Fund. See table
below and find the full 2018/2019 fee comparison chart online: cpw.state.co.us/
feechanges

▶ APPLICATION FEE INCREASE: The application processing fee will be $7 for

residents and $9 for nonresidents in 2019. The fees are based on the cost of
processing in-state and out-of-state applications.

▶ THE APPLICATION AND CORRECTION DEADLINE HAS CHANGED: Draw applications and any corrections to the applications must be submitted by
8 P.M. MT on APRIL 2 instead of midnight.

▶ ALL APPLICANTS, INCLUDING YOUTH, MUST PURCHASE A QUALIFYING LICENSE
TO APPLY FOR THE BIG GAME DRAW: Qualifying licenses are spring turkey,

annual small game, annual resident combination small game/fishing and
veteran's lifetime resident combination small game/fishing. Licenses must
be valid for the current license year, April 1, 2019–March 31, 2020.
All qualifying licenses can be purchased starting March 1. Applicants must purchase
a qualifying license even if applying for a preference point as a first-choice
option. Online draw applications will not be accessible until you purchase your
qualifying license. Go online for more details: cpw.state.co.us/feechanges

▶ MOOSE, ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP AND MOUNTAIN GOAT NOW HAVE
A PREFERENCE AND WEIGHTED POINT FEE: Draw applicants who are unsuc-

cessful in drawing their first choice hunt, or who apply for a preference point
hunt code as their first choice, will be charged a $50 resident or $100 nonresident preference point fee for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, mountain
goat and moose. The fee is waived for youth, resident lifetime license holders
and residents who are in the military on active duty outside Colorado.
Applicants will have the option to OPT IN or OPT OUT of paying the
preference point fee while filling out their draw application(s). If they OPT
OUT , they will not be charged the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or
weighted point for 2019. This includes applicants who apply for a preference
point hunt code as their first choice. All other big-game species no longer
have a preference point fee. See pages 3 and page 18 for more details on
preference points.

▶ PENALTIES FOR MISSING THE PAYMENT DEADLINE: If you're successful in the
draw but don't pay for your license by the payment deadline, your license
will be surrendered, and you will lose both the license and any preference
points you used to draw it. THE PAYMENT DEADLINE IS FINAL: June 21.

formation is up to date, as well as your phone number, mailing address, email
address and other contact information. Be sure to check your information after
the draw, too, for draw results, preference point levels and payments.

▶ HUNTERS WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE DRAW NOW HAVE THE OPTION TO
REVERSE THEIR LICENSE INSTEAD OF RETURN IT: If you successfully get a license

through the draw and your hunting plans change, you can now call CPW at
303-297-1192 to reverse your license instead of return it. You won't have to
submit the refund paperwork or pay the $15 refund fee if you call by
5 P.M. MT on JUNE 14 to request a reversal. After this deadline, the refund process
will be the same as usual. See page 16 for reversal and refund process details.

▶ MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING IN SELECT GMUs:

In 2019, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples
(heads) from all deer harvested during any of the rifle seasons from select
GMUs. Hunters that harvest a deer in the specified hunt codes (all of the
plains GMUs and some GMUs west of I-25) will be required to submit their
deer head to a CPW submission site for testing. There will be no charge for
mandatory testing.
All deer harvested with a Season Choice license are also included in
mandatory testing, regardless of the season the deer was harvested. Get
more information about where and how to submit a CWD sample at cpw.
state.co.us/cwd. Also see page 12 of this brochure for more about CWD.

▶ VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING FEE WAIVED FOR SELECT GMUs: In 2019, testing

fees for voluntary submissions will be waived for all deer harvested (e.g. for
archery, muzzleloader seasons) within the same GMUs that are selected for
mandatory testing. All other GMUs will have a voluntary testing fee of $25.
See page 20 for a list of the mandatory GMUs.

▶ BOUNDARY CHANGES TO UNITS 3, 56, 57, 58, 86, 301, 581 &amp; 691: GMUs 56, 57,
58, 86, 581 and 691 now use the Arkansas River as a boundary, rather than
Hwy. 50. Moffat CR 158 is no longer open for public travel and has been
removed from describing GMU 3 and 301 boundaries. See pages 61–64 for
detailed boundary descriptions.

▶ NO PREFERENCE POINT RESTRICTION FOR PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES: Starting in 2019, private-land-only hunts available for youth
outreach licenses will no longer require 6 or more preference points to hunt.

▶ RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE CHANGES: Check the hunt tables carefully for

multiple changes to RFW properties, hunt codes and dates. Deer: page 20;
Elk: page 37; Pronghorn: page 50; Moose: page 53; Bear: page 56.

▶ CARCASS TAG INFORMATION: See page 15 for important information on signing your license and signing/detaching your carcass tag.

remaining for nonresidents after resident licenses are
drawn.)

more points for a Colorado resident to draw, up
to 20 percent may go to nonresidents. These hunts
are designated in unit tables by a + under the SEX
column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points
for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer
license, up to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses
remain after all Colorado resident first choices
have been drawn for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-landonly and Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and nonresidents, all nonresidents in the
group will count against the nonresident allocation.

that are totally limited for all rifle licenses) are
allocated to deeded landowners who own at
least 160 contiguous acres of private agricultural
land. (Further qualifications apply: cpw.state.
co.us/bg/landowner)
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
▶ GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the quota of
public licenses may be issued as a voucher
valid for a specific hunt code. An additional
10 percent of the public quota may be issued
as a private-land-only voucher.
▶ GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the quota of
public licenses may be issued as a voucher
valid for a specific hunt code. An additional
10 percent of the public quota may be issued
as a private-land-only voucher and may only
be transferred to a youth or an immediate
family member.
3. LPP applications are drawn just before CPW’s
public limited drawing. Successful landowners
receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
Landowners will be notified at the same time as
public applicants.

4. The deadline to register for 2019 has passed.
Registrations for 2020 may be submitted
through Dec. 1, 2019, at the web address listed
below right. Registrations are valid for up to five
years.

5. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you can

landowner voucher. List A, B or C is printed
on the voucher. See pages 15, 19, 33 and 48 for
details.

FOR HUNTERS:

6. The transfer of a voucher by a landowner
or designated land manager must include
permission to access and hunt all of the
registered land for which the voucher was
awarded, and for the entire season for which the
voucher was awarded, without discrimination
among hunters entering the land. Restrictions
are not allowed, except for manner of access (i.e.
foot, horseback, vehicle) reasonably necessary to
prevent damage to land.

1. The landowner or designated land manager
must transfer the voucher directly to the hunter.
A voucher that has been transferred by any
person who is not the landowner or designated
land manager is void. A voucher that is
brokered for another person is void. A hunting
license obtained for use with a void voucher is
also void. No person shall broker a voucher on
behalf of any landowner or person, or use or
possess any brokered voucher.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the
hunter’s name is written on the voucher, or the
landowner or designated land manager hands
(or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one
time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher
becomes VOID. The voucher CANNOT be reprinted
or transferred to another hunter, even if the
voucher has not been redeemed for a license.

7. The voucher must be taken to a sales agent or
CPW location in person to be redeemed for a
proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting. The
appropriate license fees are paid at that time.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth may hunt only the species
that is on their original license. "Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk (cows), as
well as young males of both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk
license (see "Purchasing and Converting Licenses" to the right) — whether it’s for archery,
muzzleloader or rifle hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons
listed in this brochure, except for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 8, and there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and
season they wish to hunt.

PLAN AHEAD

4

FOLLOW THE RULES

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they
will be able to continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 8 to
make sure you purchase the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt
during the extended season.

When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting
during the rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take
allowed in rifle season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to
hunt in the extended season, including any private-land-only designations and any unit
boundary restrictions.

!

YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE

1. A minimum of 15 percent of limited
licenses for doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex deer and antlerless elk for each GMU shall be available for youth ages 12–17 who meet
hunter education requirements.
These licenses are available by
drawing for all seasons and methods
of take — including early and late
rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn
by youth are available to the public.
(The Air Force Academy unit and
Ranching for Wildlife hunts are
excluded from this.)
2. Youth hunt codes in GMUs 55, 66,
67 and 551 have been replaced with
a youth preference set at 50 percent
for all antlerless deer licenses in
those GMUs.
3. Group applications are not accepted.

code on their application, all hunt
codes must qualify for youth preference.

�YOUTH HUNT

DEER EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

WHERE TO HUNT DEER &amp; ELK
▶ Youth may hunt in any area on the map
within the red boundary that also contains the unit for which they purchased
their original license. (Units with lines
through them and blank, white areas are
not open to extended-season hunting.)
▶ Youth may only hunt the extended season when an open antlerless rifle hunt is
going on in the unit they choose to hunt.
▶ Unfilled antlered elk and deer licenses
may not be used to participate in the
program. Limited either-sex elk licenses
must be converted to antlerless licenses at
a CPW office, and are only valid to hunt
and take antlerless elk after doing so.
FOR EXAMPLE:
■ An original license is purchased in the
draw for a youth to hunt either-sex elk
in unit 49 during archery season.
■ The youth does not harvest during
archery season and takes the tag to a
CPW office to convert it to antlerless.

ELK EXTENDED SEASON: YOUTH

■ The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this brochure for
units 49, 57 or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in the unit
the youth wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online at
cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting.

elk rifle table from page 43 of this brochure

■ If the youth wishes to continue hunting in unit 49, he or she may hunt Oct.
19–27, Nov. 2–10 or Nov. 13–17. He or
she may also hunt in units 57 or 58 from
Oct. 12–16, Oct. 19–27, Nov. 2–10, Nov.
13–17 or on private land only during
the late season Sept. 30–Jan. 31, 2020.
Why Sept. 30? The original archery
season (Aug. 31–Sept. 29) must be over
before the youth can begin hunting the
late rifle season.
■ During the extended season, the youth
may use any method of take allowed
during rifle season. See page 13.

HYBRID
DRAW
DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN
To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply.

▶ Youth with an unfilled either-sex pronghorn license must bring that license to a
CPW office to have it converted to a doe
license before hunting in a Dec. season.
Youth with doe licenses do not need to
convert those licenses, the original license
is valid for an extended hunt.

In hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (based on
a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), up to 20 percent of the available
licenses may be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the Hybrid Drawing.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid Drawing lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one
point.

MAKE A MISTAKE?

Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.

There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.
Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the
front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.

ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ELK

TRAITS

MOOSE

TRAITS

■ BODY: reddish, lighter
brown, darker legs
■ NECK: chestnut brown
■ SNOUT: slender
■ RUMP: pale yellow
■ BULLS: antlers aren't
palmated and have
obvious brow tines
coming off main beam

■ BODY: black or dark
brown with paler gray
legs and belly
■ NECK: large bell
(beard) on throat
■ SNOUT: overhanging,
bulbous nose
■ BULLS: palmated
antlers with tines

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

MULE DEER

TRAITS

WHITE-TAILED DEER

TRAITS

■ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip
■ ANTLERS: fork and then fork
again, usually very evenly, on
older males

GET THE LEAD OUT

SEE THE CDHPE PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT:

www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/lead-in-wild-game
From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as far into
the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder, contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with your commercial
processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

to collecting shed antlers or horns from May 1–Dec. 31 ONLY, except
in GMUs 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551, where collecting antlers or horns is
further restricted to between legal sunset and 10:00 a.m., May 1–May
15. Possession of antlers or horns on public lands west of I-25 from
Jan. 1–April 30, is prohibited.
▶ WEST OF I-25, PRIVATE LANDS: On private lands west of I-25, any person may, with lawful access, collect shed antlers or horns at any time.
▶ EAST OF I-25, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LANDS: On any lands east of I-25,
any person may, with lawful access, collect shed antlers or horns at
any time.
NOTE: Public land management agencies may have additional restrictions
on use of public lands and removal of shed antlers. Refer to land
manager restrictions prior to shed hunting.

RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW)

Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to Colorado
residents by drawing. Licenses are valid only for the season and ranch
specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters who draw a
public license for their ranch. By applying for a RFW license, hunters
allow CPW to provide applicant information to the ranch.
Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch rules on the CPW
website at cpw.state.co.us/rfw before applying.

GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS

Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340,
Denver, CO 80202; 303-894-7778; www.dora.state.co.us/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide
invaluable resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the above office or Colorado Outfitters Association
online at coloradooutfitters.org.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES

Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to
hunters ages 12–21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening disease or
injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between Aug. 15 and
Jan. 31 each year. Licenses are now offered in units with at least one
hunt code that requires 10 or more resident preference points to draw
(excluding Ranching for Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission
from the landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations
must request licenses in writing and document the life-threatening or
terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt
location and dates. Submit requests to CPW, Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call or email,
asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where
you hunted, if you harvested an animal, if you were satisfied with your
experience and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding — even if you didn’t hunt or harvest — is an
important part of setting future seasons and license numbers.
If contacted, you can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com,
or call the toll-free phone number 1-855-924-4278.
The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct. through mid-Feb. See the CPW

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

WHAT IS IT?

MANDATORY TESTING 2019

VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks the brains
of deer, elk and moose. It causes animals to become emaciated, display abnormal
behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show no signs of illness.
The map in the back of this brochure highlights game management units in red
where CWD has been detected (page 65). CWD has been found in several regions in
Colorado, as well as other states and provinces. For deer, infection rates tend to be
highest in prime-aged mature bucks.
In 2019, CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples (heads)
from all deer harvested during rifle seasons from select GMUs to better evaluate
the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge for mandatory testing.
Find the GMUs and hunt codes selected for mandatory testing on pages 20–29.
If a hunter is not selected for mandatory testing but wants to know whether
their harvested deer, elk or moose has CWD, they can submit their animal and
pay a testing fee of $25. Voluntary submissions are accepted annually statewide.
In 2019, testing fees for voluntary submissions will be waived for all deer harvested
within the same GMUs selected for mandatory testing (pages 20–29).

Disease in humans resulting from CWD exposure has
not been reported to date. However, public health officials cannot determine there is no risk from eating meat
from infected animals. Consequently, officials recommend that people avoid exposure to CWD-infected
animals. Please see the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment website (www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/priondiseases) for the most current recommendations on carcass testing
and other preventive measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential
concern, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public health
officials advise hunters not to shoot, handle or consume any deer, elk
or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be sick. When fielddressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw
to cut through the brain or spinal cord (backbone). Minimize contact
with brain or spinal cord tissues, eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always
wash hands and utensils thoroughly after dressing and processing
game meat.

HUNT SMART, STAY SAFE

HUNT SMART, STAY SAFE

MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location
of their harvest in the field. This is especially important for hunters
who harvest a bear or moose, as these species require mandatory
testing (see pages 52 and 56 for details).
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to give a
location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes reporting
simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint where you harvest an
animal, and save the UTM or longitude and latitude coordinates. Bring that
information to record on the check report form during harvest inspections.

HERD MANAGEMENT
YOUR INPUT WANTED!

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a Herd
Management Plan review process during which CPW updates management
objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population size and the
ratio of males to females. Management objectives influence decisions about
how many licenses of each type can be made available in any given year.
CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions about
how big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these important
opportunities to have your voice heard.

2019 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado on public
lands or traveling on an OHV-designated route must have
a valid Colorado OHV registration or a Colorado OHV
permit (except on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March
31. OHV Permits (applicable for nonresidents and street legal/plated vehicles)
are available online at cpw.state.co.us/bg/ohvpermit, at CPW locations
and authorized sales agents. Questions, call 303-791-1920. Renewal registrations are available online and at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and game retrieval specifications
and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

ACCIDENTAL KILL
Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present, firearms, ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED
Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept. of
Agriculture, 303-239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:
colorado.gov/pacific/agconservation/weedfreeforage

HUNTERS USING HORSES
If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact
a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30 days
before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia within
a year before coming to Colorado. Call the Colorado State Veterinarian’s
office, 303-869-9130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection before
transportation. Call the brand inspector, 303-869-9160.

�HUNTING LAWS

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK

If convicted of these felony violations, you can face a lifetime license suspension:

HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK

1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only
the hide, antlers or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide outfitting services without required registration.

IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:

4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor vehicle.
Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is removed from flashpan.
It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader
in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is unloaded or the battery is
disconnected and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear seasons unless they are unloaded in the chamber and magazine.
Firearms (except handguns) and bows carried on an OHV must be fully
enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with open ends or sides
are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or their agents who
carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on property they
own or lease.

Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR FLUORESCENT PINK material on an outer
garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or
moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange or pink hat or
head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting during a limited bear
season, hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose
license, or licensed for private land hunting through the Ranching for
Wildlife program do not have to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but
should consider wearing it to increase safety while in the field.
Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear orange or
pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are
open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange or pink that is visible from all directions on the outside
of the blind.

CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE OR PINK DOES NOT QUALIFY!
Mesh garments are legal but not
recommended. CPW strongly
recommends wearing daylight
fluorescent orange or fluorescent
pink clothes in the field, even if
you’re not hunting. Wearing orange or pink is for hunter safety,
as big-game animals don’t see
these colors like we do. Movement, sound and smell are what
give hunters away.

6. Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land
or waters. Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can
be erected on CPW land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season
during which they will be used. No nails can be driven into trees. Manmade materials for blinds or stands must be removed within 10 days after
the season they are used in ends. The owner’s Customer Identification
(CID) number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable
blinds or underside of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not
reserve them for personal use; they may be used on first-come, first-served
basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life or property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same
day or day after a flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted remote technology while
hunting or fishing. This includes unmanned or remote-control drones
used to look for wildlife. Hunters and anglers must be physically present
in the immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
13. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
14. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
15. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
16. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound
or may have wounded. It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from
landowner or person in charge.

14

20. Party hunt (i.e. kill someone else’s game or let someone kill yours).
21. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle;
throwing objects; making movements; harassing hunters by using threats
or actions; erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally
injecting yourself into the line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may
have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
22. For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law
or regulation.
23. Use dogs.
24. Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt,
minerals, grain, animal parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Salt or mineral blocks used for normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
25. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more cubs. A cub is a bear less
than a year old.
26. Hunt bears in their dens.
27. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting license or unless authorized by CPW.

17. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare edible wildlife meat for
human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and
backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible
meat.

28. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.

18. Hunt with rifles, handguns or shotguns firing a single slug, or archery
equipment within an area 50 feet on each side of the center line of any
state highway or municipal or county road, as designated by the county.

30. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control
lease, are private.

19. Discharge any firearm or release an arrow from, upon or across any public
road.

2019 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS

29. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner
or person in charge.

31. Use State Land Board properties not leased and signed by CPW without
permission of lessee.

�HUNTING LAWS

BAG LIMITS

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one application in the drawing per species, per license year.

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave evidence of sex
on the carcass.
2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:
A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle, scrotum
or penis attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached to
a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported
together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than
20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat, wrapped and
frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it can be
considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to prove
it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can detach
the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is
the total number of animals you can legally take of each species.
Big game taken in Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall under the previous year’s bag and
possession limit. When a license allows hunting in more than one
unit, the unit in the hunt code determines the maximum number of
licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can
hunt coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as
on your big-game license. Once you fill your big-game license, you
must buy a small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS
▶ You must attach a carcass tag to animals you harvest per instructions
on tag. Tags must be signed, dated and detached from the license
immediately upon harvest. See image below for where to sign.
▶ The carcass tag should be attached to the carcass (not to detached
hides, horns, antlers or carried separately) immediately prior to
and during transportation in any vehicle, or while in camp or at a
residence or other place of storage. Tags must stay on until meat is
processed and remain with meat until consumed.
▶ The carcass tag, when dated, signed and attached to the species
lawfully taken or killed and lawfully in possession, authorizes the
possession, use, storage, and transportation of the carcass, or any
part thereof.
▶ It is illegal to sign or tear
the tag before harvesting an
animal.
▶ Do not remove any parts of a
license except the carcass tag
after harvest. Doing so voids
the license and you must buy
a duplicate. The upper part
of the license must be kept
by whoever harvested the
animal.

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone else
made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and antlerpoint requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less) must accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or must
accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass tag or
donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must follow
federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.
5. Nonresident hunters should follow their home state regulations in place for transporting harvested deer, elk or moose back from a state known to have CWD.

DONATING GAME MEAT
Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates must
show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s
hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay
with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and recipient are subject to bag
and possession limits. NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species,
sex, season and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.

▶ If you lose, accidentally destroy
or detach the tag, you must
buy a duplicate from a CPW
office before hunting and
prove the loss, detachment or
destruction was accidental.
▶ If you have a nonresident
big game/fishing combo
license, the fishing license is
valid after the carcass tag is
detached, as long as the rest
of the license is intact.

2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.

1. Review all information on
your license and sign here as
soon as you receive it.
Carcass tag portion
of hunting license
2. Detach and sign the carcass tag
only AFTER harvesting your animal.
You must then attach the tag to the carcass.

TRANSPORTING GAME

Hunting license

3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES
HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited
license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species: D=deer; E=elk; A=pronghorn; M=moose;
B=bear
2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt: M=male;
F=female; E=either sex
3. THE THIRD PART (THREE NUMBERS) designates the unit you want to hunt: 001=Unit 1;
201=Unit 201; etc. If more than one unit is valid, only the lowest unit number will appear.
4. THE FOURTH PART (A LETTER AND A NUMBER) indicates hunt dates. For example: O1=first
season; O2=second season; O3=third season; etc. P is for private-land-only hunts, followed by the
season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1=early season; L1=late season; K2, K3=youth-only hunts.
There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife, and S for a split unit or season choice
license.

NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in the hunt units and the letter "O" in the season section look very similar!

5

For example, this hunt code is for:
A deer hunt, for either-sex, in unit 20,
during the first season for archery.

5. THE LAST LETTER in the hunt code indicates what manner of take the license is valid for:
A=archery; M=muzzleloader; R=rifle and associated methods

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES
HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE.

These are available through the draw or as leftover licenses.
(Some hunt tables on pages 58–59 in the bear section include hunt codes
for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.)
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes within that
table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use. Tables are color coded the
same throughout the brochure.

2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you will look next to locate the game management unit you
wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one unit
only, while others are valid in multiple units.
3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it is
private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as private land, you should
get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that license. Here’s
how to tell where you can hunt:
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will
read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your
hunt.
4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please
look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.
5. THE SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt
code. Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated
with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted. Please see
section above on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST column displays what type of license you are buying. There are opportunities
to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses meet the
requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see How to Get More Than One License sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure
pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application. You
may submit only one application per species, per year.

OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A SQUARE BULLET ( ■ ) in the UNIT column indicates there
is a special note about that unit, displayed below the hunt
code information (as shown with unit 12 above).
2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes for
which an average of at least six preference points are
needed for a resident to draw that license. This is only an
average and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
These calculations are based on a 3-year period ending with
the 2009 drawing.

�APPLICATIONS

HOW PREFERENCE &amp; WEIGHTED POINTS WORK

HOW TO APPLY AS A GROUP

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE
Specific preference-point hunt codes are listed
at the beginning of each species section in this
brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice on
your application automatically awards you a
point if you OPT IN to pay the preference point
fee. If you OPT OUT of paying the preference
point fee, you will not be charged the fee
and you will NOT be awarded a preference or
weighted point for 2019.
You can choose other hunt codes as your
second, third or fourth choices. Do not submit a
separate application for preference points,
or both applications will be disqualified.

1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications for any number of people are accepted for all
big-game species in this brochure except moose. Group applications entering the draw for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear licenses have priority based on
the group member with the FEWEST preference points. Group members must
apply for the same species, hunt code, unit, geographic restrictions, season and
method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex. All group
members must have the same hunt code choices on their applications (other
than sex). Each member must list the same first-choice hunt code and the same
second-, third- and/or fourth-choice hunt-codes. These choices MUST be in the
same order on all group applications. If anyone in the group makes an application error, such as providing false proof of residency, everyone in the group is
disqualified.

NEW If only applying for a point and
you opt in to purchase a preference or
weighted point, the credit card you
keep on file in your CPW account will be
charged $50 (resident) or $100 (nonresident) for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep and mountain goat. The application
fee, $10 Habitat Stamp fee (if applicable) and
qualifying licenses are nonrefundable.
Hunters will have the option to opt out of
purchasing a preference or weighted point
(and will not be charged the preference point
fee or acquire a preference point for these species) when filling out their draw application(s).

1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED to hunters who apply properly
and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice hunt code
for big-game species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference
point as your first-choice hunt code.
2. YOUTH can apply for a point if they turn 12 in 2019.
3. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all accumulated preference
points for that species become void and return to zero.
4. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a first-choice license. If an applicant fails to apply for a species or has not purchased a license for that
same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for that species become void.
5. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points, except when the license
quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded.
6. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the member with the fewest
points. See section at right.

2. CHOOSE A LEADER: One person must be the group leader. THE GROUP LEADER MUST
APPLY FIRST, by selecting "I am a group leader" on the application, prior to other
group members submitting their applications. If the leader has no CID, they
can create their profile online or call CPW to create one. If there are differences in the number or order of hunt codes on the applications, the leader’s
choices are used.
3. ENTER LEADER CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members must
select "I am hunting in a group," and enter the group leader's CID number in
the Group ID box to be entered as a group. All group members must use the
same person as the leader.
4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES: Groups are assigned a number. If that
number is selected in the draw, everyone in the group gets a license.
If the group is selected and there aren’t enough licenses for everyone, the
group will not get licenses. If the group includes resident and nonresident applicants and the nonresident cap has been met, the group will not get licenses.
Group applications are not accepted for the leftover draw. Group members
who choose the leftover draw will go through as individuals.

7. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-counter and leftover licenses
don’t use or generate points.

5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES: If everyone in the group is successful
for their first choice, they all get a license and their preference points drop to
zero. If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses and
notifications are sent to each individual.

PREFERENCE AND WEIGHTED POINT FEE. If you apply for a preference

point hunt code as your first choice or are unsuccessful in drawing
your first choice hunt, you’ll now be charged a $50 resident or $100
nonresident preference point fee. The fee is waived for youth, resident
lifetime license holders and residents who are in the military on active
duty outside Colorado.
You’ll have the option to OPT IN or OPT OUT of paying the preference
point fee while filling out your draw application(s). If you OPT OUT, you
will not be charged the fee and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted
point for 2019. This includes if you apply for a preference point hunt
code as your first choice.
The preference point fee no longer applies to deer, elk, pronghorn,
bear or desert bighorn sheep.
9. WEIGHTED PREFERENCE increases your probability of drawing a moose,
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep or mountain goat license. It is calculated by converting your application number into a random draw
number, then dividing that new number by the number of weighted
points you have, plus one. This generates your draw order number.
Applications are sorted by lowest draw order number to highest, with
the lowest numbers drawing first. You can have a maximum of three
points for each of these species. If you have three and you fail to draw
a first-choice license, you receive weighted preference for these species,
NEW for which you must pay the preference point fee.

WHAT LICENSE DID YOU DRAW?
Can’t wait to see what license you get in the mail? All big-game licenses will be
mailed JUNE 15–30, but if you’d rather not wait to find out what you drew, you
can find out through your online account:

▶ GO ONLINE. Log in to your account during the week of June 3–7: Go to cpw.
state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."

▶ VIEW YOUR DRAW RESULTS. You will be able to see your draw results for the last

several years, information on the species you’ve applied for, if you were successful or not, the license you'll be mailed and your preference point levels.

NOTE: If you like surprises and prefer to wait until you receive your license in the

mail, make sure you open it immediately and verify that all information is
correct and that you are familiar with all of the restrictions related to the
species and unit(s) you will be hunting.
Be sure to then sign your license if everything is correct; see page 15 for
information on licenses and carcass tags.

10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be listed in your CPW account: Go to cpw.state.co.us and click "Buy and Apply."
11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt codes, sex, unit(s), season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim Colorado as their home of residence and are deployed outside the U.S. are
eligible, when they return home, to apply for preference points for any
limited license drawings they missed while deployed. Applications
will be available at the end of July.

No OTC licenses available

Whitetails are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and brown
from top to bottom with a white fringe. Mule
deer have a white rump patch and tail, with a
black tip on the tail.
See chart at right for further comparison.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?

Antlers differ between the species, but are not
a reliable distinguishing characteristic between
white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?

Hunters must be certain of their target to avoid
killing a mule deer with a whitetail-only license.
However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of this
brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager in the
area. See the “Accidental Kill” section on page 12
for more details.

2019 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: DEER

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe,
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation.

▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males
▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide, in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers

a license. Submit only one application per
species, per year.
NEW All big game species, except for
moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and

Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous to others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws,
and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.

prong or point between the base and tip.
Bucks have a black cheek patch.

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT
Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game meat
poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing or carrying
disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged
to contact their local public health department or CPW office for
information on wildlife diseases where they plan to hunt. Public
health officials recommend the following precautions when
handling and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found dead.
Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol wipes
after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately after use. Use hot
soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent chlorine
bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least
165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices from
adequately cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

MOOSE
ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER, RIFLE

DON’T FORGET: You can exchange your moose license for a different method of take within the same unit. Take
your tag to a CPW location before Sept. 7 to exchange it to hunt in a different season. The exchange fee still applies.

MOOSE SEASON DATES

▶ ARCHERY
▶ MUZZLELOADER
▶ RIFLE

SEPT. 7–29
SEPT. 14–22
OCT. 1–14

NEED TO KNOW
▶ NEW MOOSE, ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP AND MOUNTAIN GOAT NOW HAVE A PREFERENCE AND WEIGHTED POINT FEE:

Draw applicants who are unsuccessful in drawing their first
choice hunt, or who apply for a preference point hunt code
as their first choice, will be charged a $50 resident or $100
nonresident preference point fee for Rocky Mountain bighorn
sheep, mountain goat and moose. Youth do not have to pay the
preference point fee.
Applicants will have the option to OPT IN or OPT OUT of
paying the preference point fee while filling out their draw
application(s). If they OPT OUT , they will not be charged the fee
and will NOT acquire a preference or weighted point for 2019.
This includes applicants who apply for a preference point
hunt code as their first choice. All other big-game species no
longer have a preference point fee. See pages 3 and page 18
for more details on preference points.

▶ NEW NEW RESIDENT MOOSE HUNTS IN GMUs 53, 54 &amp; 63: The

new hunts are available for resident archery, muzzleloader and
rifle seasons for bull moose. See pages 54–55.

▶ UNITS 1, 20, 38, 44, 45, 53, 54, 55, 63, 65, 68, 74, 75, 79, 201, 551 &amp; 681
have low-density moose populations, and currently there
is very little harvest history for these hunts. Some moose
habitat occurs on private land, so be sure to get landowner
permission before hunting.

▶ THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered moose is one. All licenses

available by draw. If you’ve harvested a bull, you may not apply
for an antlered or either-sex license.

DEFINITIONS
▶ SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE. See page 10.
▶ BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5
inches long.

▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female with no antlers. “Antlerless” also
means a young male with antlers less than 5 inches long.

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS

!

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must complete and return
a harvest questionnaire provided by CPW within 30 days
after their hunting season ends. Anyone who does not
complete and return it, including those who were unsuccessful or did not hunt, will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point.

2. ALL MOOSE MUST BE SUBMITTED IN PERSON FOR INSPECTION

within five working days of harvest. A mandatory report will
be completed during inspection. Hunters must submit the
head of antlerless moose or head of antlered moose with antlers attached to a CPW office during normal business hours.
3. TOOTH EXTRACTION IS MANDATORY. An incisor will be
extracted and retained to determine age. Heads must be
unfrozen for inspection.
4. VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING. During inspection, hunters may
choose to have their moose tested for chronic wasting disease. Testing cost is $25.

Moose © Vic Schendel for CPW

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTION &amp; SEALS

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your first-choice
hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your application to use another year. You can use your second through
fourth choices on the same application to apply for a license.
Submit only one application per species, per year.
NEW All big game species, except for moose, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat, no longer have a
preference point fee. The application fee, $10 Habitat Stamp
and qualifying licenses are nonrefundable. For more, see “How
Preference Points Work” on page 18.

Hunters must personally present bears to
a CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, CPW is authorized to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the head
and hide are frozen, CPW may keep them
long enough to thaw so that a tooth can be
removed. Hunters can help by making sure

rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed. Having a bear hide without a seal
after the five-day period is illegal, and the
hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, 303-342-7430. Do not call the U.S
Fish and Wildlife Service about inspections
or seals for bears.

OVER-THE-COUNTER WITH CAPS
ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER, RIFLE LICENSES

WHAT ARE OVER-THE-COUNTER WITH CAPS LICENSES? HOW DO YOU GET ONE?
Archery, muzzleloading and some rifle bear licenses are sold over the counter
with a cap on the number of licenses available. These are either-sex licenses.
These licenses are NOT available through the draw. If you apply for these
hunt codes in the draw, your application will be disqualified. NOTE: To participate in the over-the-counter with caps concurrent rifle bear season (see page
59), a hunter must also hold any deer or elk license that overlaps with that
rifle bear tag by at least one day of the season. Additionally, at least ONE game
management unit on your deer or elk license must match ONE game manage-

ment unit listed on your bear license. These licenses can be purchased at sales
agents, by phone and online through OCT. 11. Then, they are only available at
CPW offices.
“With caps” means there are a preset number of these licenses available on
a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 A.M. AUG 8. Get them at CPW locations, sales agents, via telephone at 1-800-244-5613 or online at cpw.state.
co.us. The Parks and Wildlife Commission sets the number of “with cap”
licenses in May.

PLAN AHEAD: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET SET UP AND APPLY FOR THE DRAW
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) transitioned to a
new integrated licensing, pass and reservation system.
This upgraded system is now a one-stop shop for all
items that can be purchased from CPW, including
parks passes and hunting and fishing licenses.
DON’T TRY LOGGING INTO THE SYSTEM JUST YET! The
following pages will help you learn how to set up
your account, as a new or existing CPW customer.
ALL CUSTOMERS will need to have a unique email and
password to create an online account. If you run into
any account issues at all, please call us 24/7 at 1-800244-5613.

NEW CPW CUSTOMERS: If you’ve

never purchased a license from
CPW or made a camping reservation through Reserve America before, you’ll need to set up a new profile, entering your contact and identification information the first time you use the system. Go to “Set Up
Your Account Now: New CPW Customers,” page 10.

ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT SET UP, YOU CAN:

COLORADO CAMPING CUSTOMERS

If you’ve made a camping reservation through Reserve
America, your username and password will work in
our system. Go to “Set Up Your Account Now: Existing CPW Customers,” page 2.

■ Keep your contact and payment information current.
■ View your applications and purchase history.
■ Check your preference points and draw results.
■ Update your draw applications until the application
deadline.

■ Get a park pass.
■ Get a Colorado Outdoors subscription.

EXISTING HUNTERS &amp; ANGLERS

APPLY FOR THE DRAW

If you’ve purchased a hunting or fishing license from

a username or password. You’ll need to look up your
existing CPW record with your Customer Identification number (CID) — printed on a previous license —
birthdate and a unique identifier (e.g. a driver’s license
or passport).
Please find your existing account, so your preference point(s)
and draw history will transfer into the new system. DON’T
CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT.
If you can’t find your previous CID or have any account issues, please call 1-800-244-5613. Go to “Set Up
Your Account Now: Existing CPW Customers,” page 2.

Paper applications for the draw are no longer accepted; all applications must be completed online or by
phone. Customers are strongly encouraged to create

impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically
impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with license fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.
Applications accepted from the Monday after the Parks and Wildlife
Commission meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses
are first-come, first-served until unit and program caps are reached.

DRAW:
CPW.STATE.CO.US/CPWSHOP

PREFERENCE POINT FEES
▶ HOW IT WORKS. If you do not hold an active 2017 annual* or biggame license, or do not receive a license through the draw for the
species, you will be charged $40 PER SPECIES (for deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear), for which you get a preference point. This fee applies to
residents and nonresidents, except for resident deer or pronghorn:
Residents getting deer or pronghorn preference points will be
charged only $30 for each of those. For example: If a nonresident
(who isn’t exempt from the fee) receives a point for all four species,
they will be charged $160. A resident would be charged $140.
▶ HOW TO AVOID IT. If you don’t want to pay the fee, you have until
March 31, 2018, to purchase a 2017 annual fishing, annual small
game, annual resident combination fishing and small game, or
resident senior fishing license. Customers are also exempt if they

held any big game license the previous year, or draw a license of the
same species as which they would be charged the point in the current year.
* ANNUAL LICENSES INCLUDE: annual fishing, annual small game, annual
resident combination fishing and small game, or resident senior fishing
license. Any returned, refunded or surrendered licenses do not qualify.
NEW ▶ HOW WILL I BE CHARGED FOR IT? If you are required to pay the
preference point fee, it will be charged to the credit card you
have on file in your CPW account (see page 16) after the draw.
For example, if you're a resident who is not exempt from the fee
and apply for a deer license or preference point and do not draw,
you will be charged the $30 preference point fee after the draw.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
Requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must live in Colorado at least 6 consecutive months immediately
before applying for or buying a license, AND you must intend to make
Colorado home (except No. 3 and No. 4 below). The residence address
you give to buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. A valid Colorado driver’s license or Colorado ID is proof of residency if
issued at least 6 months prior to buying or applying for a license. If your
ID or driver’s license was issued or renewed less than 6 months prior, you
must provide documentation that proves you have been a resident for
the required 6-month period. REMINDER: Colorado "blackline" licenses
marked "Not Valid for Federal Identification, Voting or Public Benefit" cannot be used to prove residency.
3. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active
duty in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents qualify.
This includes people who were Colorado residents when they entered the
military and keep Colorado as their home of record, and their dependents (unless they change their home of record to another state). Also

services of nations recognized by the U.S. assigned here on permanent
active duty orders and their dependents. Active duty military does not
include reserve status, National Guard or government contractors.
4. Full-time students qualify who are enrolled and attending a Colorado college, university or trade school at least 6 months immediately before applying for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily
absent from Colorado but still enrolled. Colorado residents who attend
school full time out of state and pay nonresident tuition still qualify for a
resident license.
5. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal
guardian or person with whom they live most of the time per court order.
6. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call 303-297-1192 to
make sure you comply with Colorado residency requirements before applying for or obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
7. Except as in No. 3 and No. 4 above, you lose your Colorado residency

driver’s license using an address in another state.

1. ID. Secure and verifiable ID. A Social Security number
is required for hunters ages 12 and older.

▶ Hunters must have a license to hunt. Sign it and carry the original with
you while hunting.
▶ A hunter may hunt only the animal, sex, season, units and method
of take authorized by the license. Complete season dates may not be
printed on the license because of space constraints. Check the details in
this brochure for your specific license.
▶ It is illegal to give false information to obtain a license. It also is illegal to
alter a license or to loan, transfer, sell or give your license to someone else.
▶ If you lose or destroy your license, a duplicate is available for half the
price of the original license, but not more than $25. You can get a
duplicate before the season opens from any authorized sales agent. After
the season begins, duplicate licenses are available only at CPW locations.
▶ Licenses expire on the expiration date printed on the license.
▶ Nonresidents can continue to use their combo fishing license after
harvesting a big-game animal, as long as the carcass tag is the only part
of the license that has been detached. The rest of the license must remain
intact.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY
S​ tate and Federal law require a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to ​Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued
to those suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current
licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is deemed noncompliant by ​Child Support Enforcement.

FELONY OFFENSES &amp; WEAPONS
Colorado and federal law prohibits people convicted of certain crimes, such
as domestic violence, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve
been convicted of a crime, check with the appropriate law enforcement
authorities to find out how these laws apply to you.

SPECIAL LICENSES

Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at CPW locations, on the website or call 303-297-1192.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS

impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with license fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

▶ Draw results posted online .............. June 4–8
NEW ▶ Payment deadline .................. June 20
▶ Licenses mailed starting .................. June 4

▶ AVAILABLE IN THE DRAW. APPLICATION &amp; CORRECTION DEADLINE IS APRIL 3
▶ LIMITED LICENSES

To get a limited license or preference points, hunters must apply for the draw by
April 3 — this is a process that awards licenses to hunters for specific units and dates.
These are distributed through an application and drawing process. They include
public-land hunts, private-land-only (PLO) licenses and Ranching for Wildlife
(RFW) licenses.
■ PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY (PLO) LICENSES
PLO licenses through the public draw are valid on private lands within GMUs
listed on the licenses, as well as State Trust Lands not leased by CPW, but which
have an active private recreational lease through the State Land Board (hunters
should ask the landowner if this applies). Permission from private landowners is
always needed before hunting with a private-land-only license. Please get permission before applying.
■ RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW) LICENSES
RFW licenses are available to all Colorado residents. Resident hunters may apply
to hunt a specific ranch. Each ranch has specific rules. See page 10 for more.
▶ LEFTOVER DRAW OPTION: DEER AND ELK APPLICATIONS ONLY

Deer and elk applicants unsuccessful in the primary draw can have the first chance
at the limited licenses that are remaining after the draw by selecting Leftover Draw
on the application where it states, “If unsuccessful, send me...”
■ HOW TO ENTER: Select Leftover Draw on your application where it states, “If unsuccessful, send me...” In June, you’ll be sent the leftover list through the email account you used to apply. Instructions on how to apply for the Leftover Draw will
be included with the hunt code list. Application deadline is July 3.
■ BENEFITS: Youth 12–17 receive priority in the Leftover Draw. By applying through
your online account for the Leftover Draw, you can skip waiting in line and secure
your license before they go on sale to the public on Leftover day, Aug. 7.

▶ AVAILABLE STARTING AUGUST 7
▶ LEFTOVER LIMITED LICENSES

Leftover licenses are the limited licenses remaining after the draw and leftover draw
processes. They go on sale in person at authorized sales agents (cpw.state.co.us/
License-Agents) and by phone at 1-800-244-5613, at 9 a.m. (MDT) on Aug. 7. They

▶ AVAILABLE STARTING AUGUST 9

A preset number of licenses are available on a first-come, first-served basis for both

online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613 or at CPW locations and authorized sales agents,
starting at 9 a.m. (MDT) Aug. 9.
▶ OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) UNLIMITED LICENSES

OTC licenses are unlimited in number and may be purchased any time until the day
before the hunting season begins. After the season starts, they are available at CPW
locations only — except for archery elk OTC licenses and plains elk OTC licenses,
which can be purchased at any authorized sales agent. These are available to both resident and nonresident hunters. They are sold online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613 or at

NONRESIDENT LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of preference points a Colorado resident
needed to draw a specific license during a 3-year period that ended with the 2009 drawing. (Units with
low numbers of available licenses may not have any
remaining for nonresidents after resident licenses are
drawn.)
1. For elk and deer hunt codes that required six or
more points for a Colorado resident to draw, up
to 20 percent may go to nonresidents. These hunts
are designated in unit tables by a + under the SEX
column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points
for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer
license, up to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses
remain after all Colorado resident first choices
have been drawn for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-landonly and Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and nonresidents, all nonresidents in the
group will count against the nonresident allocation.

that are totally limited for all rifle licenses) are
allocated to deeded landowners who own at
least 160 contiguous acres of private agricultural
land. (Further qualifications apply — see
website.)
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
▶ GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the quota
of public licenses may be issued as a voucher
valid for a specific hunt code. An additional 10
percent of the public quota may be issued as a
private-land-only voucher.
▶ GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the quota
of public licenses may be issued as a voucher
valid for a specific hunt code. An additional 10
percent of the public quota may be issued as
a private-land-only voucher, and may only be
transferred to a youth or an immediate family
member.
3. LPP applications are drawn just before CPW’s
public limited drawing. Successful landowners
receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
Landowners will be notified at the same time as
public applicants.

4. The deadline to register for 2018 has passed.
Registrations for 2019 may be submitted
through Dec. 1, 2018, at the web address listed
below right. Registrations are valid for up to five
(5) years.

FOR HUNTERS:
1. The landowner or designated land manager
must transfer the voucher directly to the hunter.
A voucher that has been transferred by any
person who is not the landowner or designated
land manager is void. A voucher that is
brokered for another person is void. A hunting
license obtained for use with a void voucher is
also void. No person shall broker a voucher on
behalf of any landowner or person, or use or
possess any brokered voucher.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the
hunter’s name is written on the voucher, or the
landowner or designated land manager hands
(or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one
time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher
becomes VOID. The voucher CANNOT be
reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even
if the voucher has not been redeemed for a
license.

5. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you can
legally have the license before acquiring a
landowner voucher. List A, B or C is printed
on the voucher. See pages 15, 19, 33 and 48 for
details.
6. The transfer of a voucher by a landowner
or designated land manager must include
permission to access and hunt all of the
registered land for which the voucher was
awarded, and for the entire season for which the
voucher was awarded, without discrimination
among hunters entering the land. Restrictions
are not allowed, except for manner of access (i.e.
foot, horseback, vehicle) reasonably necessary to
prevent damage to land.
7. The voucher must be taken to an authorized
sales agent or CPW location to be redeemed for
a proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting. The
appropriate license fees are paid at that time.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from
Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

YOUTH DEER &amp; ELK HUNTS IN 2018

2

CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES
Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth may hunt only the same
species that is on their original license. "Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk
(cows), as well as young males of both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT
If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk
license (see Purchasing and Converting Licenses to the right) — whether it’s for archery,
muzzleloader or rifle hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons
listed in this brochure, except for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 7, and there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and
season they wish to hunt.

3

PLAN AHEAD

4

FOLLOW THE RULES

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they
will be able to continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 7 to
make sure you purchase the original deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt
during the extended season.

When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting
during the rifle season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take
allowed in rifle season. Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to
hunt in the extended season, including any private-land-only designations and any unit
boundary restrictions.

HYBRID
DRAW
DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN
To expand quality opportunities to biggame hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid”
drawing for select elk, deer, pronghorn
and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to draw
a license for some of the state’s premier
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear hunting
areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to draw
these licenses now have a slight chance
to draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units with
low numbers of available licenses may
not have any remaining for the Hybrid
Drawing.)

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS
Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the Hybrid Draw must meet the
following criteria and choose from the
hunt codes listed at right as their first
choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of
five preference points for the species
they wish to hunt to participate in
the Hybrid Drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually;
group applications are not accepted.
3. Hunt codes that contain a W are
Ranching for Wildlife properties.
These hunts are for Colorado residents only.

HOW IT WORKS

8

In hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (based
on a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), up to 20 percent of the available licenses may be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt codes
(listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species will automatically enter the Hybrid Drawing.
▶ These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
▶ Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
▶ Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid Drawing lose all
of their preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be
awarded one point.

BIG GAME SPECIES IDENTIFICATION

1

ID FIRST, TRIGGER FINGER SECOND.

2

STUDY THE BODY.

Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your
binoculars, not your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your
finger on the trigger.
There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s
antlers, study the entire head and body of an animal before you shoot. This will
help distinguish elk from moose, and mule deer from whitetails.

3

WATCH FOR BABIES.

4

MAKE A MISTAKE?

When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk.
Young moose have a reddish coat, similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear
that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic.
Call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the
front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.

ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

TRAITS

TRAITS

▶ BODY: black or dark
brown with paler gray

▶ NECK: chestnut brown
▶ SNOUT: slender
▶ RUMP: pale yellow
▶ BULLS: antlers aren't

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since both types of deer have the same
general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

HUNT PROGRAMS

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to one-half
hour after sunset, unless specifically restricted.
The sunrise/sunset chart below lists times for Denver. Subtract 1 minute from
opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles east of Denver. Add 1 minute to
opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles west of Denver.
(These changes assume that each degree of longitude equals 50 miles and a
change of 1 degree of longitude equals a 4-minute change in sunrise and sunset
times.)

GET THE LEAD OUT

SEE THE CDHPE PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT:

www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/lead-in-wild-game
From the field to the table, ensuring your next harvest is safe for your family is important. Switching
from lead bullets may be an option that’s right for you. Science tells us that ingesting lead can cause
potential health problems over time. Risks are low for most people; however, you can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Choose a firearm with lower-velocity bullets, so the bullet fragments don’t scatter as far into
the wound. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet when you process an animal.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal. Lead is soft and can go through your grinder, contaminating an entire batch of ground meat. If you don’t grind the meat yourself, speak with your commercial
processor about their equipment cleaning process between animals.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

2018 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: GENERAL INFORMATION

▶ WEST OF I-25 — PUBLIC LANDS: The public lands west of I-25 are open to
collecting shed antlers or horns from May 1–Dec. 31 ONLY, except in
GMUs 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551, where collecting antlers or horns is further restricted to between legal sunset and 10:00 a.m., May 1–May 15.
Possession of antlers/horns on public lands west of I-25 from Jan.
1–April 30, is prohibited.
▶ WEST OF I-25 — PRIVATE LANDS: On private lands west of I-25, any person
may, with lawful access, collect shed antlers or horns at any time.
▶ EAST OF I-25 — PUBLIC &amp; PRIVATE LANDS: On any lands east of I-25, any
person may, with lawful access, collect shed antlers or horns at any
time.
NOTE: Public land management agencies may have additional restrictions
on use of public lands and removal of shed antlers. Refer to land
manager restrictions prior to shed hunting.

RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW)
Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to Colorado
residents by drawing. Licenses are valid only for the season and ranch
specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters who draw a
public license for their ranch. By applying for a RFW license, hunters
allow CPW to provide applicant information to the ranch.
Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch rules on the CPW
website at cpw.state.co.us/RFW before applying.

GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340,
Denver, CO 80202; 303-894-7778; www.dora.state.co.us/outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and can provide
invaluable resources for your hunting trip. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the above office or Colorado Outfitters Association
online at coloradooutfitters.org.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES
Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to
hunters ages 12–21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening disease or
injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between Aug. 15 and
Jan. 31 each year. NEW Licenses are now offered in units with at least
one hunt code that requires 10 or more resident preference points to
draw (excluding Ranching for Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission
from the landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations
must request licenses in writing and document the life-threatening or
terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt
location and dates. Submit requests to CPW, Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST
CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call or email,
asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where
you hunted, if you harvested an animal, if you were satisfied with your
experience and if you saw overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not
required, but responding — even if you didn’t hunt or harvest — is an
important part of setting future seasons and license numbers.
If contacted, you can take the survey online at colobgharvest.com,
or call the toll-free phone number 1-855-924-4278.
The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct. through mid-Feb. See the CPW
website for details: cpw.state.co.us

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD)

1

WHAT IS IT?

2

WHERE IS IT?

3

MANDATORY TESTING 2018

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological
disease that attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose. It
causes animals to become emaciated, display abnormal
behavior and eventually die. Infected animals often show
no signs of illness.

The map in the back of this brochure highlights game management units in red where CWD has been detected (page
65). CWD has been found in several regions in Colorado, as
well as other states and provinces. For deer, infection rates
tend to be highest in prime-aged mature bucks.

In 2018, CPW will require mandatory submission of
CWD test samples (heads) from all buck deer harvested
during rifle seasons from select GMUs, to better evaluate
the prevalence of CWD in herds. There will be no charge
for mandatory testing. Find the GMUs and hunt codes
selected for mandatory testing on pages 20–29 of this
brochure.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MESSAGE
Disease in humans resulting from CWD exposure has not been reported
to date. However, there may be a small risk from eating meat from infected
animals. Consequently, public health officials recommend that people
avoid exposure to CWD-infected animals. Please see the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website (www.colorado.gov/
pacific/cdphe/prion-diseases) for the most current recommendations
on carcass testing and other preventive measures.
To minimize exposure to CWD and other diseases of potential concern,
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and state public health officials advise
hunters not to shoot, handle or consume any deer, elk or moose that is acting abnormally or appears to be sick. When field-dressing game, wear rubber gloves and minimize the use of a bone saw to cut through the brain or
spinal cord (backbone). Minimize contact with brain or spinal cord tissues,
eyes, spleen or lymph nodes. Always wash hands and utensils thoroughly
after dressing and processing game meat.

CPW.STATE.CO.US/CWD

HUNT SMART, STAY SAFE
MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location of their harvest in the field. This is especially important
for hunters who harvest a bear or moose.
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to
give a location of their harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes
reporting simple and precise. Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal, and save the UTM or longitude
and latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the
check report form during harvest inspections.

All off-highway vehicles operated in Colorado
on public lands, or if traveling on an OHV-designated route, must have a valid Colorado OHV
registration or a Colorado OHV permit (except
on private property).
Registrations/permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31.
OHV Permits (applicable for nonresidents and street legal/plated
vehicles) are online at cpw.state.co.us/BG/OHVpermit, at
CPW locations and authorized sales agents. Questions, call
303-791-1920. Renewal registrations are available online and at
CPW locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in
person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their
current motor vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and
game retrieval specifications and hours. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you
witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public lands,
please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

HERD MANAGEMENT, TIPs

ACCIDENTAL KILL, HAY, EAR TAGS, HORSES

YOUR INPUT WANTED!

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Approximately every 10 years, each big-game population undergoes a
Herd Management Plan review process where CPW updates management objectives for that herd. These plans set objectives for population
size and the ratio for males to females. Management objectives influence decisions about how many licenses of each type can be set in any
given year.
CPW appreciates hearing from all interests to help guide decisions
about how big-game populations are managed. Please do not miss these
important opportunities to have your voice heard.
Herd Management Plans coincide with Game Management Units
(GMUs) and are published on the CPW website. When a Herd Management Plan is being updated, it is announced on CPW’s webpage. You
can also receive notices by signing up for CPW’s Insider Email List from
our webpage. Every plan update allows for public comment and review.

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

HERD MANAGEMENT PLAN INFORMATION:
cpw.state.co.us/HMP

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED
Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept. of
Agriculture, 303-239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:
colorado.gov/pacific/agconservation/weedfreeforage

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS
If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW, and return the radio collars.

HUNTERS USING HORSES

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM
TIPs awards licenses and preference points to eligible persons that
report the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big game
or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal take,
possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the
charging officer of your interest in a TIPs award. Go to cpw.state.
co.us/BG/TIPS for the criteria to qualify for a preference point or
license, or contact CPW for details at 303-297-1192.

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact
a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30 days
before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia within
a year before coming here. Call Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-8699130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection before transportation.
Call brand inspector, 303-869-9160.

�HUNTING LAWS

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
If convicted of these felony violations, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove
only the hide, antlers or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the
field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide outfitting services without required registration.

IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:
4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is removed from flashpan.
It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader
in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is unloaded or the battery is
disconnected and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons unless they are unloaded in the chamber and
magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and bows carried on an OHV
must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or
their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife
on property they own or lease.
6. Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land
or waters. Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can
be erected on CPW land, and no more than 30 days prior to the season
during which they will be used. No nails can be driven into trees. Manmade materials for blinds or stands must be removed within 10 days after
the season they are used in ends. The owner’s Customer Identification
(CID) number and dates of use must be visible on outside of portable
blinds or underside of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does not
reserve them for personal use; they may be used on first-come, firstserved basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life or property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same
day or day after a flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted remote technology while
hunting or fishing. This includes unmanned or remote-control drones
used to look for wildlife. Hunters and anglers must be physically present
in the immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
13. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
14. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
15. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
16. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound
or may have wounded. It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from
landowner or person in charge.
17. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare edible wildlife meat for
human consumption. At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and
backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not considered edible
meat.
18. Hunt with rifles, handguns or shotguns firing a single slug, or archery
equipment within an area 50 feet on each side of the center line of any
state highway or municipal or county road, as designated by the county.

2018 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: HUNTING LAWS

HUNTER ORANGE &amp; PINK
HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK

Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR FLUORESCENT PINK material on an
outer garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn,
bear or moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange or pink
hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery
hunters who hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting during a
limited bear season, hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, or licensed for private land hunting through
the Ranching for Wildlife program do not have to wear fluorescent
orange or pink, but should consider wearing it to increase safety
while in the field.
Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear orange or
pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons
are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind,
hunters should display orange or pink that is visible
from all directions on the outside of the blind.

CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE OR PINK DOES NOT QUALIFY!
Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly recommends
wearing daylight fluorescent orange or
fluorescent pink clothes in the field, even
if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange
or pink is for hunter safety, as big-game
animals don’t see these colors like we do.
Movement, sound and smell are what give
hunters away.

19. Discharge any firearm or release an arrow from, upon or across any public
road.
20. Party hunt (i.e. kill someone else’s game or let someone kill yours).
21. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle;
throwing objects; making movements; harassing hunters by using threats
or actions; erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas; intentionally
injecting yourself into the line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may
have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
22. For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law
or regulation.
23. Use dogs.
24. Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the bait. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt,
minerals, grain, animal parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Salt or mineral blocks used for normal agricultural purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
25. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more cubs. A cub is a bear less
than a year old.
26. Hunt bears in their dens.
27. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting license or unless authorized by CPW.
28. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
29. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner
or person in charge.
30. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control
lease, are private.
31. Use State Land Board properties not leased and signed by CPW without
permission of lessee.

�HUNTING LAWS

BAG LIMITS &amp; TAGGING

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one application in the drawing
per species, per license year.

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone
else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex and
antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less)
must accompany processed game meat.

2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
Jan. and Feb. seasons set as part of the previous license year’s seasons fall
under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt code determines
the maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that
species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except for auction,
raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during
big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on your biggame license. Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a smallgame or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does not
void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS
You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per instructions on tag.
Tags must be signed, dated and detached from the license immediately
upon kill. Tag should be attached to the carcass (not to detached hides,
horns, antlers or carried separately) immediately prior to and during transportation in any vehicle, or while in camp or at a residence or other place
of storage. Tags must stay on until meat is processed and remain with meat
until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill. Such tag,
when so dated, signed and attached to the species lawfully taken or killed
and lawfully in possession, authorizes the possession, use, storage, and
transportation of the carcass, or any part
thereof.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag, you must get a duplicate from a CPW office before hunting and prove the loss, detachment or
destruction was accidental. Do not remove other parts of a license except
the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the license and you must buy a
duplicate.
If you have a nonresident big game/fishing combo license, the fishing
license is valid after the carcass tag is detached, as long as the rest of the
license is intact.

EVIDENCE OF SEX
1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave
evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns, or
must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must
follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT
Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated; date of
kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form
required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and
recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.

NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season and
method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:

A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to carcass; or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.

B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis.

Thank you. Your hunting and ﬁshing
licenses pay to protect Colorado wildlife.

Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex needs to be attached
to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.

TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less than 5 inches long, it
can be considered “antlerless.” But what do you do about evidence of sex?
▶ Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to
prove it meets the requirement.
▶ Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass, and then you can
detach the head or skull plate and carry it out with the antlers intact.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES
HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.
Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited
license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species: D=deer; E=elk; A=pronghorn; M=moose;
B=bear
2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt:
M=male; F=female; E=either sex
3. THE THIRD PART (THREE NUMBERS) designates the unit you want to hunt: 001=Unit 1;
201=Unit 201; etc. If more than one unit is valid, only the lowest unit number will appear.
4. THE FOURTH PART (A LETTER AND A NUMBER) indicates hunt dates. For example: O1=first
season; O2=second season; O3=third season; etc. P is for private-land-only hunts, followed by
the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1=early season; L1=late season; K2, K3=youth-only
hunts. There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife, and S for a split unit or season
choice license.

NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in the hunt units and the letter O in the season section look very similar!
For example, this hunt code is for:
A deer hunt, for either-sex, in unit 20,
during the first season for archery.

5. THE LAST LETTER in the hunt code indicates what manner of take the license is valid for:
A=archery; M=muzzleloader; R=rifle and associated methods

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES
HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE.
These are available through the draw or as leftover licenses.
(Some hunt tables on pages 58–59 in the bear section include hunt codes
for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.)
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes within that
table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use. Tables are color coded the
same throughout the brochure.

2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you will look next to locate the game management unit you
wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one unit
only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
▶ If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
▶ If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will
read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your
hunt.
3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it is
private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as private land, you should get
permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that license.
4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please
look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.
5. THE SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt
code. Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.
6. THE HUNT CODE column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated
with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted. Please see
section above on how to read hunt codes.
7. THE LIST column displays what type of license you are buying. There are opportunities
to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses meet the
requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see How to Get More Than One License sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure
pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the application. You
may submit only one application per species, per year.

OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A SQUARE BULLET ( ■ ) in the UNIT column indicates
there is a special note about that unit, displayed
below the hunt code information (as shown with
unit 12 above).
2. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt codes
for which an average of at least six preference points
are needed for a resident to draw that license. This
is only an average and does not guarantee a license
will be drawn. These calculations are based on a
3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

HOW PREFERENCE POINTS WORK
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED to hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in
drawing a license for a first-choice hunt code
for big-game species in this brochure. You may
apply for a preference point as your first-choice
hunt code.
2. YOUTH can apply for a point if they turn 12 in
2018.
3. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE LICENSE, all
accumulated preference points for that species
become void and return to zero.
4. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a firstchoice license. If an applicant fails to apply for a
species or has not purchased a license for that
same species during any given 10-year period, all
accumulated preference points for that species
become void.
5. PRIORITY goes to those with the most points,
except when the license quota or nonresident cap
would be exceeded.
6. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on the
member with the fewest points. See section below.
7. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-counter
and leftover hunts don’t use or generate points.

8. $40 PREFERENCE POINT FEE. Hunters will be
automatically assessed $40 per species ($30 for
resident deer and pronghorn) for a preference
point unless they have purchased one of the following: an annual fishing, small-game, resident
combination small-game and fishing, furbearer
or a big-game license in the previous year, or a
current limited license in the draw for the same
species for which they seek a point.
The point fee is waived for youth, lifetime
license holders, free senior annual fishing license
holders and residents who are in the military on
active duty outside Colorado.
9. WEIGHTED PREFERENCE increases your probability of drawing a moose license. It is calculated
by converting your application number into a
random draw number, then dividing that new
number by the number of weighted points you
have, plus one. This generates your draw order
number. Applications are sorted by lowest draw
order number to highest, with the lowest numbers drawing first.
You can have a maximum of three points for
moose. If you have three and you fail to draw a
first-choice license, you receive weighted preference for moose.
10. CURRENT PREFERENCE POINT LEVELS will be
listed in your CPW account: cpw.state.co.us/
CPWshop

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE
Specific preference-point hunt codes are listed at the
beginning of each species section in this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice on your application automatically awards you a point, if eligible. You can
choose other hunt codes as your second, third or fourth
choices.
Do not submit a separate application for preference
points, or both applications will be disqualified.
If only applying for a point, the credit card you keep on
file in your CPW account will be charged $40 ($30 resident
deer or pronghorn) if you don’t meet the criteria under No. 8
in How Preference Points Work. The $3 application fee and
$10 Habitat Stamp fee (if applicable) are nonrefundable.

11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.
Points are awarded for specific species, not for hunt
codes, sex, unit(s), season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in Colorado or who claim Colorado as their home of
residence and are deployed outside the U.S. are
eligible, when they return home, to apply for
preference points for any limited license drawings they missed while deployed. Applications
will be available at the end of July.

HOW TO APPLY AS A GROUP
1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications for any
number of people are accepted for all big-game
species in this brochure except moose. Group
applications entering the draw for deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear licenses have priority based
on the group member with the fewest preference
points. Group members must apply for the same
species, hunt code, unit, geographic restrictions,
season and method of take for each choice, but
may apply for a different sex. All group members
must have the same hunt code choices on their
applications (other than sex). Each member
must list the same first-choice hunt code and the
same second-, third- and/or fourth-choice huntcodes. These choices MUST be in the same order
on all group applications. If anyone in the group
makes an application error, such as providing
false proof of residency, everyone in the group is
disqualified.

2. CHOOSE A LEADER: One person must be the group
leader. NEW THE GROUP LEADER MUST APPLY FIRST, by
selecting "I am a group leader" on the application, prior to other
group members submitting their applications. If the leader
has no CID, they can create their profile online or call CPW to
create one. If there are differences in the number
or order of hunt codes on the applications, the
leader’s choices are used.

If the group is selected and there aren’t enough
licenses for everyone, the group will not get
licenses. If the group includes resident and nonresident applicants and the nonresident cap has
been met, the group will not get licenses. Group
applications are not accepted for the leftover
draw. Group members who choose the leftover
draw will go through as individuals.

3. ENTER LEADER CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members must select "I am
hunting in a group," and enter the group leader's
CID number in the Group ID box to be entered
as a group. All group members must use the same
person as the leader.

5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES: If
everyone in the group is successful for their first
choice, they all get a license and their preference
points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their
first choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses and
notifications are sent to each individual.

4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES: Groups
are assigned a number. If that number is selected
in the draw, everyone in the group gets a license.

what you drew, you can find out through your online account:
▶ GO ONLINE. Log in to your account during the week of June 4–8:

information on the species
you’ve applied for, if you were
successful or not, the license
you'll be mailed and your
preference point levels.

NOTE: If you like surprises and prefer to wait until you receive your

18

license in the mail, make sure you open it immediately and verify
that all information is correct and that you are familiar with all
of the restrictions related to the species and unit(s) you will be
hunting.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY
A WHITE-TAILED DEER?
The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and
brown from top to bottom with a white
fringe.
Mule deer have a white rump patch and
tail, with a black tip on the tail.

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange
or pink requirements (see page 14), regardless
of the type of weapon used.
Some public properties prohibit the use of
rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property
regulations to determine what types of weapons are legal before going afield.

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be
most commonly found along lower elevation
river bottoms.
Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding white-tailed
deer. Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission is
required prior to hunting.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed deer
in the area, and hunters can expect to see
more mule deer than white-tailed deer when
hunting in these GMUs.

iv

er

14

These licenses are sold only at CPW offices and state
parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more
information about whitetail identification when a license
is purchased. These are unlimited in number and go on
sale starting at 9 a.m. AUG 9.
Unit numbers in red indicate Chronic Wasting Disease
(CWD) has been detected in that unit.

ATTENTION HUNTERS:
Whitetails are at low-density populations in this
area and are mostly found on private land.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT THE ANTLERS?
Antlers differ between the species, but are
not a reliable distinguishing characteristic
between white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER ACCIDENTALLY?
Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetailonly license.
However, accidents happen. Please report
any mistaken kills immediately to the nearest
CPW office (listed on the inside front cover of
this brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager in the area.
See the Accidental Kill section on page 12
for more details.

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

▶ PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The first thing to
look for is the tail. It’s broad and brown with white fringe;
all white when tail is up

▶ TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

▶ ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three to five tines
pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer with small antlers may
appear to have a similar antler formation

2018 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: DEER

▶ EARS: large in proportion to head on both bucks and
does

▶ EARS: smaller in proportion to head

▶ GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held down

▶ GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

▶ RANGE: statewide; in mountain shrubs, foothills,
communities

▶ RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded
areas and cropland along rivers
30

▶ ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often very evenly —
on older males

ATTENTION HUNTERS:
MOST LAND IS PRIVATE IN UNITS EAST OF I-25.
LANDOWNER PERMISSION IS ADVISABLE BEFORE
APPLYING FOR HUNTS IN THESE UNITS.

The term “combined season” refers to the second, third and fourth rifle seasons, when both deer and elk hunters are in the field at the same time.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another
year. You can use your second through
fourth choices on the same application to
apply for a license. Submit only one application per species, per year.

If you don’t meet the criteria for a free
preference point, your credit card on file
in your account will be charged after the
draw for $40 for nonresidents (for deer, elk,
pronghorn and bear), or $30 for resident
applicants (for deer or pronghorn). The
$3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp
fee are nonrefundable. For more, see How
Preference Points Work on page 18.

ACCOUNT SET-UP GUIDE
PLAN AHEAD: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET SET UP AND APPLY FOR THE DRAW
CPW transitioned to a new integrated purchasing system.
Paper applications for the draw are no longer accepted; all
applications must be completed online or by phone.
DON’T TRY LOGGING INTO THE SYSTEM JUST YET! Read below.
EXISTING HUNTERS &amp; ANGLERS
If you have a past Customer Identification number (CID) from
a previous license, follow the instructions below carefully.
Please find your existing account, so your preference point(s) and

If you can’t find your previous CID or have any account issues, please call 1-800-244-5613, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

NEW CPW CUSTOMERS
If you’ve never purchased a license

GROUP HUNT APPLICATIONS
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO APPLY FOR GROUP HUNTS
By applying in a group for the Colorado limited license draws, you agree that you have read,
understand and will abide by the group rules outlined in these terms and conditions:

GROUP SIZES
■ Group applications for any number of people are accepted for the primary draw for elk, deer, pronghorn, bear and turkey.
■ Group applications for up to two individuals are accepted for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat. Residents and nonresidents may not apply together as a group for these species.
■ Group applications are not accepted for moose, desert bighorn sheep or any leftover draw.

GROUP LEADER
■ One person must be the group leader, and all applications in that group are linked together with that
group leader’s CID. While the system will validate the hunt code choices, if there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the applications, the leader’s choices are used.
■ THE GROUP LEADER MUST APPLY FIRST so that the group members’ hunt code choices can be validated. If you are the group leader, select “I am a group leader.” All other group members will select “I
am hunting in a group” and enter the group leader’s CID.
■ If the leader has no CID, they must call CPW to get one. All group members must use the same person as the leader in order to go through the draw as a group.

APPLYING AS A GROUP
■ Group members must apply for the same species, hunt code, unit, geographic restrictions, season
and method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex. For example, some group
members may apply for EM011O1R as their first choice and others for EF011O1R as their first choice,
and still be a part of the same group, but EE011P1R would not be a valid first choice for one of these
group members as it has a different geographic restriction (private-land-only).
■ All group members must have the same hunt code choices on their applications (other than sex).
Each member must list the same first-choice hunt code and the same second-, third-, and/or fourthchoice hunt codes. These choices must be in the same order on all group applications.

INTEGRATED PURCHASING SYSTEM
PLAN AHEAD: 7 KEY CHANGES FOR HUNTING LICENSE APPLICATIONS — JAN. 2018

2018 Limited-License Application Changes

TURKEY

INTEGRATED PURCHASING SYSTEM

LICENSE PAYMENTS: DUE WHEN YOU DRAW

■ Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) transitioned to a new purchasing system (1/2018).
■ The new system sells all CPW products, including licenses, park passes and state park camping
reservations.

■ Hunters will not have to pay for their license(s)
at the time of application.
■ Hunters will only be charged $3 per application
and a one-time $10 Habitat Stamp fee (if applicable).
■ If a hunter draws a license, the credit card on file
in their account will automatically be charged
for the license drawn.
■ If there is a problem with the payment, the hunter must clear up the payment issue before the
new payment deadline (listed in brochures).
■ If a hunter is awarded a preference point, the
credit card on file may be charged if the hunter did not have an annual license or big game
license with Colorado the previous year.
■ If a hunter is succesful in the draw and does not
pay for their license by the payment deadline,
the license is surrendered, and they lose both the
license and the preference points used to draw it.

LIMITED-LICENSE APPLICATIONS NOW PAPERLESS
■ Starting in 2018, all resident and nonresident
applications for all big game (including bighorn
sheep, goat and moose) and turkey will only
be accepted online at cpw.state.co.us, or by
phone: 1-800-244-5613
■ Existing hunters MUST LOOK UP their previous
CPW account and set up their profile in the new
purchasing system BEFORE APPLYING for a license
online starting March 1st.

ELK

EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD REQUIRED ONLINE
MULE DEER

MOOSE

WHITE-TAILED DEER

■ Every hunter, including youth, will need both
a unique email address and password to apply
and/or purchase online.
■ Existing CPW license holders MUST LOOK UP
their previous CPW record using their Customer Identification number (CID #) (from a previous CPW license), their birthdate and a unique
identifier (like a driver's license and/or passport).
■ Existing Reserve America and Colorado camping customers can use their existing email and
password to pull up their previous CPW record.
■ New CPW customers will need to create a new
account, entering their contact and identification
information the first time they use the system.
■ Families or hunting groups currently using the
same email address will need to establish unique
emails for each hunter, unless applying by phone.

GROUP APPLICATIONS
The group leader must apply and complete their
application prior to the other group members
submitting their applications (see the group hunt
instructions online).

OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) LICENSE AVAILABILITY
OTC licenses, with and without caps, now go on
sale after the leftover limited licenses go on sale
to the public in early August.

CUSTOMER SERVICE HELP 24/7
License, state park pass, camping reservation and
account set-up customer service is available 24
hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-244-5613

Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE: Get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES: Good campsites are found, not made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY: Pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND: Sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use signs
for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS: Use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE: Never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash
securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS: Be aware of the direction you shoot and be
courteous to others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands, expects hunters to abide by state game
and hunting laws, and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.

PREFERENCE POINTS

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTION &amp; SEALS

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as your firstchoice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on your
application to use another year. You can use your second
through fourth choices on the same application to apply for a
license. Submit only one application per species, per year.
If you don’t meet the criteria for a free preference point,
your credit card on file in your account will be charged after
the draw for $40 for nonresidents (for deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear), or $30 for resident applicants (for deer or pronghorn). The $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee are
nonrefundable. For more, see How Preference Points Work on
page 18.

Hunters must personally present bears to
a CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, the CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that a
tooth can be removed. Hunters can help by

making sure the jaw is propped open with
a stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after
the five-day period is illegal, and the hide
becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, 303-342-7430. Do not call the U.S
Fish and Wildlife Service about inspections
or seals for bears.

a cap on the number of licenses available. These are either-sex licenses.

license that overlaps with that rifle bear tag by at least one day of the season. These
licenses can be purchased at authorized sales agents, by phone and online through
OCT. 12. Then, they are only available at CPW offices.
“With caps” means there are a preset number of these licenses available on a

authorized sales agents, via telephone at 1-800-244-5613 or online at cpw.state.

GROUP HUNT APPLICATIONS
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO APPLY FOR GROUP HUNTS
By applying in a group for the Colorado limited license draws, you agree that you have read,
understand and will abide by the group rules outlined in these terms and conditions:

GROUP SIZES
■ Group applications for any number of people are accepted for the primary draw for elk, deer, pronghorn, bear and turkey.
■ Group applications for up to two individuals are accepted for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
mountain goat. Residents and nonresidents may not apply together as a group for these species.
■ Group applications are not accepted for moose, desert bighorn sheep or any leftover draw.

GROUP LEADER
■ One person must be the group leader, and all applications in that group are linked together with that
group leader’s CID. While the system will validate the hunt code choices, if there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the applications, the leader’s choices are used.
■ THE GROUP LEADER MUST APPLY FIRST so that the group members’ hunt code choices can be validated. If you are the group leader, select “I am a group leader.” All other group members will select “I
am hunting in a group” and enter the group leader’s CID.
■ If the leader has no CID, they must call CPW to get one. All group members must use the same person as the leader in order to go through the draw as a group.

APPLYING AS A GROUP
■ Group members must apply for the same species, hunt code, unit, geographic restrictions, season
and method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex. For example, some group
members may apply for EM011O1R as their first choice and others for EF011O1R as their first choice,
and still be a part of the same group, but EE011P1R would not be a valid first choice for one of these
group members as it has a different geographic restriction (private-land-only).
■ All group members must have the same hunt code choices on their applications (other than sex).
Each member must list the same first-choice hunt code and the same second-, third-, and/or fourthchoice hunt codes. These choices must be in the same order on all group applications.

2018 Limited-License Application Changes

TURKEY

INTEGRATED PURCHASING SYSTEM

LICENSE PAYMENTS: DUE WHEN YOU DRAW

■ Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) transitioned to a new purchasing system (1/2018).
■ The new system sells all CPW products, including licenses, park passes and state park camping
reservations.

■ Hunters will not have to pay for their license(s)
at the time of application.
■ Hunters will only be charged $3 per application
and a one-time $10 Habitat Stamp fee (if applicable).

LIMITED-LICENSE APPLICATIONS NOW PAPERLESS
■ Starting in 2018, all resident and nonresident
applications for all big game (including bighorn
sheep, goat and moose) and turkey will only
be accepted online at cpw.state.co.us, or by
phone: 1-800-244-5613

ELK

■ Existing hunters MUST LOOK UP their previous
CPW account and set up their profile in the new
purchasing system BEFORE APPLYING for a license
online starting March 1st.

EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD REQUIRED ONLINE
■ Every hunter, including youth, will need both
a unique email address and password to apply
and/or purchase online.
■ Existing CPW license holders MUST LOOK UP
their previous CPW record using their Customer Identification number (CID #) (from a previous CPW license), their birthdate and a unique
identifier (like a driver's license and/or passport).
■ Existing Reserve America and Colorado camping customers can use their existing email and
password to pull up their previous CPW record.
■ New CPW customers will need to create a new
account, entering their contact and identification
information the first time they use the system.

MULE DEER

MOOSE

WHITE-TAILED DEER

■ Families or hunting groups currently using the
same email address will need to establish unique
emails for each hunter, unless applying by phone.

■ If a hunter draws a license, the credit card on file
in their account will automatically be charged
for the license drawn.
■ If there is a problem with the payment, the hunter must clear up the payment issue before the
new payment deadline (listed in brochures).
■ If a hunter is awarded a preference point, the
credit card on file may be charged if the hunter did not have an annual license or big game
license with Colorado the previous year.
■ If a hunter is succesful in the draw and does not
pay for their license by the payment deadline,
the license is surrendered, and they lose both the
license and the preference points used to draw it.

GROUP APPLICATIONS
The group leader must apply and complete their
application prior to the other group members
submitting their applications (see the group hunt
instructions online).

OVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) LICENSE AVAILABILITY

EXPANDED BEAR RIFLE SEASON
Rules for hunting bear during the concurrent regular deer and elk
seasons:
▶ HOW TO GET IT: You must have a deer or elk license that is valid
during the regular rifle seasons. At least one game management unit on your deer or elk license must match ONE unit
listed on your bear license.

▶ WHEN YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear anytime during the
dates specified in the table at right. There’s no rifle bear hunting allowed on: Oct. 18–19, Oct. 29–Nov. 2 and Nov. 12–13.

▶ WHERE YOU CAN HUNT: You may hunt bear in any unit(s) listed
in the table for which your bear license is valid. You must
use your bear license on private land only if your deer or elk
license is for private land only.

FOR EXAMPLE:
You plan to hunt with an elk license good for Unit 17 (and any other
units specified on your elk license) during first rifle season (Oct.

2018 COLORADO BIG GAME HUNTING: LANDS

Display your pride and support for
wildlife conservation by purchasing
a Colorado Sportsmen’s License
Plate for your vehicle. The plate’s
simple message, “Hunting and Fishing Fund Conservation,” is a great
way to educate others about the
important role sportsmen play in
wildlife conservation. Hunters and

anglers fund more than 70 percent
of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s
annual budget, which helps to protect critical habitat and manage 960
wildlife species.
The plates may be ordered at statewide DMV offices. Visit: cpw.state.

cpw.state.co.us/UpdateInfo

» CHANGES TO LICENSE REFUND, REISSUE AND EXCHANGE POLICIES...
All license exchanges will be charged a fee of fifty percent of the cost of the
original license, not to exceed $25. Read the license exchange policy in full
at cpw.state.co.us/LCPolicy. Changes to CPW license refunds and reissues
became effective April 2016: hunters who need to refund a license will have to do
so at least 30 days prior to the start of the season for which the license is valid.
Most licenses that have been returned will be made available to the public on the
leftover license sales list (cpw.state.co.us/Leftover):
2017 LICENSE REISSUE POLICY
■ Any license that is returned to CPW that took 5 or more preference points to
draw will be manually reissued to the next eligible person based on the
residency status of the returned license.
» If a resident license gets returned, it will be reissued to a resident; if a
nonresident license gets returned, it will be reissued to a nonresident.
■ For each license returned, CPW will contact the next 5 people from the
current year’s draw order.
■ If one of those individuals accepts the license from the manual reissue process,
all of that person’s preference points will be used.
■ If a person has a current conflicting license for that species, they may
exchange their current license for the one being offered.
» The exchange fee will be assessed, which is fifty percent of the cost of the
original license, not to exceed $25.
■ If none of those 5 people accept the license from the manual reissue process, it
will be placed onto the leftover list at random intervals.
■ Any license that is returned to CPW that took fewer than 5 preference points
to draw will automatically be placed onto the leftover list at random intervals.
■ Customers who obtain a license from the leftover list will NOT have to use
their preference points.
CPW will be making additional adjustments to the license refund, reissue
and exchange policies in 2017. Check our website for the most up-to-date
information: cpw.state.co.us/refunds
» MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) TESTING IN SELECT
GMUs... In order to better gauge the presence of CWD in select deer herds,
CPW will require mandatory submission of CWD test samples from some
hunter-harvested bucks and does during the 2017 archery, muzzleloader and rifle
seasons. Any notified hunter that harvests a deer in the hunts specified (pages
19–28) will be required to present their deer for testing at a CPW facility. There
will be no charge for this mandatory testing. Get more information about where
and how to sumbit a CWD sample at cpw.state.co.us/bg/CWD.
» BIG GAME NOW INCLUDED IN WALK-IN ACCESS PROGRAM (WIA)...
CPW is initiating a pilot big game access component within the Walk-In Access
Program for 2017 that will allow public access to some WIA properties for deer,
elk and pronghorn hunting, within season dates of Sept. 1–Dec. 31. Information
on specific enrolled properties will first be available in the Walk-In Access
brochure, out in Aug. 2017. Also check our website at cpw.state.co.us/wia.
» THE DEFINITION OF HUNTING OVER BAIT HAS BEEN EXPANDED...
Hunting big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting over such bait
personally placed the bait, is against the law. See page 17 for more details.

» BOUNDARY CHANGES TO UNITS 16 &amp; 27... The unit boundaries for game
management units 16 and 27 have changed. See page 61 for descriptions.
» HUNTER PINK AN ALTERNATIVE TO HUNTER ORANGE... It is now legal
for hunters to wear solid fluorescent pink clothing as an alternative to solid
daylight fluorescent orange garments. This law applies to those who take deer, elk,
pronghorn, moose or black bear with any firearm. Private Ranching for Wildlife
hunters hunting with archery equipment are not required to wear fluorescent
orange or pink, although they may wish to consider wearing it if concerned about
visibility to other hunters. Read the fact sheet at cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/
Pages/Hunt.aspx.
» EXEMPTIONS TO HUNTER EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS... There is
a test-out option available for hunter education requirements, as well as an
apprentice certificate for new hunters. Please see the CPW website for more
information or to find hunter education courses: cpw.state.co.us/HunterEd

ELK LICENSE CHANGES FOR UNITS 59, 511, 512, 581 &amp; 591... All
antlerless icenses in these units are now list A (except for private-land-only);
muzzleloader licenses are specified for both cows and bulls; and OTC archery
list B antlerless licenses no longer apply for these units. See page 32.
» PRONGHORN
RIFLE DOE SEASON IN UNITS 110, 111, 118, 119, 123 &amp; 124 EXTENDED...
The Dec. rifle season for pronghorn does has been extended from 9 days to the
entire month of Dec. (Dec. 1–31) in GMUs 110, 111, 118, 119, 123 and 124. See
page 52 for hunt codes.
PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY RIFLE HUNTS ADDED... Private-land-only hunts
have been added to GMU 135 for bucks and does (Oct. 7–13) and to GMU
951 for does (Nov. 1–Dec. 31, late season). See the hunt table on page 52.
» MOOSE
GMU 161 OPEN FOR HUNTERS WITH UNFILLED 2016 LICENSES...
Some, or all, of the 2017 moose license quota may be used by 2016 hunters opting
to hunt in 2017. The portion of the 2017 quota available to these hunters will be
determined at the Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting in May 2017. Check

3. For residents, proof of residency (see page 18)
4. A 2017 Habitat Stamp (see requirements below)
5. For new customers, a Social Security number is required for ages 12 and older

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

1. Hunters must have a license to hunt. Sign it and carry the original with you while hunting.
2. A hunter may hunt only the animal, sex, season, units and method of take authorized
by the license. Complete season dates may not be printed on the license because of
space constraints. Check the details in this brochure for your specific license.
3. It is illegal to give false information to obtain a license. It also is illegal to alter a
license or to loan, transfer, sell or give your license to someone else.
4. If you lose or destroy your license, a duplicate is available for half the price of the
original license, but not more than $25. You can get a duplicate before the season
opens from any license agent. After the season begins, duplicate licenses are available
only at CPW locations.
5. Licenses expire on the expiration date printed on the license.
6. Nonresidents can continue to use their combo fishing license after harvesting a biggame animal, as long as the carcass tag is the only part of the license that has been
detached. The rest of the license must remain intact.

HUNTER EDUCATION (SAFETY) REQUIREMENTS
1. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1949, must have
a hunter education card to hunt in Colorado.
2. A hunter education card is needed to apply for or buy
a license. It must be carried while hunting
(unless verified and marked with a “V” on your license).
		 • To get your hunter education verified, take your
		 hunter education card to a CPW office.
3. CPW honors hunter education cards from
other states and provinces.

HUNTER EDUCATION EXEMPTIONS

1. Individuals over age 50 or active duty U.S. military and veterans can obtain a
hunter education certificate by testing out* of hunter education.
2. A one-time apprentice certificate* can be obtained for hunters who are at least 10
years old and who must be accompanied by a mentor*.
*Please see the CPW website for more information on hunter education exemptions or to find hunter education courses: cpw.state.co.us/HunterEd

HABITAT STAMP

1. Anyone ages 18–64 MUST purchase a Habitat Stamp in order to buy or
apply for a preference point, or for a hunting or fishing license.
2. Habitat Stamps are $10 and are nonrefundable. One is required per
person per year, valid April 1–March 31. A lifetime stamp is $300.25.
3. Hunters ages 18–64 applying for a limited license must purchase a
2017 Habitat Stamp to apply in the drawing process. To purchase
a stamp with your draw application, include $10 in addition to your license fee
when sending your application. If applying online, it will be added automatically, if
needed. Paper applications submitted for hunters who do not have a Habitat Stamp
will be disqualified from the draw.
4. EXEMPTIONS: Anyone with a free lifetime fishing license, a veteran’s lifetime
combination small-game hunting and fishing license or those approved for the
Big-Game Mobility Impaired Hunting Program are exempt. See cpw.state.co.us/
Accessibility for details.

PREFERENCE POINT FEES

PRONGHORN

» HOW IT WORKS. If you do not hold an active 2016 annual* or big-game license, or
do not receive a license through the draw, you will be charged $40 PER SPECIES (for
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear), for which you get a preference point. This fee applies
to residents and nonresidents. However, residents getting deer or pronghorn preference points will be charged only $30 for each of those.
For example: If a nonresident (who isn’t exempt from the fee) receives a point for
all four species, they will be charged $160. A resident would be charged $140.

BEAR

» HOW TO AVOID IT. If you don’t want to pay the fee, you have until March 31, 2017,
to purchase a 2016 annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game or resident senior fishing license.

» Resident adult ......................................................$31
» Resident youth......................................................$10.75
» Nonresident adult/fishing combo*................$386
» Nonresident youth /fishing combo*.............$100.75
» Resident ..................................................................$41
» Nonresident/fishing combo*...........................$351
All prices include a 25-cent search-and-rescue fee, a 75-cent
surcharge for the Wildlife Management Education Fund and
a $3 application fee for limited licenses applied for in the draw.
*Nonresident fishing licenses are good through March 31, 2018.
2

LICENSE INFORMATION

» HOW WILL I BE CHARGED FOR IT? If you are charged the preference-point fee,
it will be deducted from your 2017 big-game application refund(s). For example, if
you’re a resident and apply for a deer license or preference point and don’t draw (and
you are not exempt from the fee), you will receive a $1 refund.
* ANNUAL LICENSES INCLUDE: annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game or resident senior fishing license. Any returned licenses do not qualify.

LICENSE SALE DATES

IMPORTANT DATES

Colorado offers several different types of big-game licenses
and different options for purchasing them.
▶ AVAILABLE IN THE DRAW, APPLICATION DEADLINE APRIL 4

LICENSE DRAWING

» LIMITED LICENSES

To get a limited license or preference points, hunters must apply for the draw in April — this
is a process that awards licenses to hunters for specific units and dates. These are distributed
through an application and drawing process. They include public-land hunts, private-landonly licenses and Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses.
» PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY licenses are valid on private lands within GMUs listed on the licenses as
well as State Trust Lands not leased by CPW, but which have an active private recreational lease through the State Land Board (hunters should ask the landowner if this
applies). Permission from private landowners is always needed before hunting with a
private-land-only license. Please get permission before applying.
» RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE licenses are available to all Colorado residents. Resident hunters
may apply to hunt a specific ranch. Each ranch has specific rules. See page 14 for more.

» LEFTOVER DRAW OPTION — DEER AND ELK APPLICANTS ONLY

Deer and elk applicants can have the first chance at the limited licenses that are left after the
draw by checking the “Leftover Draw” box on the application where it states, “If unsuccessful,
send me...” (see below).

▶ AVAILABLE STARTING JULY 25
» OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES WITH CAPS

A preset number of licenses are available on a first-come, first-served basis for both resident
and nonresident hunters. These are called licenses “with caps.” They are sold online, by phone
at 1-800-244-5613 or at CPW locations and license agents, starting at 9 a.m. (MDT) July 25.

» OVER-THE-COUNTER UNLIMITED LICENSES

These are available to both resident and nonresident hunters starting at 9 a.m. (MDT) July
25. They are sold online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613, at license agents and at CPW locations around the state. They are unlimited in number and may be purchased any time until
the day before the hunting season begins. After the season starts, they are available at CPW
offices only — except for archery elk OTC licenses and plains elk OTC licenses, which can be
purchased at any license agent.

LANDOWNER PREFERENCE PROGRAM
ATTENTION: As of the 2015 license year, all previous versions of landowner preference have been replaced with the Landowner Preference Program
(LPP). The Priority Preference Program, Pilot Program and Regular Landowner applications are no longer accepted.

MORE ABOUT THE LANDOWNER
PREFERENCE PROGRAM ONLINE
cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner

FOR LANDOWNERS:

1. Deer, elk and pronghorn licenses (in units

that are totally limited for all rifle licenses)
are allocated to deeded landowners who
own at least 160 contiguous acres of private
agricultural land.
(Further qualifications apply — see website.)
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
» GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as a
voucher valid for a specific hunt code. An
additional 10 percent of the public quota
may be issued as a private-land-only voucher.
» GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as
a voucher valid for a specific hunt code.
An additional 10 percent of the public
quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher, and may only be transferred to a
youth or an immediate family member.
3. LPP applications are drawn just before
CPW’s public limited drawing. Successful

landowners receive a voucher for each
winning hunt code. Landowners will
be notified at the same time as public
applicants.
4. The deadline to register for 2017 has passed.
Registrations for 2018 may be submitted
through Dec. 1, 2017, at the web address
listed above. Registrations are valid for up
to five (5) years.

FOR HUNTERS:

1. The landowner or designated land manager

must transfer the voucher directly to the
hunter. A voucher that has been transferred
by any person who is not the landowner
or designated land manager is void. A
voucher that is brokered for another person
is void. A hunting license obtained for use
with a void voucher is also void. No person
shall broker a voucher on behalf of any
landowner or person, or use or possess any
brokered voucher.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the
hunter’s name is written on the voucher, or
the landowner or designated land manager
hands (or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred
one time only.

4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the
voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to

another hunter, even if the voucher has not
been redeemed for a license.
5. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you
can legally have the license before acquiring
a landowner voucher. List A, B or C is
printed on the voucher. See pages 17, 19, 33
and 48 for details.
6. The transfer of a voucher by a landowner
or designated land manager must include
permission to access and hunt all of the
registered land for which the voucher was
awarded, and for the entire season for
which the voucher was awarded, without
discrimination among hunters entering the
land. Restrictions are not allowed, except
for manner of access (i.e. foot, horseback,
vehicle) reasonably necessary to prevent
damage to land.
7. The voucher must be taken to a license
agent or CPW location to be redeemed for a
proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting.
The appropriate license fees are paid at that
time.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from
Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

YOUTH HUNTING

ELK, DEER, PRONGHORN OPPORTUNITIES FOR HUNTERS AGES 12–17

]

CPW expanded youth hunting by
giving kids more opportunities to
harvest big-game animals.
Youth may now pursue antlerless
deer or elk during any rifle season
open to antlerless hunts. Youth
hunts are no longer restricted to
late-seasons as in previous years.
Youth may also still hunt
pronghorn does during
December.

»

YOUTH EXPANDED
HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES

YOUTH DEER &amp; ELK HUNTS IN 2017
1. CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES
Youth may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youth
may hunt only the same species that is on their original license.
"Antlerless" means female deer (does) and elk (cows), as well as
young males of both species with antlers less than 5 inches long.

cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting

YOUTH EXTENDED SEASON
EXPLAINED ONLINE

A complete list of available hunts
for the youth extended season and
the corresponding units

2. CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT
If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless
elk or either-sex elk license (see "Purchasing and Converting Licenses," below) — whether it’s for archery,
muzzleloader or rifle hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this
brochure, except for Ranching for Wildlife. They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 6,
and there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.

3. PLAN AHEAD
To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or
either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to continue
hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 6 to make sure you purchase the original
deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the rifle
season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle season.
Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season, including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

PURCHASING &amp; CONVERTING LICENSES

» Youth must purchase their original license through the draw or from the leftover licenses list.
» Either-sex elk licenses must be converted to an antlerless license at a CPW office if the original license is
unfilled and the youth wishes to continue hunting an antlerless animal.
» Over-the-counter archery licenses, OTC whitetail licenses, antlered licenses and either-sex plains rifle elk
licenses may NOT be converted to participate in the extended season.

»

BIG GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTH
HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Youth must be ages 12–17 (see "Age Require-

ments" at right) and meet hunter education
requirements.
2. Youth must have an unfilled limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk
license after their original season ends.
Then they may participate in any open rifle
antlerless deer or elk hunt that begins after
the last day of the season listed on their
original license. (Does not include Ranching
for Wildlife.)
Youth may hunt in the areas specified on
the maps (pages 6), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
3. Youth with an unfilled either-sex elk license
must take the original license to a CPW
office to have it converted to an antlerless
license before hunting any extended seasons.
4. Youth hunters 12–15 years old must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older
and also meets hunter education requirements. Youth and mentors must be able
to see and hear each other while hunting.
Mentors can hunt only if they have a current
license valid for the same units and dates the
youth will be hunting.

5. Youth must follow all applicable regulations

for any hunts and units they select during
the extended season, including season dates
and geographic restrictions.
6. Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses
and either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not
be converted for extended youth hunting.
AGE REQUIREMENTS

1. Youth ages 12–17 are offered reduced-cost

licenses for deer, elk and pronghorn.

2. At age 11, youth may buy or apply for a

license if they will turn 12 before the end of
season on the license. Youth cannot hunt
with the license until they turn 12.
3. Youth who get their original license when
they are 17 and later turn 18 may participate
in the extended season hunt. Youth hunting
rules still apply, even though the hunter is 18
while hunting.
4. Youth cannot apply for a youth limited
license if they turn 18 on or before Feb.
7 this year. Youth must be 12–17 at time
of purchase to buy a youth unlimited or
leftover license.

YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE

1. A minimum of 15 percent of limited licenses

for doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex
deer and antlerless elk for each GMU shall
be available for youth ages 12–17 who meet
hunter education requirements.
These licenses are available by drawing for
all seasons and methods of take — including early and late rifle seasons. Licenses not
drawn by youth are available to the public.
(The Air Force Academy unit and Ranching
for Wildlife hunts are excluded from this.)
2. Youth hunt codes in GMUs 55, 66, 67 and
551 have been replaced with a youth preference set at 50 percent for all antlerless deer
licenses in those GMUs.
3. Group applications are not accepted.
4. If youth enter more than one hunt code on
their application, all hunt codes must qualify
for youth preference.
YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES
Youth Outreach licenses are offered for deer,
elk and pronghorn to qualified organizations
sponsoring youth hunting activities. Application procedures are on the CPW website,
cpw.state.co.us/YouthOutreachLicense.

DEER EXTENDED SEASON OPEN TO YOUTH
WHERE TO HUNT
DEER AND ELK

» Youth may hunt in any area on the

map within the red boundary that
also contains the unit for which
they purchased their original
license. (Units with lines through
them and blank, white areas are not
open to extended-season hunting.)
» Youth may only hunt the extended
season when an open antlerless
rifle hunt is going on in the unit
they choose to hunt.

FOR EXAMPLE:
» An original license is purchased in

the draw for a youth to hunt eithersex elk in unit 49 during archery
season.

» The youth does not harvest during
archery season and takes the tag
to a CPW office to convert it to
antlerless.

» The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any
of the rifle seasons listed in this
brochure for units 49, 57 or 58, as
long as there is an antlerless season
in progress in the unit the youth
wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online
at cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting.

over before the youth can begin hunting the late rifle season.

» During the extended season, the

youth may use any method of take
allowed during rifle season. See
page 16.

be used to participate in this program.

5. Youth must comply with all regulations

that apply to the December season they
hunt.

HYBRID DRAWING

ELK, DEER, PRONGHORN

]

To expand quality opportunities
to big-game hunters, the Colorado
Parks and Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid” drawing for select elk,
deer, pronghorn and bear licenses.
The purpose of the draw is to give
hunters additional opportunity to
draw a license for some of the state’s
premier deer, elk, pronghorn and
bear hunting areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to
draw these licenses now have a slight
chance to draw a small number of
the most coveted licenses through
this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses
may not have any remaining for the
Hybrid Drawing.)

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS
Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the Hybrid Draw must meet
the following criteria and choose
from the hunt codes listed at right as
their first choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of

five preference points for the species they wish to hunt to participate in the Hybrid Drawing.

2. Hunters must apply individu-

ally; group applications are not
accepted.

3. Hunt codes that contain a “W” are

Ranching for Wildlife properties. These hunts are for Colorado
residents only.

HOW IT WORKS
In hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw
(based on a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), up to 20 percent of
the available licenses may be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt
codes (listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species
will automatically enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
» Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid Drawing lose all
of their preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be
awarded one point.

refunds or preference point restorations are limited to
extreme medical circumstances of the licensee, death of
the licensee or death of the licensee’s immediate family

prevented them from requesting a refund or reinstatement on time.
These requests must be accompanied by evidence that
the license has not been used and circumstances precluded the licensee from being able to make their request

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES
HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt
in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:

ARCHERY — LIMITED LICENSES (DRAW)

1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species: D = deer; E = elk;

38 38

DATES

SEX HUNT CODE LIST

Aug. 26–Sept. 24 Either* D-E-038-O1-A

A

APPLICATIONS

A = pronghorn; M = moose; B = bear

VALID
UNIT UNITS

2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you

want to hunt: M = male; F = female; E = either sex

3. THE THIRD PART (THREE NUMBERS) designates the unit you want to

hunt: 001 = Unit 1; 201 = Unit 201; etc. If more than one unit is valid,
only the lowest unit number will appear.

4. THE FOURTH PART (A LETTER AND A NUMBER) indicates hunt dates.

For example: O1 = first season; O2 = second season; O3 = third season;
etc. P is for private-land-only hunts, followed by the season number: P1,
P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early season; L1 = late season; K2, K3 = youthonly hunts. There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife and S for a
split unit or season choice license.

5. THE LAST LETTER in the hunt code indicates what manner of take the

license is valid for: A = archery; M = muzzleloader; R = rifle and
associated methods.

HUNT CODE
D-E-038-O1-A
1

2

3

5

For example, this hunt code is for:
A deer hunt, for either-sex, in unit 38,
during the first season for archery.
NOTE: Be aware that the zero ( 0 ) in the hunt units
and the letter O in the hunt dates look very similar!

»

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES IN THIS BROCHURE
HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE. These are
available through the draw or as leftover licenses. (Some hunt tables on pages 58–59 in
the bear section include hunt codes for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available
through the draw.)
1. THE TITLE above each table indicates the method of take for the hunt codes within

that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to use. Tables are color
coded the same throughout the brochure.

2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you will look next to locate the game management unit

you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will
read “SEE UNIT __.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for
your hunt. For example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at right.

3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether
it is private land or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled as private land, you

should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that
license.

4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please

look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. THE SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt

code. Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is
huntable in a unit may have changed from previous years.

6. THE HUNT CODE column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you

desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted.
Please see section above on how to read hunt codes.

7. THE LIST column displays what type of license you are buying. There are opportuni-

ties to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses meet
the requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see “How to get more than
one license” sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following
brochure pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the
application. You may submit only one application per species, per year.

OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A DOT ( • ) in the UNIT column indicates there

is a special note about that unit, displayed below
the hunt code information (as shown with unit 40
above).

2. AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the SEX column indicates

units that had licenses left over after last year’s
drawing. There may be a good chance of licenses
left over this year, too, giving you a chance to draw
that license as a second, third or fourth choice on
your application, or by purchasing as a leftover
license.

3. A PLUS ( + ) in the SEX column indicates hunt

codes for which an average of at least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw
that license. This is only an average and does not
guarantee a license will be drawn. These calculations
are based on a 3-year period ending with the 2009
drawing.

!

HOW TO FILL OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS
TIPS FOR FILLING OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS:
» USE ONLY APPLICATIONS IN THE CENTER OF THIS BROCHURE. Photocopies and sample applications pictured below are not accepted.

Do not cut or fold applications. Remove stubs.

» USE CAPITAL LETTERS AND STAY COMPLETELY WITHIN THE BOXES. Print clearly. Use black ballpoint pen only. Do not use correction
tape or fluid, or write over errors. Either get a new application or scratch out the error and write above it without interfering with other boxes.
» REVIEW YOUR APPLICATION. Incorrect applications are disqualified and no preference points are awarded. Photocopy your
application for your records. If applying online, print or save your receipt; it is your only record of what you applied for.
» MAKE A MISTAKE? If you’ve already turned in your application but made a mistake on it, corrections must be made online by
April 10. An effort will be made to complete every request; however, CPW cannot guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
Due to time constraints, CPW cannot confirm that your correction has been made. For more information, visit cpw.state.co.us/bg/corrections.

HOW PREFERENCE POINTS WORK
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS

to hunters who apply properly and are
unsuccessful in drawing a license for a firstchoice hunt code for big-game species in
this brochure. You may apply for a preference point as your first-choice hunt code.
Hunters who make an application error,
including on first-choice hunt codes, do not
get a point.
2. YOUTH can apply for a point if they turn 12
by Dec. 31 of the application year.

8. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-

counter and leftover hunts don’t use or
generate points.
9. $40 PREFERENCE POINT FEE. Hunters will
be automatically assessed $40 per species
($30 for resident deer and pronghorn) for a
preference point unless they have purchased
one of the following: an annual fishing,
small-game, resident combination smallgame and fishing, furbearer or a big-game
license in the previous year, or a current

section below.

»

HOW TO APPLY AS A GROUP
1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications for any

number of people are accepted for all biggame species in this brochure except moose.
Group applications entering the draw for
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear licenses have
priority based on the group member with
the fewest preference points. Group members must apply for the same species, hunt
code, unit, geographic restrictions, season
and method of take for each choice, but may
apply for a different sex. All group members
must have the same hunt code choices on
their applications (other than sex). Each
member must list the same first-choice hunt
code and the same second-, third- and/or
fourth-choice hunt-codes. These choices
MUST be in the same order on all group ap

plications. If anyone in the group makes an
application error or doesn’t pay the correct
amount, everyone in the group is disqualified.
2. CHOOSE A LEADER: One person must be
the group leader. If there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the
applications the leader’s choices are used.

3. ENTER LEADER CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members — including

the leader — must enter the same CID number in the group application box to be entered
as a group. If the leader has no CID, they must
call CPW to get one. All group members must
use the same person as the leader.

4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES:

Each hunter’s application must be submitted

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE

Specific preference-point hunt codes are
listed at the beginning of each species section in this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice
on your application automatically awards
you a point, if eligible. You can choose
other hunt codes as your second, third or
fourth choices.
Do not submit a separate application for
preference points or both applications will
be disqualified.
You must pay the full cost of a license
and meet all requirements even if only
applying for a point. If only applying for a
point, your money, minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is
refunded. An additional $40 ($30 resident
deer or pronghorn) may be deducted if
you don’t meet the criteria under No. 9 in
“How Preference Points Work.”
11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Points are awarded for specific

species, not for hunt codes, sex, unit(s),
season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed in
Colorado or who claim Colorado as their
home of residence and are deployed outside
the U.S. are eligible, when they return
home, to apply for preference points for any
limited license drawings they missed while
deployed. Applications will be available at
the end of July.
separately. Groups are assigned a number.
If that number is selected in the draw, everyone in the group gets a license. If the group is
selected and there aren’t enough licenses for
everyone, the group will not get licenses. If
the group includes resident and nonresident
applicants and the nonresident cap has been
met, the group will not get licenses. Group
applications are not accepted for the leftover
draw. Group members who choose the leftover draw will go through as individuals.

5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES:

If everyone in the group is successful for their
first choice, they all get a license and their
preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful
for their first choice, everyone gets a point.
Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to
each individual.

WHAT LICENSE DID YOU DRAW?
Can’t wait to see what license you get in the mail? All big-game
licenses will be in the mail by June 23, but if you’d rather not wait
to find out what you drew, there is a way to find out online.
» GO ONLINE. Go to cpw.state.co.us/DrawResults on or after

June 1.

» VIEW YOUR DRAW RESULTS. Enter your ID information and

you will be able to see your draw results for the last several
years, as well as your current preference point levels.

NOTE: If you like surprises and prefer to wait until you receive your
license in the mail, make sure you open it immediately and verify
that all information is correct and that you are familiar with all of
the restrictions related to the species and unit(s) you will be hunting.

were successful or not, the license or check you will be mailed and your preference point level.

BIG-GAME SPECIES IDENTIFICATION
TIPS FOR IDENTIFYING ANIMALS

1. ID FIRST, TRIGGER FINGER SECOND. Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your binoculars, not

your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your finger on the trigger.

2. STUDY THE BODY. There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s antlers, study the entire head and

body of an animal before you shoot. This will help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

3. WATCH FOR BABIES. When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk. Young moose have a reddish coat,

REFERENCE

similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.
4. MAKE A MISTAKE? Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic. Call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must

know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern

Plains. Since both types of deer have the same general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to
make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS

AREAS CLOSED TO SHED ANTLER HUNTING

Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to onehalf hour after sunset, unless specifically restricted.
The sunrise/sunset chart below lists times for Denver. Subtract 1 minute
from opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles east of Denver. Add 1
minute to opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles west of Denver.
(These changes assume that each degree of longitude equals 50 miles and
a change of 1 degree of longitude equals a 4-minute change in sunrise and
sunset times.)

Shed antler hunting is not allowed from Jan. 1–March 14
on public lands in GMUs 25, 26, 35, 36, 43, 44, 47, 54, 55,
66, 67, 444, 471 and 551. From March 15–May 15, these
areas are closed to shed hunting only from sunset to 10 a.m.

HUNT PROGRAMS

1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged
by the bullet when you process an animal.
Fragments can scatter far from the wound.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal.
Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating a batch of ground meat.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

&amp; Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to
Colorado residents by drawing. Licenses are valid only for
the season and ranch specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters who
draw a public license for their ranch. By applying for a RFW
license, hunters allow CPW to provide applicant information
to the ranch.
Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch rules
on the CPW website at cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/
RFW.aspx before applying.

GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS

Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and
insured in Colorado. They also need permits to operate on
public land and must register with the Office of Outfitter
Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202,
303-894-7778; www.colorado.gov/pacific/dora/Outfitters.
Legal, legitimate outfitters operate around the state and
can provide invaluable resources for your hunting trip.
Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the above
office or Colorado Outfitters Association online at
coloradooutfitters.org.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES

Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are
available to hunters ages 12–21 with a terminal illness or lifethreatening disease or injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between
Aug. 15 and Jan. 31 each year. Licenses are not offered in
units with at least one hunt code that requires 10 or more
resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching for
Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written
permission from the landowner to hunt on private land.
Sponsoring organizations must request licenses in writing
and document the life-threatening or terminal condition,
hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to CPW, Hunter Outreach
Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to estimate harvest, hunter numbers and recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call
or email, asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal,
if you were satisfied with your experience and if you saw
overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not required, but responding — even if you didn’t
hunt or harvest — is an important part of setting future
seasons and license numbers.
If contacted, you can take the survey online at
colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free phone number
1-855-924-4278.
The survey runs 24 hours daily, October through midFebruary. See the CPW website for details.

HUNT SMART, STAY SAFE

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1.

WHAT IS IT?

Chronic wasting disease
(CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and
moose. It causes animals to
become emaciated, display
abnormal behavior and
eventually die. Infected
animals often show no signs
of illness. State and federal
health experts say CWD is
not likely transmissible to
humans.

2.

WHERE IS IT?

3.

The map in the back of this
brochure highlights game
management units
in red where CWD has
been detected.
CWD has been found
in several regions in
Colorado, as well as other
states and provinces. In
this state, infection rates
appear higher in males and
older animals. Details are
available online.

MANDATORY TESTING 2017

CPW will require mandatory submission
of CWD test samples from some hunterharvested bucks and does during the
2017 archery, muzzleloader and rifle
seasons, to better evaluate the prevalence
of CWD in herds. Any notified hunter
that harvests a deer in the units specified
will be required to present their deer for
testing at a CPW office. There will be no
charge for this mandatory sampling. Find
the specific GMUs and hunts on pages
19–28 of this brochure.

CWD RESOURCES ARE ONLINE: cpw.state.co.us/bg/CWD

HUNTERS MUST WEAR FLUORESCENT ORANGE OR PINK
Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE
OR FLUORESCENT PINK material on an outer garment above the waist while hunting
deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange or pink
hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during
rifle season. Archers hunting during a limited bear season, hunting with an archery bear,
deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license, or licensed for private land hunting through the
Ranching for Wildlife program do not have to wear fluorescent orange or pink, but should
consider wearing it to increase safety while in the field. Auction- and raffle-license holders
do not have to wear orange or pink when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle
seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange or
pink that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE OR PINK DOES NOT QUALIFY!
Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink clothes
in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange or pink is for
hunter safety, as big-game animals don’t see these colors like we do.
Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.

MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units are encouraged to mark the location of their harvest in
the field. This is especially important for hunters who harvest a bear or moose.
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be asked to give a location of their
harvest. Having GPS coordinates makes reporting simple and precise.
Use your GPS to set a waypoint where you harvest an animal and save the UTM
or longitude and latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the check
report form during harvest inspections.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)

All off-highway vehicles operated in
Colorado on public lands or if traveling
on an OHV-designated route must have
a valid Colorado OHV registration or a
Colorado OHV permit (except on private property).
Registrations/Permits are $25.25, valid April 1–March 31.
OHV Permits (applicable for nonresidents and street legal/plated
vehicles) are online at cpw.state.co.us/bg/OHVpermit, at
CPW locations and license agents. Questions, call 303-7911920. Renewal registrations are available online and at CPW
locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in
person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their
current motor vehicle-use rules, regulations, agency maps and
game retrieval specifications and hours. Most areas do not
allow off-trail game retrieval with any motorized vehicle. If you
witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public lands,
please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

2017 Colorado Big Game Hunting

» If convicted of these felony violations, you can face a lifetime license suspension:
1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers
or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide outfitting services without required registration.

IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:

1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one appli-

cation in the drawing per species, per license year.

2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and

possession limit is the total number of animals you
can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
January and February seasons set as part of the
previous license year’s seasons fall under the previous year’s bag and possession limit. When a license
allows hunting in more than one unit, the unit in
the hunt code determines the maximum number
of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that
species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on your big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or
furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big-game license.

REFERENCE

!

4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles
are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder
is removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is unloaded or the battery is disconnected
and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and bows
carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with open
ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to landowners or their agents who carry a
firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife on property they own or lease.
6. Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters. Only portable blinds and tree stands for big-game hunting can be erected on CPW land, and no more than
30 days prior to the season during which they will be used. No nails can be driven into trees.
Man-made materials for blinds or stands must be removed within 10 days after the season they
are used in ends. The owner’s Customer Identification (CID) number and dates of use must be
visible on outside of portable blinds or underside of tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands
does not reserve them for personal use; they may be used on first-come, first-served basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding human life or property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with
a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to
hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the ground or to hunt the same day or day after a
flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted remote technology while hunting or fishing. This
includes unmanned or remote-control drones used to look for wildlife. Hunters and anglers
must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
13. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
14. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
15. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
16. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound or may have wounded.
It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife that goes on private property without first
obtaining permission from landowner or person in charge.
17. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare edible wildlife meat for human consumption. At a
minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins and backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not.
18. Shoot from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle,
handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be at least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.
19. Party hunt (i.e. kill someone else’s game or let someone kill yours).
20. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by
using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects; making movements;
harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas;
intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may have to
pay victim’s damages and court costs.
21. For two or more people on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife law or regulation.
22. Use dogs.
22. Hunt big game over bait, whether or not the person hunting personally placed the bait.
Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal parts or other
food as an attraction for big game. Salt or mineral blocks used for normal agricultural
purposes are not considered bait. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
23. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more cubs. A cub is a bear less than a year old.
24. Hunt bears in their dens.
25. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting
license or unless authorized by CPW.
26. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
27. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner or person in charge.
28. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
29. Use State Land Board properties not leased and signed by CPW without permission of lessee.

BAG LIMITS &amp; TAGGING

CARCASS TAGS

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must be immediately signed,
dated, detached from the license and attached to the
carcass of the animal — not to detached hides, horns,
antlers or carried separately. Tags must stay on until
meat is processed and remain with meat until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag,
you must get a duplicate from a CPW office before
hunting and prove the loss, detachment or destruction
was accidental. Do not remove other parts of a license
except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the
license and you must buy a duplicate.
If you have a nonresident big game/fishing combo
license, the fishing license is valid after the carcass tag
is detached, as long as the rest of the license is intact.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal to have only detached evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for
CWD testing, leave evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:

A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns attached to

carcass; or testicle, scrotum or penis attached to carcass.

B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva

attached to carcass.

C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis.

Female: vulva.

3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate

evidence of sex.

4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of

sex needs to be attached to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported
together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds of meat or
after the carcass is cut into processed meat, wrapped
and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP: If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less

than 5 inches long, it can be considered “antlerless”.
But what do you do about evidence of sex?
1. Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to prove it meets the requirement.
2. Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass and then you can detach the head or skull plate
and carry it out with the antlers intact.

REFERENCE

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

Requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must live in Colorado at least 6 consecutive months immediately before
applying for or buying a license, AND you must intend to make Colorado
home (except No. 3 and No. 4 below). The residence address you give to
buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax
return.
2. A valid Colorado driver’s license or Colorado ID is proof of residency if
issued at least 6 months prior to buying or applying for a license. If your ID
or driver’s license was issued or renewed less than 6 months prior, you must
provide documentation that proves you have been a resident for the required
6-month period.
3. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active
duty in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents qualify.
This includes people who were Colorado residents when they entered the
military and keep Colorado as their home of record, and their dependents
(unless they change their home of record to another state). Also included
are personnel of the U.S. Diplomatic Service or diplomatic services of nations recognized by the U.S. assigned here on permanent active duty orders
and their dependents. Active duty military does not include reserve status,
National Guard or government contractors.
4. Full-time students qualify who are enrolled and attending a Colorado
college, university or trade school at least 6 months immediately before
applying for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily absent from Colorado but still enrolled. Colorado residents who attend
school full time out of state and pay nonresident tuition still qualify for a
resident license.
5. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal
guardian or person with whom they live most of the time per court order.
6. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call 303-297-1192 to
make sure you comply with Colorado residency requirements before applying for or obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
7. Except as in No. 3 and No. 4 above, you lose your Colorado residency if you
apply for, buy or accept a hunting or fishing license as a resident of another
state or country, register to vote outside Colorado or get a driver’s license
using an address in another state.

SECURE AND VERIFIABLE IDENTIFICATION

As required by the state’s “Secure and Verifiable Identity Document Act,” residents
and nonresidents buying or applying for hunting or fishing licenses must show
secure and verifiable ID. For a list of acceptable and unacceptable documentation,
go to the CPW website: cpw.state.co.us/SecureAndVerifiableInfo

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support
Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

FELONY OFFENSES AND WEAPONS

Colorado and federal law prohibits people convicted of certain crimes, such as
domestic violence, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been
convicted of a crime, check with the appropriate law enforcement authorities to
find out how these laws apply to you.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES

Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at CPW locations, on the website or call 303-297-1192.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically
impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with
license fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.
Applications accepted from the Monday after the Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are firstcome, first-served until unit and program caps are reached.
18

REFERENCE

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less)
must accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns,
or must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments
must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season
and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on
the meat, voiding both licenses.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept.
of Agriculture, 303-239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to:
colorado.gov/pacific/agconservation/weedfreeforage

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot a big-game animal with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.

HUNTERS USING HORSES

If you are bringing a horse into Colorado from out of state, you must contact
a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection no more than 30 days
before. Horses need a Coggins blood test for equine infectious anemia within
a year before coming here. Call Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, 303-8699130. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection before transportation.
Call brand inspector, 303-869-9160.

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

TIPs awards licenses and preference points to eligible persons that report the
illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey that results in a person being charged for the illegal take, possession or willful destruction of big game or turkey. Advise the charging officer of your interest
in a TIPS award. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/TIPS for the criteria to qualify
for a preference point or license, or contact CPW for details at 303-297-1192.

ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER, RIFLE
Most deer licenses are limited and available only through the draw.
Over-the-counter licenses for white-tailed deer are available in certain units with
lower populations. See the map and details, page 30.

NEED TO KNOW

» NEW! MANDATORY CHRONIC WASTING
DISEASE (CWD) TESTING IN SELECT
GMUs... To help us gauge the presence of
CWD in select deer herds, CPW will require
mandatory submission of CWD test samples
from some hunter-harvested bucks and does
during the 2017 archery, muzzleloader and rifle
seasons. Any notified hunter that harvests a deer
in the hunts specified in the hunt tables on the
following pages will be required to present their
deer for testing at a CPW facility. There will be
no charge for this mandatory sampling.

»

TABLE SYMBOLS
» AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the “Sex” column indicates units that had licenses remaining after last
year’s drawing. NOTE THAT SEVERAL OF THESE
HUNTS DO REQUIRE PREFERENCE POINTS, as
some successful applicants return licenses, making
them available as leftovers.
» A PLUS ( + ) in the “Sex” column is for hunt
codes for which an average of a least six preference
points are needed for a Colorado resident to draw
that license. This is only an average and does not
guarantee a license will be drawn. Calculated on a
3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

»

DEFINITIONS
» SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE.
Whitetails and mule deer. See page 13.
» BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with
antlers at least 5 inches long. There are no antlerpoint restrictions for deer.
» DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female animal with no
antlers. “Antlerless” can also mean a young male
with antlers less than 5 inches.
» EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

»

PREFERENCE POINTS
To apply for a point, enter D-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice
on your application to use another year. You can
use your second through fourth choices on the
same application to apply for a license. Submit only
one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. If you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat
Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters may be
charged $40 (or $30 for resident applicants) if you
don’t meet the criteria for a free preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

WHITETAIL ONLY — OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES

LATE RIFLE SEASON

]

]

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

These over-the-counter licenses provide
an opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer
in a portion of the state where mule deer
are the primary species of management
interest.
This means there are few white-tailed
deer in the area, and hunters can expect to
see more mule deer than white-tailed deer
when hunting in these GMUs.

DEER

WHERE ARE THE WHITETAILS
FOUND IN THIS SEASON?

EITHER-SEX LICENSES AVAILABLE

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be
most commonly found along lower elevation river bottoms.
Hunters should focus on these areas to
improve their chances of finding whitetailed deer. Much of the white-tailed deer
habitat is located on private lands where
permission is required prior to hunting.

DATES: Dec. 1–31
LIST: B
VALID UNITS:

48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140,
481, 511, 561, 581, 591, 691, 851 except
Bosque del Oso SWA, 861
These licenses are sold only at CPW offices
and state parks that sell hunting licenses.
Hunters will receive more information about
whitetail identification when a license is
purchased. These are unlimited in number
and go on sale starting at 9 a.m. July 25.

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE
CAN I USE?

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO
IDENTIFY A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

ATTENTION HUNTERS: Whitetails are at
low-density populations in this area and
are mostly found on private land.

»

The license is valid for any legal method
of take. However, because this is a rifle
season, hunters are required to follow
blaze orange or pink requirements (see
page 15), regardless of the type of weapon
used.
Some public properties prohibit the
use of rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check
property regulations to determine what
types of weapons are legal before going
afield.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

The best way to tell the difference between
a white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the
tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and
brown from top to bottom with a white
fringe.
Mule deer have a white rump patch
and tail, with a black tip on the tail.

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT
THE ANTLERS?

Antlers differ between the species, but are
not a reliable distinguishing characteristic
between white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER
ACCIDENTALLY?

30

Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetailonly license.
However, accidents happen. Please
report any mistaken kills immediately to
the nearest CPW office (listed in the front
of this brochure) or the District Wildlife
Manager in the area.
See the “Accidental Kill” section on
page 18 for more details.

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

» PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The
first thing to look for is the tail. It’s broad and
brown with white fringe; all white when tail is up

» TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

» ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three
to five tines pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer
with small antlers may appear to have a similar
antler formation

» ANTLERS: fork and fork again — often
very evenly — on older males
» EARS: large in proportion to head on
both bucks and does
» GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held

» EARS: smaller in proportion to head

down

» GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

» RANGE: statewide; in mountain
shrubs, foothills, communities

» RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in streamside wooded areas and cropland along rivers

ELK SEASON DATES

ELK

» A PLUS ( + ) in the “Sex” column is for hunt codes
for which an average of a least six preference points
are needed for a Colorado resident to draw that license. This is only an average and does not guarantee
a license will be drawn. Calculated on a 3-year period
ending with the 2009 drawing.

»

PREFERENCE POINTS

32

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice
on your application to use another year. You can use
your second through fourth choices on the same
application to apply for a license. Submit only one
application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. If you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp
fee, will be refunded. Hunters may be charged $40
(or $30 for resident applicants) if you don’t meet
criteria for a free preference point.
NONRESIDENTS must pay at least $484 to apply for an elk preference point, plus a $10 Habitat
Stamp fee. If your second, third or fourth choice is
for bull or either sex, or if your unsuccessful option
is an unlimited bull license, you must pay $644, plus
the $10 Habitat Stamp fee.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

»

» AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the “Sex” column indicates
units that had licenses remaining after last year’s
drawing. NOTE THAT SEVERAL OF THESE HUNTS
DO REQUIRE PREFERENCE POINTS, as some
successful applicants return licenses, making them
available as leftovers.

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT

game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or
use alcohol wipes after dressing game.

Access permits are now available
for the Alamosa, Baca and Monte
Vista National Wildlife Refuges. To

permits, hunters must hold an eithersex archery, an antlered muzzleloader,
an antlered or either-sex first rifle, an

to enter into the permit drawing, call
the CPW Monte Vista Office at 719587-6900.

»

Most of the time, properly handled and
prepared game meat poses no greater risk
than domestic meat of causing or carrying
disease that could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local
public health department or CPW office
for information on wildlife diseases where
they plan to hunt. Public health officials
recommend the following precautions when
handling and preparing game meat:

TAXIDERMY

1. Do not handle animals that are obviously
sick or found dead. Report sick or dead
animals you find to a CPW office near you.

7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least 165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices from adequately
cooked game meat should be clear.

HANDLING
ANTLERS IN CAMP

2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.

8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.

3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing
game.

9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic
pets.

»

6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately
after use. Use hot soapy water, then disinfect with a 10 percent chlorine bleach
solution.

If you leave the head of your harvest
with its antlers at a taxidermist, you
are encouraged to get a receipt from
the taxidermist — with date delivered and a description of the antlers
— before you take the carcass home
or to a commercial processor.

Head or skull plate, with both
antlers naturally attached, must
accompany the carcass of bulls in
camp or in transit, even when the

Do your part to protect big-game habitat
Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to Colorado
and are capable of causing severe environmental and economic harm.
For example, a Montana study showed that dense populations of spotted
knapweed reduced available winter forage for elk by 50-90 percent. Elk use
increased almost four times after the plant infestations were controlled.
Equipment and vehicles can accidentally transport harmful invasive species
into and around Colorado. Follow these few simple steps to protect biggame habitat and stop the spread of harmful invasive species!

» COME CLEAN: Before leaving home, inspect your vehicles and

belongings. Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud from
vehicles and equipment.

» USE WEED-FREE HAY: Use weed-free hay when horseback riding or

using hay for other purposes.

» USE LOCAL FIREWOOD: Invasive forest pests are transported in

firewood and wood products. Buy firewood near where you intend
to burn it. Don’t transport firewood into Colorado from out of state.
Burn all firewood before leaving the campsite.

» LEAVE CLEAN: Before leaving, inspect your vehicle and belongings.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud. Brush hunting
dogs and other pets before leaving.

» CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY WATERCRAFT: Watercraft, including

motors and trailers, should be clean, fully drained and allowed time to completely dry in between each use.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY.
LEAVE NO TRACE

Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE... get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES... good campsites are found, not
made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY... pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND... sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use
signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS... use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE... never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash
securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS... be
aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous to
others you see.
This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership
with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
For more information visit: www.LNT.org

The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands,
expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws,
and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.

» ATTENTION HUNTERS!
UNITS WITH MOSTLY
PRIVATE LAND can be found
in many pronghorn hunting
areas. Landowner permission is
advisable before applying for the
following units, as most land is
private in:
9, 104, 110, 112, 116, 120, 128,
129, 130, 132, 136, 137 and 214.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE PRONGHORN LICENSE
ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application per species each year. Additional licenses for
the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over-the-counter or special licenses issued by CPW.
Hunt tables on the following pages show whether each pronghorn license is List A, B or C.

HOW TO GET THEM:

at license agents, CPW locations or online while supplies last.
LIST C: These are issued by CPW locations when available, unless otherwise noted above.

PREFERENCE POINTS

48

To apply for a point, enter A-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another
year. You can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a
license. Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. If you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 service fee and $10 Habitat Stamp
fee, will be refunded.
Hunters may also be charged $40 ($30
for resident applicants) if you don’t meet the
criteria for a free preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work” on
page 12.

GIVE YOURSELF A HUG.
Hunters and anglers like you contribute as
much to Colorado’s economy as the skiing
industry. Heck, give yourself a pat on the
back, too.

See page 13.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE MOOSE LICENSE

»

» THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered
moose is one. All licenses available by draw.
If you’ve harvested a bull, you may not apply
for an either-sex license.

MOOSE SEASON DATES

» Archery................................Sept. 9–24
» Muzzleloader....................Sept. 9–17
» Rifle.......................................Oct. 1–14

To apply for a point, enter M-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another year.
You can use your second choice on the same
application to apply for a license.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE
WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
There are three species of big-game animals
that use the weighted preference point system
to award licenses in Colorado: moose, Rocky
Mountain bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
Weighted preference increases your probability of drawing and applies to both bull and
cow licenses. Here’s how it works:
Hunters can only accumulate up to three
points for moose. If you have three preference points and you fail to draw a first-choice
license, you will receive weighted preference.

Weighted preference is calculated by converting your application number into a different, random application number, then dividing
that new application number by the number of
weighted points you have, plus one. Individuals
with three preference points and no weighted
preference will have their application number
divided by one.
This generates another new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number
from lowest to highest, and low numbers for
each hunt code are awarded licenses.

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P
as your first-choice hunt code on your
application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another
year. You can use your second through
fourth choices on the same application to
apply for a license. Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only,
your money, minus the $3 application fee
and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters may be charged $40 (or $30
for resident applicants) if you don’t meet
the criteria for a free preference point.

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS AND SEALS

!

Hunters must personally present bears to a
CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, the CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that a
tooth can be removed. Hunters can help by

making sure the jaw is propped open with
a stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after
the five-day period is illegal, and the hide
becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES
documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 303-342-7430. Do not
call the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service about
inspections or seals for bears.

OVER-THE-COUNTER
WITH CAPS LICENSES

Archery, muzzleloading and some rifle bear licenses are sold over the
counter with a cap on the number of licenses available. These are either-sex
licenses.
These licenses are NOT available through the draw. If you apply for
these hunt codes in the draw, your application will be disqualified. Note: to
participate in the over-the-counter with caps rifle bear season, a hunter must
also hold a deer or elk license that overlaps with that rifle bear tag by at least
one day of the season. These licenses can be purchased at license agents, by
phone and online through Oct. 13. Then, they are only available at CPW
offices.
“With caps” means there are a preset number of these licenses available
on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. July 25. Get them at CPW
locations, license agents, via telephone at 1-800-244-5613 or online at
cpw.state.co.us/bg/buyapply.
The Parks and Wildlife Commission sets the number of “with cap”
licenses in May.

�2016 Colorado Big Game Hunting

2016 WHAT’S NEW

!

» CHANGES TO LICENSE REFUNDS... Beginning April 1, 2016, all licenses must be returned to CPW or postmarked at least
30 days prior to the start of the season for which they are valid in order to be eligible for a refund or preference point reinstatement. A $15
processing fee will be charged on all refunds except for youth licenses or in the case of CPW error. Preference point restoration requests are
exempt from the processing fee. Refunds or preference point restoration requests after 30 days prior to season start are limited to extreme medical
circumstances, death of license holder or license holder’s immediate family member, military deployment or CPW error; the processing fee will
not apply. A license cannot be recovered once it has been returned to CPW. Limited licenses that are returned may be available for purchase.
Information on how to purchase returned limited licenses will be available after July 1, 2016. Please see the CPW website for the most up-to-date
information on license refunds and reissues, cpw.state.co.us/Licenses

» CHANGES TO HUNTER EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS WILL BEGIN APRIL 2016... New changes to hunter education requirements in
Colorado will begin on April 6, 2016. There will be a new test-out option available for the hunter education certification requirement as well as an
apprentice license for new hunters.
Hunters age 50 or older or U.S. military personnel defined as active-duty, reserve-duty, veteran and National Guard can test out of the hunter
education requirements by creating a customer identification number and taking a one-time, online test that must be completed in a single session
with a 90 percent pass rate. Hunters age 50 and older must wait 24 hours after successfully passing to purchase a license. Military personnel must
take certificate of completion and their military ID to a CPW office for verification and/or license purchase. The cost of the online test is $25.
Hunters who do not score 90 percent or higher on their test must attend a hunter education class.
The free apprentice license is a one-year waiver of the hunter education requirement with the aim of getting new hunters in the field. The apprentice license can
only be obtained once, is valid from April 1 to March 31 annually, and allows for the purchase of hunting licenses. The apprentice license holder must be at least
10 years old (12 to hunt big game) and must be accompanied by a mentor at all times in the field. A mentor is someone at least 18 years old who has a hunter
education certificate or was born before January 1, 1949. They must carry proof of age and their hunter education certificate when in the field. A mentor can
accompany up to two apprentices in the field. Please see the website for the most up-to-date information on hunter education, cpw.state.co.us/HunterEd

converted to a buck only hunt. See page 21.

» PRONGHORN

UNIT 48 OPEN TO PRONGHORN RIFLE HUNTING... Healthy pronghorn

and harvest, GMUs 49, 50, 500 and 501 have become a new hunt code
and GMUs 39 and 46 split into another hunt code. See pages 54-55.

» BEAR

NEW HUNT IN UNIT 61... A robust bear population in GMU 61 has al-

lowed for the opening of a new bear hunt in the unit. To participate in
this bear season, hunters must have an elk license for the same unit and
season. The licenses for this hunt will be valid on public or private land
and will be sold over-the-counter with caps with the like license requirement. Those hunters who have purchased a concurrent regular rifle bear
license are not allowed to hunt in the early season. See page 59.

PRIVATE-LAND ONLY BEAR HUNTS ADDED... Private-land only hunts

have been added to GMUs 15, 27, 181 and 371 within Middle Park to
help reduce urban conflicts. These private land hunts will help reduce
bear damage and increase harvest opportunity. See page 58.

Show Your Pride, Colorado Style

Display your pride and support for wildlife conservation by purchasing a Colorado Sportsmen’s License Plate for your vehicle. The
plate’s simple message, “Hunters and Anglers Fund Conservation,”
is a great way to educate others about the important role sportsmen
play in wildlife conservation. Hunters and anglers fund more than
70 percent of Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s annual budget, which
helps to protect critical habitat and manage 960 wildlife species.
The plates may be ordered at statewide DMV offices. For further
information, visit: cpw.state.co.us/Sportsmen-Plate

2016 Colorado
Big GameYOU
Hunting NEED TO BUY A LICENSE
WHAT

LICENSES

1. Current and valid photo ID (see page 18)
2. Proof of hunter education (see requirements below)
3. For residents, proof of residency (see page 18)
4. A 2016 Habitat Stamp (see requirements below)
5. Social Security Number is required for new customers ages 12 and older

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

1. Hunters must have a license to hunt. Sign it and carry the original with you while hunting.
2. A hunter may hunt only the animal, sex, season, units and method of take authorized by

the license. Complete season dates may not be printed on the license because of space
constraints. Check the details in this brochure for your specific license.
3. It is illegal to give false information to obtain a license. It also is illegal to alter a license
or to loan, transfer, sell or give your license to someone else.
4. If you lose or destroy your license, a duplicate is available for half the price of the
original license, but not more than $25. You can get a duplicate before the season
opens from any license agent. After the season begins, duplicate licenses are available
only at CPW locations.
5. Licenses expire on the expiration date printed on the license.
6. Nonresidents can continue to use their combo fishing license after harvesting a biggame animal, as long as the carcass tag is the only part of the license that has been
detached. The rest of the license must remain intact.

HUNTER EDUCATION (SAFETY) REQUIREMENTS
1. The apprentice license is a one-year waiver of hunter

education requirements. See page 1

2. One-time test-out option available for hunters 50 and

older or U.S. military personnel. See page 1

3. Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1949, must have a hunter

education card to hunt in Colorado.

4. A hunter education card is needed to apply for

or buy a license. It must be carried while hunting
(unless previously verified — marked with a “V”
as shown at right).
• To get verified, take your hunter education card to a CPW office.
5. CPW honors hunter education cards from other states and provinces.
6. For information and to find hunter education courses, visit: cpw.state.co.us/HunterEd

HABITAT STAMP

1. Anyone ages 18-64 MUST purchase a Habitat Stamp in order to buy or
apply for a preference point or for a hunting or fishing license.

2. Habitat Stamps are $10 and are nonrefundable. One is required per

person per year, valid April 1-March 31. A lifetime stamp is $300.25.

3. Hunters ages 18-64 applying for a limited license must purchase a 2016 Habitat Stamp to
apply in the drawing process. To purchase a stamp with your draw application, include
$10 in addition to your license fee when sending your application. If applying online, it
will be added automatically, if needed. Paper applications submitted for hunters who do
not have a Habitat Stamp will be disqualified from the draw.
4. EXEMPTIONS: Anyone with a free lifetime fishing license, a veteran’s lifetime
combination small-game hunting and fishing license, or those approved for the BigGame Mobility Impaired Hunting Program are exempt.
See cpw.state.co.us/Accessibility for details.

PREFERENCE POINT FEES
» HOW IT WORKS. If you do not hold an active 2015 annual* or big-game license, or
do not receive a license through the draw, you will be charged $40 PER SPECIES (for
elk, deer, pronghorn and bear) for which you get a preference point. This fee applies
to residents and nonresidents. However, residents getting deer or pronghorn preference points will be charged only $30 for each of those.
For example: If a nonresident (who isn’t exempt from the fee) receives a point for
all four species, they will be charged $160. A resident would be charged $140.
» HOW TO AVOID IT. If you don’t want to pay the fee, you have until March 31, 2016,
to purchase a 2015 annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game, or resident senior fishing license.
» HOW WILL I BE CHARGED FOR IT? If you are charged the preference-point fee,
it will be deducted from your 2016 big-game application refund(s). For example, if
you’re a resident and apply for a deer license or preference point and don’t draw (and
you are not exempt from the fee) you will receive a $1 refund.
* ANNUAL LICENSES INCLUDE: annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game, or resident senior fishing license. Any returned licenses do not qualify.

LICENSES

LANDOWNER PREFERENCE PROGRAM
ATTENTION: As of the 2015 license year, all previous versions of landowner preference have been replaced with the Landowner Preference Program
(LPP). The Priority Preference Program, Pilot Program and Regular Landowner applications are no longer accepted.

FOR LANDOWNERS:

1. Deer, elk and pronghorn licenses (in units

that are totally limited for all rifle licenses)
are allocated to deeded landowners who
own at least 160 contiguous acres of private
agricultural land.
(Further qualifications apply – see website.)
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
» GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as a
voucher valid for a specific hunt code. An
additional 10 percent of the public quota
may be issued as a private-land-only voucher.
» GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as
a voucher valid for a specific hunt code.
An additional 10 percent of the public
quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher and may only be transferred to a
youth or an immediate family member.
3. LPP applications are drawn just before
CPW’s public limited drawing. Successful
landowners receive a voucher for each
winning hunt code. Landowners will
be notified at the same time as public
applicants.
4. The deadline to register for 2016 has passed.
Registrations for 2017 may be submitted

MORE ABOUT THE LANDOWNER
PREFERENCE PROGRAM ONLINE
cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner
through Dec. 1, 2016, at the web address
listed above. Registrations are valid for up
to five (5) years.

FOR HUNTERS:

1. The landowner or designated land manager

must transfer the voucher directly to the
hunter. A voucher that has been transferred
by any person who is not the landowner
or designated land manager is void. A
voucher that is brokered for another person
is void. A hunting license obtained for use
with a void voucher is also void. No person
shall broker a voucher on behalf of any
landowner or person, or use or possess any
brokered voucher.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the
hunter’s name is written on the voucher, or
the landowner or designated land manager
hands (or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred
one time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the

voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to
another hunter, even if the voucher has not
been redeemed for a license.
5. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you
can legally have the license before acquiring
a landowner voucher. List A, B or C is
printed on the voucher. See pages 17, 19, 33
and 48 for details.
6. The transfer of a voucher by a landowner
or designated land manager must include
permission to access and hunt all of the

CPW expanded youth
hunting by giving kids
more opportunities
to harvest big-game
animals.
Former late-season
elk hunts for youths
are now an extended
season, offering youths a
chance to pursue either
antlerless deer or elk
during any rifle season
open to antlerless hunts.
Youths may also still
hunt pronghorn does
during December.

DEER AND ELK HUNTS IN 2016

1. CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youths may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youths may hunt only the same species
that is on their original license.
2. CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT

If a youth does not fill their original limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license
— whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or rifle hunting — they may continue to hunt during any
of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure (except for Ranching For Wildlife). They must hunt within
areas specified on the maps on page 6 and there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and
season they wish to hunt.
3. PLAN AHEAD

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youths must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 6 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license in the right area.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES

When participating in the extended season, youths MUST follow all the rules of hunting during
the rifle season, including wearing blaze orange and using a method of take allowed in rifle season.
Youths must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

for the youth extended season
and the corresponding units

PURCHASING &amp; CONVERTING LICENSES
» Youths must purchase their original license through the draw, from the
leftover licenses list.
» Either-sex elk licenses must be converted at a CPW office if the original
license is unfilled and the youth wishes to continue hunting an antlerless animal.
» Over-the-counter archery licenses, OTC whitetail licenses, any antlered
licenses, and either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may NOT be converted
to participate in the extended season.

BIG GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTHS

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Youths must be at least 12 and meet hunter

education requirements.

2. Youths must have an unfilled limited antler-

less deer, antlerless elk or either-sex elk license
after their original season ends. Then they may
participate in any open rifle antlerless deer or
elk hunt that begins after the last day of the
season listed on their original license. (Does
not include Ranching For Wildlife.)
Youths may hunt in the areas specified on
the maps (page 6), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
3. Youths with an unfilled either-sex elk license
must take the original license to a CPW office
to have it converted to an antlerless license
before hunting any extended seasons.
4. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also meets hunter
education requirements. Youths and mentors
must be able to see and hear each other while
hunting. Mentors can hunt only if they have
a current license valid for the same units and
dates when the youth will be hunting.
5. Youths must follow all applicable regulations
for any hunts and units they select during the

extended season, including season dates and
geographic restrictions.
6. Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses
and either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not
be converted for extended youth hunting.
AGE REQUIREMENTS

1. Youths ages 12-17 are offered reduced-cost

licenses for deer, elk and pronghorn.

2. At age 11, youths can buy or apply for a license

if they turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youths cannot hunt with the license
until they turn 12.
3. Youths who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
late season hunt. Youth hunting rules still apply,
even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
4. Youths cannot apply for a youth limited license
if they turn 18 on or before Feb. 12 this year.
Youths must be 12-17 at time of purchase to buy
a youth unlimited or leftover license.
YOUTH DRAW PREFERENCE
1. A minimum of 15 percent of limited licenses
for doe pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex
deer and antlerless elk for each GMU shall

be available for youths ages 12-17 who meet
hunter education requirements.
These licenses are available by drawing for
all seasons and methods of take — including
early and late rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn
by youths are available to the public. (The Air
Force Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife
hunts are excluded from this.)
2. Youth hunt codes in GMUs 55, 66, 67 and 551
have been replaced with a youth preference set
at 50 percent for all antlerless deer licenses in
those GMUs.
3. Group applications are not accepted.
4. If youths enter more than one hunt code on their
application, all hunt codes must qualify for youth
preference.
YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES
Youth Outreach licenses are offered for deer,
elk and pronghorn to qualified organizations
sponsoring youth hunting activities. Application
procedures are on the CPW website,

WHERE TO HUNT
ELK AND DEER?

» Youths may hunt in any area on

the map within the red boundary that also contains the unit
for which they purchased their
original license. (Units with
lines through them are not open
to extended-season hunting.)
» Youths may only hunt the
extended season when an open
antlerless rifle hunt is going on
in the unit they choose to hunt.

FOR EXAMPLE...
» An original license is purchased
in the draw for a youth to hunt
either-sex elk in unit 49 during
archery season.

» The youth does not harvest

during archery season and
takes the tag to a CPW office
to convert it to antlerless.

» The youth, accompanied
by a mentor, may continue
to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this
brochure for units 49, 57
or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in
the unit the youth wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts,
or look at the list of acceptable
hunts online at cpw.state.co.us/
youthhunting.

»

DEER EXTENDED SEASON OPEN TO YOUTHS

» If the youth wishes to continue

hunting in unit 49, he or she may
hunt Oct. 22-30, Nov. 5-13, or
Nov. 16-20. He or she may also
hunt in units 57 or 58 from Oct.

Nov. 16-20, or on private land
only during the late season Sept.
26-Jan. 31, 2017.
Why Sept. 26? The original
archery season (Aug. 27-Sept. 25)
must be over before the youth can
begin hunting the late rifle season.

» During the extended season,

the youth may use any method
of take allowed during rifle
season. See page 16.

ELK, DEER, PRONGHORN

]

To expand quality opportunities
to big-game hunters, the Colorado
Parks and Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid” drawing for select elk,
deer, pronghorn and bear licenses.
The purpose of the drawing is to
give hunters additional opportunity
to draw a license for some of the
state’s premier deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear hunting areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to
draw these licenses now have a slight
chance to draw a small number of
the most coveted licenses through
this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses
may not have any remaining for the
Hybrid Drawing.)

HOW IT WORKS

]

HYBRID DRAWING
HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS
Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the Hybrid Draw must meet
the following criteria and chose from
the hunt codes listed at right as their
first choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of

five preference points for the species they wish to hunt to participate in the Hybrid Drawing.

2. Hunters must apply individu-

ally (group applications are not
accepted).

3. Hunt codes that contain a “W” are

Ranching for Wildlife properties. These hunts are for Colorado
residents only.

In hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw
(based on a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), 20 percent of the
available licenses will be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt
codes (listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species
will automatically enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
» Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid Drawing lose all
of their preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be
awarded one point.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES
HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species. (D = deer, E = elk,
2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you

want to hunt. (M = male, F = female and E = either sex)

3. THE THIRD PART, THREE NUMBERS, designates the unit you want to

hunt. (001 = Unit 1, 201 = Unit 201, etc.; 000 = multiple units). If more
than one unit is valid, only the lowest unit number will show.

HUNT CODE

4. THE FOURTH PART, A LETTER AND A NUMBER, indicates hunt dates.

For example, O1 = first season, O2 = second season, O3 = third season
and so on. P is for private-land-only hunts followed by the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early season, L1 = late season, K2, K3 =
youth only hunts. There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife and S
for a split unit or season choice license.

For example,
this hunt code is
for: A deer hunt,
for either-sex, in
unit 38, during
the first season
for archery.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODE TABLES IN THIS BROCHURE

HUNT TABLES SHOW THE LIMITED LICENSES AVAILABLE. These are
available through the draw or as leftover licenses. (Some hunt tables in the bear section include
hunt codes for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.)
1. THE TITLE on the top of each table describes the big-game species and method of take for

the hunt codes within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to hunt.
Tables are color coded the same throughout the brochure.

2. THE UNIT COLUMN is where you will look next to locate the game management unit you

wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one unit only,
while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will read,
“SEE UNIT.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt. For
example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at right.

3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it is
PRIVATE LAND ONLY or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled private land, you

should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that license.

4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please look

at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. THE SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt code.

Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is related to a certain hunt code may have changed since the previous year.

OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A DOT ( • ) In the UNIT column indicates there is a

special note about that unit, displayed below the hunt
code information. As shown with unit 40 above.

2. AN ASTERISK ( * ) In the SEX column indicates units

APPLICATIONS

HOW TO FILL OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS
Hunters may apply online or with the paper applications found in the center of this brochure. Nonresidents
applying for moose MUST use paper applications. Follow the steps below to correctly fill out paper applications.

!

TIPS FOR FILLING OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS
» USE ONLY APPLICATIONS IN THE CENTER OF THIS BROCHURE. Photocopies and sample applications below are not accepted. Do

not cut or fold applications. Remove stubs.

» USE CAPITAL LETTERS AND STAY COMPLETELY WITHIN THE BOXES. Print clearly. Use black ballpoint pen only. Do not use correction
tape or fluid or write over errors. Either get a new application or scratch out the error and write above it without interfering with other boxes.
» REVIEW YOUR APPLICATION. Incorrect applications are disqualified and no preference points are awarded. Photocopy your
application for your records. If applying online, print or save your receipt, it is your only record of what you applied for.
» MAKE A MISTAKE? If you’ve already turned in your application but made a mistake on it, corrections must be made online by
April 11. An effort will be made to complete every request, however CPW cannot guarantee that all requests can be accommodated. Due
to time constraints, CPW cannot confirm that your correction has been made. For more information, visit cpw.state.co.us/bg/corrections.

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE

HOW PREFERENCE POINTS WORK
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED to

hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice
hunt code for big-game species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code. Hunters who
make an application error, including on
first-choice hunt codes, do not get a point.
2. YOUTHS can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE
LICENSE, all accumulated preference points

for that species become void and return to zero.
4. IF UNSUCCESSFUL for a first choice, your
accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover-drawing application or
other-choice license.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a
first-choice license. If you fail to apply for or
have not purchased a license during a 10-year
period, all accumulated points for that species
are purged from your record and become void.
6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
section below.
8. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-

counter and leftover hunts don’t use or
generate points.
9. $40 PREFERENCE POINT FEE. Hunters will
be automatically assessed $40 per species
($30 for resident deer and pronghorn) for a
preference point unless they have purchased
one of the following: an annual fishing, smallgame, resident combination small-game and
fishing, furbearer or a big-game license in the
previous year; or a current limited license in
the draw for the same species for which they
seek a point.
The point fee is waived for youths, lifetime
license holders, free senior annual fishing
license holders and residents who are in the
military on active duty outside Colorado.
10. WEIGHTED PREFERENCE increases your
probability of drawing a moose license. It
is calculated by converting your application
number into a different application number,
then dividing that new number by the
amount of weighted points you have, plus
one. This generates another new application
number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest and low
numbers for each hunt code are awarded
licenses.
You can have a maximum of three
points for moose. If you have three and

Specific preference-point hunt codes are
listed at the front of each species section in
this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice
on your application automatically awards
you a point, if eligible. You can choose
other hunt codes as your second, third or
fourth choices.
Do not submit a separate application for
preference points or both applications will
be disqualified.
You must pay the full cost of a license
and meet all requirements even if only
applying for a point. If only applying for a
point, your money, minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is
refunded. An additional $40 ($30 resident
deer or pronghorn) may be deducted if
you don’t meet the criteria under No. 9 in
“How Preference Points Work.”
you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
receive weighted preference for moose.

11. PREFERENCE POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Points are awarded for specific

species, not by hunt codes, sex, unit(s),
season(s) or method of take.
12. ACTIVE DUTY U.S. MILITARY stationed
in Colorado or who claim Colorado as their
home of residence and are deployed outside
the U.S. are eligible, when they return home,
to apply for preference points for any limited
license drawings they missed while deployed.
Applications will be available at the end of July.

HOW TO APPLY AS A GROUP
1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications for any

number of people are accepted for all biggame species in this brochure except moose.
Group applications entering the draw for
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear licenses have
priority based on the group member with
the fewest preference points. Group members must apply for the same species, hunt
code, unit, geographic restrictions, season
and method of take for each choice, but may
apply for a different sex. All group members must have the same hunt code choices
on their applications (other than sex). Each
member must list the same first-choice
hunt code and the same number of other
hunt-code choices. These choices MUST be
in the same order on all group applications.

If anyone in the group makes an application
error or doesn’t pay the correct amount,
everyone in the group is disqualified.
2. CHOOSE A LEADER: One person must be
the group leader. If there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the
applications the leader’s choices are used.
3. ENTER LEADER CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members — includ-

ing the leader — must enter the same CID
number in the group application box to be entered as a group. If the leader has no CID, they
must call CPW to get one. All group members
must use the same person as the leader.

4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES:

Each hunter’s application must be submitted
separately. Groups are assigned a number. If

that number is selected in the draw, everyone in the group gets a license. If the group is
selected and there aren’t enough licenses for
everyone, the group will not get licenses. If
the group includes resident and nonresident
applicants and the nonresident cap has been
met, the group will not get licenses. Group
applications are not accepted for the leftover
draw. Group members who choose the leftover draw will go through as individuals.

5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES:

If everyone in the group is successful for their
first choice, they all get a license and their
preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point.
Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to
each individual.

NOTE: If you like surprises and prefer to wait until you receive
your license in the mail, make sure you open it immediately and
verify that all information is correct and that you are familiar
with all of the restrictions related to the species and unit(s) you
will be hunting.

FIELD INFORMATION AND REFERENCE

TOOLS, TIPS AND RESOURCES FOR HUNTING COLORADO

BIG-GAME SPECIES IDENTIFICATION
TIPS FOR IDENTIFYING ANIMALS
1. ID FIRST, TRIGGER FINGER SECOND. Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your binoculars, not your

rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your finger on the trigger.

2. STUDY THE BODY. There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s antlers, study the entire head and body

of an animal before you shoot. This will help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.

3. WATCH FOR BABIES. When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk. Young moose have a reddish coat,

similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.

4. MAKE A MISTAKE? Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic. Call the local district wildlife man-

ager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.

ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid
accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas of the state, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since
both types of deer have the same general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The
primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

MULE DEER

TRAITS

» TAIL: rope-like tail with

WHITE-TAILED DEER

Switching from lead bullets may be the right
option for you. For more, go to the CPW link
above.
Science tells us ingesting lead can cause potential health problems.
Risks are low for most
people, however, you
can also:

1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by
the bullet when you process an animal. Fragments can scatter far from the wound.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal.
Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating a batch of ground meat.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

66, 67, 444, 471 and 551. From March 15-May 15, these areas are closed to shed hunting only from sunset to 10 a.m.

RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW)

Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to
Colorado residents by drawing. Licenses are valid only for
the season and ranch specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters
who draw a public license for their ranch. By applying for
a RFW license, hunters allow CPW to provide applicant
information to the ranch.
Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch rules
on the CPW website at cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/
RFW.aspx before applying.

GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS

Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and
insured in Colorado. They also need permits to operate
on public land and must register with the Office of Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO
80202, (303) 894-7778; www.dora.state.co.us/outfitters.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES

Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are
available to hunters ages 12-21 with a terminal illness or lifethreatening disease or injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between
Aug. 15 and Jan. 31 each year. Licenses are not offered in
units with at least one hunt code that requires 10 or more
resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching For
Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written
permission from the landowner to hunt on private land.
Sponsoring organizations must request licenses in writing
and document the life-threatening or terminal condition,
hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to CPW, Hunter Outreach
Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to
estimate harvest, hunter numbers and recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call
or email, asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal,
if you were satisfied with your experience and if you saw
overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not required, but responding — even if you didn’t
hunt or harvest — is an important part of setting future
seasons and license numbers.
If contacted, you can take the survey online at
colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free phone number
1-855-924-4278.
The survey runs 24 hours daily, October through midFebruary. See the CPW website for details.

HUNT SMART, STAY SAFE
VIDEO: LEGAL EXAMPLES
OF WEARING ORANGE

HUNTERS MUST WEAR
DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE

bit.ly/coloradobiggame

Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT
ORANGE material on an outer garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or
moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle
season. Archers hunting during a limited bear season or archers hunting with an archery bear, deer,
elk, pronghorn or moose license do not have to wear fluorescent orange but should consider wearing
it to increase safety while in the field. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear orange
when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display
orange that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.

REFERENCE

CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE DOES NOT QUALIFY! Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly
recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is for
hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange like we do. Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)
All off-highway
vehicles operated
in Colorado on
public lands or if
traveling on an
OHV-designated
route must have
a valid Colorado
OHV registration
or a Colorado OHV permit (except on private
property).
Registrations/Permits are $25.25, valid
April 1-March 31. OHV Permits (applicable
for nonresidents and street legal/plated vehicles)
are online at cpw.state.co.us/bg/OHVpermit, at
CPW locations and license agents. Questions,
call (303) 791-1920. Renewal registrations are
available online and at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers must be done in person
or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management
agency for their current motor vehicle-use
rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications
and hours, and agency maps. Most areas do not
allow off-trail game retrieval w/any motorized
vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of
OHV misuse on public lands, please report it to
any law enforcement officer in that area.

MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE
WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS units
are encouraged to mark the
location of their harvest in the
field.
This is especially important for hunters who harvest
a bear or moose.
During mandatory
inspections, hunters will be
asked to give a location of
their harvest. Having GPS
coordinates makes reporting
simple and precise.
Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal and save the
UTM or longitude and latitude coordinates.
Bring that information to record on the check
report at harvest inspections.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1.

WHAT IS IT?

Chronic wasting disease
(CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and
moose. It causes animals to
become emaciated, display
abnormal behavior and
eventually die. Infected
animals can show no signs
of illness. State and federal
health experts say CWD is
not likely transmissible to
humans.

2.

WHERE IS IT?

The map in the back of
this brochure highlights
game management units
in red where CWD has
been detected.
CWD has been found
in several regions in
Colorado, as well as other
states and provinces. In
this state, infection rates
appear higher in males and
older animals. Details are
available online.

�REFERENCE

» If convicted of these felony violations, you can
face a lifetime license suspension:
1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big
game. It is illegal to remove only hide, antlers
or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in
the field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell
or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.

IT IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW TO:

6. Establish a permanent structure or plant vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters. Only
portable blinds and tree stands for big-game
hunting can be erected on CPW land, and no
longer than 30 days prior to the season they
will be used. No nails can be driven into trees.
Man-made materials for blinds or stands must
be removed within 10 days after the season they
are used ends. Owner’s Customer Identification Number and dates of use must be visible
on outside of portable blinds or underside of
tree stands. Placement of blinds or stands does
not reserve them for personal use, they may be
used on first-come, first-served basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release
an arrow disregarding human life or property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with
a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle,
off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to
hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the
ground or to hunt the same day or day after a
flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted
remote technology while hunting or fishing.
This includes unmanned or remote-control
drones used to look for wildlife. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.

HUNT ETHICALLY &amp; RESPONSIBLY
cpw.state.co.us/BG/brochure

13. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
14. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or
harass wildlife.
15. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
16. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and
kill animals you wound or may have wounded.
It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from landowner or person
in charge.
17. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare
edible wildlife meat for human consumption.
At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins
and backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs
are not.
18. Shoot from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle,
handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be
at least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.
19. Party hunt (kill someone else’s game or let
someone kill yours).
20. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by
using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by
vehicle; throwing objects; making movements;
harassing hunters by using threats or actions;
erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas and intentionally injecting yourself into the
line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may
have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
21. For two or more people on the ground, in a
vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to
communicate information that violates any
wildlife law or regulation.
22. Use dogs or bait to hunt bear, deer, elk,
pronghorn or moose. Bait means to put, expose,
distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
23. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more
cubs. A cub is a bear less than a year old.
24. Hunt bears in their dens.
25. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears
or mountain lions without a valid hunting license
or unless authorized by CPW.
26. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter
bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
27. Hunt on private land without first obtaining
permission from landowner or person in charge.
28. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not
under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
29. Use State Land Board properties not leased and
signed by CPW without permission of lessee.

BAG LIMITS &amp; TAGGING
1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one appli-

cation in the drawing per species, per license year.

2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and

possession limit is the total number of animals you
can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
January and February seasons set as part of the
previous license year’s seasons fall under that year’s
bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt
code determines the maximum number of licenses a
hunter can obtain per year for that species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on your big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote
does not void your big-game license.

REFERENCE

4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun
in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles
are considered unloaded if the percussion cap
or shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder
is removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone
to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle unless the
chamber is unloaded or the battery is disconnected and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV
during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and
magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed
in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not
apply to landowners or their agents who carry a
firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife
on property they own or lease.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

2016 Colorado Big Game Hunting

CARCASS TAGS

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must be immediately signed,
dated, detached from the license and attached to the
carcass of the animal — not to detached hides, horns,
antlers or carried separately. Tags must stay on until
meat is processed and remain with meat until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag,
you must get a duplicate from a CPW office before
hunting and prove the loss, detachment or destruction
was accidental. Do not remove other parts of a license
except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the
license and you must buy a duplicate.
If you have a nonresident big game/fishing combo
license, the fishing license is valid after the carcass tag
is detached, as long as the rest of the license is intact.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is
illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD
testing, leave evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:

A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns at-

tached to carcass; or testicle, scrotum or penis
attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva
attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis.
Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate
evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence
of sex needs to be attached to a quarter or another
major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds of meat or
after the carcass is cut into processed meat, wrapped
and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
TIP! If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers less

than 5 inches long, it can be considered “antlerless”.
But what do you do about evidence of sex?
1) Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to prove it meets the requirement.
2) Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass and then you can detach the head or skull plate
and carry it out with the antlers intact.

RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS

Requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must live in Colorado at least six consecutive months immediately before
applying for or buying a license AND must intend to make Colorado home
(except No. 3 and No. 4 below). The residence address you give to buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. A valid Colorado driver’s license or other secure and verifiable ID is
proof of residency if it was issued at least six months prior to buying a
hunting license. If your ID or driver’s license was issued or renewed less
than 6 months prior to purchasing a hunting license, you must provide
documentation that proves you have been a resident for the required sixmonth period. Suspended driver’s licenses are not valid.
3. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active
duty in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents. This
includes people who were Colorado residents when they entered the military and keep Colorado as their home of record, and their dependents
(with Colorado as their home of record). Also included are personnel of
the U.S. Diplomatic Service or diplomatic services of nations recognized
by the U.S. assigned to Colorado on permanent active duty orders and
their dependents. Active duty military does not include reserve status,
National Guard or government contractors.
4. Full-time students enrolled and attending an accredited Colorado college,
university or trade school at least six months immediately before applying
for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily absent
from Colorado but still enrolled. Colorado residents who attend school full
time, out of state and pay nonresident tuition qualify for a resident license.
5. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal
guardian or person with whom they live most of the time per court order.
6. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call (303) 297-1192
to make sure you comply with Colorado residency requirements before
obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
7. Except as in No. 3 and No. 4 above, you lose your Colorado residency
if you apply for, buy or accept a hunting or fishing license as a resident
of another state or country; register to vote outside Colorado or get a
driver’s license using an address in another state.

SECURE AND VERIFIABLE IDENTIFICATION

As required by the state’s “Secure and Verifiable Identity Document Act,”
residents and nonresidents buying or applying for hunting or fishing licenses
must show secure and verifiable ID. For a list of acceptable and unacceptable
documentation, go to the CPW website at
cpw.state.co.us/SecureAndVerifiableInfo

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support
Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

FELONY OFFENSES AND WEAPONS

Colorado and federal law prohibits people convicted of certain crimes, such as
domestic violence, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been
convicted of a crime, check with the appropriate law enforcement authorities to
find out how these laws apply to you.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES

Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at CPW locations, on the website or call (303) 297-1192.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters

18

with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment
resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically
impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with license
fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216. Applications accepted from the Monday after the Parks and Wildlife Commission
meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first-come,
first-served until unit and program caps are reached.

REFERENCE

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less)
must accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns,
or must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments
must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season
and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on
the meat, voiding both licenses.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept.
of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to
www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Agriculture-Main/CDAG/1216022453427.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot big-game animals with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.

HUNTERS USING HORSES

You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses need a Coggins blood test
for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call Colorado
State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may require
brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303) 869-9160.

TURN IN POACHERS (TIPs) PROGRAM

TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers.
Awards can be a preference point or license. TIPs licenses do not count toward
annual bag and possession limits. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/TIPS for more.

lands for big game hunting is available through
the 4UR ranch by permit during rifle seasons
only. Hunters must possess a valid GMU 76 rifle elk or rifle deer license. Hunters are selected
by random drawing. Application deadline;
August 15. Permits not issued by draw will be
issued on a first request basis. For information
or a permit application, call the CPW Monte
Vista Office at (719) 587-6900.

*unless otherwise noted in the brochure tables

The term “combined season”
refers to the rifle seasons when
both deer and elk hunters are in
the field at the same time.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter D-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another year.
You can use your second through fourth choices
on the same application to apply for a license.
Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters
may be charged $40 (or $30 for resident applicants) if you don’t meet the criteria for a free
preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work”
on page 12.

TABLE SYMBOLS

» AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the “Sex” column
indicates units that had licenses left after last
year’s drawing.
» A PLUS ( + ) in the “Sex” column is for hunt
codes for which an average of a least six preference points are needed for a Colorado resident
to draw that license. This is only an average
and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the
2009 drawing.

WHITETAIL ONLY — OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES

LATE RIFLE SEASON

]

]

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed
deer in the area, and hunters can expect to
see more mule deer than white-tailed deer
when hunting in these GMUs.

DEER

WHERE ARE THE WHITETAILS
FOUND IN THIS SEASON?

EITHER-SEX LICENSES AVAILABLE

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be
most commonly found along lower elevation river bottoms.
Hunters should focus on these areas to
most consistently find white-tailed deer.
Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission
is required prior to hunting.

DATES: Dec. 1-31
LIST: B
VALID UNITS:

48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140,
481, 511, 561, 581, 591, 691, 851 except
Bosque del Oso SWA, and 861
These licenses are sold only at CPW offices
and state parks that sell hunting licenses.
Hunters will receive more information about
whitetail identification when a license is purchased. These are unlimited in number and
go on sale starting at 9 a.m. July 26.

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE
CAN I USE?

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange
requirements (see page 15), regardless of the
type of weapon used.
Some public properties prohibit the use
of rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property regulations to determine what types of
weapons are legal before going afield.

ATTENTION HUNTERS: Whitetails are at
low density populations in this area and are
mostly found on private land.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO
IDENTIFY A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

»

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and
brown from top to bottom with a white
fringe.
Mule deer have a white rump patch and tail,
with a black tip on the tail.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAILS VS. MULE DEER

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT
THE ANTLERS?

Antlers differ between the species, but are
not a reliable distinguishing characteristic
between white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER
ACCIDENTALLY?

Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetailonly license.
However, accidents happen. Please
report any mistaken kills immediately to the
nearest CPW office (listed in the front of this
brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area.
See the “Accidental Kill” section on page
18 for more details.

30

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

» PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The
first thing to look for is the tail. It’s broad and
brown with white fringe; all white when tail is up.

» TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

» ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three
to five tines pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer
with small antlers may appear to have similar antler
formation!

» ANTLERS: fork and fork again, usually
very evenly, on older males
» EARS: large in proportion to head on

NEED TO KNOW

» NEW! 4UR RANCH ACCESS EASEMENT
(UNIT 76).... Limited public access to USFS
lands for big game hunting is available through
the 4UR ranch by permit during rifle seasons
only. Hunters must possess a valid GMU 76 rifle
elk or rifle deer license. Hunters are selected by
random drawing. Application deadline; August
15. Permits not issued by draw will be issued on
a first request basis. For information or a permit
application, call the CPW Monte Vista Office at
(719) 587-6900.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another
year. You can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a
license. Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters may be charged $40 (or $30 for resident
applicants) if you don’t meet criteria for a free
preference point.
NONRESIDENTS must pay at least $469
to apply for an elk preference point, plus a
$10 Habitat Stamp fee. If your second, third
or fourth choice is for bull or either sex, or
if your unsuccessful option is an unlimited
bull license, you must pay $629, plus the $10
Habitat Stamp fee.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

»

TABLE SYMBOLS

» AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the “Sex” column
indicates units that had licenses remaining after
last year’s drawing.
» A PLUS ( + ) in the “Sex” column is for hunt
codes for which an average of a least six preference points are needed for a Colorado resident
to draw that license. This is only an average
and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the
32 2009 drawing.

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT

1. Do not handle animals that are obviously
sick or found dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing
game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use
alcohol wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately afterward. Use hot soapy water, then disinfect
with a 10 percent chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature
of at least 165° F to kill disease organisms
and parasites. Juices from adequately
cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

TAXIDERMY
If you leave the head of your harvest with its antlers at a taxidermist,
you are encouraged to get a receipt
from the taxidermist — with date
delivered and a description of
the antlers — before you take the
carcass home or to a commercial
processor.

»

Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing or carrying disease that
could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health department or CPW office for information on wildlife
diseases where they plan to hunt. Public health
officials recommend the following precautions
when handling and preparing game meat:

Do your part to protect big-game habitat
Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to
Colorado and are capable of causing severe environmental
and economic harm. For example, a Montana study showed
that dense populations of spotted knapweed reduced available winter forage for elk by 50-90 percent. Elk use increased
almost four times after the plant infestations were controlled.

» COME CLEAN: Before leaving home, inspect your vehicles and belongings.

Equipment and vehicles can accidentally transport harmful
invasive species into and around
Colorado. Follow these
few simple steps to protect
big-game habitat and
stop the spread of harmful
invasive species!

and wood products. Buy firewood near where you intend to burn it. Don’t
transport firewood into Colorado from out of state. Burn all firewood
before leaving the campsite.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud from vehicles and equipment.

» USE WEED-FREE HAY: Use weed-free hay when horseback riding or using

hay for other purposes.

» USE LOCAL FIREWOOD: Invasive forest pests are transported in firewood

» LEAVE CLEAN: Before leaving, inspect your vehicle and belongings.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud. Brush hunting dogs and
other pets before leaving.

» CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY WATERCRAFT: Watercraft, including mo-

tors and trailers, should be clean, fully drained and allowed time
to completely dry in between each use.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY.
LEAVE NO TRACE

Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE... get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES... good campsites are found, not
made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY... pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND... sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use
signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS... use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE... never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash
securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS... be aware
of the direction you shoot and be courteous to others
you see.
This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership with the
Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information visit: www.LNT.org

The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands,
expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws,
and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.

NEED TO KNOW

» NEW! UNIT 48 OPEN TO PRONGHORN
RIFLE HUNTING... A healthy pronghorn

population in the area has allowed GMU
48 to open for rifle hunting, offering a great
public-land pronghorn hunting opportunity.
The rifle season is consistent with archery
and muzzleloader seasons for the unit See
page 51.
» ARCHERY. Only legal hand-held bows are
allowed in archery season. See page 16.
» MUZZLELOADING. Only legal muzzleloading rifles and smoothbore muskets are allowed
in muzzleloading season. See page 16.

»

DEFINITIONS

» SPECIES IDENTIFICATION. See page 13.
» BUCK: A male animal with horns at least 5
inches long from skull to tip, excluding a prong
or point between the base and tip. Bucks have a
black cheek patch.
» DOE: A female has no horns or black cheek
patch; young bucks with horns less than 5 inches
long and no black cheek patch also are in this
category. Fawns of either sex are considered does.

PREFERENCE POINTS

»

PRONGHORN

» EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

To apply for a point, enter A-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice
on your application to use another year. You can
use your second through fourth choices on the
same application to apply for a license. Submit
only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even for
a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 service fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded.
Hunters may also be charged $40 ($30 for
resident applicants) if you don’t meet the criteria
for a free preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work” on
page 12.

NEED TO KNOW

» NEW! COMBINED AREAS NOW SPLIT...

In an effort to improve opportunity and
harvest, GMUs 49, 50, 500 and 501 have
become a new hunt code and GMUs 39 and
46 another hunt code. See pages 54-55.
» BRAINARD LAKE RESTRICTIONS. There are
boundaries in place for hunting near Brainard
Lake. See the tables for details.
Unit 20 and 29 moose hunters: weekday
construction closures are planned for the Brainard Lake Road starting Oct. 2016.
» NONRESIDENTS must apply by paper
application.
» THE LIFETIME BAG LIMIT for antlered
moose is one. All licenses available by draw. If
you’ve harvested a bull, you may not apply for
an either-sex license.
» UNITS 1, 20, 29, 38, 39, 46, 201, 500 AND 501
have low density moose populations and some
moose habitat occurs on private land. Be sure
to get landowner permission before hunting on
private land.
» EXPERIMENTAL HUNTS OPEN. Units 48, 55,
56, 65, 68, 74, 75, 79, 481, 551, 561 and 681 have
low density moose populations and are subject
to modifications in coming years. Currently,
there is very little harvest history for these hunts
and any CPW guidance will be limited.

»

DEFINITIONS

» BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with
antlers at least 5 inches long.

!

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTIONS
Hunters must submit the head of antlerless moose or head of antlered moose
with antlers attached to a CPW office
during normal business hours.

1. ALL MOOSE LICENSE HOLDERS must

complete and return a harvest questionnaire provided by CPW within 30 days
after their hunting season ends.
Anyone who does not complete and
return it will not be eligible for a future
moose license or point, including those
who were unsuccessful or did not hunt.

2. ALL MOOSE MUST BE SUBMITTED IN
PERSON FOR INSPECTION within five

working days of harvest. A mandatory report will be completed during inspection.

3. TOOTH EXTRACTION IS MANDATORY.

An incisor will be extracted and retained
to determine age.
Heads must be unfrozen for inspection.

4. VOLUNTARY CWD TESTING. During in-

spection, hunters may choose to have their
moose tested for chronic wasting disease.
Testing cost is $25.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter M-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on
your application to use another year. You can use your
second choice on the same application to apply for a
license.
You must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. If you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp
fee, will be refunded.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE
WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
There are three species of big-game animals that
use the weighted preference point system to award
licenses in Colorado — moose, Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
Weighted preference increases your probability of
drawing and applies to both bull and cow licenses.
Here’s how it works:
Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will

receive weighted preference.
Weighted preference is calculated by converting
your application number into a different, random
application number, then dividing that new application number by the amount of weighted points you
have, plus one. Individuals with three preference
points and no weighted preference will have their
application number divided by one.
This generates another new application number.
Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.

BEAR

ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER, RIFLE

Black bear by © Joe Maskasky, CPW

]

» RIFLE BEAR SEASON CHANGES. Hunting
bear during the regular deer and elk seasons has
changed, giving hunters expanded opportunities.
Rules for the new “Concurrent Rifle” bear season
are explained on page 59.
These restrictions do not apply to the hunts
with hunt codes B-E-083-P1-R, B-E-084-P5-R,
B-E-048-P5-R, B-E-058-P5-R and B-E-059-P5-R.
» INSIDE DENS. Hunting, harvesting or harassing bears inside their dens is prohibited.
» CUBS. Black bears accompanied by one or
more cubs cannot be killed. Cubs — bears
younger than one year old — cannot be killed.

NEED TO KNOW

!

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS AND SEALS
Hunters must personally present bears to a
CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, the CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that a
tooth can be removed. Hunters can help by

making sure the jaw is propped open with a
stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after
the five-day period is illegal, and the hide
becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, (303) 342-7430. Do not call the
U.S Fish and Wildlife Service about inspections or seals for bears.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE BEAR LICENSE
ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application per species each year. Additional licenses for the
same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.
Hunt tables on the following pages show whether each bear license is List A, B or C.

As part of your mandatory bear harvest
inspection, a CPW wildlife officer will perform
a bear tooth extraction. Watch our video to see
how it is done.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another year.
You can use your second through fourth choices
on the same application to apply for a license.
Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters
may be charged $40 (or $30 for resident applicants) if you don’t meet the criteria for a free
preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work”
on page 12.

HOW TO GET THEM:
LIST A AND B: You may purchase ONE through the

draw, or ONE or BOTH as leftover licenses, at license
agents, CPW locations or online while supplies last.

LIST C: These are issued by CPW locations when available

OVER-THE-COUNTER
WITH CAPS LICENSES

Archery, muzzleloading and some rifle bear licenses are sold over the counter with a
cap on the number of licenses available. These are either-sex licenses.
These licenses are NOT available through the draw. If you apply for these hunt codes
in the draw, your application will be disqualified. Note: to participate in the over-thecounter with caps rifle bear season, a hunter must also hold a deer or elk license that
overlaps with that rifle bear tag by at least one day of the season. These licenses can be
purchased at license agents, by phone and online through Oct. 14. Then, they are only
available at CPW offices.
“With caps” means there are a preset number of these licenses available on a firstcome, first-served basis starting at 9 a.m. July 26. Get them at CPW locations, license
agents, via telephone at 1-800-244-5613 or online at cpw.state.co.us/bg/buyapply.
The Parks and Wildlife Commission sets the number of “with cap” licenses in May.

If

you’re a Colorado sportsman, hunting and fishing is more
than a hobby or pastime—it’s a way of life. It’s how you
connect with nature and, just as important, connect with
others who share your passion for Colorado’s wildlife and outdoor
heritage.
Now you can unite with other hunters and anglers in a display of
pride and support by purchasing a Colorado Sportsmen’s License
Plate for your vehicle.
Designed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the plates
feature bold imagery highlighted against the snowy backdrop of
the Rocky Mountains. Elk are silhouetted against a vibrant sunset
and a native greenback cutthroat trout is prominently displayed
front and center.
Best of all, the plate’s simple message, “Hunters and Anglers Fund
Conservation,” is a great way to educate others about the important

role sportsmen play in wildlife conservation. Hunters and anglers
fund more than 70 percent of CPW’s annual budget, which helps
to protect critical habitat and manage 960 wildlife species.
The plates may be ordered at statewide DMV offices beginning
Jan. 1, 2016. The annual renewal is $25 plus vehicle registration
fees. The proceeds from the plates go toward fish habitat, angling
access and the development of public shooting ranges.
Show your support by purchasing a Colorado Sportsmen’s
License Plate today.

ON THE COVER

Santino Castellanos
2015 Colorado
Big Game
harvested this buck
the weekend before
Thanksgiving in 2014,
during the rut in a lateseason hunt. After a
few days, he and some
friends spotted a group
of deer following a pattern they’d
seen in the days before.
“We moved into position as quick as
we could because we wanted to cut
these deer off. While this stalk started
to unfold, the snow started falling
harder and harder, almost white-out
conditions. Visibility became poor,
however, by the grace of God, my
buddy Levi noticed a body of a deer
moving through some of the oak
brush. With the wind blowing as
hard as it was and snow making our
footsteps less likely to be heard, I ran
as fast as I could to get in position of
this big-bodied deer that we were
certain was a buck. I took a knee and
waited for the deer to step out from
the brush. Sure enough, this was a
wide, mature buck.
“I am very thankful for the last few
years I have had and can hardly wait
for the fall again,” he said.
Santino is a Colorado native who
has been hunting since age 6. In
2011, he picked up a bow for the first
time. By 2012, he had a banner year,
harvesting nine animals with his bow
and starting an outdoor information
company, OuttaBounds.

WHAT’S NEW: 2015

» YOUTH HUNTING OPEN TO MORE SPECIES, MORE
SEASONS... Two regulation changes affect youth
cpw.state.co.us

hunting this year, expanding youth opportunity to
hunt around the state.
First, youths get at least 15 percent of the limited
licenses in every game management unit for doe
pronghorn, antlerless and either-sex deer and antlerless elk. This includes all methods of take and all
seasons, including early and late rifle seasons.
Second, youths no longer have to wait to hunt during a late season. Youths may purchase their original tag
to hunt deer or elk; if the season on their license ends
and an animal isn’t harvested, they may continue to
hunt in expanded areas during any of the rifle seasons.
See pages 5-7 for maps, detailed instructions and
purchasing the correct license to participate.

» LANDOWNER VOUCHER PROGRAM CHANGED... All

previous versions of landowner preference have been
replaced with the Landowner Preference Program. All
landowners and hunters using vouchers MUST follow
the new statutes and regulations. See page 4.

» LICENSES ON SALE OVER SEVERAL DAYS... There are

separate on-sale days this year, so plan ahead and apply
in the draw to get the license you want! Over-the-counter and over-the-counter with caps licenses go on sale
at 9 a.m. July 21. Leftover licenses go on sale at 9 a.m.
Aug. 4 in person and by phone and at midnight Aug. 5
online. See page 3.

NEW RULES IN UNIT 128... To help aid in the quality of

hunts, better manage the elk population east of I-25,
and address landowner concerns, a new hunt is in place
for GMU 128. The bull-only hunt runs for a shorter
time there than in the other plains units. See page 37.

NEW COW HUNT IN UNIT 61... A new hunt has been

opened during a late season for public land in GMU 61.
More hunting on public land should increase cow harvest, alleviate demands on landowners and reduce grazing pressure on mule deer winter ranges. See page 43.

NEW PRIVATE LAND HUNT... A new late hunt is open

that includes private land in unit 391 and private land
in the Jefferson County portion of unit 39. See page 42.

» DEER

NEW UNIT 65 BUCK HUNT... An early high-country sea-

son — above 11,000 feet — has been created to hunt
bucks in GMU 65 before they migrate. See page 26.

UNIT 41 BOUNDARY CHANGES... Boundaries for

select private-land archery hunts in unit 41 have been
expanded. See page 21.

NEW HUNTS... New hunts have been added for does in

units 55 and 551. There is also a new fourth-rifle buck
hunt in unit 201 and more fourth-rifle buck season
licenses available in Gunnison Basin units.

NEW LATE-SEASON PLAINS DOE TAGS... A late rifle

season for does has begun for units 103 and 109 near
the South Republican State Wildlife Area. See page 27.

» LIGHTED NOCKS, RECORDING DEVICES APPROVED
FOR ARCHERY HUNTING... Archers may now use

lighted nocks on arrows, which can help aid in recovery
of game animals. New rules are also in place that allow
recording devices to be mounted on a bow. Read what
is legal in “Legal Methods of Take.” See page 16.

» WILLIAMS FORK RFW ENDS... The Ranching For

Wildlife program at Williams Fork Ranch has ended.
Hunts are no longer available through this program.

» ANTLER COLLECTION... New restrictions are in place

for collecting shed antlers certain times of the year. This
helps minimize disturbance of animals on their winter
range in the Eagle and Roaring Fork valleys. See page 14.

» RETRIEVING GAME WITH DOGS... Regulations are

in development to allow hunters to retrieve some
wounded animals with dogs. This is anticipated to go
into effect before the 2015 big-game hunting season.
Updates will be online at cpw.state.co.us.

» FOREST SERVICE CLOSURES... Projects on National

Forest lands can impact access any time of the year.
The new “Land Closure” page has details, websites and
more Forest Service information. See page 60.

» LONG DRAW ROAD TO OPEN... Long Draw Road in

GMU 19 is expected to be open this year for hunting
seasons. Check the U.S. Forest Service updates at www.
fs.usda.gov/goto/r2/huntnfs-co.

» PRONGHORN

MUZZLELOADER SEASON MOVE... To be consistent

with other species dates, the pronghorn muzzleloader
season has been moved to Sept. 21-29. See page 50.

» MOOSE

CLOSURES IN UNITS 20, 29... Moose hunters apply-

ing for units 20 and 29 should note new restrictions
effective for the Brainard Lake Recreation Area. Before
applying, hunters may call (970) 472-4462 for information. See pages 53-55.

COMBINED AREAS NOW SPLIT... As moose populations

have grown in units 20, 29 and 38 in the last few years,
there are now enough moose in GMU 38 to support a
specific license for that unit.
Similarly, hunters can now choose between a cow license in unit 191 only; or choose a bull or cow license
for hunting in units 7, 8 and 191. See pages 54-55.

NEW HUNTS OPENED... Bull hunts in units 44 and 45 in

the Eagle River watershed, and cow hunts in the southwest units of 66 and 67 are among the new moose
hunts available this year. See pages 54-55.

» BEAR

NEW CONCURRENT RIFLE SEASON... There are numer-

ous changes to how and when you can hunt bear during
rifle elk and deer seasons. New rules expand your time
in the field and the ability to harvest a bear. See page 59.

ARCHERY SEASON EXTENDED... The season has been

extended to Sept. 30 to increase hunter success. See
page 58.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BUY A LICENSE

1. Current and valid photo ID (see page 18)
2. Proof of hunter education (see requirements below)
3. For residents, proof of residency (see page 18)
4. A 2015 Habitat Stamp (see requirements below)
5. Social Security Number is required for new customers ages 12 and older

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

1. Hunters must have a license to hunt. Sign it and carry the original with you while hunting.
2. A hunter may hunt only the animal, sex, season, units and method of take authorized by

the license. Complete season dates may not be printed on the license because of space
constraints. Check the details in this brochure for your specific license.
3. It is illegal to give false information to obtain a license. It also is illegal to alter a license
or to loan, transfer, sell or give your license to someone else.
4. If you lose or destroy your license, a duplicate is available for half the price of the
original license, but not more than $25. You can get a duplicate before the season
opens from any license agent. After the season begins, duplicate licenses are available
only at CPW locations.
5. Licenses expire on the expiration date printed on the license.
6. Nonresidents can continue to use their combo fishing license after harvesting a biggame animal, as long as the carcass tag is the only part of the license that has been
detached. The rest of the license must remain intact.

HUNTER EDUCATION (SAFETY) REQUIREMENTS

1. Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1949, must have a hunter

education card to hunt in Colorado.

2. A hunter education card is needed to apply for or buy a

license. It must be carried while hunting (unless previously verified — marked with a “V” as shown at right).
• To get verified, take your hunter education card to a
CPW office.
3. CPW honors hunter education cards from other
states and provinces.
4. For information, go to www.bit.ly/COHunterEd.
5. Hunter education course schedules are online at cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/
HE-InternetBasedCourses.aspx.

HABITAT STAMP

1. Anyone ages 18-64 MUST purchase a Habitat Stamp in order to buy or
apply for a preference point or for a hunting or fishing license.

2. Habitat Stamps are $10 and are nonrefundable. One is required per

person per year, valid April 1-March 31. A lifetime stamp is $300.25.

3. Hunters ages 18-64 applying for a limited license must purchase a 2015 Habitat Stamp to
apply in the drawing process. To purchase a stamp with your draw application, include
$10 in addition to your license fee when sending your application. If applying online, it
will be added automatically, if needed. Paper applications submitted for hunters who do
not have a Habitat Stamp will be disqualified from the draw.
4. EXEMPTIONS: Anyone with a free lifetime fishing license, a veteran’s lifetime combination small-game hunting and fishing license, or those approved for the Big-Game
Mobility Impaired Hunting Program are exempt. See cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/pages/
accessibility.aspx for details.

PREFERENCE POINT FEES
» HOW IT WORKS. If you do not hold an active 2014 annual* or big-game license, or
do not receive a license through the draw, you will be charged $40 PER SPECIES (for
elk, deer, pronghorn and bear) for which you get a preference point. This fee applies
to residents and nonresidents. However, residents getting deer or pronghorn preference points will be charged only $30 for each of those.
For example: If a nonresident (who isn’t exempt from the fee) receives a point for
all four species, they will be charged $160. A resident would be charged $140.
» HOW TO AVOID IT. If you don’t want to pay the fee, you have until March 31, 2015,
to purchase a 2014 annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game, or resident senior fishing license.
» HOW WILL I BE CHARGED FOR IT? If you are charged the preference-point fee,
it will be removed from your 2015 big-game application refund(s). For example, if
you’re a resident and apply for a deer license or preference point and don’t draw (and
you are not exempt from the fee) you will receive a $1 refund.
* ANNUAL LICENSES INCLUDE: annual fishing, annual small game, annual resident combination
fishing and small game, or resident senior fishing license. Any returned licenses do not qualify.

IMPORTANT DATES

NEW! LICENSE SALE DATES
Colorado offers several different types of big-game licenses
and different options for purchasing them

AVAILABLE IN THE DRAW, APPLICATION DEADLINE APRIL 7
» LIMITED LICENSES

To get a limited license or preference points, hunters must apply for the draw in April — this is a
process that awards licenses to hunters for specific units and dates. These are distributed through an application and drawing process. They include public-land hunts, private-land-only licenses and Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) licenses.
» PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY licenses include private lands within GMUs listed on the licenses as well as
State Trust Lands not leased by CPW but which have an active private recreational lease through
the State Land Board (hunters should ask the landowner if this applies). Permission from private
landowners is always needed before hunting with a private-land-only license. Please get permission before applying.
» RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE licenses are available to all Colorado residents. Resident hunters may
apply to hunt a specific ranch. Each ranch has specific rules. See page 14 for more.

» LEFTOVER-DRAW OPTION — ELK AND DEER APPLICANTS ONLY

Elk and deer applicants can have the first chance at the limited licenses that are left after the draw by
checking the “Leftover Draw” box on the application where it states, “If unsuccessful, send me...” (See
below).

AVAILABLE STARTING JULY 21
» OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES WITH CAPS A preset number of licenses are available on a firstcome, first-served basis for both resident and nonresident hunters. These are called licenses “with
caps.” They are sold online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613 or at CPW locations and license agents starting at 9 a.m. (MDT) July 21.
» OVER-THE-COUNTER UNLIMITED LICENSES These are available to both resident and nonresident
hunters starting at 9 a.m. (MDT) July 21. They are sold online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613, at license

be purchased any time up until the day before your hunting season starts. After the season starts, they
are available at CPW offices only, except for archery elk OTC licenses and plains elk OTC licenses,
which can be purchased at any license agent.

AVAILABLE STARTING AUGUST 4

[ [

» LEFTOVER LIMITED LICENSES These are available to both resident and nonresident hunters. They
are the limited licenses remaining after the draw and leftover draw processes.
They go on sale in person and by phone at 9 a.m. (MDT) on Aug. 4. Call 1-800-244-5613. These licenses are sold by different methods at different license agents on Aug. 4. Contact the license agent you
plan to go to for details. They also are available online on the CPW website starting at midnight Aug. 5.

THE ‘LEFTOVER DRAW’ EXPLAINED

The Leftover Draw gives deer and elk applicants who
were unsuccessful in the draw the first chance at the
limited licenses that are left once the primary draw is
completed.
» ENTER AUTOMATICALLY Check the “Leftover
Draw” box on your application where it states, “If
unsuccessful, send me...” In June, you’ll be mailed
the list of limited licenses that are still available and another application. Submit this application by mail and you’ll go through
another draw process called the Leftover Draw, which is similar
to the first draw. IF YOU APPLIED ONLINE FOR THE FIRST DRAW, YOU
CAN ALSO APPLY ONLINE FOR THE LEFTOVER DRAW.

» BENEFITS Youths 12-17 receive priority in the Leftover Draw. You
can participate in the Leftover Draw by mail or online, so you can
skip waiting in line and secure your license before they go on sale
to the public on Aug. 4.

LICENSE ALLOCATIONS

Nonresident allocations are determined
by the average number of preference
points a Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license during a
3-year period that ended with the 2009
drawing. (Units with low numbers of
available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
1. For elk and deer hunt codes that

required six or more points for a
Colorado resident to draw, up to 20
percent may go to nonresidents. These
hunts are designated in unit tables by
a “+ ” under the “SEX” column.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer
than six points for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up
to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase
if licenses remain after all Colorado
resident first choices have been
drawn for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to
private-land-only and Ranching For
Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of
both residents and nonresidents, all
nonresidents in the group will count
against the nonresident allocation.

NEW! LANDOWNER PREFERENCE PROGRAM
ATTENTION: All previous versions of landowner preference have been replaced with the Landowner Preference Program (LPP).
The Priority Preference Program, Pilot Program and Regular Landowner applications are no longer accepted.

FOR LANDOWNERS:

1. Deer, elk and pronghorn licenses (in units

that have only limited licenses for all rifle
seasons) are allocated to deeded landowners
who own at least 160 contiguous acres of
private agricultural land.
(Further qualifications apply – see website.)
2. Landowner preference quotas are:
» GMUs WEST OF I-25: 10 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as a
voucher valid for a specific hunt code. An
additional 10 percent of the public quota
may be issued as a private-land-only voucher.
» GMUs EAST OF I-25: 15 percent of the
quota of public licenses may be issued as
a voucher valid for a specific hunt code.
An additional 10 percent of the public
quota may be issued as a private-land-only
voucher and may only be transferred to an
immediate family member or youth.
3. LPP applications are drawn just before
CPW’s public limited drawing. Successful
landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code. Landowners will be notified at the same time as public applicants.
4. The deadline to submit a new registration for applications for 2015 has passed.

MORE ABOUT THE LANDOWNER
PREFERENCE PROGRAM ONLINE
cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner
Registrations for 2016 may be submitted
through Dec. 1, 2015, at the web address
listed above. Registrations are valid for up
to five (5) years.

FOR HUNTERS:

1. The landowner or designated land manager

must transfer the voucher directly to the
hunter. A voucher that has been transferred
by any person who is not the landowner or
designated land manager is void. A voucher
that is brokered for another person is void.
A hunting license obtained for use with a
void voucher is also void. No person shall
broker a voucher on behalf of any landowner or person, or use or possess any brokered
voucher.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the
hunter’s name is written on the voucher, or
the landowner or designated land manager
hands (or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred

one time only.

4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The voucher CANNOT be

reprinted or transferred to another hunter,
even if the voucher has not been redeemed
for a license.
5. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you
can legally have the license before acquiring
a landowner voucher. See pages 17, 19, 33
and 48 for details.
6. The transfer of a voucher by a landowner
or designated land manager must include
permission to access and hunt all of the
registered land for which the voucher was
awarded, and for the entire season for
which the voucher was awarded; without
discrimination among hunters entering the
land. Restrictions are not allowed, except
for manner of access (i.e. foot, horseback,
vehicle) reasonably necessary to prevent
damage to land.
7. The voucher must be taken to a license
agent or CPW location to be redeemed for a
proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting.
The license fees are paid at that time.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from
Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

new youth rules

1. CHOOSE YOUR SPECIES

Youths may hunt antlerless deer or elk in extended seasons. Youths may hunt only the same species
that is on their original license.
2. CHOOSE WHEN TO HUNT

If a youth doesn’t fill their original deer or elk license — whether it’s for archery, muzzleloader or
rifle hunting — they may continue to hunt during any of the rifle seasons listed in this brochure
(except for Ranching For Wildlife). They must hunt within areas specified on the maps on page 6 and
there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.
3. PLAN AHEAD

To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youths must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk
or either-sex elk license. If they don’t fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to
continue hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 6 to make sure you purchase
the original deer or elk license in the right area.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES

When participating in the extended season, youths MUST follow all the rules of hunting during
the rifle season, including wearing blaze orange and using a method of take allowed in rifle season.
Youths must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season,
including any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.

WHAT HASN’T CHANGED?
» Youths must purchase their original license through the draw, from the
leftover licenses list, or for hunt code E-E-054-U2-R.
» Either-sex elk licenses must be converted at a CPW office if the original
license is unfilled and the youth wishes to continue hunting an antlerless animal.
» Over-the-counter archery licenses, OTC whitetail licenses, any antlered
licenses, and either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may NOT be converted
to participate in the extended season.

BIG GAME HUNTING RULES FOR YOUTHS

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Youths must be at least 12 and meet hunter

education requirements.

2. NEW! Youths must have an unfilled limited

antlerless deer, antlerless elk or either-sex
elk license after their original season ends.
Then they may participate in any open rifle
antlerless deer or elk hunt that begins after the
last day of the season listed on their original license. (Does not include Ranching For Wildlife.)
Youths may hunt in the areas specified on
the maps (page 6), and must hunt the same
species listed on their original license.
3. Youths with an unfilled either-sex elk license
must take the original license to a CPW office
to have it converted to an antlerless license
before hunting any extended seasons.
4. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also meets hunter
education requirements. Youths and mentors
must be able to see and hear each other while
hunting.
NEW! Mentors can hunt only if they have a current license valid for the same units and dates
when the youth will be hunting.

5. Youths must follow all applicable regulations

for any hunts and units they select during the
extended season, including season dates and
geographic restrictions.
6. Antlered licenses, over-the-counter licenses
and either-sex plains rifle elk licenses may not
be converted for extended youth hunting.
AGE REQUIREMENTS

1. Youths ages 12-17 are offered reduced-cost

licenses for deer, elk and pronghorn.

2. At age 11, youths can buy or apply for a license

if they turn 12 before the end of season on the
license. Youths cannot hunt with the license
until they turn 12.
3. Youths who get their original license when they
are 17 and later turn 18 may participate in the
late season hunt. Youth hunting rules still apply,
even though the hunter is 18 while hunting.
4. Youths cannot apply for a youth limited license
if they turn 18 on or before Feb. 12 this year.
Youths must be 12-17 at time of purchase to buy
a youth unlimited or leftover license.

YOUTH PREFERENCE FOR LICENSES
1. NEW! A minimum of 15 percent of limited

licenses for doe pronghorn, antlerless and
either-sex deer and antlerless elk for each
GMU shall be available for youths ages 12-17
who meet hunter education requirements.
These licenses are available by drawing for
all seasons and methods of take — including
early and late rifle seasons. Licenses not drawn
by youths are available to the public. (The Air
Force Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife
hunts are excluded from this.)
2. NEW! Youth hunt codes in GMUs 55, 66,67
and 551 have been replaced with a youth preference set at 50 percent for all antlerless deer
licenses in those GMUs.
3. Group applications are not accepted. If youths enter more than one hunt code on their application,
all hunt codes must qualify for youth preference.
YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES
Youth Outreach licenses are offered for deer,
elk and pronghorn to qualified organizations
sponsoring youth hunting activities. Application
procedures are on the CPW website, cpw.state.

WHERE TO HUNT
ELK AND DEER?

» Youths may hunt in any area on

the map within the red boundary that also contains the unit
for which they purchased their
original license. (Units with
lines through them are not open
to extended-season hunting.)
» Youths may only hunt the
extended season when an open
antlerless rifle hunt is going on
in the unit they choose to hunt.

FOR EXAMPLE...
» An original license is purchased
in the draw for a youth to hunt
either-sex elk in unit 49 during
archery season.

» The youth does not harvest

during archery season and
takes the tag to a CPW office
to convert it to antlerless.

» The youth, accompanied
by a mentor, may continue
to hunt during any of the
rifle seasons listed in this
brochure for units 49, 57
or 58, as long as there is an
antlerless season in progress in
the unit the youth wants to hunt.

To expand quality opportunities
to big-game hunters, the Colorado
Parks and Wildlife Commission offers a “hybrid” drawing for select elk,
deer, pronghorn and bear licenses.
The purpose of the drawing is to
give hunters additional opportunity
to draw a license for some of the
state’s premier deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear hunting areas.
Hunters who normally would not
have enough preference points to
draw these licenses now have a slight
chance to draw a small number of
the most coveted licenses through
this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses
may not have any remaining for the
Hybrid Drawing.)

HOW IT WORKS

]

HYBRID DRAWING

ELK, DEER, PRONGHORN

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS
Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the Hybrid Draw must meet
the following criteria and chose from
the hunt codes listed at right as their
first choice on their application.
1. Hunters must have a minimum of

five preference points for the species they wish to hunt to participate in the Hybrid Drawing.

2. Hunters must apply individu-

ally (group applications are not
accepted).

3. Hunt codes that contain a “W” are

Ranching for Wildlife properties. These hunts are for Colorado
residents only.

In hunt codes that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw
(based on a 3-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), 20 percent of the
available licenses will be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable hunt
codes (listed at right) and have at least five preference points for that species
will automatically enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
» Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid Drawing lose all
of their preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants will be
awarded one point.

HOW TO READ HUNT CODES
HUNT CODES CONTAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. THE FIRST LETTER of the code designates the species. (D = deer, E = elk,
2. THE SECOND LETTER of the code designates the sex of the animal you

want to hunt. (M = male, F = female and E = either sex)

A = pronghorn (antelope), M = moose and B = bear)

SEX HUNT CODE LIST

3. THE THIRD PART, THREE NUMBERS, designates the unit you want to

hunt. (001 = Unit 1, 201 = Unit 201, etc.; 000 = multiple units). If more
than one unit is valid, only the lowest unit number will show.

HUNT CODE

4. THE FOURTH PART, A LETTER AND A NUMBER, indicates hunt dates.

For example, O1 = first season, O2 = second season, O3 = third season
and so on. P is for private-land-only hunts followed by the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early season, L1 = late season, K2, K3 =
youth only hunts. There are also Ws or Js for Ranching for Wildlife and S
for a split unit or season choice license.

For example,
this hunt code is
for: A deer hunt,
for either-sex, in
unit 38, during
the first season
for archery.

D-E-038-O1-A

associated methods.

wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one unit only,
while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID UNITS
column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will read,
“SEE UNIT.” Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for your hunt. For
example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at right.

3. THE VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it is
PRIVATE LAND ONLY or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled private land, you

should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that license.

4. THE DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please look

at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. THE SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt code.

Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is related to a certain hunt code may have changed since the previous year.

HOW PREFERENCE POINTS WORK
1. ONE PREFERENCE POINT IS AWARDED to

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS

hunters who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice
hunt code for big-game species in this brochure. You may apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code. Hunters who
make an application error, including on
first-choice hunt codes, do not get a point.
2. YOUTHS can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. IF YOU ARE ISSUED A FIRST-CHOICE
LICENSE, all accumulated preference points

for that species become void and return to zero.

4. IF UNSUCCESSFUL for a first choice, your

accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover-drawing application or
other-choice license.
5. POINTS ACCUMULATE until you draw a
first-choice license. If you fail to apply for or
have not purchased a license during a 10-year
period, all accumulated points for that species
are purged from your record and become void.
6. PRIORITY goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
7. GROUP APPLICATION priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
section below.
8. SECOND-, third-, fourth-choice, over-the-

counter and leftover hunts don’t use or
generate points.
9. $40 PREFERENCE POINT FEE. Hunters will
be automatically assessed $40 per species
($30 for resident deer and pronghorn) for a
preference point unless they have purchased
one of the following: an annual fishing, smallgame, resident combination small-game and
fishing, furbearer or a big-game license in the
previous year; or a current limited license in
the draw for the same species for which they
seek a point.
The point fee is waived for youths, lifetime
license holders, free senior annual fishing
license holders and residents who are in the
military on active duty outside Colorado.
10. WEIGHTED PREFERENCE increases your
probability of drawing a moose license. It
is calculated by converting your application
number into a different application number,
then dividing that new number by the
amount of weighted points you have, plus
one. This generates another new application
number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest and low
numbers for each hunt code are awarded
licenses.
You can have a maximum of three
points for moose. If you have three and

Specific preference-point hunt codes are
listed at the front of each species section in
this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice
on your application automatically awards
you a point, if eligible. You can choose
other hunt codes as your second, third or
fourth choices.
Do not submit a separate application for
preference points or both applications will
be disqualified.
You must pay the full cost of a license
and meet all requirements even if only
applying for a point. If only applying for a
point, your money, minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is
refunded. An additional $40 ($30 resident
deer or pronghorn) may be deducted if
you don’t meet the criteria under No. 9 in
“How Preference Points Work.”

HOW TO APPLY AS A GROUP
1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications for any

number of people are accepted for all biggame species in this brochure except moose.
Group applications entering the draw for
deer, elk, pronghorn and bear licenses have
priority based on the group member with
the fewest preference points. Group members must apply for the same species, hunt
code, unit, geographic restrictions, season
and method of take for each choice, but may
apply for a different sex. All group members must have the same hunt code choices
on their applications (other than sex). Each
member must list the same first-choice
hunt code and the same number of other
hunt-code choices. These choices MUST be
in the same order on all group applications.

If anyone in the group makes an application
error or doesn’t pay the correct amount,
everyone in the group is disqualified.
2. CHOOSE A LEADER: One person must be
the group leader. If there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the
applications the leader’s choices are used.
3. ENTER LEADER CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members — includ-

ing the leader — must enter the same CID
number in the group application box to be entered as a group. If the leader has no CID, they
must call CPW to get one. All group members
must use the same person as the leader.

4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES:

Each hunter’s application must be submitted
separately. Groups are assigned a number. If

that number is selected in the draw, everyone in the group gets a license. If the group is
selected and there aren’t enough licenses for
everyone, the group will not get licenses. If
the group includes resident and nonresident
applicants and the nonresident cap has been
met, the group will not get licenses. Group
applications are not accepted for the leftover
draw. Group members who choose the leftover draw will go through as individuals.

5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES:

If everyone in the group is successful for their
first choice, they all get a license and their
preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point.
Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to
each individual.

FIELD INFORMATION AND REFERENCE

TOOLS, TIPS AND RESOURCES FOR HUNTING COLORADO

BIG-GAME SPECIES IDENTIFICATION
TIPS FOR IDENTIFYING ANIMALS
1. ID FIRST, TRIGGER FINGER SECOND. Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your binoculars, not your

rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your finger on the trigger.

2. STUDY THE BODY. There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Don’t just look at an animal’s antlers, study the entire head and body

of an animal before you shoot. This will help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.
3. WATCH FOR BABIES. When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk. Young moose have a reddish coat,
similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.
4. MAKE A MISTAKE? Accidents happen. If you’ve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, don’t panic. Call the local district wildlife manager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunter’s most responsible plan of action.
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must know the difference between the two species to avoid
accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas of the state, especially on the Eastern Plains. Since
both types of deer have the same general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to make a positive identification. The
primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

MULE DEER

TRAITS

» TAIL: rope-like tail with
black tip
» ANTLERS: fork and fork
again, usually very evenly,
on older males
» EARS: large in proportion to head on both
bucks and does
» GAIT: stiff-legged
bounce, tail held

» RANGE: statewide, in mountain
shrubs, foothills,
communities

BLACK BEAR
TRAITS

» COAT: Adults have long, thick hair; yearlings may have thin, bleached-looking hair
» EARS: The smaller the ears and the larger
the head usually means a larger bear
» FACE: Narrow face and long noses are a
trait of young bears that are not yet adults

WHITE-TAILED DEER

TRAITS

» TAIL: broad and brown with
white fringe; all white when
tail is up.
» ANTLERS: consist of one
main beam with three to five
tines pointing upward
» EARS: smaller in proportion

LEGAL BIG-GAME HUNTING HOURS
Legal hunting hours for big game are one-half hour before sunrise to onehalf hour after sunset, unless specifically restricted.
The sunrise/sunset chart below lists times for Denver. Subtract 1 minute
from opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles east of Denver. Add 1
minute to opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles west of Denver.
(These changes assume that each degree of longitude equals 50 miles and
a change of 1 degree of longitude equals a 4-minute change in sunrise and
sunset times.)

Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to
Colorado residents by drawing. Licenses are valid only for
the season and ranch specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters
who draw a public license for their ranch. By applying for
a RFW license, hunters allow CPW to provide applicant
information to the ranch.
Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch rules
on the CPW website at cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/
RFW.aspx before applying.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES

cpw.state.co.us/bg/lead

1. Use lead-free shot or bullets.
2. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by
the bullet when you process an animal. Fragments can scatter far from the wound.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each animal.
Lead is soft and can go through your grinder,
contaminating a batch of ground meat.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

HUNT PROGRAMS

Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are
available to hunters ages 12-21 with a terminal illness or lifethreatening disease or injury.
Requested dates for hunting events must occur between
Aug. 15 and Jan. 31 each year. Licenses are not offered in
units with at least one hunt code that requires 10 or more
resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching For
Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written
permission from the landowner to hunt on private land.
Sponsoring organizations must request licenses in writing
and document the life-threatening or terminal condition,
hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to CPW, Hunter Outreach
Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.

HUNTER SURVEYS HELP ASSESS HARVEST

CPW conducts big-game harvest surveys each year to
estimate harvest, hunter numbers and recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters may receive a phone call
or email, asking to take part in a survey. This includes questions such as: where you hunted, if you harvested an animal,
if you were satisfied with your experience and if you saw
overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation is not required, but responding — even if you didn’t
hunt or harvest — is an important part of setting future
seasons and license numbers.
If contacted, you can take the survey online at
colobgharvest.com, or call the toll-free phone number
1-855-924-4278.
The survey runs 24 hours daily, October through midFebruary. See the CPW website for details.

VIDEO: LEGAL EXAMPLES
OF WEARING ORANGE

HUNTERS MUST WEAR
DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE

CLICK TO PLAY

Law requires hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of SOLID DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT
ORANGE material on an outer garment above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or
moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required.
This includes all muzzleloader hunters. It also includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle
season. Archers hunting during a limited bear season or archers hunting with an archery bear, deer,
elk, pronghorn or moose license do not have to wear fluorescent orange. Auction- and raffle-license
holders do not have to wear orange when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are
open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)
All off-highway
vehicles operated in
Colorado on public
lands or if traveling
on an OHV-designated route must

New registrations and transfers must be done in

Contact each public land management agency
for their current motor vehicle-use rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications and hours, and
agency maps. Most areas do not allow off-trail
game retrieval w/any motorized vehicle. If you
witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on
public lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

REFERENCE

CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE DOES NOT QUALIFY! Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly
recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is
for hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange like we do. Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters
away.

MARK YOUR HARVEST SITE
WITH YOUR GPS

Hunters who have GPS
units are encouraged
to mark the location of
their harvest in the field.
This is especially
important for hunters
who harvest a bear or
moose.
During mandatory
inspections, hunters
will be asked to give a
location of their harvest.
Having GPS coordinates
makes reporting simple
and precise.
Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal and save
the UTM or longitude and latitude
coordinates. Bring that information to
record on the check report at harvest
inspections.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

1.

WHAT IS IT?

Chronic wasting disease
(CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that attacks
the brains of deer, elk and
moose. It causes animals to
become emaciated, display
abnormal behavior and
eventually die. Infected
animals can show no signs
of illness. State and federal
health experts say CWD is
not likely transmissible to
humans.

2.

WHERE IS IT?

The map in the back of
this brochure highlights
game management units
in red where CWD has
been detected.
CWD has been found
in several regions in
Colorado, as well as other
states and provinces. In
this state, infection rates
appear higher in males and
older animals. Details are
available online.

2015 Colorado Big Game Hunting

» If convicted of these felony violations, you can
face a lifetime license suspension:
1. FELONY OFFENSE: To kill and abandon big
game. It is illegal to remove only hide, antlers
or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in
the field.
2. FELONY OFFENSE: To sell, buy or offer to sell
or buy big game.
3. FELONY OFFENSE: To solicit someone to
illegally kill big game for commercial gain or
provide outfitting services without required
registration.
4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading
rifles are considered unloaded if the percussion
cap or shotshell primer is removed, or if the
powder is removed from flashpan. It is illegal
for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition
muzzleloader in or on a motor vehicle unless
the chamber is unloaded or the battery is
disconnected and removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV
during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber
and magazine. Firearms (except handguns)
and bows carried on an OHV must be fully
enclosed in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or
cases with open ends or sides are prohibited.
This does not apply to landowners or their
agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take
depredating wildlife on property they own or
lease.
6. NEW! Establish a permanent structure or plant
vegetation on CPW-owned land or waters.
Only portable blinds and tree stands for biggame hunting can be erected on CPW land,
and no longer than 30 days prior to the season
they will be used. No nails can be driven into
trees. Man-made materials for blinds or stands
must be removed within 10 days after the
season they are used ends. Owner’s Customer
Identification Number and dates of use must
be visible on outside of portable blinds or
underside of tree stands. Placement of blinds or
stands does not reserve them for personal use,
they may be used on first-come, first-served
basis.
7. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or
release an arrow disregarding human life or
property.
8. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with
a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
9. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle,
off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to
hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
10. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the
ground or to hunt the same day or day after a
flight was made to find wildlife.
11. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted
remote technology while hunting or fishing.
This includes unmanned or remote-control

PLAY VIDEO

How to hunt ethically and responsibly

drones used to look for wildlife. Hunters and
anglers must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
12. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
13. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting.
14. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or
harass wildlife.
15. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
16. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and
kill animals you wound or may have wounded.
It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from landowner or person
in charge.
17. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare
edible wildlife meat for human consumption.
At a minimum, the four quarters, tenderloins
and backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs
are not.
18. Shoot from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle,
handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be
at least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.
19. Party hunt (kill someone else’s game or let
someone kill yours).
20. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by
using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by
vehicle; throwing objects; making movements;
harassing hunters by using threats or actions;
erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas and intentionally injecting yourself into the
line of fire. Violators face prosecution and may
have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
21. For two or more people on the ground, in a
vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to
communicate information that violates any
wildlife law or regulation.
22. Use dogs or bait to hunt bear, deer, elk,
pronghorn or moose. Bait means to put, expose,
distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
23. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more
cubs. A cub is a bear less than a year old.
24. Hunt bears in their dens.
25. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears
or mountain lions without a valid hunting license
or unless authorized by CPW.
26. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or
barter bear gall bladders or edible portions of
bears.
27. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner or person in
charge.
28. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not
under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
29. Use State Land Board properties not leased
and signed by CPW without permission of
lessee.

BAG LIMITS &amp; TAGGING
1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one appli-

cation in the drawing per species, per license year.

2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and

possession limit is the total number of animals you
can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
January and February seasons set as part of the
previous license year’s seasons fall under that year’s
bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt
code determines the maximum number of licenses a
hunter can obtain per year for that species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on your big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote
does not void your big-game license.

ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES

CARCASS TAGS

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must be immediately signed,
dated, detached from the license and attached to the
carcass of the animal — not to detached hides, horns,
antlers or carried separately. Tags must stay on until
meat is processed and remain with meat until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag,
you must get a duplicate from a CPW office before
hunting and prove the loss, detachment or destruction
was accidental. Do not remove other parts of a license
except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the
license and you must buy a duplicate.
If you have a nonresident big game/fishing combo
license, the fishing license is valid after the carcass tag
is detached, as long as the rest of the license is intact.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is
illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD
testing, leave evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. EVIDENCE OF SEX IS:

A. BUCK/BULL: Head with antlers or horns at-

tached to carcass; or testicle, scrotum or penis
attached to carcass.
B. DOE/COW: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva
attached to carcass.
C. BLACK BEAR: Male: testicles or penis.
Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate
evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence
of sex needs to be attached to a quarter or another
major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex is not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds of meat or
after the carcass is cut into processed meat, wrapped
and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
NEW TIP! If you shoot a young buck or bull with antlers

less than 5 inches long, it can be considered “antlerless”. But what do you do about evidence of sex?
1) Leave the head and antlers naturally attached to a portion of the carcass to prove it meets the requirement.
2) Leave the testicles attached to a portion of the carcass and then you can detach the head or skull plate
and carry it out with the antlers intact.

RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS

Requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must live in Colorado at least six consecutive months immediately before
applying for or buying a license AND must intend to make Colorado home
(except No. 3 and No. 4 below). The residence address you give to buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. A valid Colorado driver’s license or other secure and verifiable ID is
proof of residency if it was issued at least six months prior to buying a
hunting license. If your ID or driver’s license was issued or renewed less
than 6 months prior to purchasing a hunting license, you must provide
documentation that proves you have been a resident for the required sixmonth period.
3. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active
duty in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents. This
includes people who were Colorado residents when they entered the military and keep Colorado as their home of record, and their dependents
(with Colorado as their home of record). Also included are personnel of
the U.S. Diplomatic Service or diplomatic services of nations recognized
by the U.S. assigned to Colorado on permanent active duty orders and
their dependents. Active duty military does not include reserve status,
National Guard or government contractors.
4. Full-time students enrolled and attending an accredited Colorado college,
university or trade school at least six months immediately before applying
for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily absent
from Colorado but still enrolled. Colorado residents who attend school full
time, out of state and pay nonresident tuition qualify for a resident license.
5. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal
guardian or person with whom they live most of the time per court order.
6. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call (303) 297-1192
to make sure you comply with Colorado residency requirements before
obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
7. Except as in No. 3 and No. 4 above, you lose your Colorado residency
if you apply for, buy or accept a hunting or fishing license as a resident
of another state or country; register to vote outside Colorado or get a
driver’s license using an address in another state.

SECURE AND VERIFIABLE IDENTIFICATION

As required by the state’s “Secure and Verifiable Identity Document Act,”
residents and nonresidents buying or applying for hunting or fishing licenses
must show secure and verifiable ID. For a list of acceptable and unacceptable
documentation, go to the CPW website at cpw.state.co.us/Documents/
RulesRegs/Brochure/SecureAndVerifiableIdentity.pdf.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support
Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

FELONY OFFENSES AND WEAPONS

Colorado and federal law prohibits people convicted of certain crimes, such as
domestic violence, from possessing weapons even for hunting. If you’ve been
convicted of a crime, check with the appropriate law enforcement authorities to
find out how these laws apply to you.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES

Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at CPW locations, on the website or call (303) 297-1192.

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates (for 20 pounds of meat or less)
must accompany processed game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns,
or must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments
must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
NOTE: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season
and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone WITH or WITHOUT a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone WITHOUT a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone WITH a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on
the meat, voiding both licenses.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big-game animals accidentally killed to a CPW
office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

CERTIFIED HAY MUST BE MARKED

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept.
of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to
www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Agriculture-Main/CDAG/1216022453427.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot big-game animals with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS

HUNTERS USING HORSES

with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment
resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically
impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with license
fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216. Applications accepted from the Monday after the Parks and Wildlife Commission
meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first-come,
first-served until unit and program caps are reached.

TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point or license. TIPs licenses do not count
toward annual bag and possession limits. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/TIPS for
more.

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters

WHITETAIL ONLY — OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES

LATE RIFLE SEASON

]

]

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

These over-the-counter licenses provide an
opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer in a
portion of the state where mule deer are the
primary species of management interest.
This means there are few white-tailed
deer in the area, and hunters can expect to
see more mule deer than white-tailed deer
when hunting in these GMUs.

DEER

WHERE ARE THE WHITETAILS
FOUND IN THIS SEASON?

EITHER-SEX AND ANTLERLESS
LICENSES AVAILABLE

White-tailed deer in these GMUs can be
most commonly found along lower elevation river bottoms.
Hunters should focus on these areas to
most consistently find white-tailed deer.
Much of the white-tailed deer habitat is
located on private lands where permission
is required prior to hunting.

NEW! DATES: Dec. 1-31
LIST: B
VALID UNITS:

48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 69, 84, 85, 86, 140,
481, 511, 561, 581, 591, 691, 851 except
Bosque del Oso SWA, and 861

WHAT METHOD OF TAKE
CAN I USE?

NEW! These licenses are sold only at CPW
offices and state parks that sell hunting licenses. Hunters will receive more information
about whitetail identification when a license
is purchased. These are unlimited in number
and go on sale starting at 9 a.m. July 21.

The license is valid for any legal method of
take. However, because this is a rifle season,
hunters are required to follow blaze orange
requirements (see page 15), regardless of the
type of weapon used.
Some public properties prohibit the use
of rifles and/or muzzleloaders. Check property regulations to determine what types of
weapons are legal before going afield.

ATTENTION HUNTERS: Whitetails are at
low density populations in this area and are
mostly found on private land.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO
IDENTIFY A WHITE-TAILED DEER?

»

The best way to tell the difference between a
white-tailed deer and
a mule deer is the tail.
PLAY
White-tailed deer tails are
VIDEO
broad and brown from top to deer species ID
bottom with a white fringe.
Mule deer have a white rump
patch and tail, with a black tip
on the tail.

INDENTIFYING WHITETAILS VS. MULE DEER

CAN’T I JUST LOOK AT
THE ANTLERS?

Antlers differ between the species, but are
not a reliable distinguishing characteristic
between white-tailed deer and mule deer.

WHAT IF I SHOOT A MULE DEER
ACCIDENTALLY?

Hunters must be certain of their target to
avoid killing a mule deer with a whitetailonly license.
However, accidents happen. Please
report any mistaken kills immediately to the
nearest CPW office (listed in the front of this
brochure) or the District Wildlife Manager
in the area.
See the “Accidental Kill” section on page
18 for more details.

WHITE-TAILED DEER

MULE DEER

» PRIMARY CHARACTERISTIC — THE TAIL: The
first thing to look for is the tail. It’s broad and
brown with white fringe; all white when tail is up.

» TAIL: rope-like tail with black tip

» ANTLERS: consist of one main beam with three
to five tines pointing upward. Caution: Mule deer
with small antlers may appear to have similar antler
formation!

» ANTLERS: fork and fork again, usually
very evenly, on older males
» EARS: large in proportion to head on
both bucks and does
» GAIT: stiff-legged bounce, tail held

» EARS: smaller in proportion to head

down

» GAIT: a graceful lope, flag-like tail often held up

» RANGE: statewide, in mountain
shrubs, foothills, communities

» RANGE: common on Eastern Plains, in
streamside wooded areas and cropland along rivers

season. See page 37.
» NEW! UNIT 70 HUNTS SPLIT. Hunts in units
70, 71, 72, 73 and 711 have been split into two
separate licenses. Read the hunt tables to ensure
you apply correctly.
» NEW! LIGHTED NOCKS. Hunters may now
use lighted nocks on arrows. See page 16.

» MUZZLELOADING. Muzzleloading elk

WHAT’S A “COMBINED SEASON”?

The term “combined season” refers to the second, third and
fourth rifle seasons, when both deer and elk hunters are in the
field at the same time.

DEFINITIONS

» NEW! SPECIES IDENTIFICATION PAGE.
See page 13.
» BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with
antlers at least 5 inches long. See “Antler Point
Restrictions” below.

» COW (ANTLERLESS): A female animal
with no antlers or a young male with antlers less
than 5 inches.
» EITHER SEX: A legal bull or cow.

To apply for a point, enter E-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another
year. You can use your second through fourth
choices on the same application to apply for a
license. Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters may be charged $40 (or $30 for resident
applicants) if you don’t meet criteria for a free
preference point.
NONRESIDENTS must pay at least $464
to apply for an elk preference point, plus a
$10 Habitat Stamp fee. If your second, third
or fourth choice is for bull or either sex, or
if your unsuccessful option is an unlimited
bull license, you must pay $619, plus the $10
Habitat Stamp fee.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

»

TABLE SYMBOLS

» AN ASTERISK ( * ) in the “Sex” column
indicates units that had licenses remaining after
last year’s drawing.

32

» A PLUS ( + ) in the “Sex” column is for hunt
codes for which an average of a least six preference points are needed for a Colorado resident
to draw that license. This is only an average
and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.
Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the
2009 drawing.

TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING GAME MEAT

1. Do not handle animals that are obviously
sick or found dead. Report sick or dead animals you find to a CPW office near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing
game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or use
alcohol wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately afterward. Use hot soapy water, then disinfect
with a 10 percent chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature
of at least 165° F to kill disease organisms
and parasites. Juices from adequately
cooked game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

TAXIDERMY
If you leave the head of your harvest with its antlers at a taxidermist,
you are encouraged to get a receipt
from the taxidermist — with date
delivered and a description of
the antlers — before you take the
carcass home or to a commercial
processor.

»

Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game meat poses no greater risk than domestic meat of causing or carrying disease that
could make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health department or CPW office for information on wildlife
diseases where they plan to hunt. Public health
officials recommend the following precautions
when handling and preparing game meat:

Do your part to protect big-game habitat
Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to
Colorado and are capable of causing severe environmental
and economic harm. For example, a Montana study showed
that dense populations of spotted knapweed reduced available winter forage for elk by 50-90 percent. Elk use increased
almost four times after the plant infestations were controlled.

» COME CLEAN: Before leaving home, inspect your vehicles and belongings.

Equipment and vehicles can accidentally transport harmful
invasive species into and around
Colorado. Follow these
few simple steps to protect
big-game habitat and
stop the spread of harmful
invasive species!

and wood products. Buy firewood near where you intend to burn it. Don’t
transport firewood into Colorado from out of state. Burn all firewood
before leaving the campsite.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud from vehicles and equipment.

» USE WEED-FREE HAY: Use weed-free hay when horseback riding or using

hay for other purposes.

» USE LOCAL FIREWOOD: Invasive forest pests are transported in firewood

» LEAVE CLEAN: Before leaving, inspect your vehicle and belongings.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud. Brush hunting dogs and
other pets before leaving.

» CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY WATERCRAFT: Watercraft, including mo-

tors and trailers, should be clean, fully drained and allowed time
to completely dry in between each use.

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY.
LEAVE NO TRACE

Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE... get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES... good campsites are found, not
made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY... pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND... sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use
signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS... use an established fire ring or fire pan, and don’t
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE... never feed wild animals,
store your camp food and trash securely.

PLAY VIDEO

Leave No Trace

7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS... be aware
of the direction you shoot and be courteous to others
you see.
This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership with the
Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. For more information visit: www.LNT.org

The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands,
expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws,
and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.

*unless otherwise noted in the brochure tables

!

» ATTENTION HUNTERS!
UNITS WITH MOSTLY PRIVATE
LAND can be found in many
pronghorn hunting areas. Landowner permission is advisable
before applying for the following
units, as most land is private in: 9,
104, 110, 112, 116, 120, 128, 130,
132, 136, 137 and 214.

» ARCHERY. Only legal hand-held bows are
allowed in archery season. See page 16.
» MUZZLELOADING. Only legal muzzleloading rifles and smoothbore muskets are allowed
in muzzleloading season. See page 16.

»

DEFINITIONS

» NEW! SPECIES IDENTIFICATION. See page 13.
» BUCK (ANTLERED): A male animal with
horns at least 5 inches long from skull to tip,
excluding a prong or point between the base
and tip. Bucks have a black cheek patch.
» DOE (ANTLERLESS): A female has no horns
or black cheek patch; young bucks with horns
less than 5 inches long and no black cheek patch
also are in this category. Fawns of either sex are
considered does.

PREFERENCE POINTS

»

PRONGHORN

» EITHER SEX: A legal buck or doe.

To apply for a point, enter A-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice
on your application to use another year. You can
use your second through fourth choices on the
same application to apply for a license. Submit
only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even for
a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 service fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded.
Hunters may also be charged $40 ($30 for
resident applicants) if you don’t meet the criteria
for a free preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work” on
page 12.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE PRONGHORN LICENSE
ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application per species each year. Additional licenses for
the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.

last year’s drawing.

hunt codes for which an average of a least six
preference points are needed for a Colorado
resident to draw that license. This is only an

48

average and does not guarantee a license will
be drawn. Calculated on a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

handful of new hunts in units 48, 55, 56, 65, 68,
74, 75, 79, 481, 551, 561 and 681 open this year.
They have low density moose populations and
are subject to modifications in coming years.
Currently, there is no harvest history for these
hunts and any CPW guidance will be limited.
» NEW! LIGHTED NOCKS. Hunters may now
use lighted nocks on arrows. See page 16.

hunts for that unit this year. One is for a cow
hunt in unit 191 only; the other has separate
licenses for a bull or a cow in units 7, 8 and 191
combined. See the tables for details.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter M-P-999-99-P as your
first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first choice on
your application to use another year. You can use your
second choice on the same application to apply for a
license.
You must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. If you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp
fee, will be refunded.
See “How Preference Points Work” on page 12.

MOOSE LICENSE DRAWS USE
WEIGHTED PREFERENCE POINTS
There are three species of big-game animals that
use the weighted preference point system to award
licenses in Colorado — moose, Rocky Mountain
bighorn sheep and mountain goat.
Weighted preference increases your probability of
drawing and applies to both bull and cow licenses.
Here’s how it works:
Hunters can only accumulate up to three points
for moose. If you have three preference points
and you fail to draw a first-choice license, you will

receive weighted preference.
Weighted preference is calculated by converting
your application number into a different, random
application number, then dividing that new application number by the amount of weighted points you
have, plus one. Individuals with three preference
points and no weighted preference will have their
application number divided by one.
This generates another new application number.
Applications are sorted by this new number from
lowest to highest, and low numbers for each hunt
code are awarded licenses.

BEAR

ARCHERY, MUZZLELOADER, RIFLE

Black bear by © Joe Maskasky, CPW

]

» NEW! RIFLE BEAR SEASON CHANGES.
Hunting bear during the regular deer and elk
seasons has changed, giving hunters expanded
opportunities. Rules for the new “Concurrent
Rifle” bear season are explained on page 59.
These restrictions do not apply to the hunts
with hunt codes B-E-083-P1-R, B-E-084-P5-R,
B-E-048-P5-R, B-E-058-P5-R and B-E-059-P5-R.
» INSIDE DENS. Hunting, harvesting or harassing bears inside their dens is prohibited.
» CUBS. Black bears accompanied by one or
more cubs cannot be killed. Cubs — bears
younger than one year old — cannot be killed.

NEED TO KNOW

!

MANDATORY BEAR INSPECTIONS AND SEALS
Hunters must personally present bears to a
CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for
a free inspection, check report and sealing
within five working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen
when presented for inspection. Seals must
be attached to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW
officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to
extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, the CPW may
keep them long enough to thaw so that a
tooth can be removed. Hunters can help by

making sure the jaw is propped open with a
stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after
the five-day period is illegal, and the hide
becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, (303) 342-7430. Do not call the
U.S Fish and Wildlife Service about inspections or seals for bears.

HOW TO GET MORE THAN ONE BEAR LICENSE
ATTENTION: You may submit ONLY ONE application per species each year. Additional licenses for the
same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter or special licenses issued by CPW.
Hunt tables on the following pages show whether each bear license is List A, B or C.

As part of your mandatory bear harvest
inspection, a CPW wildlife officer will perform
a bear tooth extraction. Watch our video to see
how it is done.

PREFERENCE POINTS

To apply for a point, enter B-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
You can gain a preference point as a first
choice on your application to use another year.
You can use your second through fourth choices
on the same application to apply for a license.
Submit only one application per species, per year.
You must pay the full license cost, even
for a point. If you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and $10
Habitat Stamp fee, will be refunded. Hunters
may be charged $40 (or $30 for resident applicants) if you don’t meet the criteria for a free
preference point.
For more, see “How Preference Points Work”
on page 12.

HOW TO GET THEM:
LIST A AND B: You may purchase ONE through the

draw, or ONE or BOTH as leftover licenses, at license
agents, CPW locations or online while supplies last.

LIST C: These are issued by CPW locations when available

to draw that license. This is only an average
and does not guarantee a license will be drawn.

�2014 Colorado Big game hunting

WHAT’S NEW: 2014

ON THE COVER
Troy Prezbindowski of Littleton
harvested his first bear and
ended up with a good hunt
story to go with it. It was the
second morning of the 2013
muzzleloader season in southern Colorado:
“I caught a glimpse of movement over my right shoulder.
I turned to see this massive
brown color-phase black bear
boar about 20 yards away.
“He was walking
2014 Colorado
straight at me...
Big Game
With every step he
took towards me
I matched him by
taking one backwards, trying to
get a good shot. It
turned broadside to
come down a 10-foot bank just
above the trail I was on. Boom!
The bear rolled onto the trail.
“I ran up the 10-foot bank and
got behind a large pine tree to
put something solid between
him and I. He stumbled a few
more yards... and expired right
in front of me.”
C O L O R A D O

P A R K S

» nonResIDenTs geT a bonus annual fIshIng
lICense — All nonresidents who purchase a big-game

license in Colorado will now receive a combination
big-game/fishing license. The annual fishing license is
good for as many visits as you like through March 2015.
Plan a special trip just to enjoy our world-class fishing,
or bring your fishing pole when you come to big-game
hunt. If your quarry isn’t cooperating, maybe the fish
will. See page 2.

the study has reached its conclusion.

» foResT seRvICe ClosuRes — Projects

on the National Forest can impact access
any time of the year. Closures of areas can
change quickly. Your hunting destination
or access route may be affected. Learn
about closures and plan alternative routes and areas to
hunt. Go to www.fs.usda.gov/goto/r2/huntnfs-co.
There will be closures in GMU 19 west of Fort Collins in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. Check the
site for details.
Also, roads and trails were damaged by the 2013

in the state. This means new hunts for bulls and cows
in GMUs 15 and 27. And, for the first time, either-sex
licenses are available to the public for GMUs 1 and 201
near the Utah border. These hunts ensure moose coming
into Colorado don’t negatively impact the habitat. This
hunt may have a low density of animals, depending on
habitat conditions. Hunters who have already harvested a
bull may NOT apply for this either-sex license. See pages
50-51.

neW PRIvaTe-lanD hunT — A new private-land-only

rifle hunt in GMUs 48, 49, 56, 57, 481 and 561 is available. Licenses are over-the-counter with caps, limited in

lICense alloCaTIons

Nonresident allocations are determined
by the average number of preference
points a Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license during a
3-year period that ended with the 2009
drawing. (Units with low numbers of
available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
1. For hunt codes that required six or

more points for a Colorado resident
to draw an elk or deer license, up to
20 percent may go to nonresidents.
These hunts are designated in unit
tables by a “+ ” under the “SEX”
column of the hunt tables.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer
than six points for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up
to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase
if licenses remain after all Colorado
resident first choices have been
drawn for that hunt code.
4. License allocations do not apply to
private-land-only and Ranching For
Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of
both residents and nonresidents, all
nonresidents in the group will count
against the nonresident allocation.

you want to hunt is important. Here’s what to know
before applying:

Plan aheaD

» Youth hunters should plan now
where they’d like to hunt a cow
in a youth late season.
» Youth may need to enter the
April draw to ensure they get a
license for the area they’d like to
hunt during the late season.
» The youth late season means
any season that begins after the
fourth-rifle season.

To PaRTICIPaTe: Youth hunters must have a limited antlerless or
either-sex license that remains unfilled for a season that has already
ended. All youth hunting rules apply, see page 5 for details.
Youth may participate in a late season that is open after the end of the
fourth rifle season. Check the list of hunts and hunt dates online or at CPW
locations for the dates and locations you can hunt.

Youth hunters with either-sex tags MUST convert their original license at
a CPW location if they haven’t yet harvested and wish to participate in a
youth late season to hunt an antlerless elk.

oTC aRCheRY anD bull Tags noT valID foR laTe season:

Youth hunters who purchase an over-the-counter archery tag can no
longer convert it to hunt during the youth late season. As always, bull tags
and either-sex plains rifle tags are not valid for a youth late season hunt.

» You must now purchase your original limited license
(either through the draw or from the leftover list) for any unit
within the red border. So, your original license can be for
any of these GMUs: 70, 71, 72, 73 or 711.
» Pay attention to the red borders around groups of units.
You can only hunt during youth late season within the one
red border where you buy your original license.
In this example, you may hunt during the youth late
season onlY in Unit 70. You may noT hunt in any other
part of the state during the youth late season.

DRaWIng

To continue expanding quality opportunities to big-game
hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission offers a
“hybrid” drawing for select elk,
deer, pronghorn and bear licenses
for the 2014 hunting seasons.
The purpose of the drawing is to give hunters additional
opportunity to draw a license for
some of the state’s premier deer,
elk, pronghorn and bear hunting areas. Hunters who normally
would not have enough preference
points to draw these licenses now
have a slight chance to draw a
small number of the most coveted
licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining
for the Hybrid Drawing.)

hunTeR qualIfICaTIons

1. Hunters must have a minimum

of five preference points for
the species they wish to hunt
to participate in the Hybrid
Drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually (group applications are not
accepted).
3. Hunt codes that contain a “W”
are Ranching for Wildlife
properties. These hunts are for
Colorado residents only.

hoW IT WoRks

In hunt codes that require 10 or
more resident preference points to
draw (based on a three-year average ending with the 2009 drawing),
20 percent of the available licenses
will be issued through a random
drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable
hunt codes (listed below) and have
at least five preference points for
that species will automatically
enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be
entered as your first choice
on your application.
» Winning applicants in the
Hybrid Drawing will be
selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully
draw a license in the Hybrid
Drawing will lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants
will be awarded one point.

2014 Colorado Big Game Hunting 	LICENSES

landowner preference &amp; vouchers
New! The final year of the Priority Landowner Preference Program is 2014. A new landowner
program is being implemented for 2015. Further information will be released on the CPW
website below.

for landowners:

in the priority program:
1. Up to 15 percent of deer, elk and

pronghorn licenses in units with totally
limited licenses in all rifle seasons are
allocated for deeded landowners who
own at least 160 contiguous acres of
agricultural land.
2. Landowner preference quotas are allocated by species, sex, season and method
of take. The 15 percent is for regular
and priority landowner applications.
Priority registered applicants have priority over other landowner applicants.
3. Priority Landowner Program applications are drawn just before CPW’s
regular limited drawing. Successful
landowners receive a voucher for each
winning hunt code. Landowners will be
notified at the same time as the general
public applicants.
4. The deadline to submit a new registration for applications for 2014 has
passed. CPW will accept new Priority
Landowner Preference registrations
until June 30, 2014.
more about the landowner
voucher program online
cpw.state.co.us/bg/landowner

for hunters:

1. The landowner must transfer the

voucher directly to the hunter.

2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when

the hunter’s name is written on the
voucher, or the landowner hands (or
mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred
one time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the
voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to
another hunter, even if the voucher has
not been redeemed for a license.
5. The transfer of a voucher gives the
hunter permission to hunt on the land
for which the voucher was awarded and
for the duration of the season printed
on the voucher during legal hunting
hours. The landowner may restrict
manner of access (i.e. foot, horseback,
vehicle, etc.).
6. The voucher must be taken to a license
agent or CPW location to be redeemed
for a proper and valid license PRIOR to
hunting. The appropriate license fees
are paid at that time.
7. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure
you can legally have the license before
acquiring a landowner voucher.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available
from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

�APPLICATIONS	

Preference points

10. Weighted preference increases
your probability of drawing a moose
license. It is calculated by converting
your application number into a different
application number, then dividing that
new number by the amount of weighted
points you have, plus one. This generates
another new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number
from lowest to highest and low numbers
for each hunt code are awarded licenses.
You can have a maximum of three
points for moose. If you have three and
you fail to draw a first-choice license, you
receive weighted preference for moose.
11. Preference points are not transferable.
Points are awarded for specific species,
not by hunt codes or method of take.
12. Active duty U.S. military stationed in
Colorado or who claim Colorado as their
home of residence and are deployed
outside the U.S. are eligible, when they
return home, to apply for preference
points for any limited license drawings
they missed while deployed.

applications and preference points
group hunt instructions
1. Group hunts: Group applications for any number of people are accepted for all big-game species

in this brochure except moose. Group applications entering the draw for deer, elk, pronghorn and
bear licenses have priority based on the group member with the fewest preference points. Group
members must apply for the same species, hunt code, unit, geographic restrictions, season and
method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex. All group members must have
the same hunt code choices on their applications (other than sex). Each member must list the same
first-choice hunt code and the same number of other hunt-code choices. These choices MUST be
in the same order on all group applications. If anyone in the group makes an application error or
doesn’t pay the correct amount, everyone in the group is disqualified.
2. Choose a leader: One person must be chosen as the group leader. If there are differences in
the number or order of hunt codes on the applications the leader’s hunt code choices are used.
3. Enter leader CID number on all applications: All group members — including the leader —
must enter the same CID number in the group application box to be entered as a group. If the leader
has no CID, they must call CPW to get one. All group members must use the same person as the leader.
4. How groups are awarded licenses: Each hunter’s application must be submitted separately.
Groups are assigned a number. If that number is selected in the draw, everyone in the group gets
a license. If the group is selected and there aren’t enough licenses for everyone, the group will not
get licenses. If the group includes resident and nonresident applicants and the nonresident cap
has been met, the group will not get licenses. Group applications are not accepted for the leftover
draw. Group members who choose the leftover draw will go through as individuals.
5. Preference points, refunds, notices: If everyone in the group is successful for their first
choice, they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first
choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each individual.

submitting Your Application by mail

1. Mail one check (or money order) and one application per envelope in a standard 4 1/8 by 9 1/2-inch envelope to the correct address at right. Don’t fold. If
you have a CID number, make sure to write it on the check or money order.
2. You may submit only one application per species, per year. Each species must
be in a separate envelope with separate payment, including group applications. Envelopes with multiple applications may not be processed.
3. Personal checks, cashier’s checks or money orders are accepted, made out to
Colorado Parks and Wildlife. U.S. currency only. No cash. Credit cards are
accepted online only.
4. Drop boxes are available at the CPW office at 6060 Broadway in Denver.
5. Don’t send applications directly to us unless you were told to do so by CPW.
6. Applications are rejected if your check is returned by the bank.

REFUNDS or preference-point restoration

1. Refunds for unsuccessful applicants are issued by June 26. The $3 application
fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee are nonrefundable. Refunds are sent to applicant, regardless of who paid for the original application.
2. If you choose to surrender your license to CPW before the season starts, you
may choose to receive either a refund OR have the preference points restored
that you used to obtain the license. To get a refund or preference point(s)
restored, you must relinquish your license and carcass tag before opening day of
the season. License must be accompanied by a completed request form obtained
at a CPW location or on the website. Requests must be postmarked before the
season starts. If there isn’t enough time to request a form, mail your license and
carcass tag with a letter to CPW. It must be postmarked before the season starts
and mailed to CPW, attn: Refund Office, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.
3. After a season starts, refund or preference point restorations are limited to
extreme medical circumstances of licensee, death of the licensee or death of
licensee’s immediate family member, or members of the U.S. military whose
service prevented them from requesting a refund or reinstatement on time.
These requests must be accompanied by evidence that the license has not
been used and circumstances precluded the licensee from being able to use it.
4. Refunds and preference point restorations are not considered more than 30 days
after a season starts. The only exception is for members of the U.S. military as
noted above.

PREFERENCE-POINT HUNT CODE

A preference-point hunt code is in the section for each species in this brochure. Entering this hunt code as a first choice on your application automatically awards you
a point if eligible. You can choose other hunt codes as your second, third or fourth
choices. Do not submit a separate application for preference points or both applications will be disqualified from the draw. You must pay the full cost of a license and
meet all requirements even if only applying for a point. If only applying for a point,
your money, minus the $3 application fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is refunded.
An additional $40 ($30 resident deer or pronghorn) may be deducted if you don’t
meet the criteria under No. 9 in “Gaining and Using Preference Points” on this page.

applications

1. One preference point is awarded to hunters
who apply properly and are unsuccessful in
drawing a license for a first-choice hunt code
for big-game species in this brochure. You
may apply for a preference point as your
first-choice hunt code. Hunters who make
an application error, including on firstchoice hunt codes, do not get a point.
2. Youths can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. If you are issued a first-choice license, all
accumulated preference points for that
species become void and return to zero.
4. If unsuccessful for a first choice, your accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover-drawing application or
other-choice license.
5. Points accumulate until you draw a
first-choice license. If you fail to apply for
or have not purchased a license during a
10-year period, all accumulated points for
that species are purged from your record
and become void.
6. Priority goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
7. Group application priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
box at right for more group hunt details.
8. Second-, third-, fourth-choice, over-thecounter and leftover hunts don’t use or
generate points.
9. NEW! $40 preference point fee
Hunters will be automatically assessed
$40 per species ($30 for resident deer
and pronghorn) for a preference point
unless they have purchased one of the
following: an annual fishing, small-game,
resident combination small-game and
fishing, furbearer or a big-game license
in the previous year; or a current limited
license in the draw for the same species
for which they seek a point.
The point fee is waived for youths,
lifetime license holders, free senior
annual fishing license holders and Colorado residents who are in the military on
active duty outside Colorado.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. The fIRsT leTTeR of the code designates the species. (D = deer, E = elk, A = prong-

horn (antelope), M = moose and B = bear)

2. The seConD leTTeR of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt.

(M = male, F = female and E = either sex)

3. The ThIRD PaRT, ThRee nuMbeRs, designates the unit you want to hunt. (001 =

Unit 1, 201 = Unit 201, etc.; 000 = statewide). If more than one unit is valid for a
hunt code, only the lowest unit number will show in the code.

hunT CoDe

4. The fouRTh PaRT, a leTTeR anD a nuMbeR, indicates hunt dates. For example,

O1 = first season, O2 = second season, O3 = third season and so on. P is for privateland-only hunts followed by the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early
season, L1 = late season, K2, K3 = youth only hunts. There are also Ws or Js for
Ranching for Wildlife and S for a split unit.

For example,
this hunt code is
for: A deer hunt,
for either-sex, in
unit 38, during
the first season
for archery.

hunT Tables shoW The lIMITeD lICenses avaIlable. These are
available through the draw or as leftover licenses. Some hunt tables in the bear section
include hunt codes for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.
1. The TITle on the top of each table describes the big-game species and method of

take for the hunt codes within that table. Start here to find the method of take you
wish to hunt. Tables are color coded the same throughout the brochure.

2. The unIT ColuMn is where you will look next to locate the game management unit

you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the valID
unITs column will list all the units where you can hunt with that same license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and hunt codes as another unit, the chart will
read, “see unIT”. Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for
your hunt. For example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at right.

3. The valID unIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it
is PRIvaTe lanD onlY or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled private land,

you should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that
license.

4. The DaTes column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please

look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. The seX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt

code. Please read the information carefully because the sex of an animal that is
related to a certain hunt code may have changed since the previous year.

6. The hunT CoDe column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you

desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted.
Please see section above on how to read hunt codes.

7. The lIsT column displays what type of license you are buying. There are oppor-

tunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses
meet the requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see “How to get more
than one license” sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter
on the application. You may submit only one application per species, per year.

units that had licenses left over after last year’s drawing. There may be a good chance of licenses left

Hunters who have GPS units are
encouraged to mark the
location of their harvest in
the field.
This is especially important for hunters who
harvest a bear or moose.
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be
asked to give a location of
their harvest. Having GPS
coordinates makes reporting simple and precise.
Use your GPS to set a
waypoint where you harvest an
animal and save the UTM or longitude and latitude coordinates.
Bring that information to record
on the check report at harvest
inspections.

In ColoRaDo,

moose can be
found in the same
habitat as elk. Elk
hunters must know
the difference
between the
two species to
avoid accidentally
killing a moose.

CPW conducts big-game harvest
surveys each year to estimate
harvest, hunter numbers and
recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn
hunters may receive a phone call
or e-mail, asking to take part in
a survey. This includes questions
such as: where you hunted, if you
harvested an animal, if you were
satisfied with your experience and
if you saw overcrowding from
other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Participation
is not required, but responding —
even if you didn’t hunt or harvest
— is an important part of setting
license numbers for next year.
If contacted, you can take the
survey online or call a toll-free
phone number.
The survey runs 24 hours daily,
October through mid-February.
See the CPW website for details.

2014 Colorado Big Game Hunting

HUNTERS MUST WEAR DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE
It is a legal requirement for hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange material on an outer garment
above the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange hat or head covering, visible from all
directions, is also required. This includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting during a limited bear season or archers hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license do not have to wear fluorescent orange. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have
to wear orange when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display
orange that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
Camouflage orange does not qualify. Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is for hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange like we do. Movement, sound and smell are what give hunters away.

it’s against the law to:
» If convicted of these felony violations, you can
face a lifetime license suspension:

2. Felony offense: To sell, buy or offer to sell
or buy big game.
3. Felony offense: To solicit someone to
illegally kill big game for commercial gain or
provide outfitting services without required
registration.
4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun
in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles
are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is
removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to
have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader
in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is
unloaded or the battery is disconnected and
removed from its compartment.
5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV
during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and
magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed
in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not
apply to landowners or their agents who carry a
firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife
on property they own or lease.
6. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release
an arrow disregarding human life or property.
7. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with
a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
8. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle,
off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to
hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
9. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the
ground or to hunt the same day or day after a
flight was made to find wildlife.
10. NEW! Use the Internet or other computerassisted remote technology while hunting or
fishing. This includes unmanned or remotecontrol drones used to look for wildlife. Hunters
and anglers must be physically present in the
immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.
11. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
12. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting wildlife.
13. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or
harass wildlife.

bit.ly/coloradobiggame

14. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
15. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and
kill animals you wound or may have wounded. It
is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife that
goes on private property without first obtaining
permission from landowner or person in charge.
16. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare
edible wildlife meat (all species in this brochure)
for human consumption. At a minimum, the
four quarters, tenderloins and backstraps are
edible meat. Internal organs are not.
17. Shoot from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle,
handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be
at least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.
18. Party hunt (kill someone else’s game or let
someone kill yours).
19. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by
using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by
vehicle; throwing objects; making movements;
harassing hunters by using threats or actions;
erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas
and intentionally injecting yourself into the line
of fire. Violators face prosecution and may have
to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
20. For two or more people on the ground, in a
vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife
law or regulation.
21. Use dogs or bait to hunt bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose. Bait means to put, expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal parts
or other food as an attraction for big game. Scent
sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
22. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more
cubs. A cub is a bear less than a year old.
23. Hunt bears in their dens.
24. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of
bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting
license or unless authorized by CPW.
25. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter
bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
26. Hunt on private land without first obtaining
permission from landowner or person in charge.
27. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not
under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
28. Use State Land Board properties not leased and
signed by CPW without permission of lessee.
29. On CPW lands, only portable blinds or tree
stands may be erected. All man-made materials
used for blinds or stands must be removed within
10 days after the end of the season you hunt.

BAG LIMITS &amp; SEASON
PARTICIPATION RESTRICTIONS
1. Limited licenses: You can submit only one

application in the drawing per species, per
license year. No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag and
possession limit is the total number of animals you
can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
January and February seasons set as part of the
previous license year’s seasons fall under that year’s
bag and possession limit. When a license allows
hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt
code determines the maximum number of licenses
a hunter can obtain per year for that species.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. Coyotes: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on the big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or
furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big-game license.

reference

1. Felony offense: To kill and abandon big
game. It is illegal to remove only hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the
field.

hunt ethically,
hunt responsibly

CARCASS TAGS

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must stay on until meat is
processed and remain with meat until consumed. It
is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag,
you must get a duplicate from a CPW office before
hunting and prove the loss, detachment or destruction was accidental. Do not remove other parts of
a license except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so
voids the license, and you must buy a duplicate.
If you have a nonresident big game/fishing
combo license, the fishing license remains valid
after the carcass tag is detached, as long as the rest
of the license is intact.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD
testing, leave evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. Evidence of sex is:

a. Buck/Bull: Head with antlers or horns at-

tached to carcass; or testicle, scrotum or penis
attached to carcass.
b. Doe/Cow: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva
attached to carcass.
c. Black Bear: Male: testicles or penis.
Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate
evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence
of sex needs to be attached to a quarter or another major part of carcass. All portions must be
transported together.
5. Evidence of sex not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds of meat
or after the carcass is cut into processed meat,
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.

RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS

Requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must live in Colorado at least six consecutive months immediately before
applying for or buying a license and must intend to make Colorado home
(except No. 3 and No. 4 below). The residence address you give to buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. A valid Colorado driver’s license or Colorado ID is proof of residency if
it was issued at least six months prior to buying a hunting license. If your
ID or driver’s license was issued or renewed less than 6 months prior
to purchasing a hunting license, you must provide documentation that
proves you have been a resident for the required six-month period.
3. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active

the U.S. Diplomatic Service or diplomatic services of nations recognized
by the U.S. assigned here on permanent active duty orders and their dependents. Active duty military does not include reserve status, National
Guard or government contractors.
4. Full-time students enrolled and attending an accredited Colorado college,
university or trade school at least six months immediately before applying
for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily absent

driver’s license using an address in another state.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES

Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at CPW locations, on the website, or call (303) 297-1192.

hunters with MOBILITY IMPAIrments

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters

with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment
resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically
impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but
is not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or
arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at CPW locations and must be mailed with license
fees to CPW, Limited License, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216. Applications accepted from the Monday after the Wildlife Commission meeting in
May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first-come, first-served
until unit and program caps are reached.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support
Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

Turn In Poachers (TIPs) PROGRAM

TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point or license. TIPs licenses do not count
toward annual bag and possession limits. Go to cpw.state.co.us/bg/TIPS
for more.

CERTIFIED HAY must be marked

14

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and CPW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing CPW
property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept.
of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to www.
colorado. gov/cs/Satellite/Agriculture-Main/CDAG/1216022453427.

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:

a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex

and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.

b. Carcass tags — or donation certificates for 20 pounds of meat or

less — must accompany processed game meat.

2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or

horns, or must accompany processed meat.

3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass

tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.

4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments

must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Donation certificates are required for all game-meat donations. Certificates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no
special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed. Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
Note: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone with or without a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone without a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone with a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on
the meat, voiding both licenses.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to a CPW office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number, color, harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.
Watch
OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)
online
All OHVs operated in Colorado on public lands or if traveling

transfers must be done in person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications and hours, and
agency maps. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval w/any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

HUNTERS USING HORSES

You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses need a Coggins blood test
for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call Colorado
State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may require
brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303) 294-0895.

From the field to the table, ensuring your next
harvest is safe for your family is important.
Switching from lead bullets may be the right option for you. For more, go to the CPW link above.
Science tells us ingesting lead can cause potential health problems. Risks are low for most
people, however, you
can also:
1. Use lead-free shot or
bullets.

2. Liberally trim and discard meat damaged by
the bullet when you process an animal. Fragments can scatter far from the wound.
3. Clean your meat grinder between each
animal. Lead is soft and can go through your
grinder, contaminating an entire batch of
ground meat.
4. Avoid eating game meat from animals harvested with lead bullets if you are pregnant.
Children younger than 6 should also avoid it.

and it is quite
common to find
both mule deer and
whitetail deer in the
same areas, especially on the Eastern
Plains.
Since both types
of deer have the
same general body
shape and size,
hunters can look
for a few key differences to make a
positive identification.
The primary telltale characteristic a
hunter should look
for is the tail. All of
the other identifiers
listed here can help
in determining the
species, but the tail
will give you the
best clue.

antlers or a young male with antlers less than 5
inches long.

1. an antler Point is a projection of antler at least 1 inch long and
which is longer than the width of its
base.

» either sex: A legal bull or cow. See “AntlerPoint Restrictions” at right.

To apply for a point, enter e-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
you can gain a preference point as a first choice
on your application to use another year. you can
use your second through fourth choices on the
same application to apply for a license. Submit only
one application per species, per year.
you must pay the full license cost, even for a
point. if you apply for a point only, your money,
minus the $3 application fee and $10 habitat
Stamp fee, will be refunded. hunters may also
be charged $40 if you don’t meet the criteria for
a free preference point. See page 2 and No. 9 of
“Gaining and Using Preference Points” on page 7.
nonresidents must pay at least $454 to apply for an elk preference point, plus a $10 habitat
Stamp fee. if your second, third or fourth choice
is for bull or either sex, or if your unsuccessful option is for an unlimited bull license, you must pay
$604, plus the $10 habitat Stamp fee.

hoW to read table symbols
» an asterisk ( * ) in the “Sex” column indicates
units that had licenses left after last year’s drawing.
» a PlUs ( + ) in the “Sex” column indicates hunt
codes for which an average of a least six preference points are needed for a Colorado resident
to draw that license. This is calculated on a 3-year
period ending with the 2009 drawing.

Do your part to protect big-game habitat
Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to
Colorado and are capable of causing severe environmental
and economic harm. For example, a Montana study showed
that dense populations of spotted knapweed reduced available winter forage for elk by 50-90 percent. Elk use increased
almost four times after the plant infestations were controlled.

» Come Clean: Before leaving home, inspect your vehicles and belongings.

Equipment and vehicles can accidentally transport harmful
invasive species into and around
Colorado. Follow these
few simple steps to protect
big-game habitat and
stop the spread of harmful
invasive species!

and wood products. Buy firewood near where you intend to burn it. Don’t
transport firewood into Colorado from out of state. Burn all firewood
before leaving the campsite.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud from vehicles and equipment.

» Use Weed-Free Hay: Use weed-free hay when horseback riding or using

hay for other purposes.

» Use Local Firewood: Invasive forest pests are transported in firewood

» Leave Clean: Before leaving, inspect your vehicle and belongings.

Remove plants, seeds, insects, animals and mud. Brush hunting dogs and
other pets before leaving.

» Clean, Drain, Dry Watercraft: Watercraft, including mo-

tors and trailers, should be clean, fully drained and allowed time
to completely dry in between each use.

1. hunting, harvesting or harassing bears

inside their dens is prohibited.

2. Black bears accompanied by one or

more cubs cannot be killed. cubs
— bears younger than one year old —
cannot be killed.
3. hunters cannot hunt bear with an “overthe-counter with caps” bear license in
a regular rifle deer or elk season west
of i-25 or in unit 140, unless the hunter
also has a deer or elk license for the
same unit, season and method of take.
if the deer or elk license is restricted to
private land, so is the bear license.
this does not apply to archery or
muzzleloading bear licenses, or hunt
codes B-e-058-P5-r, B-e-059-P5-r,
B-e-083-P1-r or B-e-084-P5-r.
4. hunters can hunt bears only with an
“over-the-counter with caps” bear license in one bear season. if the deer or
elk season dates overlap more than one
bear season, the hunter must pick one
bear season when purchasing a license.

HOw TO aPPlY FOr
a PreFereNCe POiNT

to apply for a point, enter b-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice code on your application.
you can gain a preference point as your
first choice on your application to use
another year. you can use your second to
fourth choices to apply for a license.
if you apply for a point only, your
money, minus the $3 application fee and
$10 habitat stamp fee, will be refunded.
you may also be charged $40 if you don’t
meet the criteria for a free preference point.
For more, see page 2 and No. 9 of “Gaining and Using Preference Points” on page 7.

HUNTers mUsT geT bear iNsPeCTiONs, seals
Hunters must personally present bears to a
CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for a free
inspection, check report and sealing within five
working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when
presented for inspection. Seals must be attached
to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the head and
hide are frozen, the CPW may keep them long
enough to thaw so that a tooth can be removed.
Hunters can help by making sure the jaw is
propped open with a stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after
the five-day period is illegal, and the hide
becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

www.biT.lY/COlOraDObiggame

waTCH ONliNe:

as part of your mandatory bear harvest
inspection, a cPw

prepared game meat poses no greater
risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make
humans sick. hunters are encouraged to
contact their local public health department or cPw oﬃce for information on
wildlife diseases where they plan to hunt.
Public health oﬃcials recommend the
following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:

chronic wasting disease
LEARN MORE ABOUT CWD ONLINE AT:

cpw.state.co.us/bg/CWD

Testing your harvest for CWD

Photo © Wayne Lewis, CPW

What is it?

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological
disease that affects some big-game animals.
The disease attacks the brains of free-ranging and
captive deer, elk and moose, causing the animals to
become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and uncoordination, and eventually die. Infected animals can
show no signs of illness throughout much of the disease.

Where is it?

CWD has been found in parts of this state and several
other states and provinces. In Colorado, infection rates
appear higher in males and older animals.
As a result of testing, CWD has been detected in units
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 51, 59,
69, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 99, 100, 101, 102,
107, 109, 131, 161, 171, 181, 191, 211, 214, 231, 301, 361,
371, 391, 421, 441, 461, 521, 591, 951. These units are
highlighted on the map on the opposite page.
Surveillance summaries also are posted on the CPW
website.

precautions to follow

gmu | land

CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and federal health experts.
However, the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment and CPW advise hunters
to take simple precautions when handling carcasses of deer, elk and moose from units where the
disease has been detected.

60

» Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that
appear sick.
» Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and
processing animals.
» Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic
tissues.
» Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after
field dressing.
» Bone out meat from your animal (following
evidence of sex and antler-point regulations).
» Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen,
pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes.
» Do not eat meat from CWD-positive animals.

CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available statewide.
The test costs $25 per animal when
submitted through CPW. See the CPW
webpage (address above) in early August
for costs and other details. Test costs
may be waived at CPW office submission
sites (listed on the inside cover) in seasons
or units where more samples are needed.
See moose inspection requirements on
page 50 for more details.

PREPARING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

Avoid shooting an animal in the head
or neck.
When removing the head, leave 1-2
inches below where the neck joins the
skull (just below the first vertebrae).
Whole brains or other brain pieces are
not accepted for testing.
Alternate tissues may be used for
testing. Check the website for details on
how to obtain and deliver these tissues.

Collecting samples
in the field

Hunters may want to learn to collect
samples themselves. Keep samples or
heads cold but not frozen. Do not submerge in water.
Submit samples or heads as soon as
possible, no more than five days after
harvest. Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However, animals
from units with antler-point restrictions
must comply with regulations.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

You can take heads or tissue samples
to a CPW office submission site (listed
on the inside cover) or a participating
veterinarian.
You must bring your license so that
CPW can scan the bar code and obtain
your address and phone number. You
will be asked for kill site coordinates or to
show it on a map at the submission site,
along with the unit and date of harvest.
If someone else submits your animal,
they must bring your CID number, but
you should keep your license. Submitters should bring the information listed
above.
See the webpage above in early
August for submission sites, hours and
other details.

TEST RESULTS

All samples are sent to Colorado State
University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory for testing.

Testing is for CWD screening only and
does not assure the absolute safety of
meat for human consumption. Testing
accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending
on sample type and quality.
No test can assure complete accuracy,
and “not detected” results don’t exclude
the possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided on the CPW
website or by calling (303) 297-1192.
Tests are completed as soon as possible. The goal is to provide results within
10-15 working days, subject to volume
and laboratory backlog. Suspected positive results are confirmed by a second
test, which takes 7-10 more working days.
Because moose samples are tested
differently than deer and elk, their initial
results may not be available for 15-20
working days or more.
Hunters whose animals test positive
are contacted by CPW. If you don’t get
test results more than three weeks (15
working days) after submission, call a
CPW office.

LICENSE FEE AND
OTHER REFUNDS

Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test
positive for CWD are eligible for a
license fee refund or an antlerless license.
If the hunting season has ended or
there’s not a reasonable amount of time
left in the current season, CPW may
issue an antlerless license for the next
year’s season in the same unit where the
animal was killed. If antlerless hunting
isn’t offered in that unit, CPW can designate a substitute unit.
When paid, costs for processing
CWD- positive animals are refunded.
Requests for reimbursements must be
made on CPW forms and accompanied
by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50
for processing allowed without receipts.
Reimbursements for deer and elk are
limited to $100 per animal for private
processing or $200 per animal for
commercial processing. The maximum
allowed for commercial processing of
moose is $250.
FOR MOOSE: If the original license
was for a season that closed before Oct.
31, the replacement license will be valid
until Oct. 31.

CARCASS TRANSPORT
RESTRICTIONS

Nonresidents are encouraged to check
with non-Colorado wildlife agencies to
see if carcass restrictions apply before
taking deer, elk or moose carcasses from
Colorado through other states.

ON THE COVER

Littleton resident Lacy Williams
has a tough 2012 season to top.
The first tag she’s ever drawn
earned her this gorgeous buck!
Her husband
2013 Colorado
located this deer
on a scouting trip Big Game
and named him
“the Cactus Buck.”
Luckily for Lacy,
her husband
never got a shot
at Cactus Buck
while he was
hunting the area during muzzleloader season.
On opening morning of rifle
season, Lacy and her husband
hit the same trail in GMU 51
and Cactus Buck appeared. The
opening shot of the morning was
hers; a heart shot at 300 yards.
“My first hunt will be diﬃcult
for me to top,” she said. “I feel so
blessed to have the opportunity
to hunt, and grateful to make
memories like this with my family.”

laTe YouTh elk hunT Changes

Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s late youth elk
seasons have been successful at getting young
hunters in the field while helping reduce elk
overpopulation in parts of the state.
As elk populations have been brought closer
to long-term population objectives, the need for late
elk seasons is diminishing. As the biological need for
extra harvest in these late seasons declines, participation rules for youth late elk seasons have been
modified to make sure that seasons occur without
negatively impacting the long-term health of the
herds.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife remains committed to efforts to get youth into the field and hunting.
Staff is examining ways to expand youth hunting opportunity with other species. For details on changes
to the youth late season elk hunts, see page 4.
CheCk foResT seRvICe ClosuRes — Projects

on the National Forest can impact access any time
of the year. Closures of areas, roads and trails can
change quickly. Your hunting destination or access route may be affected.
Learn about closures and plan alternative routes and areas to hunt. Go to
www.fs.usda.gov/goto/r2/huntnfs-co.

» elk

neW anTleRless hunTs — Fourth season licens-

es for GMU 32 are being reinstated this year, and
a new private-land-only season is offered in GMU
511. See pages 38, 44 for details.

CloseD hunTs — Late season antlerless hunts in

GMUs 21, 40, 58, 59 and 581 have been closed.
Resident elk populations in those areas are at or
below population objectives set by CPW.

hunT CoDe Changes — Hunters should pay close

attention to hunt codes as there are some hunt
changes around the state. Antlerless tags in GMU
20 are now List A; antlerless licenses in 41, 42, 52,
411, 421 and 521 are now List B; the either-sex
licenses in the northwest region are again separate
bull or cow licenses; and the antlerless hunts in
GMUs 25 and 26 are no longer over-the-counter
with caps, hunters must now apply in the draw for
these tags. See the elk hunt tables 28-44 for details.

» DeeR

neW hunTs — There are a variety of new hunts for

both bucks and does this year. They include: doe

habITaT sTaMP RequIReD befoRe The DRaW

If you haven’t already purchased a 2013 Habitat
Stamp, you must buy one or submit the payment with one of your big-game applications
in order to be entered into the draw.

hunts in the Gunnison Basin GMUs 66 and 67; private-land-only hunts for bucks near Boulder Creek
in GMUs 29 and 38; and private-land-only doe
hunts in GMU 96 with a season-choice tag. Also
new this year are season-choice tags for whitetailonly hunts in GMUs 89, 90, 95 and 99. See the hunt
code pages that start on page 16 for details.

CloseD hunTs — North Park deer herd numbers

have remained low for six years. To help restore
this herd, doe hunting in the North Park area is
currently not available.

» PRonghoRn

neW hunTs — GMUs 66 and 551 in the Gunnison

Basin are re-opening this year for pronghorn
hunting. Harsh winters in 2007-08 decimated the
area’s herds, but through CPW biological management and transplant efforts, the population
has increased to allow hunting once again.
There is a late season public-land hunt opening in GMU 97, east of Brush.
There will also be new private-land-only hunts
in GMUs 130 and 146 — between La Junta and
Lamar. See pages 45-49 for details.

fRoM PRIvaTe To PublIC — GMUs 9 and 191 near

Fort Collins move from private-land-only to public
hunts this year to allow hunters to access public
properties like Soapstone and Red Mountain Ranch
Open Space areas. See pages 45-49 for details.

» beaR

unlIMITeD beaR lICenses on PlaIns — To help

manage populations, eastern plains bear licenses are
now unlimited List C licenses, meaning a hunter
can purchase any number of tags. These are for most
GMUs east of Interstate 25. See page 54 for details.

neW PRIvaTe-lanD season neaR ColoRaDo
sPRIngs — There are new private-land-only hunts

available in GMUs around Colorado Springs, Cañon
City and Pueblo. These tags are over-the-counter with
caps, limited in number. They are meant to encourage
bear harvest near urban areas. See page 55 for details.

» Moose

ManDaToRY TooTh eXTRaCTIon — To keep age

records of moose harvested in the state, CPW is
introducing a tooth extraction this year. During the
mandatory inspection, an incisor tooth from the
bottom jaw will be pulled. See page 50.

neW hunTs — Successful moose populations mean

numerous new hunts are available around the state.
These include bull hunts in GMUs 12, 23 and 24,
and cow hunts in GMUs 39, 41, 42, 46, 49, 52, 411,
421, 500, 501 and 521. See pages 50-51 for details.

neW ThIs YeaR: Applications submitted for hunters who
do not already have a 2013 Habitat Stamp will be disqualified from the draw. If you apply for more than one species,
include the Habitat Stamp payment with just one of your
applications. See page 2 for details.

lICense alloCaTIons

Nonresident allocations are determined
by the average number of preference
points a Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license during a
3-year period that ended with the 2009
drawing. (Units with low numbers of
available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
1. For hunt codes that required six or

more points for a Colorado resident
to draw an elk or deer license, up to
20 percent may go to nonresidents.
These hunts are designated in unit
tables by a “+ ” under the “SEX”
column of the hunt tables.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer

» Look at a list of available hunts for the youth

TO PARTICIPATE: Youth hunters must have a limited antlerless or
either-sex license that remains unfilled for a season that has already
ended. All youth hunting rules apply, see page 5 for details.
Youth may participate in a late season that is open after the end of the
fourth rifle season. Check the list of hunts and hunt dates online or at CPW
locations for the dates and locations you can hunt.

Youth hunters with either-sex tags MUST convert their original license at
a CPW location if they haven’t yet harvested and wish to participate in a
youth late season to hunt an antlerless elk.

OTC ARCHERY AND BULL TAGS NOT VALID FOR LATE SEASON:

Youth hunters who purchase an over-the-counter archery tag can no
longer convert it to hunt during the youth late season. As before, bull tags
and either-sex plains rifle tags are not valid for a youth late season hunt.

» You must now purchase your original limited license
(either through the draw or from the leftover list) for any unit
within the red border. So, your original license can be for
any of these GMUs: 70, 71, 72, 73 or 711.
» Pay attention to the red borders around groups of units.
You can only hunt during youth late season within the ONE
red border where you buy your original license.
In this example, you may hunt during the late youth
season ONLY in Unit 70. You may NOT hunt in any other
part of the state during the youth late season.

vhYbRID DRaWIng

To continue expanding quality opportunities to big-game
hunters, the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife Commission has a “hybrid” drawing for select elk, deer,
pronghorn and bear licenses for
the 2013 hunting seasons.
The purpose of the drawing is to give hunters additional
opportunity to draw a license for
some of the state’s premier deer,
elk, pronghorn and bear hunting areas. Hunters who normally
would not have enough preference
points to draw these licenses now
have a slight chance to draw a
small number of the most coveted
licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining
for the Hybrid Drawing.)

hunTeR qualIfICaTIons

1. Hunters must have a minimum

of five preference points for
the species they wish to hunt
to participate in the Hybrid
Drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually (group applications are not
accepted).
3. Hunt codes that contain a “W”
are Ranching for Wildlife
properties. These hunts are for
Colorado residents only.

hoW IT WoRks

In hunt codes that require 10 or
more resident preference points to
draw (based on a three-year average ending with the 2009 drawing),
20 percent of the available licenses
will be issued through a random
drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable
hunt codes (listed below) and have
at least five preference points for
that species will automatically
enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be
entered as your first choice
on your application.
» Winning applicants in the
Hybrid Drawing will be
selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully
draw a license in the Hybrid
Drawing will lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants
will be awarded one point.

Preference points

applications and preference points
group hunt instructions
1. Group hunts: Group applications for any number of people are accepted for all big-game species

in this brochure except moose. Group applications entering the draw for deer, elk, pronghorn and
bear licenses have priority based on the group member with the fewest preference points. Group
members must apply for the same species, hunt code, unit, land restrictions, season and method
of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex. All group members must have the same
hunt code choices on their applications (other than sex). Each members must list the same first-choice
hunt code and the same number of other hunt-code choices. These choices MUST be in the same
order on all group applications. If anyone in the group makes an application error or doesn’t pay
the correct amount, everyone is disqualified.
2. Choose a leader: One person must be chosen as the group leader. If there are discrepancies in
hunt codes on the applications - including number or order - the leader’s hunt code choices are used.
3. Enter same CID number on all applications: All group members — including the group
leader — must enter the same CID number in the group application box to be entered as a group.
If the leader has no CID, leader must call CPW to get one. All group members must use the same
person as the leader.
4. How groups are awarded licenses: Each hunter’s application must be submitted separately.
Groups are assigned a number, and if that number is selected in the drawing, everyone in the
group gets a license. However, if the group is selected and there aren’t enough licenses for everyone in the group, the group will not get licenses; OR if the group includes resident and nonresident applicants and the nonresident cap has been met, the group will not get licenses.
5. Preference points, refunds, notices: If everyone in the group is successful for their first
choice, they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first
choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each individual.

submitting Your Application by mail

1. Mail one check and application per envelope in a standard 4 1/8 by 9 1/2inch envelope to the correct address at right. Don’t fold. If you have a CID
number, write it on the check.
2. You may submit only one application per species, per year. Each species must
be in a separate envelope with separate payment, including group applications. Envelopes with multiple applications can be damaged by the opener.
3. Personal checks, cashier’s checks or money orders are accepted, made out to
Colorado Parks and Wildlife. U.S. currency only. No cash. Credit cards are
accepted online only.
4. Drop boxes are available at the CPW office at 6060 Broadway in Denver.
5. Don’t send applications directly to us unless you were told to do so by CPW.
6. Applications are rejected if your check is returned by the bank.

REFUNDS or preference-point restoration

1. Refunds for unsuccessful applicants are issued by June 27. The $3 process fee
and $10 Habitat Stamp fee are nonrefundable.
2. If you choose to surrender your license to CPW before the season starts, you
may choose to receive either a refund OR have the preference points restored
that you used to obtain the license. To get a refund or preference point restored,
you must relinquish your license and carcass tag before opening day of the
season. License must be accompanied by a completed request form obtained
at a CPW location or on the website. Requests must be postmarked before the
season starts. If there isn’t enough time to request a form, mail your license and
carcass tag with a letter to CPW. It must be postmarked before the season starts
and mailed to CPW, attn: Refund Office, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.
3. After a season starts, refund or preference point restorations are limited to
extreme medical circumstances of licensee, death of the licensee or death of
licensee’s immediate family member, or members of the U.S. military whose
service prevented them from requesting a refund or reinstatement on time.
These requests must be accompanied by sufficient evidence that the
license has not been used and circumstances precluded the licensee from
being able to use the license.
4. Refunds and preference point restorations are not considered more than 30
days after a season starts. This limit is extended for members of the U.S. military as noted above.

PREFERENCE-POINT HUNT CODE

A preference-point hunt code is in the section for each species in this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice on your application automatically awards
you a point. You can choose a hunt code as your second, third or fourth choice.
You must pay the full cost of a license and meet all requirements even if you
are only applying for a point. If you only apply for a point, your money, minus
the $3 process fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is refunded. Another $25 may
be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria under No. 9 in “Gaining and Using
Preference Points” on this page.

applications

1. One preference point is awarded to hunters
who apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice
hunt code for all big-game species. You
may also apply for a preference point
as your first-choice hunt code. Hunters
who make an application error, including
on first-choice hunt codes, do not get a
point.
2. Youths can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. If you are issued a first-choice license, all
accumulated preference points for that
species become void and return to zero.
4. If unsuccessful for a first choice, your accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover drawing application or
other-choice license.
5. Points accumulate until you draw a
first-choice license. If you fail to apply for
or have not purchased a license during
a 10-year period, all accumulated points
for that species are purged from your
record and become void.
6. Priority goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
7. Group application priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
box at right for more group hunt details.
8. Second-, third- and fourth-choice hunts
don’t use or generate points.
9. $25 preference point fee Hunters
will be automatically assessed $25 for a
preference point unless they have purchased one of the following: an annual
fishing, small-game, resident combination small-game and fishing, furbearer, or
a big-game license in the previous year;
or a current limited license in the draw
for the same species for which they seek
a point.
The $25 point fee is also waived for
youths, lifetime license holders, free
senior annual fishing license holders
and Colorado residents who are in the
military on active duty outside Colorado.
10. Weighted preference increases
your probability of drawing. It is
calculated by converting your application number into a different, random
application number, then dividing that
new application number by the amount
of weighted points you have, plus one.
This generates another new application
number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest and
low numbers for each hunt code are
awarded licenses.
The maximum points you can accumulate for moose is three. If you have three
points for moose and you fail to draw
a first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference for that species.
11. Preference points are not transferable.
Points are awarded for specific species,
not by hunt codes or method of take.
12. Active duty U.S. military stationed in
Colorado but deployed outside Colorado
are eligible, when they return home, to
apply for a preference point for a limited
license offered in this year’s drawing.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:
1. The fIRsT leTTeR of the code designates the species. (D = deer, E = elk, A = prong-

horn (antelope), M = moose and B = bear)

2. The seConD leTTeR of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt.

(M = male, F = female and E = either sex)

3. The ThIRD PaRT, ThRee nuMbeRs, designates the unit you want to hunt. (001 =

Unit 1, 201 = Unit 201, etc.; 000 = statewide). If more than one unit is valid for a
hunt code, only the lowest unit number will show in the code.

hunT CoDe

4. The fouRTh PaRT, a leTTeR anD a nuMbeR, indicates hunt dates. For example,

O1 = first season, O2 = second season, O3 = third season and so on. P is for privateland-only hunts followed by the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early
season, L1 = late season, K2, K3 = youth only hunts. There are also Ws for Ranching
for Wildlife and S for a split unit.

For example,
this hunt code
is for: An eithersex deer hunt in
unit 38, during
the first season
for archery.

hunT Tables shoW The lIMITeD lICenses avaIlable. These are
available through the draw or as leftover licenses. Some hunt tables in the bear section
include hunt codes for over-the-counter licenses. These are not available through the draw.
1. The TITle on the top of each table describes the big-game species and method of

take for the hunt codes within that table. Start here to find the method of take you
wish to hunt. Tables are color coded the same throughout the brochure.

2. The unIT ColuMn is where you will look next to locate the game management unit

you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the valID
unITs column will list all the other units where you can hunt with that same
license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and license codes as another unit, the chart will
read, “see unIT”. Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for
your hunt. For example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at right.

3. The valID unIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it
is PRIvaTe lanD onlY or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled private land,

you should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you apply for that
license.

4. The DaTes column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please

look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. The seX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt

code. Please read the information carefully because the permitted sex for a hunt
code may have changed since the previous year.

6. The hunT CoDe column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you

desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted.
Please see section above on how to read hunt codes.

7. The lIsT column displays what type of license you are buying. There are oppor-

10

tunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses
meet the requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see “How to get more
than one license” sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following brochure pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter
on the application.

units that had licenses left over after last year’s
drawing. There may be a good chance of licenses
left over this year, too, giving you a chance to draw
that license as a second, third or fourth choice on
your application, or by purchasing a leftover license.

3. a Plus ( + ) In the seX column indicates hunt

codes for which an average of a least six preference points are needed for a resident to draw that
license. These calculations are based on a 3-year
period ending with the 2009 drawing.

The sunrise/sunset

Add 1 minute to opening and closing time for
each 12 1/2 miles west of

1 degree of longitude
equals a 4-minute change
in sunrise and sunset

MaRk YouR haRvesT
sITe WITh YouR gPs

Hunters who have GPS
units are encouraged to
mark the location of their
harvest in the field.
This is especially important for hunters who
harvest a bear or moose.
During mandatory inspections, hunters will be
asked to give a location of
their harvest. Having GPS
coordinates makes reporting simple and precise.
Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal and
save the UTM or longitude and
latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the check
report at harvest inspections.

CPW conducts big-game harvest
surveys each year to estimate
harvest, hunter numbers and
recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or e-mail,
asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where
you hunted, if you harvested an
animal, if you were satisfied with
your experience and if you saw
overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters
can participate. Participation is
not required, but responding —
even if you didn’t hunt or harvest
— is an important part of setting
license numbers for next year.
If contacted, you can take the
survey online, www.ColoradoHunt
Reports.com or call 1-877-2371666 to speak to a person. The
survey runs 24 hours daily, October through mid-February. See the
CPW website for details.

2013 Colorado Big Game Hunting

HUNTERS MUST WEAR DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE
It is a legal requirement for hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange material on an outer garment above
the waist while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose with any firearm license. A fluorescent orange hat or head covering, visible from all directions, is also required. This includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. Archers hunting during a limited bear season or archers hunting with
an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license do not have to wear fluorescent orange. Auction- and raffle-license holders do not have to wear
orange when hunting with archery equipment when no rifle seasons are open. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange
that is visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
Camouflage orange does not qualify. Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is for hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange like we do. Movement,
sound and smell are what give hunters away.
how to hunt
ethically

it’s against the law to:
» If convicted of these felony violations, you can
face a lifetime license suspension:

2. Felony offense: To sell, buy or offer to sell
or buy big game.
3. Felony offense: To solicit someone to
illegally kill big game for commercial gain or
provide outfitting services without required
registration.

in charge.
15. Fail to reasonably dress, care for and prepare
edible wildlife meat (all species in this brochure)
for human consumption. At a minimum, the
four quarters, tenderloins and backstraps are
edible meat. Internal organs are not.
16. Shoot from or across a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle,
handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be
at least 50 feet from the centerline of the road.
17. Party hunt (kill someone else’s game or let
someone kill yours).

4. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun
in or on any motor vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles
are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if the powder is
removed from flashpan. It is illegal for anyone to
have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader
in or on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is
unloaded or the battery is disconnected and
removed from its compartment.

18. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to flee by
using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by
vehicle; throwing objects; making movements;
harassing hunters by using threats or actions;
erecting barriers to deny access to hunting areas
and intentionally injecting yourself into the line
of fire. Violators face prosecution and may have
to pay victim’s damages and court costs.

5. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an OHV
during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and
magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed
in a hard or soft case. Scabbards or cases with
open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not
apply to landowners or their agents who carry a
firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife
on property they own or lease.

19. Use the Internet or other computer-assisted remote technology while hunting or fishing. Hunters and anglers must be physically present in the
immediate vicinity while hunting and fishing.

6. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release
an arrow disregarding human life or property.
7. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and cased, or with
a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound
bows must be cased, not unstrung.
8. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle,
off-highway vehicle, snowmobile or aircraft to
hunt, intercept, chase, harass or drive wildlife.
9. Use aircraft to hunt, to direct hunters on the
ground or to hunt the same day or day after a
flight was made to find wildlife.
10. Hunt under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
11. Use artificial light as an aid in hunting wildlife.
12. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or
harass wildlife.
13. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
14. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and
kill animals you wound or may have wounded.
It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife
that goes on private property without first
obtaining permission from landowner or person

20. For two or more people on the ground, in a
vehicle or vessel to use electronic devices to communicate information that violates any wildlife
law or regulation.
21. Use dogs or bait to hunt bear, deer, elk,
pronghorn or moose. Bait means to put, expose,
distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal
parts or other food as an attraction for big game.
Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for
bears.
22. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more
cubs. A cub is a bear less than a year old.
23. It is prohibited to hunt bears in their dens.
24. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of
bears or mountain lions without a valid hunting
license or unless authorized by CPW.
25. Sell, trade, barter or offer to sell, trade or barter
bear gall bladders or edible portions of bears.
26. Hunt on private land without first obtaining
permission from landowner or person in charge.
27. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not
under an exclusive-control lease, are private.
28. Hunt or fish on State Land Board properties not
leased and signed by CPW without permission
of lessee.
29. Only portable blinds or tree stands may be erected. All man-made materials used for blinds or
tree stands must be removed within 10 days after
the end of the season in which you are hunting.

BAG LIMITS &amp; SEASON
PARTICIPATION RESTRICTIONS
1. Limited licenses: You can submit only one

application in the drawing per species, per
license year. No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag
and possession limit is the total number of animals you can legally kill of each species. Big game
killed in January and February seasons set as part
of the previous license year’s seasons fall under
that year’s bag and possession limit. When a
license allows hunting in more than one unit, the
unit in the hunt code determines the maximum
number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year
for that species.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. Coyotes: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on the big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or
furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big-game license.

reference

1. Felony offense: To kill and abandon big
game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers
or other trophy parts and leave the carcass in
the field.

CARCASS TAGS

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must stay on until meat is
processed and remain with meat until consumed. It
is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the
tag, you must get a duplicate from a CPW office
(listed on inside front cover) before hunting and
prove the loss, detachment or destruction was
accidental. Do not remove other parts of a license
except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the
license, and you must buy a duplicate.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD
testing, leave evidence of sex on the carcass.

2. Evidence of sex is:

a. Buck/Bull: Head with antlers or horns at-

tached to carcass; or testicle, scrotum or penis
attached to carcass.
b. Doe/Cow: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva
attached to carcass.
c. Black Bear: Male: testicles or penis.
Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not

4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned,
online
evidence of sex only needs to be attached to a quarter or another major
part of carcass. All portions must be
transported together.
5. Evidence of sex not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds
of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed
meat (commercially or otherwise), wrapped and
frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State and Federal law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is
not displayed on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support
Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
suspended for noncompliance with child support. Any current licenses become invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

Turn In Poachers (TIPs) PROGRAM

REFERENCE

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:

a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex

and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.

b. Carcass tags — or donation certificates for 20 pounds of meat or

less — must accompany processed game meat.

2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers or horns,

or must accompany processed meat.

3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass

tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.

4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments

must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service.

DONATING GAME MEAT

Donation certificates are required for all game meat donations. Certificates must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s hunting license number; species and amounts donated;
date of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
Note: A “like license” is a license for exactly the same species, sex, season
and method of take as a donor’s license.
1. You can donate to someone with or without a like license:
a. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat, anywhere.
2. You can donate to someone without a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
3. You can donate to someone with a like license:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
c. the entire carcass, if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s like-license carcass tag is on the
meat, voiding both licenses.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to a CPW office (listed on inside front cover) before continuing to hunt and as soon as
practical. Before contacting CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the
circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count
toward annual bag limits.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number, color,
harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)

Watch
All OHVs operated in Colorado on public lands or if traveling
more
on an OHV designated route must have a valid Colorado
online
OHV registration or a Colorado OHV permit (except on
private property).
Registrations/Permits are $25.25, valid April 1-March 31.
OHV Permits (applicable for nonresidents and street legal/plated
vehicles) are available online at parksstore.state.co.us, at CPW
locations and license agents. Questions, call (303) 791-1920. Renewal registrations are available online and at CPW locations. New registrations and transfers
must be done in person or by mail. Visit cpw.state.co.us for more details.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications and hours, and
agency maps. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval w/any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

HUNTERS USING HORSES

You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses need a Coggins blood test
for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call Colorado
State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may require
brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303) 294-0895.

even for a point. If you apply for
a point only, your money, minus
the $3 process fee and $10 Habitat
Stamp fee, will be refunded.
Hunters may also be charged
$25 if you don’t meet the criteria for
a free preference point.
For more, see No. 9 of “Gaining and
Using Preference Points” on page 7.
nonresidents must pay at least
$354 to apply for an elk preference
point, plus a $10 Habitat Stamp fee.
If your second, third or fourth choice
is for bull or either sex, or if your unsuccessful option is for an unlimited
bull license, you must pay $589, plus
the $10 Habitat Stamp fee.

HUnters MUst Get bear
insPeCtions anD seals

Hunters must personally present bears to a
CPW office (listed on the inside cover) for a free
inspection, check report and sealing within five
working days after the kill.
Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when
presented for inspection. Seals must be attached
to the hide until tanned.
Contact the nearest CPW office or CPW officer for inspection and sealing.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the head and
hide are frozen, the CPW may keep them long
enough to thaw so that a tooth can be removed.
Hunters can help by making sure the jaw is
propped open with a stick before rigor sets in.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and sealed.
Having a bear hide without a seal after the
five-day period is illegal, and the hide becomes state property.
To transport a bear or parts to a foreign
country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, (303) 342-7430. Do not call the U.S.F.S.
about inspections or seals for bears.

HoW to Get More tHan one bear liCense
attention: You may submit ONLY ONE application per species each year. Additional licenses
for the same species must be obtained as leftovers, over the counter, or special licenses issued by
CPW. Hunt tables on the following pages show whether each bear license is List A, B, or C.

HUntinG restriCtions

1. hunting, harvesting or harassing bears

inside their dens is prohibited.

2. Black bears accompanied by one or more

52

cubs cannot be killed. cubs — bears
younger than one year old — cannot be
killed.
3. hunters cannot hunt bear with an “overthe-counter with caps” bear license in a
regular rifle deer or elk season west of
i-25 or in unit 140, unless the hunter also
has a deer or elk license for the same unit,
season and method of take. if the deer or
elk license is restricted to private land, so
is the bear license.
this does not apply to archery or
muzzleloading bear licenses, or hunt

codes B-e-058-P5-r, B-e-059-P5-r,
B-e-083-P1-r or B-e-084-P5-r.
4. hunters can hunt bears only with an “overthe-counter with caps” bear license in one
bear season. if the deer or elk season dates
overlap more than one bear season, the
hunter must pick one bear season when
purchasing a license.

HoW to aPPlY For
a PreFerenCe Point

to apply for a point, enter b-P-999-99-P as
your first-choice hunt code on your application.
you can gain a preference point as your
first choice on your application to use another year. you can use your second to fourth
choices to apply for a license.
if you apply for a point only, your money,

minus the $3 process fee and $10 habitat
stamp fee, will be refunded.
you may also be charged $25 if you don’t
meet the criteria for a free preference point.
For more, see No. 9 of “Gaining and Using
Preference Points” on page 7.

HoW to reaD sYMbols
in HUnt CoDe tables
» an asterisk ( * ) in the “sex” column
indicates units that had licenses left after last
year’s drawing.
» a PlUs ( + ) in the “sex” column indicates
hunt codes for which an average of a least six
preference points are needed for a colorado
resident to draw that license. Calculated on
a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

�NOTE: There are no archery or muzzleloader hunts for bear available in the draw.

most of the time, properly handled and
prepared game meat poses no greater
risk than domestic meat of causing
or carrying disease that could make
humans sick. hunters are encouraged to
contact their local public health department or cPw oﬃce for information on
wildlife diseases where they plan to hunt.
Public health oﬃcials recommend the
following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:
1. do not handle animals that are obvi-

ously sick or found dead. report sick
or dead animals you find to a cPw
oﬃce near you.

Testing your harvest for CWD

Photo © Wayne Lewis, CPW

What is it?

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological
disease that affects some big-game animals.
The disease attacks the brains of free-ranging and
captive deer, elk and moose, causing the animals to
become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and uncoordination, and eventually die. Infected animals can
show no signs of illness throughout much of the disease.

Where is it?

CWD has been found in parts of this state and several
other states and provinces. In Colorado, infection rates
appear higher in males and older animals.
As a result of testing, CWD has been detected in units
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 51, 59,
69, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100, 101,
102, 104, 107, 109, 131, 161, 171, 181, 191, 211, 214, 231,
301, 361, 371, 391, 421, 441, 461, 521, 591, 951. These
units are highlighted on the map on the opposite page.
Surveillance summaries also are posted on the CPW
website.

precautions to follow

gmu | land

CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and federal health experts.
However, the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment and CPW advise hunters
to take simple precautions when handling carcasses of deer, elk and moose from units where the
disease has been detected.

60

» Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that
appear sick.
» Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and
processing animals.
» Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic
tissues.
» Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after
field dressing.
» Bone out meat from your animal (following
evidence of sex and antler-point regulations).
» Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen,
pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes.
» Do not eat meat from CWD-positive animals.

CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available statewide.
The test costs up to $25 per animal
when submitted through CPW. See the
CPW webpage (address above) in early
August for costs and other details. Test
costs may be waived at CPW office submission sites (listed on the inside cover)
in seasons or units where more samples
are needed.
See moose inspection requirements on
page 50 for more details.

Avoid shooting an animal in the head
or neck.
When removing the head, leave 1-2
inches below where the neck joins the
skull (just below the first vertebrae).
Whole brains or other brain pieces are
not accepted for testing.
Alternate tissues may be used for
testing. Check the website for details on
how to obtain and deliver these tissues.

ratory for testing.
Testing is for CWD screening only
and does not assure the absolute safety
of meat for human consumption. Testing
accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending
on sample type and quality.
No test can assure complete accuracy,
and “not detected” results don’t exclude
the possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided on the CPW
website or by calling (303) 297-1192.
Tests are completed as soon as possible. The goal is to provide results within
10-15 working days, subject to volume
and laboratory backlog. Suspected positive results are confirmed by a second
test, which takes 7-10 more working days.
Because moose samples are tested
differently than deer and elk, their initial
results may not be available for 15-20
working days or more.
Hunters whose animals test positive
are contacted by CPW. If you don’t get
test results more than three weeks (15
working days) after submission, call a
CPW office.

Collecting samples
in the field

LICENSE FEE AND
OTHER REFUNDS

PREPARING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

Hunters may want to learn to collect
samples themselves. Keep samples or
heads cold but not frozen. Do not submerge in water.
Submit samples or heads as soon as
possible, no more than five days after
harvest. Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However, animals
from units with antler-point restrictions
must comply with regulations.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

You can take heads or tissue samples
to a CPW office submission site (listed
on the inside cover) or a participating
veterinarian.
You must bring your license so that
CPW can scan the bar code and obtain
your address and phone number. You
will be asked for kill site coordinates or to
show it on a map at the submission site,
along with the unit and date of harvest.
If someone else submits your animal,
they must bring your CID number, but
you should keep your license. Submitters should bring the information listed
above.
See the webpage above in early
August for submission sites, hours and
other details.

TEST RESULTS

All samples are sent to Colorado State
University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Labo-

Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test
positive for CWD are eligible for a
license fee refund or an antlerless license.
If the hunting season has ended or
there’s not a reasonable amount of time
left in the current season, CPW may
issue an antlerless license for the next
year’s season in the same unit where the
animal was killed. If antlerless hunting
isn’t offered in that unit, CPW can designate a substitute unit.
FOR MOOSE: If the original license
was for a season that closed before Oct.
31, the replacement license will be valid
until Oct. 31.
When paid, costs for processing
CWD- positive animals are refunded.
Requests for reimbursements must be
made on CPW forms and accompanied
by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50
for processing allowed without receipts.
Reimbursements for deer and elk are
limited to $100 per animal for private
processing or $200 per animal for
commercial processing. The maximum
allowed for commercial processing of
moose is $250.

CARCASS TRANSPORT
RESTRICTIONS

Nonresidents are encouraged to check
with non-Colorado wildlife agencies to
see if carcass restrictions apply before
taking deer, elk or moose carcasses from
Colorado through other states.

�2012 Colorado Big Game Hunting

DIReCToR’s Message

Watch a videocast with Rick
Cables, the new
director of
Colorado Parks
and Wildlife.

ON THE COVER
Colorado resident Andrea
Sokolowski harvested a bull in
the 2011 first-rifle season during
a hunting
trip with her
friend Lindsay Gartner.
Andrea
said she
spooked a
bull the night
before less
than a quarter-mile from
their truck
and decided to track it the next
day. Fifteen minutes of hiking
put her face-to-face with this
bull, standing in the same place
he had been the night before. A
100-yard shot brought a happy
end to her hunt on the second
to last day of the season.
“I feel lucky to have harvested
a bull the past couple of years,”
she writes. “Every year, I learn
more about elk behavior and
every year I realize I have so
much more to learn.”
Read the rest of Andrea’s story
and share your own photos and
hunt stories on the CPW website

We may use yours in print. See
the website for details.

WHAT’S NEW2012
NEW IN THE
FIELD

!

see The MaP, Page 4
laTe season youTh elk hunT Changes —

There are changes this year to the rules for late
season youth hunts in northwest Colorado.
Late season hunts were established as a management tool for reducing elk populations. Harvest
from these seasons have contributed to CPW’s success in achieving elk population objectives.
Managing the number of youth hunters in these
units will allow CPW to better account for youth
participation and ensure the long-term viability of
elk populations in northwest Colorado.
To achieve this, late hunts in many units are being
restricted to include only youth hunters who hold a
license originally valid for units 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14,
23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34, 131, 211, 214, 231 and 301.
See the season details and a map of designated
hunting areas on page 4.

» elk

laTe season Changes — In an effort to manage

herd populations, there are several late-season
hunt closures to be aware of, including hunts in
units 65, 72 and 82. Check the elk tables starting
on page 33.

» DeeR

season ChoICe Tags — New hunts have been

added this year as season choice hunts. These
now include plains hunts for whitetails only in
units 93, 97, 98, 100, 101 and 102. See page 16 for
details and hunt codes.

oTheR DeeR hunT Changes — A new early

season high-country rifle hunt for bucks has been
added. This license is good for hunting units 48,

56, 481 and 561 from Sept. 8-16.
A new rifle doe season on private land only has
also been created in GMU 56 to manage urban
deer populations around Salida and Buena Vista.
See the hunt tables for the specific hunting area.
Fourth-season buck hunts in units 41, 42, 61,
62 and 421 will not be available this year.
Some licenses for areas north of Craig to the
White River have been changed from List B to List
A tags. Hunters may only purchase one List A tag
to hunt deer.
Details about each hunt can be found in the tables
starting on page 17.

» PRonghoRn

MoRe lIsT b lICenses avaIlable — Many

pronghorn licenses traditionally classified as List
A licenses have now been classified as List B.
Hunters may purchase up to two List B licenses
during the year, which increases your opportunity
to harvest an animal.
Check hunt codes carefully in the brochure tables
starting on page 47 to see if your license is now
considered a List B tag.

neW hunTs — New private-land-only pronghorn

hunts have been established in GMUs 9, 88 and
191. These hunts run from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31. As
always with private-land tags, it is advised to get
permission from landowners before applying for
the license.

CloseD hunTs — All hunts in GMUs 41, 62 and

411 have been closed to manage game populations.

» beaR

hunT CoDe Changes — Bear hunters should pay

close attention to hunt codes this year, as there have
been changes to the way GMUs are grouped. The
hunt code for the unit you like to hunt may have
changed since last year, and your license may be
valid for different units than what you are used to.
Check the bear hunt tables, starting on page 53,
carefully while filling out your application.

Nonresident allocations are determined
by the average number of preference
points a Colorado resident needed
to draw a specific license during a
3-year period that ended with the 2009
drawing. (Units with low numbers of
available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
more points for a Colorado resident
to draw an elk or deer license, up to
20 percent may go to nonresidents.
These hunts are shown in unit tables
by a “+ ” under the “SEX” column of
the hunt tables.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer
than six points for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up
to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase
if licenses remain after drawing all
first-choice hunt codes for Colorado
residents.
4. License allocations do not apply to
private-land-only and Ranching For
Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of
both residents and nonresidents, all

Youths with an unfilled either-sex
pronghorn license must bring that

and get it converted to a doe license
before hunting in a December
season. Doe licenses do not need to
be converted, the original license is
valid for a late hunt.
Youths must comply with all
regulations that apply to the December season they hunt. Unfilled
pronghorn buck licenses may not be
used to participate in this program.

Youths must be at least 12 and meet
hunter education requirements to
hunt big game in Colorado. At age
11, youths can buy or apply for a
license if they turn 12 before the
end of season on the license. Youths
cannot hunt with the license until
they turn 12.
Fees are reduced for deer, elk and

pronghorn licenses for youths ages
12-17. Hunters younger than 16
must be accompanied by a mentor
who is 18 or older and also meets
hunter education requirements.
Mentors don’t have to hunt. Youths
and mentors must be able to see and
hear each other while hunting.
Youths cannot apply for a reducedcost limited license if they turn 18
on or before Feb. 12 this year. Youths
must be 12-17 to buy a reduced-cost
unlimited or leftover license.

1. Up to 15 percent of limited

licenses for doe pronghorn, doe
and either-sex deer and cow elk

These licenses are available by
drawing. Licenses not drawn by
youths are available to the public.
(Muzzleloader and late rifle seasons, the Air Force Academy unit
and Ranching for Wildlife hunts
are excluded from this.)
2. Group applications are not accepted. If you enter more than

hybRID DRaWIng

In an effort to expand quality opportunities to big-game hunters,
the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission has established
a “hybrid” drawing for select elk,
deer, pronghorn and bear licenses
for the 2012 hunting seasons.
The purpose of the drawing is to give hunters additional
opportunity to draw a license for
some of the state’s premier deer,
elk, pronghorn and bear hunting areas. Hunters who normally
would not have enough preference
points to draw these licenses now
have a slight chance to draw a
small number of the most coveted
licenses through this process.
Nonresident caps apply. (Units
with low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining
for the Hybrid Drawing.)

hunTeR qualIfICaTIons

1. Hunters must have a minimum

of five preference points for
the species they wish to hunt
to participate in the Hybrid
Drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually (group applications are not
accepted).
3. Hunt codes that contain a W1
or W2 are Ranching for Wildlife

properties. These hunts are for
Colorado residents only.

hoW IT WoRks

In hunt codes that require 10 or
more resident preference points to
draw (based on a three-year average ending with the 2009 drawing),
20 percent of the available licenses
will be issued through a random
drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable
hunt codes (listed below) and have
at least five preference points for
that species will automatically
enter the Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be
entered as your first choice
on your application.
» Winning applicants in the Hybrid Drawing will be selected
randomly.
» Hunters who successfully
draw a license in the Hybrid
Drawing will lose all of their
preference points for that species. Unsuccessful applicants
will be awarded one point.

license drawing.
4. Successful landowners receive a voucher
for each winning hunt code.

LANDOWNER PILOT
PUBLIC LICENSES

The landowner pilot program offers elk
hunting in units 1 and 10. The hunts are
designated in the hunt code tables by Y2,
Y3, Y4 and Y5 hunt codes. Licenses are
valid in the entire unit, as well as private
properties successful in the pilot program.
If you draw one of these licenses, you will
receive a list of participating landowners
and other details in the mail in September.
CPW also has a pilot program for elk in
GMUs 1 and 10 and for pronghorn east of
I-25. Please call (303) 291-7380 for regis-

tration forms and more information.

LANDOWNER VOUCHER
INFORMATION

The following guidelines are for landowner
vouchers. Visit the CPW website for more
details, www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/
BigGame/PriorityLandowner/Pages/Priority
Landowner.aspx.

1. The landowner must transfer the

voucher directly to the hunter.

2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when

the hunter’s name is written on the
voucher, or the landowner hands (or
mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred
one time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the
voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to
another hunter, even if the voucher has
not been redeemed for a license.
5. The transfer of a voucher gives the
hunter permission to hunt on the land
for which the voucher was awarded and
for the duration of the season printed on
the voucher during legal hunting hours.
The landowner may restrict manner of
access (i.e. foot, horseback, vehicle, etc).
6. The voucher must be taken to a license
agent or Wildlife Service Center to be
redeemed for a proper and valid license
PRIOR to hunting. The appropriate
license fees are paid at that time.
7. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure
you can legally have the license before
acquiring a landowner voucher.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available
from Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

game hunts except moose. Group applications entering the draw for deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear licenses have priority based on the group member with the fewest preference
points. Group members must apply for the same species, hunt code unit, land restrictions, season and method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different sex.
Each group member must have the same first-choice hunt code on their applications, as well as
the same number of other license choices. These choices MUST be in the same order on all group
applications. If anyone in the group makes an application error or doesn’t pay the correct amount,
everyone is disqualified and won’t get a preference point.
2. Choose a leader: One person must be chosen as the group leader. If there are discrepancies in
hunt codes on the applications, the leader’s hunt code choices are used.
3. Enter same CID number on all applications: All group members — including the group leader
— must enter the same CID number in the group application box to be entered as a group. If the
leader has no CID, leader must call CPW to get one. All group members must use the same person as
the leader.
4. How groups are awarded licenses: Each hunter’s application must be mailed separately.
Groups are assigned a number, and if that number is selected in the drawing, everyone in the
group gets a license. However, if the group is selected and there aren’t enough licenses for everyone in the group, the group will not get licenses; OR if the group includes resident and nonresident
applicants and the nonresident cap has been met, the group will not get licenses.
5. Preference points, refunds, notices: If everyone in the group is successful for their first
choice, they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first
choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each person.

submitting Your Application

1. Mail one check and application per envelope in a standard 4 1/8 by 9 1/2-inch
envelope to the correct address at right. Don’t fold. If you have a CID number, write it on the check.
2. You may submit only one application per species, per year. Each species must
be in a separate envelope with separate payment, including group applications. Envelopes with multiple applications can be damaged by the opener.
3. Personal checks, cashier’s checks or money orders are accepted, made out to
Colorado Parks and Wildlife. U.S. currency only. No cash. Credit cards are
accepted online only.
4. Drop boxes are available at the Northeast Service Center at 6060 Broadway.
5. Don’t send applications directly to us unless your name changed or you were
told to do so by CPW.
6. Applications are rejected if your check is returned by the bank.

REFUNDS or preference-point restoration

1. To get a refund or preference point restored, you must relinquish your license
and carcass tag before opening day of the season. License must be accompanied by a completed request form obtained at a Wildlife Service Center or on
the website. Requests must be postmarked before the season starts. If there
isn’t enough time to request a form, mail your license and carcass tag with a
letter to CPW. The envelope must be postmarked before the season starts and
mailed to CPW, attn: Refund Office, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO 80216.
2. Refunds for unsuccessful applicants are issued by June 28. The $3 process fee
and $10 Habitat Stamp fee are nonrefundable.
If you choose to surrender your license to CPW before the season starts,
you may choose to receive either a refund OR have the preference points
restored that you used to apply.
After a season starts, refund or preference point restorations are limited
to extreme medical circumstances of licensee, death of the licensee or death
of licensee’s immediate family member. These requests must be accompanied
by sufficient evidence that the license has not been used and circumstances
precluded the licensee from being able to use the license.
3. Refunds and preference point restorations are not considered more than 30
days after a season starts. This limit is extended for members of the U.S. military whose service prevented requesting a refund on time.

PREFERENCE-POINT HUNT CODE

A preference-point hunt code is in the sections for each species in this brochure.
Entering this hunt code as a first choice on your application automatically awards
you a point. You can choose a hunt code as your second, third or fourth choice.
You must pay the full cost of a license and meet all requirements even if you
are only applying for a point. If you only apply for a point, your money, minus
the $3 process fee and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is refunded. Another $25 may
be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria under No. 9 in “Gaining and Using
Preference Points” on this page.

applications

1. One preference point is
awarded to hunters who
apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for
a first-choice hunt code for all big-game
species. You may also apply for a preference point as your first-choice hunt code.
Hunters who make an application error,
including on first-choice hunt codes, do
not get a point.
2. Youths can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. If you are issued a first-choice license, all
accumulated preference points for that
species become void.
4. If unsuccessful for a first choice, your accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover drawing application or
other-choice license.
5. Points accumulate until you draw a
first-choice license. If you fail to apply for
or have not purchased a license during
a 10-year period, all accumulated points
for that species are purged from your
record and become void.
6. Priority goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
7. Group application priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
box at right for more group hunt details.
8. Second-, third- and fourth-choice hunts
don’t use or generate points.
9. $25 preference point fee Hunters
will be automatically assessed $25 for a
preference point unless they have purchased one of the following: an annual
fishing, small-game, resident combination small-game and fishing, furbearer license in the previous year or a big-game
license in the previous year or a current
limited license for the same species for
which they may be seeking a point.
The $25 point fee is also waived for
youths, lifetime license holders, free
senior annual fishing license holders
and Colorado residents who are in the
military on active duty outside Colorado.
10. Weighted preference increases
your probability of drawing. It is
calculated by converting your application number into a different, random
application number, then dividing that
new application number by the amount
of weighted points you have, plus one.
This generates another new application
number. Applications are sorted by this
new number from lowest to highest and
low numbers for each hunt code are
awarded licenses.
The maximum points you can accumulate for moose is three. If you have
three points for moose and you fail to
draw a first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference for that species.
11. Preference points are not transferable.
Points are awarded for specific species,
not by hunt codes or method of take.
12. Active duty U.S. military stationed in
Colorado but deployed outside Colorado
are eligible, when they return home, to
apply for a preference point for a limited
license offered in this year’s drawing.

1. The TITle on the top of each table describes the big-game species and method of

take for the hunt codes within that table. Start here to find the method of take you
wish to hunt. Tables are color coded the same throughout the brochure.

2. The unIT ColuMn is where you will look next to locate the game management unit

you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can
hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the valID unITs
column will list all the other units where you can hunt with that same license.
» If a unit has the same hunt details and license codes as another unit, the chart
will read, “see unIT”. Look up the unit referred to for the correct hunt codes for
your hunt. For example, see unit 37 in the sample chart at left.

3. The valID unIT column will also display information for each hunt and whether it
is PRIvaTe lanD only or has other restrictions. If a hunt is labeled private land,

you should get permission from a landowner in that unit before you hunt.

4. The DaTes column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid. Please

look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

5. The seX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific hunt

code. Please read the information carefully because the permitted sex for a hunt
code may have changed since the previous year.

6. The hunT CoDe column displays the code you will use to apply for the license you

desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes associated with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted.
Please see section below on how to read hunt codes.

7. The lIsT column displays what type of license you are buying. There are opportuni-

ties to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses meet
the requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see “How to get more than
one license” sections under the big-game species you’d like to hunt in the following
brochure pages. When applying in the draw, DO NOT include the list letter on the
application.

oTheR hunT Table syMbols
1. a DoT ( • ) In the unIT column indicates there is

a special note about that unit. Notes can be found
directly below the hunt code information. For
example, see unit 40 above.

2. an asTeRIsk ( * ) In the seX column indicates

units that had licenses left over after last year’s
drawing. There may be a good chance there will be
licenses left over this year, too, giving you a chance
to hunt that unit by purchasing a leftover license.

3. a Plus ( + ) In the seX column indicates hunt codes

for which an average of a least six preference points
are needed for a resident to draw that license. These
calculations are based on a 3-year period ending
with the 2009 drawing.

Learning how to read hunt codes can ensure that you apply for the right hunt in the limited license drawing each year. Here’s a quick how-to:

1. The fIRsT leTTeR of the code designates the species. (D = deer, E = elk, A = prong-

horn (antelope), M = moose and B = bear)

2. The seConD leTTeR of the code designates the sex of the animal you want to hunt.

(M = male, F = female and E = either sex)

3. The ThIRD PaRT, ThRee nuMbeRs, designates the unit you want to hunt. (001 =

Unit 1, 201 = Unit 201, etc.; 000 = statewide). If more than one unit is valid for a
hunt code, only the lowest unit number will show in the code.

4. The fouRTh PaRT, a leTTeR anD a nuMbeR, indicates hunt dates. For example,

O1 = first season, O2 = second season, O3 = third season and so on. P is for privateland-only hunts followed by the season number: P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. E1 = early
season, L1 = late season. There are also Ws for Ranching for Wildlife and S for a split
unit.

5. The lasT leTTeR in the hunt code indicates what manner of take the license is good

Hunters who have GPS
units are encouraged to
mark the location of their
harvest in the field.
This is especially
important for hunters
who harvest a bear. During the mandatory bear
inspection, hunters will be
asked to give a location of
their harvest. Having GPS
coordinates makes reporting
simple and precise.
Use your GPS to set a waypoint
where you harvest an animal and
save the UTM or longitude and
latitude coordinates. Bring that information to record on the check
report at harvest inspections.

haRvesT suRveys
assess saTIsfaCTIon

CPW conducts big-game harvest
surveys each year to estimate
harvest, hunter numbers and
recreation days.
Deer, elk and pronghorn hunters
may receive a phone call or e-mail,
asking to take part in a survey. This
includes questions such as: where
you hunted, if you harvested an
animal, if you were satisfied with
your experience and if you saw
overcrowding from other hunters.
Only randomly selected hunters
can participate. Participation is
not required, but responding —
even if you didn’t hunt or harvest
— is an important part of setting
license numbers for next year.
If contacted, you can take the
survey online, www.ColoradoHunt
Reports.com or call 1-877-2371666 to speak to a person. The
survey runs 24 hours daily, October through mid-February. See the

2012 Colorado Big Game Hunting

HUNTERS MUST WEAR DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT ORANGE
It is a legal requirement for hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange material in an outer garment above the waist
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose with any firearm license. Part of the fluorescent orange must be a hat or head covering visible from all
directions. This includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange that is
visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
Camouflage orange does not qualify. Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. CPW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is for hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange like we do. Movement,
sound and smell are what give hunters away. Archers hunting during a limited bear season or archers hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn
or moose license do not have to wear fluorescent orange.

during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and
magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed

open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not
apply to landowners or their agents who carry a
firearm on an OHV to take depredating wildlife

violating any wildlife law or regulation.
21. Use dogs or bait to hunt bears, deer, elk,

stands must be removed within 10 days after the
end of the season in which you are hunting.

1. Limited licenses: You can submit only one

application in the drawing per species, per year.
No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag and
possession limit is the total number of animals
you can legally kill of each species. Big game
killed in January and February seasons set as part
of the previous calendar year’s seasons fall under
that year’s bag and possession limit. When a
license allows hunting in more than one unit, the
unit in the hunt code determines the maximum
number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year
for that species.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is
one, except for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. Coyotes: You can hunt coyotes without a smallgame license during big-game seasons if you have
an unfilled big-game license. You can hunt coyotes
only in the same unit, season and manner of take
as on the big-game license. Once you fill your
big-game license, you must buy a small-game or
furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big-game license.

You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per
instructions on tag. Tags must stay on until meat is
processed and remain with meat until consumed. It
is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach
the tag, you must get a duplicate from a Wildlife
Service Center before hunting and prove the loss,
detachment or destruction was accidental. Do not
remove other parts of a license except the carcass
tag after a kill. Doing so voids the license, and you
must buy a duplicate.

EVIDENCE OF SEX

1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass

without evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD

impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at Wildlife Service Centers, on the website, or call (303) 297-1192.

hunters with MOBILITY IMPAIrments

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters

with mobility impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment
resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but not
limited to, prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or arm
crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at Wildlife Service Centers and must be mailed
with license fees to CPW, Limited Licenses, 6060 Broadway, Denver, CO
80216. Applications accepted from the Monday after the Wildlife Commission meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are firstcome, first-served until unit and program caps are reached.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY

State law requires a Social Security number to buy a license. It is not displayed
on the license but is provided, if requested, to Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those suspended for
noncompliance with child support. In addition, any current licenses become
invalid if held by an individual who is noncompliant with child support.

TIPs PROGRAM

TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point for species of choice or unlimited
license for the species reported. Some limited licenses may be available.
TIPs licenses do not count toward annual bag and possession limits.

REFERENCE

TRANSPORTING GAME

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone

else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates must accompany processed
game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers, or must
accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments
must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service for
information.

DONATING GAME MEAT

1. Donation certificates are required for game meat donations. Certificates

must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and
recipient; donor’s license number; species and amounts donated; date
of kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special
form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
2. A “like license” is a license for the same species, sex, season and
method of take as a donor’s license.
3. Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
4. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat can be donated to
anyone, anywhere.
5. You can donate to someone without a “like license”:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
6. You can donate to someone with a “like license”:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
(3) If the entire carcass is donated, donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s
“like license” must be attached to carcass.

ACCIDENTAL KILL

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to a Wildlife Service
Center before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting
CPW, field dress the animal. CPW evaluates the circumstances, including
shots fired, species and number of animals present, firearms or ammunition,
etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS

If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number, color,
harvest location and date to CPW and return the radio collars.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)

All OHVs operated in Colorado on public lands or if traveling
Watch
on an OHV designated route must have a valid Colorado
more
OHV registration or a Colorado OHV permit (except on
online
private property).

person or by mail. Visit www.parks.state.co.us for more detail.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motor
vehicle-use rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications and hours, and
agency maps. Most areas do not allow off-trail game retrieval w/any motorized vehicle. If you witness or observe a violation of OHV misuse on public
lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer in that area.

HUNTERS BRINGING/USING HORSES

for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call Colorado
State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may require
brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303) 294-0895.

Recommendations about using lead bullets with game meat
Concerns have been raised about the potential
risk of exposure to lead from eating wild game
harvested with lead bullets. Ingesting lead from
a variety of sources can cause significant health
problems, especially in young children and
pregnant women.
Not enough research has been done to fully
evaluate potential health risks that may be associated with lead in game meat, but data from a recent
study suggest these risks are low for most people.
The Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment and CPW offer recommendations to minimize exposure to lead:
Lead fragments cannot be eliminated
with complete certainty, so pregnant

OPERATION
GAME THIEF
1-877-265-6648

women and children younger than 6 should avoid
eating meat from game animals harvested with
lead bullets. These people are more sensitive to
the health effects of lead, and ingesting even small
amounts may be harmful. Lead can affect the
development of infants and young children.
Hunters can use lead-free shot or bullets to

eliminate lead in game meat. If using steel shot, be
careful — the harder steel can chip teeth.

When processing an animal, liberally trim

and discard meat damaged by the bullet because
lead fragments may scatter some distance from
the visible wound. Discard meat that is bruised,
discolored or contains hair, dirt, grass, bone or

lead fragments.
Lead is a soft metal that can be ground
with meat, spreading lead contamination

through an entire batch of ground meat. Lead
has been found more often in ground meat than
whole meat cuts.
To minimize the amount of processed game
meat potentially contaminated with lead, clean
the grinder frequently, preferably between each
animal.
Even if a carcass is processed using these
recommendations, at home or at a commercial
processor, there is still a chance small amounts of
lead may remain in the meat if lead bullets have
been used.

Operation Game Thief (OGT) is a nonprofit organization working with CPW’s law
enforcement. Citizens who report poachers or resource violations are paid rewards.
Callers don’t have to reveal their names, testify in court or sign a deposition. Rewards
are paid if information leads to an arrest of a poacher or an issuance of a citation.
Rewards do not depend on a conviction but must be requested when a violation is
reported. (This phone number cannot be used for information requests or emergencies.)

neeD to Know
» hunting, harvesting or harassing
bears inside their dens is prohibited.
» Black bears accompanied by one
or more cubs cannot be killed.
cubs — bears younger than one
year old — cannot be killed.

hunting restrictions
1. hunters cannot hunt bear with an

“over-the-counter with caps” bear
license in a regular riﬂe deer or elk
season west of i-25 or in unit 140,
unless the hunter also has a deer or
elk license for the same unit, season
and method of take. if the deer or
elk license is restricted to private
land, so is the bear license.
this does not apply to archery or
muzzleloading bear licenses, or hunt
codes B-e-083-p1-r or B-e-084-p5-r.

insPections anD seaLs
Hunters must personally present bears to a
Wildlife Service Center for inspection and sealing
within five working days after the kill. Bear heads
and hides must be unfrozen when presented for
inspection.
At inspection, the CPW is authorized to extract
and keep a premolar tooth. If the head and hide
are frozen, the CPW may keep them long enough
to thaw so that a tooth can be removed. Hunters
can help by making sure the jaw is propped open
with a stick before rigor sets in.
A check report must be done at inspection. No

fee is required. Seals must be attached to the hide
until tanned.
Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until
hide and skull are inspected and sealed. Having a bear hide without a seal after the five-day
period is illegal, and the hide becomes state
property.
Contact the nearest Wildlife Service Center or
oﬃcer for inspection and sealing. To transport a
bear or parts to a foreign country, you must first
obtain CITES documents. Contact the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, (303) 342-7430.

Tips for safe handling of game meat

bear

Most of the time, properly handled and
prepared game meat poses no greater
risk than domestic meat of causing or
carrying disease that could make humans
sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact
their local public health department or
Wildlife Service Center for information
on wildlife diseases where they plan to
hunt. Public health officials recommend
the following precautions when handling
and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obvi-

ously sick or found dead. Report sick
or dead animals you find to a Wildlife
Service Center near you.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressPhoto © CPW

ing game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning

game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water or

use alcohol wipes after dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediate-

ly afterward. Use hot soapy water, then
disinfect with a 10 percent chlorine
bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal tem-

perature of at least 165° F to kill disease
organisms and parasites. Juices from
adequately cooked game meat should
be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild

game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domes-

tic pets.

chronic wasting disease
LEARN MORE ABOUT CWD ONLINE AT:

Testing your harvest for CWD

Photo © CPW

What is it?

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological
disease that affects some big-game animals.
The disease attacks the brains of free-ranging and
captive deer, elk and moose, causing the animals to
become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and uncoordination, and eventually die. Infected animals can
show no signs of illness throughout much of the disease.

Where is it?

CWD has been found in parts of this state and several
other states and provinces. In Colorado, infection rates
appear higher in males and older animals.
As a result of testing, CWD has been detected in units
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 51, 59,
69, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 99, 100, 101, 102,
107, 109, 131, 161, 171, 181, 191, 211, 214, 231, 301, 361,
371, 391, 421, 441, 461, 521, 591, 951. These units are
highlighted on the map on the opposite page.
Surveillance summaries also are posted on the CPW
website.

precautions to follow

gmu | land

CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and federal health experts.
However, the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment and CPW advise hunters
to take simple precautions when handling carcasses of deer, elk and moose from units where the
disease has been detected.

60

» Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that
appear sick.
» Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and processing animals.
» Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic
tissues.
» Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after
field dressing.
» Bone out meat from your animal (following evidence of sex and antler-point regulations).
» Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes.
» Do not eat meat from CWD positive animals.

CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available statewide.
The test costs up to $25 per animal
when submitted through CPW. See the
CPW webpage (address above) in early
August for costs and other details. Test
costs may be waived at Wildlife Service
Center submission sites in seasons or
units where more samples are needed.
See moose inspection requirements on
page 50 for more details.

PREPARING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

Avoid shooting an animal in the head
or neck.
When removing the head, leave 1-2
inches below where the neck joins the
skull (just below the first vertebrae).
Whole brains or other brain pieces are
not accepted for testing.
Alternate tissues may be used for
testing. Check the website for details on
how to obtain and deliver these tissues.

Collecting samples
in the field

Hunters may want to learn to collect
samples themselves. Keep samples or
heads cold but not frozen. Do not submerge in water.
Submit samples or heads as soon as
possible, no more than five days after
harvest. Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However, animals
from units with antler-point restrictions
must comply with regulations.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING

You can take heads or tissue samples to a
Wildlife Service Center submission site
or a participating veterinarian.
You must bring your license so that
CPW can scan the bar code and obtain
your address and phone number. You
will be asked for kill site coordinates
or to show it on a map at the submission site, along with the unit and date of
harvest.
If someone else submits your animal,
they must bring your CID number, but
you should keep your license. Submitters
should bring the same information listed
above.
See the webpage above in early
August for submission sites, hours and
other details.

TEST RESULTS

All samples are sent to Colorado State
University’s Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratory.

Testing is for CWD screening only and
does not assure the absolute safety of
meat for human consumption. Testing
accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending
on sample type and quality.
No test can assure complete accuracy,
and “not detected” results don’t exclude
the possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided on the CPW
website or by calling (303) 297-1192.
Tests are completed as soon as
possible. The goal is to provide results
within 10-15 working days, subject
to volume and laboratory backlog.
Suspected positive results are confirmed
by a second test, which takes 7-10 more
working days.
Because moose samples are tested
differently than deer and elk, their initial
results may not be available for 15-20
working days or more.
In addition, hunters whose animals
test positive are contacted by CPW. If
you don’t get test results more than three
weeks (15 working days) after submission, call a Wildlife Service Center.

LICENSE FEE AND
OTHER REFUNDS

Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test
positive for CWD are eligible for a
license fee refund or an antlerless license.
If the hunting season has ended or
there’s not a reasonable amount of time
left in the current season, CPW may
issue an antlerless license for the next
year’s season in the same unit where the
animal was killed. If antlerless hunting
isn’t offered in that unit, CPW can designate a substitute unit.
If the original license was for a season
that closed before Oct. 31, the replacement license will be valid until Oct. 31.
When paid, costs for processing
CWD- positive animals are refunded.
Requests for reimbursements must be
made on CPW forms and accompanied
by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50
for processing allowed without receipts.
Reimbursements for deer and elk are
limited to $100 per animal for private
processing or $200 per animal for
commercial processing. The maximum
allowed for commercial processing of
moose is $250.

CARCASS TRANSPORT
RESTRICTIONS

Nonresidents are encouraged to check
with non-Colorado wildlife agencies to
see if carcass restrictions apply before
taking deer, elk or moose carcasses from
Colorado through other states.

NEW IN THE

FIELD

Hunters headed
into the field have
new hunting options for all species
of Colorado’s big
game, including the
following:

» DEER: There are new hunting opportunities around
the towns of Buena Vista and Craig. Hunters should get
permission from landowners before hunting, since
these units are near populated areas. (See the deer section beginning on page 13. Hunt codes: D-F-481-L1-R,
D-M-004-P5-A and D-F-004-P5-A).
There are also new whitetail-only hunts and a late
rifle season in UNITS 116 AND 117 to give hunters more
opportunity to hunt deer that are dispersed in an area
with high buck-to-doe ratios. See pages 17 and 21 for
hunt codes.
Private-land-only buck hunts in UNITS 54,55 AND
551 were eliminated. Deer licenses issued through the
draw for these units are valid on public lands or private
land with landowner permission. This change increases
hunting opportunities throughout these predominately
public-land units.
Hunt dates for Season Choice licenses for UNITS 91,
92 AND 96 have been extended through the end of January 2011. See page 13 for details.

NEW MAPS: OVER-THE-COUNTER
ELK AND PRONGHORN
Now it’s easy to find where you want to hunt when you’re
buying an unlimited license. Check out where you can
hunt on the elk archery, second rifle, third rifle and plains
season maps on pages 24-26. There’s also a map of units
open for archery pronghorn hunting on page 39.

ONE $10 HABITAT STAMP PER YEAR
There is a new regulation regarding habitat
stamps. Here’s what you need to know:
• Anyone 18-64 MUST purchase a stamp prior
to buying or applying for a hunting or fishing
license.

» ELK: The antlerless hunts in UNITS 74, 76 AND 79

are now List A licenses, these units are no longer valid
with the over-the-counter archery cow license. In addition, private-land-only hunts in UNIT 14 have been
eliminated, and private-land-only cow hunts in UNIT
54 have been consolidated. See the elk section beginning on page 23.
Hunt dates on Fort Carson, UNIT 591, have been
combined and the season dates extended for both deer
and elk. Hunters accessing the military base should review the “Lands with Special Use Rules” on page 9.

» PRONGHORN: There are new late-season doe
hunts in UNITS: 116, 117, 122, 127, 132, 139 AND 145.
Most season dates for late doe rifle hunts also have
been extended. See the pronghorn section beginning on
page 38.

» MOOSE: Additional moose hunts have been
added along the Front Range and Continental Divide,
in UNITS 14, 20, 29, 38, 39, 46, 49, 500 AND 501. See the
moose section beginning on page 43.

» BEAR: There are new, limited private-land-only
hunts in UNITS 31 AND 32. There also are new private-land-only hunts in UNITS 83, 84, 85, 140 AND 851
that are sold as over-the-counter with caps licenses.
See the bear section beginning on page 45.

• Stamps now cost $10, and only one is required per person per year, valid April 1March 31. A lifetime stamp is $300.25.
• Habitat stamps are not refundable, even if you
don’t draw a license.
• Hunters applying for a limited license must purchase a
stamp to apply in the drawing process.

The Chancellor Ranch State Trust Land lease with the Colorado Division of Wildlife has expired. Big-game hunting
on Chancellor Ranch is no longer regulated by the DOW.

MOOSE PREFERENCE POINTS
A new regulation allows hunters to keep moose preference
points on record for 10 years. As with other big game, if you
get a first-choice moose license, all of your accumulated
preference points will be purged for that species. Your
points also will be purged if you fail to apply for a moose license or preference point in a 10-year period.

LICENSE TYPES

APPLYING ONLINE IS SIMPLE, GO TO:
www.wildlife.state.co.us/ShopDOW/AppsAndLicenses
Hunters may apply for the draw online. Nonresidents MUST use paper
applications if applying for moose hunts. Credit cards are accepted for
Internet purchases.

LICENSE OPTIONS AND AVAILABILITY
Colorado offers many different types of big-game licenses and many different options for
purchasing them. To get a limited license, hunters must apply for the draw, a process that
awards licenses to hunters for specific units and dates. Those who are unsuccessful in the
draw process still have many options open for hunting big game throughout the state, either through the leftover draw, or with a license available over-the-counter.

AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 5
» LIMITED LICENSES These are licenses that are limited in number for specific units and hunt
dates. These are distributed through an application and drawing process.
» PRIVATE-LAND-ONLY LICENSES These are available through the application and drawing process for specific units on private land and State Trust Lands not leased by the
DOW. Ranching for Wildlife licenses are not private-land-only licenses.
» RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW) Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only
to Colorado residents. Hunters may apply for these through the drawing process for specific seasons and ranches.
» LEFTOVER DRAW OPTION — ELK AND DEER APPLICATIONS ONLY Elk and deer applicants
can have the first choice of the limited licenses leftover from the drawing by checking the
“leftover draw” box on the application where it states, “If unsuccessful, send me...” (See the
box at the bottom of this page for more.) Youths 12-17 receive priority in the leftover draw.
You can participate in the leftover draw by mail, so you don’t have to take the day off of
work.

AVAILABLE STARTING JULY 12
» OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSES WITH CAPS A preset number of licenses are available on a
first-come, first-served basis for both resident and nonresident hunters. These are called licenses “with caps.” They are sold online, by phone at 1-800-244-5613 or at DOW offices
and license agents starting at 9 a.m. July 12.
» OVER-THE-COUNTER UNLIMITED LICENSES These are available to both resident and nonresident hunters starting at 9 a.m. July 12. It is not necessary to
go through the draw to purchase these licenses. They are sold online, by
phone at 1-800-244-5613, at license agents and DOW offices around the
state.

1-800-244-5613. They are available online at the DOW website starting Aug. 10.

RATHER HUNT THAN GET A REFUND?
TRY THESE OPTIONS...
1. CHOOSE THE LEFTOVER DRAW ON YOUR APPLICATION By

checking the “Leftover Draw” box on your application
where it states, “If unsuccessful, send me...”, deer and elk
applicants who do not draw their first license choices will
be mailed in June a list of licenses (and an application)
that are still available. Mailing back the leftover application, you get first choice of any of the leftover licenses before they go on sale in August.

2. CHOOSE AN ELK OR PRONGHORN OVER-THE-COUNTER LICENSE If the leftover draw

isn’t for you because you’d like the flexibility of an over-the-counter license, let the
DOW know by choosing the one you want, so it will be mailed to you. There are an
unlimited number of licenses for several elk and pronghorn hunts in a variety of units
throughout the state. With this type of license, you can hunt more than one unit at a
time. Check which units are available by researching the maps in this brochure or
talking to a DOW hunt planner at (303) 297-1192.

�LICENSE TYPES

BIG GAME LICENSES
Youths must be at least 12 and meet hunter education requirements to hunt big game in Colorado. At age 11, youths can buy or

license. Youths cannot hunt with the license until they turn 12.
Fees are reduced for deer, elk and pronghorn licenses for
youths ages 12-17. Hunters younger than 16 must be accompanied by a mentor who is 18 or older and also meets hunter education requirements. Mentors don’t have to hunt. Youths and
mentors must be able to see and hear each other while hunting.

PREFERENCE

RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE (RFW)
Public Ranching for Wildlife licenses are available only to Colorado residents by
drawing. Licenses are valid only for the season and ranch specified.
RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters who draw a public license
for their ranch. By applying for a RFW license, hunters allow the DOW to provide
applicant information to the ranch. Hunting rules differ for each ranch. Read ranch
rules on the DOW website at www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/Ranchingfor
Wildlife before applying.

YOUTH HUNT INFORMATION

2011 Colorado Big Game Hunting

GUIDES AND OUTFITTERS
Guides and outfitters must be registered, bonded and insured in Colorado. They
also need permits to operate on public land and must register with the Office of
Outfitter Registration, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1340, Denver, CO 80202, (303) 8947778; www.dora.state.co.us/outfitters.
If your outfitter is arrested for operating illegally, your hunt can be cancelled and
your game confiscated. Verify an outfitter’s registration by contacting the above office or Colorado Outfitters Association, www.coloradooutfitters.org.

1. Up to 15 percent of limited licenses for doe pronghorn, doe

and either-sex deer and cow elk in regular rifle and privateland-only rifle seasons are available for youths ages 12-17
who meet hunter education requirements. These licenses
are available by drawing. Licenses not drawn by youths are
available to the public. (Late rifle and muzzleloading seasons, the Air Force Academy unit and Ranching for Wildlife
are excluded from this.)
2. Group applications are not accepted. If you enter more than
one hunt code on your application, all hunt codes must be
eligible for youth preferences as in No. 1 above.

LATE YOUTH ELK HUNTS
Youths ages 12-17 may keep hunting if they don’t harvest an elk
before their elk season ends. This option is available only to
youths with unfilled cow or either-sex elk licenses. Licenses
must be valid for the current hunting year. Youths with unfilled
bull elk licenses are not eligible.
1. The elk season for which the original license was issued must
have ended, this includes unfilled youth licenses for Ranching
for Wildlife properties. Youths can go to the elk tables in this
brochure and pick from any cow-only elk season still open after
the fourth regular rifle season ends, including private-landonly seasons. Youths cannot choose a Ranching for Wildlife
property with an ongoing cow season for a late hunt.
2. Youths must follow rules for the hunt code they select, including season dates and geographic restrictions. If the unit table
indicates a hunt is valid on private land only, youths can hunt
only on private land. If the unit tables don’t state “private land
only,” the license is valid on public and private land. Permission is required before hunting on private land.
3. Youths with an unfilled either-sex elk license must go to a
DOW office and get it converted to a cow license before hunting in one of these late seasons. Cow licenses do not need to be
converted, the original license is valid for a late hunt.
4. A mentor must accompany youths under 16.
5. Mentors can hunt with a youth only if the mentor’s license is
valid for the same late season and unit during which the
youth will be hunting.
6. Youths who obtained their original license at age 17 and
later turn 18 can participate in these late seasons. Youth
hunting rules apply.

LATE YOUTH PRONGHORN
Youths ages 12-17 can participate in any December pronghorn
doe season in units 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118,
119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 132, 133,
134, 135, 139, 140, 141, 142, 145, 147, if they have an unfilled
pronghorn doe or either-sex license for a season that has ended.
Youths with an unfilled either-sex pronghorn license must
bring that license to a DOW office and get it converted to a doe license before hunting in a December season. Doe licenses do not
need to be converted, the original license is valid for a late hunt.
Youths must comply with all regulations that apply to the
December season they hunt. Unfilled pronghorn buck licenses
may not be used to participate in this program.

YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES
Youth Outreach licenses are offered for deer, elk and pronghorn
to qualified organizations sponsoring youth hunting activities.
Application procedures are on the DOW website, wildlife.state.
co.us/Hunting/HunterOutreach/YouthLicensingPrograms.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES
Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to hunters ages
12-21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening disease or injury.
Licenses are issued only for the dates and unit with an open season for a specific
species. Licenses are not offered in units with at least one hunt code that requires 10
or more resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching For Wildlife).
Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission from the
landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations must request licenses
in writing and document the life-threatening or terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to DOW,
Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, 80216.

LANDOWNER PREFERENCE &amp; VOUCHERS
1. Up to 15 percent of deer, elk and pronghorn licenses in units with totally limited

licenses in all rifle seasons are allocated for deeded landowners who own at least
160 contiguous acres of agricultural land.
2. Landowner preference quotas are allocated by species, sex, season and method of
take. The 15 percent is for regular and priority landowner applications. Priority
registered applicants have priority over other landowner applicants.
3. Deadline to register properties for the Priority Landowner System is the second
Friday in January. To register for the 2012 season, contact a DOW office or visit
our website for registration forms. Based upon total deeded acres, up to 6 priority applications per species are available to landowners. Landowner applications
are drawn before the DOW’s regular limited license drawing.
4. Successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.

LANDOWNER VOUCHER INFORMATION
The following guidelines are for landowner vouchers. Visit the DOW website for
more details, www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/PriorityLandowner.
1. The landowner must transfer the voucher directly to the hunter.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the hunter’s name is written on the
voucher, or the landowner hands (or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one time only.
4. If a hunter cannot use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The voucher
CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even if the voucher has
not been redeemed for a license.
5. The transfer of a voucher gives the hunter permission to hunt on the land for
which the voucher was awarded and for the duration of the season printed on
the voucher during legal hunting hours. The landowner may restrict manner of
access (i.e. foot, horseback, vehicle, etc).
6. The voucher must be taken to a license agent or DOW office to be redeemed for a
proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting. The appropriate license fees are paid at
that time.
7. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you can legally have the license before acquiring a landowner voucher.
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from the Division of Wildlife.

LANDOWNER PILOT PUBLIC LICENSES
The landowner pilot program offers elk hunting in units 1 and 10. The hunts are
designated in the unit tables by Y2, Y3, Y4 and Y5 hunt codes. Licenses are valid in
the entire unit, as well as private properties successful in the pilot program. If you
draw one of these licenses, you will receive a list of participating landowners and
other details in the mail in September.
The DOW also has a pilot program for elk in GMUs 1 and 10 and for pronghorn
east of I-25. Please call (303) 291-7380 for registration forms and more information.

HYBRID DRAWING

HYBRID DRAW HUNT CODES

In an effort to expand quality opportunities to big-game hunters, the
Colorado Wildlife Commission has
established a “Hybrid” drawing for
select elk, deer, pronghorn and bear
licenses for the 2011 hunting seasons.
The purpose of the drawing is to
give hunters additional opportunity
to draw a license for some of the
state’s premier deer, elk, pronghorn
and bear hunting areas. Hunters who
normally would not have enough
preference points to draw these licenses now have a slight chance to
draw a small number of the most
coveted licenses through this
process. Nonresident caps apply.
(Units with low numbers of available
licenses may not have any remaining
for the Hybrid Drawing.)

Qualified hunters wishing to participate in the Hybrid Draw must
chose from the hunt codes listed
below as their first choice on their
application:

HUNTER QUALIFICATIONS
1. Hunters must have a minimum of

five preference points for the
species they wish to hunt to participate in the Hybrid drawing.
2. Hunters must apply individually
(group applications are not accepted).

HOW IT WORKS
In hunt codes that require 10 or more
resident preference points to draw
(based on a three-year average ending with the 2009 drawing), 20 percent of the available licenses will be
issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable
hunt codes (listed at right) and have
at least five preference points for that
species will automatically enter the
Hybrid Drawing.
» These hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on
your application.
» Winning applicants in the
Hybrid Drawing will be selected randomly.
» Hunters who successfully
draw a license in the Hybrid
Drawing will lose all of their
preference points. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded
one preference point.

LICENSE ALLOCATIONS
Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw a specific license during a
3-year period that ended with the 2009 drawing. (Units with low numbers
of available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after
resident licenses are drawn.)
1. For hunt codes that required six or more points for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, up to 20 percent may go to nonresidents. These hunts are shown in unit tables by a “+ ” under the “SEX”
column of the hunt tables.
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than six points for a Colorado resident
to draw an elk or deer license, up to 35 percent may go to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain after drawing
all first-choice hunt codes for Colorado residents.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and Ranching For
Wildlife licenses.
5. In a group of applications made up of both residents and nonresidents,
all nonresidents in the group will count against the nonresident allocation.

The DOW conducts biggame harvest surveys each
year to estimate harvest,
hunter numbers and
recreation days, as well as
to assess satisfaction.
Deer, elk and pronghorn
hunters may receive a phone
call or e-mail, asking you to
take part in a harvest survey.
This includes questions such
as: where you hunted, if you
harvested an animal, were
you satisfied with your
hunting experience and if
you saw overcrowding from
other hunters.
Only randomly selected
hunters can participate. If
contacted, your participation is not required, but responding — even if you
did not hunt or harvest an
animal — is an important
part of setting seasons and license numbers for next year.
If contacted, you can do
the survey online, www.
ColoradoHuntReports.com

or call 1-877-237-1666 to
speak to a person. The survey runs 24 hours daily,
October through mid-February. See the DOW website for more information.

2. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an off-highway vehicle (OHV) during deer, elk, pronghorn and bear seasons
unless they are unloaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case.
Scabbards or cases with open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not apply to
landowners or their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to take depredating
wildlife on property they own or lease.
3. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow in a manner that disregards human life or property.
4. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it’s completely unloaded and
cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound bows must be cased,
but don’t have to be unstrung.
5. Shoot from or use a motor vehicle, motorcycle, OHV, snowmobile or aircraft to

9. Use poison, drugs or explosives to hunt or harass wildlife.
10. Fail to extinguish a campfire.
11. Fail to make a reasonable attempt to track and kill animals you wound or may have
wounded. It is against the law to pursue wounded wildlife that goes on private property without first obtaining permission from landowner or person in charge.
12. Fail to prepare edible wildlife meat for human consumption. At a minimum, the
four quarters, tenderloins and backstraps are edible meat. Internal organs are not.
13. Shoot from, across or on a public road with a firearm, bow or crossbow. People firing a bow, rifle, handgun or shotgun with a single slug must be at least 50 feet from
centerline of the road.
14. Party hunt (kill someone else’s game or let someone kill yours).
15. Interfere with hunters. This includes distracting or frightening prey; causing prey to
flee by using light or noise; chasing prey on foot or by vehicle; throwing objects; making movements; harassing hunters by using threats or actions; erecting barriers to
deny access to hunting areas and intentionally injecting yourself into the line of fire.
Violators face prosecution and may have to pay victim’s damages and court costs.
16. FELONY: Kill and abandon big game. It is illegal to remove only the hide, antlers or
other trophy parts and leave the carcass in the field.
17. FELONY: Sell, buy or offer to sell or buy big game.
18. FELONY: Solicit someone to illegally kill big game for commercial gain or provide
outfitting services without required registration.
19. If convicted of these felony violations, you can face a lifetime license suspension.
20. Use Internet or other computer-assisted remote technology while hunting or fishing. Hunters must be physically present in the immediate vicinity while hunting.
21. Use dogs or bait to hunt bears, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose. Bait means to put,
expose, distribute or scatter salt, minerals, grain, animal parts or other food as an
attraction for big game. Scent sticks that smell like food are illegal for bears.
22. Kill cubs or bears accompanied by one or more cubs. A cub is a bear less than a
year old.
23. Have a carcass, hide, skull, claws or parts of bears or mountain lions without a
valid hunting license or unless authorized by DOW.

BAG LIMITS &amp;
SEASON PARTICIPATION RESTRICTIONS

REFERENCE

It is a legal requirement for hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange material in an outer garment above the waist
while hunting deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose with any firearm license. Part of the fluorescent orange must be a hat or head covering visible from all
directions. This includes archery hunters who hunt during rifle season. If using a ground blind or pop-up blind, hunters should display orange that is
visible from all directions on the outside of the blind.
CAMOUFLAGE ORANGE DOES NOT QUALIFY. Mesh garments are legal but not recommended. The DOW strongly recommends wearing daylight fluorescent orange clothes in the field, even if you’re not hunting. Wearing orange is for hunter safety, big-game animals don’t see orange. Movement, sound
and smell are what give hunters away.
Archers hunting during a limited bear season or those hunting with an archery bear, deer, elk, pronghorn or moose license do not have to wear
fluorescent orange.

1. LIMITED LICENSES: You can submit only one application in

the drawing per species, per year. No exceptions.
2. BAG LIMITS, LICENSE PURCHASES: The bag and possession

limit is the total number of animals you can legally kill of
each species. Big game killed in January and February seasons set as part of the previous calendar year’s seasons fall
under that year’s bag and possession limit. When a license
allows hunting in more than one unit, the unit in the hunt
code determines the maximum number of licenses a hunter
can obtain per year for that species.
3. MOOSE: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is one, except
for auction, raffle or special management licenses.
4. COYOTES: You can hunt coyotes without a small-game license during big-game seasons if you have an unfilled big
game license. But, you can hunt coyotes only in the same
unit, season and manner of take as on the big-game license.
Once you fill your big-game license, you must buy a smallgame or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does not void your big-game license.

CARCASS TAGS
You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per instructions on tag. Tags must stay on until meat is processed and remain with meat until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the
tag before a kill.
If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag, you must
get a duplicate from the DOW before hunting and prove the
loss, detachment or destruction was accidental. Do not remove
other parts of a license except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing
so voids the license, and you must buy a duplicate.

EVIDENCE OF SEX, ANTLER POINTS
1. It is illegal to have or transport a big-game carcass without

evidence of sex naturally attached. It is illegal only to have
evidence of sex accompany the carcass. If you submit a deer
or elk head for CWD testing, leave evidence of sex on the
carcass.
2. Evidence of sex is:
a. Buck/Bull: Head, with antlers or horns, attached to carcass, or testicle, scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
b. Doe/Cow: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to
carcass.
c. Black Bear: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of
sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex only
needs to be attached to a quarter or another major part
of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
WATCH
5. Evidence of sex not required if a donation certificate accompanies less than 20 pounds of meat or after the carcass MORE
ONLINE
is cut into processed meat (commercially or otherwise),
wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
6. Elk antler-point compliance:
a. If you leave the head with its antlers at a taxidermist,
you must get a receipt from taxidermist, with date delivered and description of antlers before you take the carcass
home or to a commercial processor.
b. Head or skull plate, with both antlers naturally attached,
must accompany the carcass of bulls in camp or in transit,
even when the scrotum or testicles are used as evidence of
sex. (Except in “a.” above.)

RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS
These are the requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to buy a hunting license:
1. You must have lived continuously in Colorado at least six months immediately before applying for or buying a license, and must intend to make Colorado home (except No. 2 and No. 3 below). The residence address you
give to buy or apply for a license must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on active duty
in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents. This includes people who were Colorado residents when they entered the military and keep Colorado as their home of record, and their dependents
(with Colorado as their home of record). Also included are personnel of
the U.S. Diplomatic Service or diplomatic services of nations recognized
by the U.S. assigned here on permanent active duty orders and their dependents. Active duty does not include reserve status or National Guard.
3. Full-time students enrolled and attending an accredited Colorado college,
university or trade school at least six months immediately before applying
for or buying a license. This includes students who are temporarily absent
from Colorado but still enrolled. Colorado residents who attend school
full time, out of state and pay nonresident tuition still qualify for a resident
license.
4. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal
guardian or person with whom they live most of the time per court order.
5. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call (303) 297-1192 to
make sure you comply with Colorado residency requirements before obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
6. Except as in No. 2 and No. 3 above, you lose your Colorado residency if
you apply for, buy or accept a hunting or fishing license as a resident of
another state or country; register to vote outside Colorado or get a
driver’s license using an address in another state.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES
Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilities.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Hunters must apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at DOW offices, on our website or call (303) 297-1192.

TRANSPORTING GAME
1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if some-

one else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed
meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates must accompany processed
game meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers, or must
accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments
must follow federal regulations. Contact the National Park Service for
information.

DONATING GAME MEAT
1. Donation certificates are required for game meat donations. Certificates

must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s license number; species and amounts donated; date of
kill; donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special
form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
2. A “like license” is a license for the same species, sex, season and
method of take as a donor’s license.
3. Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
4. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat can be donated to
anyone, anywhere.
5. You can donate to someone without a “like license”:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
6. You can donate to someone with a “like license”:
a. up to 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 pounds of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
(3) If the entire carcass is donated, donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s
“like license” must be attached to carcass.

HUNTERS WITH MOBILITY-IMPAIRMENTS
1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to hunters with

mobility-impairments. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting
from permanent medical conditions, making it physically impossible to hunt
without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but not limited to, prescribed
equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at DOW offices and must be mailed with license fees to DOW, Limited Licenses, 6060 Broadway, Denver, 80216.
Applications accepted from the Monday after the Wildlife Commission
meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first-come,
first-served until unit and program caps are reached.

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY
State law requires a Social Security Number to buy a license. It is not displayed on licenses but is provided, if requested, to Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
delinquent in child support.

WEAPONS RESTRICTIONS
Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes, such as
domestic violence, from possessing weapons, even for hunting. Check with
the appropriate law enforcement authority on how the laws apply to you.

TIPs PROGRAM
TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point for species of choice or unlimited license for the species reported. Some limited licenses may be available. TIPs
licenses do not count toward annual bag and possession limits.

CERTIFIED HAY
Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and DOW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
DOW property are exempt.
For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado Dept. of Agriculture,

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to the DOW before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting the DOW, field dress
the animal to avoid spoiling meat. The DOW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present, firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag
limits.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS
If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number, color, harvest
location and date to the DOW and return the radio collars.

OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)
All OHVs operated in Colorado must have a valid Colorado registration or a
Colorado nonresident permit (except on private property).
Registration/permits cost $25.25 and are available from Colorado State
Parks. Annual registration and permits are valid April 1 through March 31. To
buy a nonresident permit, call (303) 791-1920 or go to www.parks.state.co.us/
parksstore. For program information, go to www.parks.state. co.us/OHVsand
Snowmobiles/OHVProgram.
Contact each public land management agency for their current motorvehicle-use rules, regulations, game retrieval specifications and hours, and
agency maps. The Stay The Trail foundation website, www.staythetrail.org,
also offers maps and riding tips. If you witness or observe a violation of
OHV misuse on public lands, please report it to any law enforcement officer
in that area.

HUNTERS BRINGING/USING HORSES
You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection
within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses need a Coggins blood
test for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may require brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303)
294-0895.

PREFERENCE-POINT HUNT CODE
A preference-point hunt code is in the hunt code sections for each
species in this brochure. Entering this hunt code as a first choice on
your application automatically awards you a point. You also can apply
for a license as your second, third or fourth choice.
You must pay the full cost of a license and meet all requirements
even if you are only applying for a point. If you only apply for a point,
your money, minus the $3 application and $10 Habitat Stamp fee, is refunded. Another $25 may be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria
under No. 13 in “Gaining and Using Preference Points” on this page.

ONLINE

1. One preference point is
awarded to hunters who
apply properly and are unsuccessful in drawing a license for a first-choice hunt
code for all big-game species. You
may also apply for a preference point as
your first-choice hunt code. Hunters who
make an application error, including on
first-choice hunt codes, do not get a point.
2. Youths can apply for a point if they turn
12 by Dec. 31 of the application year.
3. If you are issued a first-choice license, all
accumulated preference points for that
species become void.
4. Points accumulate until you draw a firstchoice license. If you fail to apply for and
have not purchased a license during a
10-year period, all accumulated points
are purged from your record and become void.
5. Priority goes to those with the most
points, except when the license quota or
nonresident cap would be exceeded.
6. Group application priority is based on
the member with the fewest points. See
box at left for more group hunt details.
7. Second-, third- and fourth-choice hunts
don’t use or generate points.
8. The maximum points you can accumulate
for moose is three. If you have three
points for moose and you fail to draw a
first-choice license, you will receive
weighted preference for that species. This
increases your probability of drawing.
9. WEIGHTED PREFERENCE increases your
probability of drawing. It is calculated by
converting your application number into
a different, random application number,
then dividing that new application number by the amount of weighted points
you have, plus one. This generates another new application number. Applications are sorted by this new number
from lowest to highest and low numbers
for each hunt code are awarded licenses.
10. Preference points are not transferable.
Points are awarded for specific species,
not by hunt codes or method of take.
11. If unsuccessful for a first choice, your accumulated points will be listed on your
refund, leftover drawing application or
other-choice license.
12. Active duty U.S. military stationed in
Colorado but deployed outside Colorado
are eligible, when they return home, to
apply for a preference point for a limited
license offered in this year’s drawing.
13. Hunters will be automatically assessed
$25 for a preference point unless they
opt out by selecting the appropriate
check box on the big-game drawing application. If this option is checked, the applicant will not receive a preference point
unless they have purchased one of the
following: an annual fishing, small-game,
resident combination small-game and
fishing, furbearer license in the previous
year or a big-game license in the previous year or current limited license for the
same species for which they may be
seeking a point. The $25 point fee is also
waved for youths, lifetime license holders,
free senior annual fishing license holders
and Colorado residents who are in the
military on active duty outside Colorado.

APPLICATION

1. GROUP HUNTS: Group applications are accepted for all big-game hunts except moose. Any
number of people can apply as a group for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear licenses. Group applications
entering the draw have priority based on the group member with the fewest preference points.
2. CHOOSE A LEADER: Group members must apply for the same species, hunt code unit, season
and method of take for each choice, but may apply for a different gender. One person must be
chosen as the group leader. If there are discrepancies, the leader’s hunt code is used. If anyone in
the group makes an application error or doesn’t pay the correct amount, everyone is disqualified and won’t get a preference point.
3. ENTER SAME CID NUMBER ON ALL APPLICATIONS: All group members — including the group leader — must enter
the same CID number in the group application box to be entered as a group. If the leader has no CID, leader must call the
DOW to get one. All group members must fill out their applications the same, using the same person as leader. Each
hunter’s application must be mailed separately.
4. HOW GROUPS ARE AWARDED LICENSES: Groups are assigned a number, and if their number is selected in the
drawing, everyone in the group gets a license. However, if the group is selected and there aren’t enough licenses for
everyone in the group, the group will not get licenses; OR if the group has resident and nonresident applicants and
the nonresident cap has been met, the group will not get licenses.
5. PREFERENCE POINTS, REFUNDS, NOTICES: If everyone in the group is successful for their first choice, they all get
a license and their preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each person.

The header describes the big-game species and method of take for the hunt
codes within that table. Start here to find the method of take you wish to hunt.

The UNIT column is where you will look next to locate the game management unit
you wish to hunt. Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units. Here’s how to tell where you can hunt:
» If the hunt code for a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the VALID
UNITS column will list all the other units that you can hunt with that same license.
» If one of the valid units for a certain hunt has the same hunt details as the
main hunt, the chart will read, “SEE UNIT”. For example, see units 80 and 81
in the sample chart at left.

2.

The VALID UNIT column will also display information for each hunt, such as what
season the hunt is and whether it is PRIVATE LAND ONLY. If a hunt is labeled
private land, you must get permission from a landowner in that unit before you hunt.

3.
4.

The DATES column lists the applicable season dates when the license is valid.
Please look at the rows carefully, as each unit may have multiple hunt dates.

The SEX column indicates which sex of animal can be hunted for that specific
hunt code. Please read the information carefully because the permitted sex for a
hunt code may have changed since the previous year.

5.
OTHER HUNT TABLE SYMBOLS
1. A DOT ( • ) In the UNIT column indicates there is a

special note about that property. Notes can be
found at the bottom of the hunt table.

The HUNT CODE column displays the code you will use to apply for the license
you desire. Read the information carefully, as there are many possible hunt codes
associated with each unit, and they may have changed since the last time you hunted.

6.

2. AN ASTERISK ( * ) In the SEX column indicates units

that had licenses left over after last year’s drawing.
3. A PLUS ( + ) In the SEX column indicates hunt codes

for which an average of a least six preference points
are needed for a resident to draw a specific license in
a 3-year period ending with the 2009 drawing.

The LIST column displays what type of license you are buying. There are opportunities to purchase more than one license during the year, as long as the licenses meet the requirements of being List A, B or C. For details, see “HOW TO GET
MORE THAN ONE LICENSE” sections under the big-game species you’d like to
hunt in the following hunt table pages.

Most of the time, properly handled and
prepared game meat poses no greater
risk than domestic meat of causing or
carrying diseases that could potentially
make humans sick. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health
department or DOW office for information on wildlife diseases where they
hunt. Public health officials recommend
the following precautions when handling and preparing game meat:
1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found dead. Report
your find to a DOW office.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while
dressing game.

4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning
game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water
or use alcohol wipes after dressing
game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately afterward. Use hot soapy water,
then disinfect with a 10-percent chlorine bleach solution, then rinse well.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least 165° F to kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices
from adequately cooked game meat
should be clear.
8. Do not eat raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

LEAD BULLETS IN GAME MEAT
Recently, concerns have been raised about the potential
risk of exposure to lead from eating wild game harvested with lead bullets. Ingesting lead from a variety of
sources can cause significant health problems, especially
in young children and pregnant women. Not enough
research has been done to fully evaluate potential health
risks that may be associated with lead in game meat, but
data from a recent study suggest these risks are low for
most people. The Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment and DOW offer recommendations to
minimize exposure to lead in wild game:
LEAD FRAGMENTS CANNOT BE ELIMINATED WITH
COMPLETE CERTAINTY, so pregnant women and chil-

dren younger than 6 should avoid eating meat from
game animals harvested with lead bullets. These people are more sensitive to the health effects of lead, and
ingesting even small amounts may be harmful. Lead
can affect the development of infants and young children.

ored or contains hair, dirt, grass, bone or lead fragments.

HUNTERS CAN USE LEAD-FREE SHOT OR BULLETS
to eliminate lead in game meat.

LEAD IS A SOFT METAL that can be ground with
meat, spreading lead contamination through an entire
batch of ground meat. Lead has been found more
often in ground meat than whole meat cuts. To minimize the amount of processed game meat potentially
contaminated with lead, clean the grinder frequently,
preferably between each animal.

WHEN PROCESSING AN ANIMAL, LIBERALLY TRIM
AND DISCARD MEAT DAMAGED BY THE BULLET because lead fragments may scatter some distance from
the visible wound. Discard meat that is bruised, discol-

EVEN IF A CARCASS IS PROCESSED USING THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS, at home or at a commercial
processor, there is still a chance small amounts of lead
may remain in the meat if lead bullets have been used.

Archery, muzzleloading and
some rifle bear licenses are sold
over-the-counter with a cap.
These are either-sex licenses.
“With a cap” means there are a
preset number of these licenses
available on a first-come, firstserved basis at DOW offices, license agents, via telephone at
1-800-244-5613 or online at
www.wildlife.state.co.us. These are
not drawing licenses. Do not use
OTC codes on a draw application.
The Wildlife Commission sets
the number of licenses in May.

hide without a seal after the five-day period is illegal,
and the hide becomes state property.
Contact the nearest DOW office or officer for inspection and sealing. To transport a bear or parts to a

CWD

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE
LEARN MORE ABOUT CWD ONLINE AT:
www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/CWD

TESTING YOUR HARVEST FOR CWD
CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary
and available statewide.
The test costs up to $25 per animal when
submitted through the DOW. See the DOW
webpage (address above) in early August for
costs and other details. Test costs may be
waived at DOW submission sites in seasons
or units where more samples are needed.
See “Mandatory Moose Inspection” for
more details.

WHAT IS IT?
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease that affects some big-game animals.
The disease attacks the brains of free-ranging and
captive deer, elk and moose, causing the animals to
become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and
uncoordination, and eventually die. Infected animals can show no signs of illness throughout much
of the disease.

WHERE IS IT?
CWD has been found in parts of this state and several other states and provinces. In Colorado, infection
rates appear higher in males and older animals.
As a result of testing, CWD has been detected in
units 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 51,
59, 69, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 99, 101, 102,
107, 109, 131, 161, 171, 181, 191, 211, 214, 231, 301, 361,
371, 391, 421, 441, 461, 521, 591, 951. These units are
highlighted on the map on the opposite page.
Surveillance summaries also are posted on the
DOW website.

PRECAUTIONS TO FOLLOW

GMUs/LAND

CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and federal health experts.
However, the Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment and the DOW advise
hunters to take simple precautions when handling carcasses of deer, elk and moose from units
where the disease has been detected.

52

» Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that
appear sick.
» Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and
processing animals.
» Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic
tissues.
» Wash hands and instruments thoroughly after
field dressing.
» Bone out meat from your animal (following evidence of sex and antler-point regulations).
» Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen,
pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes.
» Do not eat meat from CWD positive animals.

PREPARING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING
Avoid shooting an animal in the head or
neck.
When removing the head, leave 1-2
inches below where the neck joins the skull
(just below the first vertebrae). Whole brains
or other brain pieces are not accepted for
testing.
Alternate tissues may be used for testing.
Check the website for details on how to obtain and deliver these tissues.

COLLECTING SAMPLES
IN THE FIELD
Hunters may want to learn to collect samples themselves. Keep samples or heads cold
but not frozen. Do not submerge in water.
Submit samples or heads as soon as possible, no more than five days after harvest.
Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However, animals from units with
antler-point restrictions must comply with
regulations.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS
FOR TESTING
You can take heads or tissue samples to a
DOW submission site or a participating veterinarian.
You must bring your license so that the
DOW can scan the bar code and obtain your
address and phone number. You will be
asked for kill site coordinates or to show it on
a map at the submission site, along with the
unit and date of harvest.
If someone else submits your animal,
they must bring your CID number, but you
should keep your license. Submitters
should bring the same information listed
above.
See the webpage above in early August for
submission sites, hours and other details.

TEST RESULTS
All samples are sent to Colorado State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
Testing is for CWD screening only and

does not assure the absolute safety of meat
for human consumption. Testing accuracy
and sensitivity vary, depending on sample
type and quality.
No test can assure complete accuracy,
and “not detected” results don’t exclude the
possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided on the DOW
website or by calling (303) 297-1192.
Tests are completed as soon as possible.
The goal is to provide results within 10-15
working days, subject to volume and laboratory backlog. Suspected positive results are
confirmed by a second test, which takes 710 more working days.
Because moose samples are tested differently than deer and elk, their initial results
may not be available for 15-20 working days
or more.
In addition, hunters whose animals test
positive are contacted by the DOW. If you
don’t get test results more than three weeks
(15 working days) after submission, call a
DOW office.

LICENSE FEE AND
OTHER REFUNDS
Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test positive for CWD are eligible for a license fee refund or an antlerless license.
If the hunting season has ended or there’s
not a reasonable amount of time left in the
current season, the DOW may issue an
antlerless license for the next year’s season
in the same unit where the animal was
killed. If antlerless hunting isn’t offered in
that unit, the DOW can designate a substitute unit.
If the original license was for a season that
closed before Oct. 31, the replacement license will be valid until Oct. 31.
When paid, costs for processing CWDpositive animals are refunded. Requests for
reimbursements must be made on DOW
forms and accompanied by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50 for processing allowed
without receipts. Reimbursements for deer
and elk are limited to $100 per animal for
private processing or $200 per animal for
commercial processing. The maximum allowed for commercial processing of moose
is $250.

CARCASS TRANSPORT
RESTRICTIONS
Nonresidents are encouraged to check with
non-Colorado wildlife agencies to see if carcass restrictions apply before taking deer, elk
or moose carcasses from Colorado through
other states.

�2010 BIG GAME HUNTING

LANDOWNER PREFERENCE &amp; VOUCHER INFORMATION

MOBILITY-IMPAIRED LICENSES

1. Up to 15 percent of deer, elk, and pronghorn licenses in units with totally
limited licenses in all rifle seasons are allocated for deeded landowners
who own at least 160 contiguous acres of agricultural land.
2. Landowner preference quotas are allocated by species, sex, season, and
method of take. The 15 percent is for regular and priority landowner applications. Priority registered applicants have priority over other
landowner applicants.
3. Deadline to register properties for the Priority Landowner System is the
2nd Friday in January. To register for the 2011 season, contact a DOW
office or visit our website for registration forms. Based upon total deeded
acres, up to 6 priority applications per species are available to landowners.
Landowner applications are drawn before the DOW’s regular limited license drawing.
4. Successful landowners receive a voucher for each winning hunt code.
The DOW has a pilot program for elk in GMUs 1 and 10 and for pronghorn
east of I-25. Please call (303) 291-7380 for registration forms and further information.
A committee is currently evaluating the landowner preference/voucher system and considering changes to the program. For more information and to
make comments visit:

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered to mobility-impaired hunters. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting
from permanent medical conditions, making it physically impossible to
hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence includes, but not limited to,
prescribed equipment such as a wheelchair, shoulder or arm crutches,
walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at DOW offices and must be mailed with license fees to DOW, Limited Licenses, 6060 Broadway, Denver, 80216. Applications accepted from the Monday after the Wildlife Commission
meeting in May through the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first come,
first served until unit and program caps are reached.

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. One preference point is awarded if you apply properly for deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose as your first choice and are unsuccessful in drawing
a license. You also can apply for a preference-point hunt code as your first
choice. See “Preference Point Hunt Code.” If you make any application
error, you will not get a point.
2. Hunters will be automatically assessed $25 for a preference point unless
they opt out by selecting the appropriate check box on the big game drawing application. If this option is checked, the applicant will not receive a
preference point unless they have purchased one of the following: an annual fishing, small game, resident combination small game and fishing,
furbearer license in the previous year or a big game license in the previous
year or current limited license for the same species for which they may be
seeking a point. The $25 preference point fee is also waved for youths,
lifetime license holders, free senior annual fishing license holders and
Colorado residents who are in the military on active duty outside Colorado.
3. Points are awarded for specific species, not by hunt codes or method of
take. No one else can use your points.
4. Priority goes to those with the most points, except when the license quota
or nonresident cap would be exceeded.
5. Group applications enter the draw receiving priority according to the
member with the fewest points. When there are not enough licenses for
everyone in the group, the group will not draw.
6. Second, third and fourth choices do not generate or use points.
7. If you are unsuccessful on your first choice, your accumulated points will
be shown on your refund, leftover drawing application or your otherchoice license.
8. Preference points accumulate until you draw a first-choice license. If you
don’t apply at least once within 10 consecutive years for a deer, elk, pronghorn or bear license, you lose your points for that species. Applying for
preference points keeps your file active.
9. You can accumulate a max. of 3 points for moose. If you have 3 points for
moose and fail to draw a first-choice license, you get weighted preference
in future drawings. Weighted preference increases the probability of
drawing a license. If you draw a license or don’t apply at least once during
5 years, all points (weighted or otherwise) become void.
10. Youths can apply for a point if they turn 12 by Dec. 31 of the application
year.
11. Active duty U.S. military stationed in Colorado but deployed elsewhere
are eligible, when they return here, to apply for a preference point for any
limited license offered this year.

www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/LandownerVoucherReviewCommittee/

LANDOWNER VOUCHER INFORMATION
1. The landowner must transfer the voucher directly to the hunter.
2. The transfer of the voucher occurs when the hunter’s name is written on
the voucher, or the landowner hands (or mails) the voucher to the hunter.
3. Landowner vouchers may be transferred one time only.
4. If a hunter can not use a voucher, the voucher becomes VOID. The
voucher CANNOT be reprinted or transferred to another hunter, even if
the voucher has not been redeemed for a license.
5. The transfer of a voucher gives the hunter permission to hunt on the land
for which the voucher was awarded and for the duration of the season
printed on the voucher during legal hunting hours. The landowner may
restrict manner of access (i.e. foot, horseback, vehicle, etc).
6. The voucher must be taken to a license agent, or DOW office to be redeemed for a proper and valid license PRIOR to hunting. The appropriate license fees are paid at that time.
7. Annual bag limits still apply. Be sure you can legally have the license before acquiring a landowner voucher. (See pages 9 and 10)
8. A list of landowners is NOT available from the Division of Wildlife.
Visit our website (under Hunting, Big Game, Priority Landowner Preference) for further details.

LANDOWNER ELK PILOT PUBLIC LICENSES
The landowner pilot program offers elk hunting in units 1 and 10. The
hunts are designated in the unit tables by Y2, Y3, &amp; Y4 hunt codes. Licenses
are valid in the entire unit, as well as private properties successful in the pilot
program. If you draw one of these licenses, you will receive a list of participating landowners and other details in the mail in September.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES
Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to
hunters 12-21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening disease or injury. Licenses issued only for the dates and unit with an open season for specific
species. Licenses are not offered in units with at least 1 hunt code that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching
For Wildlife). Before a license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission from the landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations
must request licenses in writing and document the life-threatening or terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location
and dates. Submit requests to DOW, Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060
Broadway, Denver, 80216.

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE
You can apply for a preference point without losing points you already have.
A special hunt code is in the hunt code sections for each species. Entering
the preference point hunt code as a first choice on your application automatically awards you a point. You also can apply for a license as your second,
third or fourth choice. You must pay the full cost of a license and meet all license requirements even if you are applying only for a point. If you only
apply for a point, your money, minus the $3 application fee, is refunded. Another $25 may be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria under “Preference
Points #2.”

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES
Accommodation permits are available to hunters with disabilites.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly
impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting from public
roads is not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Hunters must apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting. Applications are available at DOW offices, on our website, or call (303) 297-1192.

not recommended. We strongly recommend wearing daylight fluorescent
orange clothes in the field even if you’re not hunting.
26. Hunt on private land without first obtaining permission from landowner
or person in charge.
27. Post, sign or indicate that public lands, not under an exclusive-control
lease, are private.
28. Hunt or fish on State Land Board properties not leased and signed by
DOW without permission of lessee.
29. For 2 or more people to use electronic equipment on the ground, in a vehicle or vessel while violating any wildlife law or regulation.

IT’S AGAINST THE LAW TO:
1. Have a loaded (in the chamber) rifle or shotgun in or on any motor
vehicle. Muzzleloading rifles are considered unloaded if percussion cap or
shotshell primer is removed, or if powder is removed from flashpan. It is
illegal for anyone to have a loaded electronic-ignition muzzleloader in or
on a motor vehicle unless the chamber is unloaded or the battery is disconnected and removed from its compartment.
2. Carry firearms (except handguns) on an off highway vehicle (OHV) during deer, elk, pronghorn antelope and bear seasons unless they are unloaded in the chamber and magazine. Firearms (except handguns) and
bows carried on an OHV must be fully enclosed in a hard or soft case.
Scabbards or cases with open ends or sides are prohibited. This does not
apply to landowners or their agents who carry a firearm on an OHV to
take depredating wildlife on property they own or lease.
3. Hunt carelessly or discharge a firearm or release an arrow disregarding
human life or property.
4. Operate or ride a snowmobile with a firearm unless it's completely unloaded and cased, or with a bow unless it’s unstrung or cased. Compound

CHILD SUPPORT DELINQUENCY
State law requires a Social Security Number to buy a license. It is not displayed on licenses but is provided, if requested, to Child Support Enforcement authorities. Hunting and fishing licenses are not issued to those
delinquent in child support.

WEAPONS RESTRICTIONS
Colorado and federal laws prohibit people convicted of certain crimes, such
as domestic violence, from possessing weapons, even for hunting. Check
with the appropriate law enforcement authority on how the laws apply to
you.

TIPs PROGRAM
TIPs rewards people who provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point for species of choice or unlimited license for the species reported. Some limited licenses may be available. TIPs

LEAD BULLETS IN GAME MEAT

Recently, concerns have been raised about the potential risk of exposure to lead from eating wild game harvested with lead bullets. Ingesting lead from a variety of sources can cause significant health
problems, especially in young children and pregnant women. Not
enough research has been done to fully evaluate potential health
risks that may be associated with lead in game meat, but data from a
recent study suggest these risks are low for most people. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and DOW
offer recommendations to minimize exposure to lead in wild game:
*Lead fragments cannot be eliminated with complete certainty, so
pregnant women and children younger than 6 should avoid eating
meat from game animals harvested with lead bullets. These groups
are more sensitive to the health effects of lead, and ingesting even
small amounts may be harmful. Lead can affect the development of
infants and young children.
*Hunters can eliminate lead in game meat by using lead-free bullets.
*When processing an animal, liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the bullet because lead fragments may scatter some distance
from the visible wound. Discard meat that is bruised, discolored or
contains hair, dirt, grass, bone or lead fragments.
*Lead is a soft metal that can be ground with meat, spreading lead
contamination through an entire batch of ground meat. Lead has
been found more often in ground meat than whole meat cuts. To
minimize the amount of processed game meat potentially contaminated with lead, clean the grinder frequently, preferably between
each animal.
*Even if a carcass is processed using these recommendations, at
home or a commercial processor, there is still a chance small
amounts of lead may remain in the meat if lead bullets have been
used.

�2010 BIG GAME HUNTING

5. You can donate to someone without a “like license”:
a. up to 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
6. You can donate to someone with a “like license”:
a. up to 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s
tag must remain with his/her portion.
(3) If the entire carcass is donated, donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s
“like license” must be attached to carcass.

AFTER YOU HARVEST AN ANIMAL
CARCASS TAGS
You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per instructions on tag. Tags
must stay on until meat is processed and remain with meat until consumed. It is
illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill. If you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag, you must get a duplicate from the DOW before hunting and prove
the loss, detachment or destruction was accidental. Do not remove other parts of
a license except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the license, and you
must buy a duplicate.

EVIDENCE OF SEX, ANTLER POINTS
1. It is illegal to have or transport a big game carcass without evidence of sex
naturally attached. It is illegal only to have evidence of sex accompany the
carcass. If you submit a deer or elk head for CWD testing, leave evidence
of sex on the carcass.
2. Evidence of sex is:
a. Buck/Bull: Head, with antlers or horns, attached to carcass, or testicle,
scrotum or penis attached to carcass.
b. Doe/Cow: Head, udder (mammary) or vulva attached to carcass.
c. Black Bear: Male: testicles or penis. Female: vulva.
3. Heads detached from carcass are not adequate evidence of sex.
4. If a carcass is cut in pieces or deboned, evidence of sex only needs to be attached to 1/4 or another major part of carcass. All portions must be transported together.
5. Evidence of sex not required if a donation certificate accompanies less
than 20 lbs. of meat or after the carcass is cut into processed meat (commercially or otherwise), wrapped and frozen, or stored at licensee’s home.
6. Elk antler-point compliance:
a. If you leave the head with its antlers at a taxidermist, you must get a
receipt from taxidermist, with date delivered and description of antlers
before you take the carcass home or to a commercial processor.
b. Head or skull plate, with both antlers naturally attached, must accompany the carcass of bulls in camp or in transit, even when the scrotum
or testicles are used as evidence of sex. (Except in “a” above.)

BEARS - INSPECTION AND SEALS
Hunters must personally present bears to the DOW for inspection and sealing within 5 working days after the kill. Bear heads and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection. At inspection, the DOW is authorized
to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the head and hide are frozen, the
DOW may keep them long enough to thaw so that a tooth can be removed.
A check report must be done at inspection. No fee required. Seals must be
attached to the hide until tanned. Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado
until hide and skull are inspected and sealed. Having a bear hide without a
seal after the 5-day period is illegal, and the hide becomes state property.
Contact the nearest DOW office or officer for inspection and sealing. To
transport a bear or parts to a foreign country, you must first obtain CITES
documents. Contact U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service, (303) 342-7430.

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTION
1. All moose license holders must complete and return a harvest questionnaire provided by the DOW within 30 days after their hunting season
ends. Any licensee who does not complete and return the mandatory
questionnaire will not be eligible for a future moose license.
2. All moose must be submitted in person for inspection within five working
days of harvest. Mandatory check report will be completed during inspection. Mandatory chronic wasting disease testing also will occur at this
time. Hunters must submit the head of antlerless moose or head with
antlers attached of antlered moose to any DOW office.

TRANSPORTING GAME

ACCIDENTAL KILL

1. You can be cited for illegally transporting game animals even if someone
else made an error. When you transport carcasses or processed meat:
a. Carcasses must be properly tagged. You must meet evidence of sex
and antler-point requirements. Hunters must keep their own license.
b. Carcass tags or donation certificates must accompany processed game
meat.
2. Carcass tags must be securely attached to carcass, not antlers, or must accompany processed meat.
3. To ship by commercial carrier, the license, photocopy of license, carcass
tag or donation certificate must accompany carcass or processed meat.
4. Hunters transporting game through national parks or monuments must
follow federal regulations. Contact National Park Service for information.

Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness or
negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to the DOW before
continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting the DOW,
field dress the animal to avoid spoiling meat. The DOW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and number of animals present,
firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.

DONATING GAME MEAT

You may receive a phone call or e-mail, asking you to take part in a harvest
survey. Surveys are important in helping the DOW set hunting seasons. You
will be asked basic information, such as where you hunted and when. The
survey is conducted October through mid-February. See our website for
more information.

1. Donation certificates are required for game meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill;
donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
2. A “like license” is a license for the same species, sex, season and method of
take as a donor’s license.
3. Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
4. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat can be donated to
anyone, anywhere.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS
If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number, color, harvest location and date to the DOW and return radio collars.

HARVEST SURVEYS

�2010 BIG GAME HUNTING

subject to volume and laboratory backlog. Suspected positive results are
confirmed by a second test, which takes 7-10 more working days. Because
moose samples are tested differently than deer and elk, their initial results
may not be available for 15-20 working days or more. In addition, hunters
whose animals test positive are contacted by the DOW. If you don’t get test
results more than three weeks (15 working days) after submission, call a
DOW office.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) affects deer, elk, and moose. It occurs in
free-ranging deer, elk and moose in parts of Colorado, as well as several
other states and provinces. Infected animals can show no signs of illness
throughout much of the disease. In terminal stages of CWD, animals appear
emaciated and often behave abnormally. In Colorado, distribution and
prevalence of CWD vary. Infection rates appear higher in males and older
animals. As a result of testing, CWD was detected in units 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36,

521, 591, 951. These units are highlighted on the map in this brochure. Surveillance summaries are posted on our website.

LICENSE FEE AND OTHER REFUNDS
Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test positive for CWD are eligible for a license fee refund or an antlerless license. If the hunting season has ended or
there’s not a reasonable amount of time left in the current season, the DOW
may issue an antlerless license for the next year’s season in the same unit
where the animal was killed. If antlerless hunting isn’t offered in that unit,
the DOW can designate a substitute unit. If the original license was for a season that closed before Oct. 31, the replacement license will be valid until
Oct. 31. When paid, costs for processing CWD positive animals are refunded. Requests for reimbursements must be made on DOW forms and
accompanied by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50 for processing allowed
without receipts. Reimbursements for deer and elk are limited to $100 per
animal for private processing or $200 per animal for commercial processing.
The maximum allowed for commercial processing of moose is $250.

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS ADVISED
CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and federal
health experts. However, the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment and the Division of Wildlife advise hunters to take simple precautions when handling carcasses of deer, elk and moose from units where
the disease has been detected. Do not shoot, handle or consume animals
that appear sick. Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and processing animals. Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic tissues. Wash hands
and instruments thoroughly after field dressing. Bone out meat from your
animal (following evidence of sex and antler-point regulations). Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes. Do
not eat meat from CWD positive animals.

CARCASS TRANSPORT RESTRICTIONS
Nonresidents are encouraged to check with non-Colorado wildlife agencies
to see if carcass restrictions apply before taking deer, elk or moose carcasses
from Colorado through other states.

CWD TESTING
CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available statewide. The test
cost will be up to $25 per animal when submitted through the DOW. See
CWD page on our website in early August for costs and other details. Test
costs may be waived at DOW submission sites in seasons or units where
more samples are needed. See “Mandatory Moose Inspection”.

OTHER INFORMATION
OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV)
All OHVs operated in Colorado must have a valid Colorado registration or
a Colorado nonresident permit (except on private property).
Registration/permits cost $25.25 and are available from Colorado State
Parks. Annual registration and permits are valid April 1 through March 31.
To buy a nonresident permit, call (303) 791-1920 or go
www.parks.state.co.us/parksstore. For information, go to
www.parks.state.co.us/OHVsandSnowmobiles/OHVProgram. A motor vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle or vehicle drawn by a self-propelled vehicle
by which persons or property may be moved, carried or transported from
one place to another by land or air. All Colorado law enforcement officers
can write motor vehicle (including OHV) tickets on federal public lands.
Contact the public land management agencies for their current motor vehicle rules, regulations and acency maps.

PREPARING ANIMALS FOR TESTING
Avoid shooting an animal in the head or neck. When removing the head,
leave 1-2 inches below where the neck joins the skull (just below first vertebrae). Whole brains or other brain pieces are not accepted for testing. Check
the CWD section of our website for alternate tissues that may be used for
testing. Hunters may want to learn to collect samples themselves. Keep samples or heads cold but not frozen. Do not submerge in water. Submit samples
or heads as soon as possible, no more than 5 days after harvest. Hunters can
remove antlers before submitting heads. However, animals from units with
antler-point restrictions must comply with regulations.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS FOR TESTING

HUNTERS BRINGING/USING HORSES

You can take heads or tissue samples to a DOW submission site or a participating veterinarian. You must bring your license so that the DOW can scan
the bar code and obtain your address and phone number. You will be asked
for kill site coordinates or to show it on a map at the submission site, along
with the unit and date of harvest. If someone else submits your animal, they
must bring your CID number, but you should keep your license. Submitters
should bring the same information listed above. See CWD page on our website in early August for submission sites, hours and other details.

You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of Health Inspection
within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses need a Coggins Blood
Test for equine infectious anemia within a year before coming here. Call
Colorado State Veterinarian’s office, (303) 239-4161. Residents: Horses may
require brand inspection before transportation. Call brand inspector, (303)
294-0895.

CERTIFIED HAY

TEST RESULTS

All samples are sent to Colorado State University's Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratory. Testing is for CWD screening only and does not assure the absolute safety of meat for human consumption. Testing accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending on sample type and quality. No test can assure complete
accuracy, and "not detected" results don't exclude the possibility of early
stage CWD. Test results are provided by automated phone system, 1-800434-0274, on our website or by calling (303) 297-1192. Tests are completed
as soon as possible. The goal is to provide results within 10-15 working days,

Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and DOW property unless
certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be clearly marked by certifying
agency. People who transport these materials on public roads crossing
DOW property are exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or BLM; or go to

�2010 BIG GAME HUNTING

BAG LIMITS/SEASON PARTICIPATION RESTRICTIONS

LICENSE ALLOCATIONS

1. Limited licenses: You can submit only 1 application in the drawing per
species, per year. No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag and possession limit is the total
number of animals you can legally kill of each species. Big game killed in
January and February seasons set as part of the previous calendar year’s
seasons fall under that year’s bag and possession limit. When a license allows hunting in more than 1 unit, the unit in the hunt code determines
the maximum number of licenses a hunter can obtain per year for that
species.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is 1, except for auction, raffle
or special management licenses.
Bear
1. You cannot hunt bear with an “over-the-counter with caps” bear license in
a regular rifle deer or elk season west of I-25 or in units 133, 134, 136, 140,
141, 142, 143 and 147 unless you also have a deer or elk license for the
same unit, season and method of take. If your deer or elk license is restricted to private land, so is the bear license. This does not apply to
archery or muzzleloading bear licenses.
2. You can hunt bears only with an “over-the-counter with caps” bear license
in 1 bear season. If the deer or elk season dates overlap more than 1 bear
season, you must pick 1 bear season when you buy your license.

Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw a specific license over a 3year period that ended with the 2009 drawing. (Units with low numbers of
available licenses may not have any remaining for nonresidents after resident
licenses are drawn.)
1. For hunt codes that required 6 or more points for a Colorado resident to
draw an elk or deer license, 80 percent of licenses go to residents and up
to 20 percent to nonresidents. These hunts are shown in unit tables by a
“+” under “SEX.”
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than 6 points for a Colorado resident
to draw an elk or deer license, 65 percent of licenses go to residents and
up to 35% to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain after drawing all
first-choice hunt codes for Colorado residents.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and Ranching For
Wildlife licenses.
5. Mixed-group applications of residents and nonresidents count against the
nonresident allocation.

NUMBER OF ALLOWABLE LICENSES
The following charts tell how many and the kind of licenses you can have for
each species.

Coyotes
You can hunt coyotes without a small game license during big game seasons
if you have an unfilled big game license. But, you can hunt coyotes only in
the same unit, season and manner of take as on the big game license. Once
you fill your big game license, you must buy a small game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a coyote does not void your big game license.

$103.75

1. The header describes which species and method the table is depicting
hunt codes for.
2. The column titled “UNIT” is where you will first look to find your desired
hunt unit.
• If the hunt code associated with a certain unit is also valid in additional units, the column titled “VALID UNITS” will list applicable
units.
• If a “VALID UNITS” (column 2) is only associated with the main
“UNIT”, the information listed with that unit will read, “SEE UNIT”.
For example, see units 80 &amp; 81 above.
• Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid in one
unit only, while others are valid in multiple units.
3. “METHOD/SEASON” column depicts the legal methods and seasons for
each unit/hunt code.
• Please read the rows carefully as units may have different seasons. For
example, Deer “Archery - Late” vs. “Archery”.
4. The “DATE” column lists the applicable season dates when said license is
valid.
• Please follow the rows carefully as each unit may have multiple dates.
5. “SEX” this column indicates the sex that can be hunted in that season.
• Please read the information carefully, for the permitted sex for a hunt
code may have changed since the previous year.
6. “HUNT CODE” is the final column. This is the code you will use to apply
for the desired license.
• Please make sure to read the information carefully as there are many
possible hunt codes associated with each unit and they may have
changed since the last year.
7. PRIVATE LAND ONLY: When a hunt is allowed only on private land,
you must get permission from a landowner in that unit before you hunt.

�2010 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

GROUP APPLICATIONS

REFUNDS

1. Any number of people can apply as a group for deer, elk, bear and pronghorn. Group applications are not allowed for moose. Members must
apply for the same species, hunt code unit, season and method of take for
each choice. If there are discrepancies, the leader’s hunt code is used.
Groups are assigned a number, and if their number is selected in the
drawing, everyone in the group gets a license. However, if the group is seleted and there aren’t enough licenses for everyone in the group, the group
will not draw; OR if the group has resident and nonresident applicants
and the nonresident cap has been met, the group will not draw.
2. To apply as a group, one person must be chosen as the leader. All members, including the leader, must apply using the leader’s CID number in
the “For Groups Only” section. See “Application Instructions” on page
13.
3. If everyone in the group is successful for their first choice, they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero. If unsuccessful for their
first choice, everyone gets a point. Licenses, refunds and notifications are
sent to each person.
4. If anyone in the group makes an application error or doesn’t pay the correct amount, everyone is disqualified and won’t get a preference point.

1. To get a refund or prefernce point restored you must turn in your license
and carcass tag before opening day of that season. License must be accompanied by a completed request form obtained at a DOW office or on
our website. Requests must be postmarked before the season starts. If
there isn’t enough time to request a form, mail your license and carcass
tag with a letter to the DOW. The envelope must be postmarked before
the season starts and mailed to DOW, 6060 Broadway, Denver, 80216,
attn: Refund Office.
2. After a season starts, refund or prefernce point restorations are limited to
extreme medical circumstances of licensee, death of the licensee or death
of licensee’s immediate family member.
3. Refunds or preference point restorations are not considered more than 30
days after a season starts. This limit is extended for members of the U.S.
military whose service prevented requesting a refund on time.
4. Refunds for unsuccessful drawing applications are issued by June 30. The
$3 application fee is not refunded. Preference points used in applying are
not restored to your record if you return your license and obtain a refund.
Points may be restored in lieu of a refund at licensee’s request if the license
is returned before the season opens.

In an effort to expand quality opportunities to big game hunters, the Colorado Wildlife Commission has established a "Hybrid" drawing for select elk
and deer licenses for the 2010 hunting seasons. The purpose of the drawing
is to give hunters the additional opportunity to draw a license for some of
the state’s premier elk and deer hunting areas. Hunters who normally would
not have enough preference points to draw these licenses now have a slight
chance to draw a small number of the most coveted licenses through this
process. Nonresident caps apply. (Units with low numbers of available licenses may not have any remaining for the Hybrid Drawing.)

Hunter Qualifications:
Hunters must have a minimum of five elk or deer preference points to participate in the Hybrid drawing.
Hunters must apply individually (group applications are not accepted).
How it Works:
In hunt codes requiring 10 or more resident preference points to draw
(based on a three year average and excluding Ranching for Wildlife), 20 percent of the available licenses will be issued through a random drawing.
Qualified resident and nonresident hunters who select applicable elk and
deer hunt codes (listed below) and have at least five preference points for
that species will automatically enter the Hybrid drawing.
Applicable hunt codes must be entered as your first choice on your application.
Winning applicants in the Hybrid drawing will be selected randomly.
Hunters who successfully draw a license in the Hybrid drawing will lose
their preference points. Unsuccessful applicants will be awarded one preference point.

OPERATION GAME THIEF
Operation Game Thief (OGT) is a nonprofit organization working with the
DOW’s law enforcement program. It pays
rewards to citizens who report poachers or
resource violations. Callers don’t have to
reveal their names, testify in court or sign a
deposition. Rewards are paid if the information leads to the arrest of a poacher or a
citation is issued. Rewards do not depend
on a conviction but must be requested
when a violation is reported. Call toll-free,
1-877-COLOOGT (265-6648) toll free.
The number should not be used for information requests or emergencies.

ELK HUNTERS:BE AWAREOFYOURTARGET!
Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in
Colorado.
Make sure you know the difference between these
two species, so you don’t accidentally kill a moose.
Use your binoculars, not scopes. Don’t just look at
the animal’s antlers; study the entire head before
you shoot.

LEAD BULLETS IN GAME MEAT
Recently, concerns have been raised about the potential risk of exposure to lead
from eating wild game harvested with lead bullets. Ingesting lead from a variety of sources can cause significant health problems, especially in young children and pregnant women. Not enough research has been done to fully evaluate potential health risks that may be associated with lead in game meat, but
data from a recent study suggest these risks are low for most people. The
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and DOW offer recommendations to minimize exposure to lead in wild game:
*Lead fragments cannot be eliminated with complete certainty, so pregnant
women and children younger than 6 should avoid eating meat from game animals harvested with lead bullets. These groups are more sensitive to the health
effects of lead, and ingesting even small amounts may be harmful. Lead can
affect the development of infants and young children
*Hunters can eliminate lead in their game meat by using lead-free bullets.
*When processing an animal, liberally trim and discard meat damaged by the
bullet because lead fragments may scatter some distance from the visible
wound. Discard meat that is bruised, discolored or contains hair, dirt, grass, visible bone or lead fragments.
*Lead is a soft metal that can be ground with meat, spreading lead contamination through an entire batch of ground meat. Lead has been found more often
in ground meat than whole meat cuts. To minimize the amount of processed
game meat potentially contaminated with lead, clean the grinder frequently,
preferably between each animal. Ask your commercial processor to process
your animal individually to avoid cross-contamination from batching multiple
animals.
*Even if a carcass is processed using these recommendations, whether at home
or a commercial processor, there is still a chance small amounts of lead may
remain in the meat if lead bullets have been used.

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS
1. You must have a license to hunt and carry it while hunting.
2. You can hunt only the animal, season and area stated on the license.
3. It is illegal to give false information to obtain a license. It also is
illegal to alter a license or to loan, transfer, sell or give your license to
someone.
4. If you lose or destroy your license, you can get a duplicate before
the season opens from a license agent for a fee. After the season
begins, duplicate available only at DOW offices.
5. Licenses expire on the date stated on them.

HUNTER EDUCATION (SAFETY)
Hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1949, must have completed an
approved hunter education course or bowhunter education course
(for archery licenses only) sanctioned by a state or province before
applying for or purchasing a license. Colorado honors hunter education courses from other states and provinces. You must present an
original hunter safety card when buying a license. You must carry
your hunter education card when hunting unless “Verified” is
printed by the DOW on your license.

�YOUTH PREFERENCE

HABITAT STAMP REQUIREMENTS

1. Up to 15 percent of limited doe pronghorn, doe and either-sex
deer, and cow elk licenses in regular rifle and private-land-only
rifle seasons (except late rifle, muzzleloading, Ranching For
Wildlife and Air Force Academy) are available for youths, 12-17,
who meet hunter education requirements. These licenses are
available by drawing. Licenses not drawn by youths are available
to the public.
2. Group applications are not accepted. If you enter more than 1
hunt code on your application, all hunt codes must be eligible for
youth preferences as in #1 above.

For License Buyers: A habitat stamp is required of people 1964 who buy hunting or fishing licenses. With a license purchase, the stamp is $5 and required with the first 2 licenses
bought per year ($10 total). The stamp allows access to state
wildlife areas and state trust lands leased by the DOW.
For Wildlife and Outdoor Enthusiasts: A habitat stamp is
required of all people 19-64 who visit a state wildlife area or
state trust land leased by the DOW. This stamp is $10.25 (25cent search and rescue fee).
Lifetime Stamp: Anyone can buy a $200 lifetime stamp to
satisfy these requirements.

LATE YOUTH ELK HUNTS
Youths, 12-17, may keep hunting if they don’t harvest an elk
before their elk season ends. This is available to youths with
unfilled cow or either-sex elk licenses. Youths with unfilled bull
elk licenses are not eligible.
1. The elk season for which the original license was issued must
have ended. Youths can go to the elk tables in this brochure and
pick from any cow only elk season still open after the fourth regular rifle season ends, including private-land-only seasons.
Ranching For Wildlife Licenses excluded.
2. Youths must follow rules for the hunt code they select, including season dates and geographic restrictions. If the unit table
indicates a hunt is valid on private land only, youths can hunt
only on private land. If the unit tables don’t state “private land
only,” the license is valid on public and private land. Permission
required before hunting on private land.
3. Youths with an unfilled either-sex elk license must go to a
DOW office and get it converted to a cow license before hunting
in one of these late seasons.
4. A mentor must accompany youths under 16.
5. Mentors can hunt with a youth only if the mentor’s license is
valid for the same unit, dates and geographic restrictions as the
youth’s.
6. Youths who obtained their original license at age 17 and later
turn 18 can participate in these late seasons. Youth hunting rules
apply.

Licenses are NOT mailed until you meet your habitat stamp requirement.

RESIDENCY QUALIFICATIONS
These are the requirements to qualify as a Colorado resident to

buy a hunting license:
1. You must have lived continuously in Colorado at least six
months immediately before applying for or buying a license, and
must intend to make Colorado home (except #2 and 3 below).
The residence address you give to buy or apply for a license
must be the same as on your Colorado income tax return.

license.
4. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal guardian or person with whom they live most of the
time per court order.
5. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call (303)

2

�from public roads not allowed. All wildlife laws must be observed.
2. Permits from other states not honored here.
3. Hunters must apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting.
Applications are on our website. Hunters are encouraged to get a permit
before applying for a limited license.

SEASON CHOICE LICENSES
NEW FOR 2009: Experimental season choice licenses are
available for deer hunting in units 91, 92 and 96. These are private-land-only doe deer licenses valid until filled in established
archery, muzzleloading, regular rifle and late rifle deer seasons.
Hunters may use a season choice license to hunt in any or all of
the seasons on private land in designated units until license is
filled. Hunters who draw one of these licenses must comply with
all season restrictions, including season dates and method of
take. See “2009 Deer Seasons.”

MOBILITY-IMPAIRED LICENSES
1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered
to mobility-impaired hunters. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence
includes, but not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a
wheelchair, shoulder or arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at DOW offices and must be
mailed with license fees to DOW, Limited Licenses, 6060
Broadway, Denver, 80216. Applications accepted from the
Monday after the Wildlife Commission meeting in May through
the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first come, first served
until unit and program caps are reached.

LANDOWNER PREFERENCE
Up to 15 percent of deer, elk and pronghorn licenses in units with
totally limited licenses are allocated for people who own at least
160 contiguous acres of agricultural land. Landowner preference
is available in units with limited licenses in all rifle seasons.
Landowner preference quotas are allocated by species, sex and
season. The 15 percent is for regular and priority landowner applicants. Priority registered applicants have priority over other applicants.

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. One preference point is awarded if you apply properly for
deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose as your first choice and
are unsuccessful in drawing a license. You also can apply for
a preference-point hunt code as your first choice. See
“Preference Point Hunt Code.” If you make any application
error, you will not get a point.
2. Unsuccessful applicants and those who apply for a point
will be assessed a $25 fee per species unless they have purchased 1 of the following: (Fee waived for youths, lifetime
license holders, free senior annual fishing license holders and
Colorado residents who are in the military on active duty
outside Colorado.)
a. An annual fishing, small game, resident combination
small game and fishing, or furbearer license in the previous
year.
b. A big game license in the previous year or a current limited license for the same species for which they are seeking a
point.
3. Points are awarded for specific species, not by hunt codes
or method of take. No one else can use your points.
4. Priority goes to those with the most points, except when
the license quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded.
5. Group applications receive priority according to the member with the fewest points except when there are not enough
licenses for everyone in the group.
6. Second, third and fourth choices do not generate or use
points.
7. If you are unsuccessful on your first choice, your accumulated points will be shown on your refund, leftover drawing
application or your other-choice license.
8. Preference points accumulate until you draw a first-choice
license. If you don’t apply at least once within 3 consecutive
years for a deer, elk, pronghorn or bear license, you lose your
points for that species. Applying for preference points keeps
your file active.
9. You can accumulate a max. of 3 points for moose. If you
have 3 points for moose and fail to draw a first-choice license,
you get weighted preference in future drawings. Weighted preference increases the probability of drawing a license. If you
draw a license or don’t apply at least once during 5 years, all
points (weighted or otherwise) become void.
10. Youths can apply for a point if they turn 12 by Dec. 31 of
the application year.
11. Active duty U.S. military stationed in Colorado but
deployed elsewhere are eligible, when they return here, to
apply for a preference point for any limited license offered
this year.

PRIORITY LANDOWNER REGISTRATION
Deadline to register properties is the second Friday in January.
To register for the 2010 season, contact a DOW office.
Registered landowners have priority over other landowners. Up
to 6 deer, elk or pronghorn applications are available for
landowners. Number of applications per landowner depends on
acres owned. Landowner applications are drawn before the
DOW’s regular limited license drawing. Successful landowners
get vouchers for eligible hunters of their choice. Vouchers must
be redeemed at license agents or DOW offices before hunting.
Unsuccessful landowners receive preference in next year’s drawing. Hunters redeeming vouchers are subject to regular bag limits. Redeeming vouchers grants permission to hunt on the land
for which the voucher was issued. The DOW has a landowner
pilot program for pronghorn hunting east of I-25 and elk in units 1
and 10. Call (303) 291-7380 for information.

LANDOWNER PILOT PUBLIC LICENSES
The landowner pilot program offers elk hunting in units 1 and
10. The hunts are designated in the unit tables by Y2, Y3 and Y4
hunt codes. Licenses valid in the entire unit, as well as private
properties successful in the pilot program. If you draw one of
these licenses, you will receive a list of participating landowners
and other details in the mail.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES
Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are available to hunters 12-21 with a terminal illness or life-threatening
disease or injury. Licenses issued only for the dates and unit with
an open season for specific species. Licenses not offered in units
with at least 1 hunt code that require 10 or more resident preference points to draw (excluding Ranching For Wildlife). Before a
license is issued, hunters must obtain written permission from the
landowner to hunt on private land. Sponsoring organizations
must request licenses in writing and document the life-threatening or terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, hunt location and dates. Submit requests to DOW, Hunter
Outreach Coordinator, 6060 Broadway, Denver, 80216.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES
Permits are available to disabled hunters, including for method of take
accommodations.
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt. Shooting
3

�licenses.
2. You can hunt bears only with an “over-the-counter with caps”
bear license in 1 bear season. If the deer or elk season dates overlap
more than 1 bear season, you must pick 1 bear season when you buy
your license.
Coyotes
You can hunt coyotes without a small game license during big game
seasons if you have an unfilled big game license. But, you can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on the
big game license. Once you fill your big game license, you must
buy a small game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big game license.

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE
You can apply for a preference point without losing points
you already have. A special hunt code is in the hunt code sections for each species. Entering the preference point hunt
code as a first choice on your application automatically
awards you a point. You also can apply for a license as your
second, third or fourth choice. You must pay the full cost of a
license and meet all license requirements even if you are
applying only for a point. If you only apply for a point, your
money, minus the $3 application fee, is refunded. Another
$25 may be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria under
“Preference Points #2.”

NUMBER OF ALLOWABLE LICENSES
The following charts tell how many and the kind of licenses you can
have for each species.

2009 BAG LIMITS
1. Limited licenses: You can submit only 1 application in the drawing per species, per year. No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag and possession limit is
the total number of animals you can legally kill of each species. Big
game killed in January and February seasons set as part of the previous calendar year’s seasons fall under that year’s bag and possession
limit. When a license allows hunting in more than 1 unit, the unit in
the hunt code determines the max. number of licenses a hunter can
obtain per year for that species.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is 1, except
for auction, raffle or special management licenses.

YOUR 75 CENT WILDLIFE
EDUCATION FEE WORKS FOR YOU

Bear
1. You cannot hunt bear with an “over-the-counter with caps” bear
license in a regular rifle deer or elk season west of I-25 or in units
133, 134, 136, 140, 141, 142, 143 and 147 unless you also have a
deer or elk license for the same unit, season and method of take. If
your deer or elk license is restricted to private land, so is the bear

�LICENSE ALLOCATIONS

GROUP APPLICATIONS

Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of
preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw a specific
license over a 3-year period that ended with the 2005 drawing.
(Units with low numbers of available licenses may not have any
remaining for nonresidents after resident licenses are drawn.)
1. For hunt codes that required 5 or more points for a Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, 80 percent of licenses go to
residents and up to 20 percent to nonresidents. These hunts are
shown in unit tables by a “+” under “Permitted Bag.”
2. For hunt codes that required fewer than 5 points for a Colorado
resident to draw an elk or deer license, 65 percent of licenses go to
residents and up to 35 to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain after
drawing all first-choice hunt codes for Colorado residents.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and
Ranching For Wildlife licenses.
5. Mixed-group applications of residents and nonresidents count
against the nonresident allocation.

1. Any number of people can apply as a group for deer, elk,
bear and pronghorn. Group applications are not allowed for
moose. Members must apply for the same species, hunt
code, unit and season for each choice. If there are discrepancies, the leader’s hunt code is used. Groups are assigned a
number, and if their number is selected in the drawing,
everyone in the group gets a license. This won’t happen if
there aren’t enough licenses for everyone in the group. It
also won’t happen if the group includes resident and nonresident applicants and the nonresident cap has been met.
2. To apply as a group, 1 person must be the leader.
Members must apply using the leader’s CID number. See
“Filling Out Applications.”
3. If everyone in the group is successful for their first choice,
they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero.
If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point.
Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each person.
4. If anyone in the group makes an application error or doesn’t pay the correct amount, everyone is disqualified and
won’t get a preference point.

claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s tag must
remain with his/her portion.
(3) If the entire carcass is donated, donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s “like license” must be attached to carcass.

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS ADVISED
CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and
federal health experts. However, the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment and the Division of Wildlife
advise hunters to take simple precautions when handling carcasses
of deer, elk and moose from units where the disease has been
detected. Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that appear
sick. Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and processing animals. Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic tissues. Wash
hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing. Bone out
meat from your animal (following evidence of sex and antler-point
regulations). Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes. Do not eat meat from CWD positive animals.

BEARS - INSPECTION AND SEALS
You must personally present bears to the DOW for inspection and sealing within 5 working days after the kill. Bear heads and hides must be
unfrozen when presented for inspection. At inspection, the DOW is
authorized to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the head and hide
are frozen, the DOW may keep them long enough to thaw so that a
tooth can be removed. A check report must be done at inspection. No
fee required. Seals must be attached to the hide until tanned. Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until hide and skull are inspected and
sealed. Having a bear hide without a seal after the 5-day period is illegal, and the hide becomes state property. Contact the nearest DOW
office or officer for inspection and sealing. To transport a bear or parts
to a foreign country, you must first obtain CITES documents. Contact
U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service, (303) 342-7430.

CWD TESTING
1. CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available
statewide. The test cost will be up to $25 per animal when submitted through the DOW. See CWD page on our website in early
August for costs and other details. Test costs may be waived at
DOW submission sites in seasons or units where more samples are
needed.
2. See “Mandatory Inspection: Moose.”

MANDATORY MOOSE INSPECTION
NEW FOR 2009: All moose must be submitted for inspection within five working days of harvest. Mandatory check report will be completed during inspection. Mandatory chronic wasting disease testing
also will occur at this time. Hunters must submit the head of antlerless
moose or head with antlers attached of antlered moose to any DOW
office.

PREPARING ANIMALS FOR TESTING
Avoid shooting an animal in the head or neck. When removing the
head, leave 1-2 inches below where the neck joins the skull (just
below first vertebrae). Whole brains or other brain pieces are not
accepted for testing. Check the CWD section of our website for
alternate tissues that may be used for testing. Hunters may want to
learn to collect samples themselves. Keep samples or heads cold
but not frozen. Do not submerge in water. Submit samples or
heads as soon as possible, no more than 5 days after harvest.
Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However,
animals from units with antler-point restrictions must comply with
regulations.

ACCIDENTAL KILL
Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness
or negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to the
DOW before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting the DOW, field dress the animal to avoid spoiling meat. The
DOW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and
number of animals present, firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS FOR TESTING
You can take heads or tissue samples to a DOW submission site or
a participating veterinarian. You must bring your license so that
DOW can scan the bar code and obtain your address and phone
number. You will be asked for kill site coordinates or to show it on
a map at the submission site, along with the unit and date of harvest. If someone else submits your animal, he/she must your CID
number, but you should keep your license. Submitters should
bring the same information listed above. See CWD page on our
website in early August for submission sites, hours and other
details.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS
If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to the DOW and return radio collars.

HARVEST SURVEYS
You may receive a phone call or e-mail, asking you to take part in a harvest survey. Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Surveys are
important in helping the DOW set hunting seasons. You will be asked
basic information, such as where you hunted and when. If you are contacted, you can do the survey online, www.cdowsurvey.com or call
1-866-825-0045. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct. through mid-Feb.
See our website for more information.

TEST RESULTS
All samples are sent to Colorado State University's Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory. Testing is for CWD screening only and
does not assure the absolute safety of meat for human consumption. Testing accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending on sample
type and quality. No test can assure complete accuracy, and "not
detected" results don't exclude the possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided by automated phone system, 1-800-4340274, on our website or by calling (303) 297-1192. Tests are completed as soon as possible. The goal is to provide results within 1015 working days, subject to volume and laboratory backlog.
Suspected positive results are confirmed by a second test, which
takes 7-10 more working days. Because moose samples are tested

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) affects deer, elk, and moose. It
occurs in free-ranging deer, elk and moose in parts of Colorado, as
well as several other states and provinces. Infected animals can
show no signs of illness throughout much of the disease. In terminal stages of CWD, animals appear emaciated and often behave
abnormally. In Colorado, distribution and prevalence of CWD
vary. Infection rates appear higher in males and older animals. As
a result of testing, CWD was detected in units 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29,
33, 36, 37, 38, 39, 42, 51, 59, 69, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93,

10

�differently than deer and elk, their initial results may not be available for 15-20 working days or more. In addition, hunters whose
animals test positive are contacted by the DOW. If you don’t get
test results more than three weeks (15 working days) after submission, call a DOW office.

CERTIFIED HAY
Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and DOW
property unless certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be
clearly marked by certifying agency. People who transport
these materials on public roads crossing DOW property are
exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or
BLM; or go to www.ag.state.co.us/DPI/WeedFreeForage/weedfree.html.

LICENSE FEE AND OTHER REFUNDS
Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test positive for CWD are eligible for a license fee refund or an antlerless license. If the hunting
season has ended or there’s not a reasonable amount of time left in
the current season, the DOW may issue an antlerless license for
the next year’s season in the same unit where the animal was
killed. If antlerless hunting isn’t offered in that unit, the DOW can

GUIDE TO UNITTABLES
COMBINED UNITS
Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid one
unit only while others are valid
in multiple units. There are two
different ways this is shown in
the unit tables.
Example 1
All rifle elk licenses for unit 7
are also valid in unit 8. In this
circumstance, the sentence,
“License valid in units 7, 8”
appears in bold type at the bottom of the table for unit 7. Unit 8
reads “See UNIT 7.”
Example 2
Not all licenses in unit 44 are
valid in other units. Instead, only
some of unit 44 hunt codes
include other units. In this situation, the table indicates within
specific seasons where the hunt
code is valid. In unit 44, the separate rifle season license lists
units 44, 45, 47 and 444 where
you can hunt with this license.
However, in the three combined
seasons and the rifle early season, no other units are listed.
That means these licenses only
are valid in unit 44.

SAFE HANDLING OF GAME MEAT
Concern has grown recently about diseases affecting wild animals
that could potentially make humans sick. Most of the time, properly handled and prepared game meat poses no greater risk than
domestic meat of causing disease in humans. Hunters are encouraged to contact their local public health department or DOW office
for information on wildlife diseases that may be present where they
plan to hunt. Public health officials recommend the following precautions when handling and preparing game meat:

1. Do not handle animals that are obviously sick or found dead.
Report sick or dead animals you find to a DOW office.
2. Keep game cool, clean and dry.
3. Do not eat, drink or smoke while dressing game.
4. Use disposable gloves when cleaning game.
5. Wash your hands with soap and water, or use alcohol wipes after
dressing game.
6. Clean all tools and surfaces immediately afterward. Use hot
soapy water, then disinfect with a 10% chlorine bleach solution.
7. Cook game meat to an internal temperature of at least 165° F to
kill disease organisms and parasites. Juices from adequately cooked
game meat should be clear.
8. Do not eat any raw portions of wild game.
9. Do not feed raw wild game to domestic pets.

1. You must have lived continuously in Colorado at least six
months immediately before applying for or buying a license, and
must intend to make Colorado home (except #2 and 3 below). The
residence address you give to buy or apply for a license must be
the same as on your Colorado income tax return.
2. U.S. military personnel and military personnel of U.S. allies on
active duty in Colorado under permanent orders and their dependents. This includes people who were Colorado residents when they
entered the military and keep Colorado as their home of record,
and their dependents (with Colorado as their home of record).
Also included are personnel of the U.S. Diplomatic Service or
diplomatic services of nations recognized by the U.S. assigned
here on permanent active duty orders and their dependents. Active
duty does not include reserve status or National Guard.
3. Full-time students enrolled and attending an accredited
Colorado college, university or trade school at least six months
immediately before applying for or buying a license. This includes
students who are temporarily absent from Colorado but still
enrolled. Colorado residents who attend school full time out of
state and pay nonresident tuition still qualify for a resident license.
4. Children under 18 have the same residency status as their parent, legal guardian or person with whom they live most of the time
per court order.
5. If you have a home in Colorado and another state, call (303)
297-1192 to make sure you comply with Colorado residency
requirements before obtaining a hunting or fishing license.
6. Except as in #2 and 3 above, you lose your Colorado residency
if you apply for, buy or accept a hunting or fishing license as a resident of another state or country; register to vote outside Colorado
or get a driver’s license using an address in another state.

LATE YOUTH ELK HUNTS
Colorado allows youths, 12-17, to keep hunting if they don’t harvest an elk before their elk season ends. This is available to youths
with unfilled cow or either-sex elk licenses. Youths with unfilled
bull elk licenses are not eligible. Here’s how the program works:
1. The elk season for which the original license was issued must
have ended. Youths can go to the elk unit tables in this brochure
and pick from any cow only elk season that’s still open after the
fourth regular rifle season ends, including private-land-only seasons. Ranching For Wildlife Licenses excluded.
2. Youths must follow the rules applying to the hunt code they
select, including season dates and geographic restrictions. For
example, if the unit table indicates a hunt is valid on private land
only, youths can hunt only on private land. If the unit tables don’t
state “private land only,” the license is valid on public and private
land. Permission required before hunting on private land.
3. Youths with unfilled either-sex elk licenses must go to a DOW
office and get the license converted to a cow license before continuing to hunt in one of these late seasons.
4. A mentor must accompany youths under 16.
5. Mentors can hunt with a youth only if their license is valid for
the same unit, dates and geographic restrictions where the youth
hunts.
6. Youths who obtained their original license at age 17 and later
turn 18 can participate in these late seasons. Youth hunting rules
apply.

YOUTH OUTREACH LICENSES
Youth Outreach licenses are offered for deer, elk and pronghorn
licenses to qualified organizations sponsoring educational youth
hunting activities. Application procedures are on our website,
wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/HunterOutreach/YouthLicensingPrograms.

DOE DEER LICENSE FEES
NEW FOR 2008: License fees for doe deer have been reduced in
specific units. Those units are 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 131, 211 and
231. The fee reduction applies only to specific hunt codes for those
units. The reduction does NOT apply to D-F-033-O1-M. Also,
Colorado residents who apply for a preference point as their first
choice and a reduced-fee doe deer license as a second choice must
submit $29 with their application. See “Limited License Fees.”

RANCHING FOR WILDLIFE
Public RFW licenses are available only to Colorado residents
by drawing. Licenses are valid only for the season and ranch
specified. RFW landowners must provide free access to hunters
who draw a public license for their ranch. By applying for a
RFW license, hunters allow the DOW to provide applicant
information to the ranch. Hunting rules differ for each ranch.
Read ranch rules before applying on our website.

YOUTH BIG GAME LICENSES
Youths must be at least 12 and meet hunter education require-

�LANDOWNER PREFERENCE

MOBILITY-IMPAIRED LICENSES

Up to 15 percent of deer, elk and pronghorn licenses in units with
totally limited licenses are allocated for people who own at least
160 contiguous acres of agricultural land. Landowner preference is
available in units with limited licenses in all rifle seasons.
Landowner preference quotas are allocated by species, sex and
season. The 15 percent is for regular and priority landowner applicants. Priority registered applicants have priority over other applicants.

1. Some doe deer, cow elk and doe pronghorn licenses are offered
to mobility-impaired hunters. Hunters must have a mobility impairment resulting from permanent medical conditions, making it physically impossible to hunt without someone else’s help. Evidence
includes, but not limited to, prescribed equipment such as a
wheelchair, shoulder or arm crutches, walker or two canes.
2. Applications are available at DOW offices and must be
mailed with license fees to DOW, Limited Licenses, 6060
Broadway, Denver, 80216. Applications accepted from the
Monday after the Wildlife Commission meeting in May through
the end of rifle seasons. Licenses are first come, first served
until unit and program caps are reached.

PRIORITY LANDOWNER REGISTRATION
Deadline to register properties is the second Friday in January.
To register for the 2009 season, contact a DOW office.
Registered landowners have priority over other landowners. Up
to 6 deer, elk or pronghorn applications are available for
landowners as an incentive to provide wildlife habitat. Number
of applications per landowner depends on acres owned.
Landowner applications are drawn before the DOW’s regular
limited license drawing. Successful landowners get vouchers
for eligible hunters of their choice. Vouchers must be redeemed
at license agents or DOW offices before hunting. Unsuccessful
landowners receive preference in next year’s drawing. Hunters
redeeming vouchers are subject to regular bag limits.
Redeeming vouchers grants permission to hunt on the land for
which the voucher was issued. The DOW has a landowner
pilot program for pronghorn hunting east of I-25 and elk in
units 1 and 10. Call (303) 291-7380 for information.

PREFERENCE POINTS
1. One preference point is awarded if you apply properly for
deer, elk, pronghorn, bear or moose as your first choice and
are unsuccessful in drawing a license. You also can apply for
a preference-point hunt code as your first choice. See
“Preference Point Hunt Code.” If you make any application
error, you will not get a point.
2. Unsuccessful applicants and those who apply for a point
will be assessed a $25 fee per species unless they have purchased 1 of the following: (Fee waived for youths, lifetime
license holders and Colorado residents who are in the military on active duty outside Colorado.)
a. An annual fishing, small game, resident combination
small game and fishing, or furbearer license in the previous
year.
b. A big game license in the previous year or a current limited license for the same species for which they are seeking a
point.
3. Points are awarded for specific species, not by hunt codes
or method of take. No one else can use your points.
4. Priority goes to those with the most points, except when
the license quota or nonresident cap would be exceeded.
5. Group applications receive priority according to the member with the fewest points except when there are not enough
licenses for everyone in the group.
6. Second, third and fourth choices do not generate or use
points.
7. If you are unsuccessful on your first choice, your accumulated points will be shown on your refund, leftover drawing
application or your other-choice license.
8. Preference points accumulate until you draw a first-choice
license. If you don’t apply at least once within 3 consecutive
years for a deer, elk, pronghorn or bear license, you lose your
points for that species. Applying for preference points keeps
your file active.
9. You can accumulate a max. of 3 points for moose. If you
have 3 points for moose and fail to draw a first-choice license,
you get weighted preference in future drawings. Weighted preference increases the probability of drawing a license. If you
draw a license or don’t apply at least once during 5 years, all
points (weighted or otherwise) become void.
10. Youths can apply for a point if they turn 12 by Dec. 31 of
the application year.
11. Active duty U.S. military stationed in Colorado but
deployed elsewhere are eligible, when they return here, to
apply for a preference point for any limited license offered
this year.

LANDOWNER PILOT PUBLIC LICENSES
The landowner pilot program offers elk hunting opportunities
in units 1 and 10. These hunts are designated in the unit
tables by Y2, Y3 and Y4 hunt codes. These licenses are valid
in the entire unit, as well as on private properties registered
in the pilot program. If you apply for and draw one of these
licenses, you will receive a letter from the DOW with a list
of participating landowners and other details.

DREAM HUNT LICENSES
Deer, elk, pronghorn, mountain lion and bear licenses are
available to hunters 12-21 with a terminal illness or lifethreatening disease or injury. Licenses issued only for the
dates and unit where a season is open for specific species.
These licenses are not offered in units with at least 1 hunt
code that require 10 or more resident preference points to
draw (excluding Ranching For Wildlife). If hunting on private land, hunters must obtain written permission from the
landowner before a license is issued. Sponsoring organization
must request licenses in writing and must document the
hunter’s life-threatening or terminal condition, hunting experience, logistical considerations, the hunt location and dates.
Submit requests to DOW, Hunter Outreach Coordinator, 6060
Broadway, Denver, 80216.

HUNTERS WITH DISABILITIES
Permits are available to disabled hunters, including for method of
take accommodations. To qualify:
1. Hunters must have a temporary or permanent disability that significantly impairs major life functions and the ability to hunt.
Shooting from public roads not allowed. All wildlife laws must be
observed.
2. Permits from other states are not honored here.
3. Hunters must apply for a permit at least 30 days before hunting.
Applications are on our website. Hunters are encouraged to get a
permit before applying for a limited license.
3

�2. You can hunt bears only with an “over-the-counter with caps”
bear license in 1 bear season. If the deer or elk season dates overlap
more than 1 bear season, you must pick 1 bear season when you buy
your license.
Coyotes
You can hunt coyotes without a small game license during big game
seasons if you have an unfilled big game license. But, you can hunt
coyotes only in the same unit, season and manner of take as on the
big game license. Once you fill your big game license, you must
buy a small game or furbearer license to hunt coyotes. Harvesting a
coyote does not void your big game license.

PREFERENCE POINT HUNT CODE
You can apply for a preference point without losing points
you already have. A special hunt code is in the hunt code sections for each species. Entering the preference point hunt
code as a first choice on your application automatically
awards you a point. You also can apply for a license as your
second, third or fourth choice. You must pay the full cost of a
license and meet all license requirements even if you are
applying only for a point. If you only apply for a point, your
money, minus the $3 application fee, is refunded. Another
$25 may be deducted if you don’t meet the criteria under
“Preference Points #2.”

NUMBER OF ALLOWABLE LICENSES
The following charts tell how many and the kind of licenses you can
have for each species.

2008 BAG LIMITS
1. Limited licenses: You can submit only 1 application in the
drawing per species, per year. No exceptions.
2. Bag limits, license purchases: The bag and possession limit is
the total number of animals you can legally kill of each species.
Big game killed in January and February seasons set as part of the
previous calendar year’s seasons fall under that year’s bag and
possession limit.
3. Moose: The lifetime bag limit for bull moose is 1, except
for auction, raffle or special management licenses.

license in a regular rifle deer or elk season west of I-25 or in units
133, 134, 136, 140, 141, 142, 143 and 147 unless you also have a
deer or elk license for the same unit, season and method of take. If
your deer or elk license is restricted to private land, so is the bear
license. This does not apply to archery or muzzleloading bear
licenses.

�LICENSE ALLOCATIONS

GROUP APPLICATIONS

Nonresident allocations are determined by the average number of
preference points a Colorado resident needed to draw a specific
license over a 3-year period that ended with the 2005 drawing.
1. For hunt codes that required a min. of 5 or more points for a
Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, 80 percent of
licenses are allocated to residents and up to 20 percent to nonresidents. These hunts are shown in unit tables by a “+” under
“Permitted Bag.”
2. For hunt codes where the min. was fewer than 5 points for a
Colorado resident to draw an elk or deer license, 65 percent of
licenses go to residents and up to 35 to nonresidents.
3. Nonresident allocations may increase if licenses remain after
drawing all first-choice hunt codes from Colorado residents.
4. License allocations do not apply to private-land-only and
Ranching For Wildlife licenses.
5. Mixed-group applications of residents and nonresidents count
against the nonresident allocation.

1. Any number of people can apply as a group for deer, elk,
bear and pronghorn. Group applications are not allowed for
moose. Members must apply for the same species, unit and
season for each of their choices. If there are discrepancies,
the leader’s hunt code is used. Groups are assigned a number, and if their number is selected in the drawing, everyone
in the group gets a license. This won’t happen if there aren’t
enough licenses for everyone in the group. It also won’t happen if the group includes resident and nonresident applicants
and the nonresident cap has been met.
2. To apply as a group, 1 person must be the leader.
Members must apply using the leader’s CID number. See
“Filling Out Applications.”
3. If everyone in the group is successful for their first choice,
they all get a license and their preference points drop to zero.
If unsuccessful for their first choice, everyone gets a point.
Licenses, refunds and notifications are sent to each person.
4. If anyone in the group makes an application error or
doesn’t pay the correct amount, everyone is disqualified and
won’t get a preference point.

AUCTION AND RAFFLE LICENSES
Special auction and raffle licenses are available for moose, deer,
elk and pronghorn, allowing you to hunt during extended seasons
in any unit open to hunting the specific species. These licenses
are offered by participating wildlife organizations that return at
least 75 percent of the proceeds to the DOW for research,
management and education. For information, go to our website
www.wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/RaffleAuction.

CARCASS TAGS
You must attach a carcass tag to animals you kill per instructions on
tag. Tags must stay on until meat is processed and remain with meat
until consumed. It is illegal to sign or tear the tag before a kill. If
you lose, accidentally destroy or detach the tag, you must get a
duplicate from the DOW before hunting and prove the loss, detachment or destruction was accidental. Do not remove other parts of a
license except the carcass tag after a kill. Doing so voids the
license, and you must buy a duplicate. For CWD testing tags, see

7. For information and units with enrolled properties, see our website starting March 1.

DONATING GAME MEAT
1. Donation certificates are required for game meat donations. Certificates
must show names, addresses and telephone numbers of donor and recipient; donor’s license number; species and amounts donated; date of kill;
donor’s signature. The certificate can be a simple note; no special form
required. It must stay with the meat until completely consumed.
2. A “like license” is a license for the same species, sex, season and
method of take as a donor’s license.
3. Donor and recipient are subject to bag and possession limits.
4. Any amount of processed and packaged game meat can be donated
to anyone, anywhere.
5. You can donate to someone without a “like license”:
a. up to 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, anywhere.

�171, 181, 191, 211, 214, 231, 301, 391, 421, 441, 461, 521, 591,
951. These units are highlighted on the map in this brochure.
Surveillance summaries are posted on our website.

b. more than 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, only at recipient’s home.
6. You can donate to someone with a “like license”:
a. up to 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat, anywhere.
b. more than 20 lbs. of unprocessed meat,anywhere, only if:
(1) recipient’s license is unfilled, and
(2) recipient’s carcass tag is on the meat. This establishes recipient’s
claim to his/her portion of meat and voids his/her license. Donor’s tag must
remain with his/her portion.
(3) If the entire carcass is donated, donor’s carcass tag and recipient’s “like license” must be attached to carcass.

SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS ADVISED
CWD is not likely transmissible to humans, according to state and
federal health experts. However, the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment and the Division of Wildlife
advise hunters to take simple precautions when handling carcasses
of deer, elk and moose killed in units where the disease has been
detected. Do not shoot, handle or consume animals that appear
sick. Wear rubber gloves when field dressing and processing animals. Minimize handling brain, spinal and lymphatic tissues. Wash
your hands and instruments thoroughly after field dressing. Bone
out meat from your animal (following evidence of sex and antlerpoint regulations). Avoid eating brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen,
pancreas, tonsils and lymph nodes. Do not eat meat from CWD
positive animals.

BEARS - INSPECTION AND SEALS
You must personally present bears to the DOW for inspection and sealing within 5 working days after the kill. NEW FOR 2008: Bear heads
and hides must be unfrozen when presented for inspection. At inspection, the DOW is authorized to extract and keep a premolar tooth. If the
head and hide are frozen, the DOW may keep them long enough to
thaw so that a tooth can be removed. A check report must be done at
inspection. No fee required. Seals must be attached to the hide until
tanned. Bears cannot be taken out of Colorado until hide and skull are
inspected and sealed. Having a bear hide without a seal after the 5-day
period is illegal, and the hide becomes state property. Contact the nearest DOW office or officer for inspection and sealing. To transport a bear
or parts to a foreign country, you must first obtain CITES documents.
Contact U.S. Fish &amp; Wildlife Service, (303) 342-7430.

CWD TESTING
1. CWD testing for deer and elk is voluntary and available
statewide. The test cost will be up to $25 per animal when submitted through the DOW. See CWD page on our website in early
August for costs and other details. Test costs may be waived at
DOW submission sites in seasons or units where more samples are
needed.
2. Hunters who harvest moose must submit the head at any CWD
testing site designated for moose within 5 days after harvest.
Hunters must provide harvest information requested at the time of
testing. Antlers and capes can be removed before submitting heads
for testing.

MANDATORY REPORT: MOOSE
All moose hunters (successful or not) must return a completed questionnaire 30 days after the season ends, or they are ineligible for future
moose licenses. Moose also must be submitted for CWD testing.

ACCIDENTAL KILL
Accidental kill is unintentionally killing wildlife not due to carelessness
or negligence. You must report big game accidentally killed to the
DOW before continuing to hunt and as soon as practical. Before contacting the DOW, field dress the animal to avoid spoiling meat. The
DOW evaluates the circumstances, including shots fired, species and
number of animals present, firearms or ammunition, etc. Big game accidentally killed does not count toward annual bag limits.

PREPARING ANIMALS FOR TESTING
Avoid shooting an animal in the head or neck. When removing the
head, leave 1-2 inches below where the neck joins the skull (just
below first vertebrae). Whole brains or other brain pieces are not
acceptable for testing. Check the CWD section of our website for
alternate tissues that may be used for testing. Hunters may want to
learn to collect samples themselves. Keep samples or heads cold
but not frozen. Do not submerge in water. Submit samples or
heads as soon as possible, no more than 5 days after harvest.
Hunters can remove antlers before submitting heads. However,
animals from units with antler-point restrictions must comply with
regulations.

EAR TAGS, RADIO COLLARS
If you shoot big game with a collar or ear tag, report the number,
color, harvest location and date to the DOW and return radio collars.

HARVEST SURVEYS
You may receive a phone call or e-mail, asking you to take part in a harvest survey. Only randomly selected hunters can participate. Surveys are
important in helping the DOW set hunting seasons. You will be asked
basic information, such as where you hunted and when. If you are contacted, you can do the survey online, www.cdowsurvey.com or call
1-866-825-0045. The survey runs 24 hours daily, Oct. through mid-Feb.
See our website for more information.

SUBMITTING ANIMALS FOR TESTING
You can take heads or tissue samples to a DOW submission site or
a participating veterinarian. You also must bring the CWD testing
tag provided with the license or your license so that DOW can
scan the bar code and obtain your address and phone number. You
will be asked for kill site coordinates or to show it on a map at the
submission site, along with the unit and date of harvest. If someone else submits your animal, he/she must bring the CWD testing
tag, but you should keep your license. Submitters should bring the
same information listed above. See CWD page on our website in
early August for submission sites, hours and other details.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) affects deer, elk, and moose. It
occurs in free-ranging deer, elk and moose in parts of Colorado, as
well as several other states and provinces. Infected animals show
no apparent signs of illness throughout much of the disease course.
In terminal stages of CWD, animals appear emaciated and often
display abnormal behavior. In Colorado, distribution and prevalence of CWD vary. Infection rates appear higher in males and
older animals. As a result of testing deer, elk and moose that
appeared sick ("suspects") or were killed by hunters or vehicles,
CWD was detected in units 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 36, 37, 38, 51,
59, 84, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 102, 109, 131, 161,

TEST RESULTS
All samples are sent to Colorado State University's Veterinary
Diagnostic Laboratory. Testing is for CWD screening only and
does not assure the absolute safety of meat for human consumption. Testing accuracy and sensitivity vary, depending on sample
type and quality. No test can assure complete accuracy, and "not
detected" results don't exclude the possibility of early stage CWD.
Test results are provided by automated phone system, 1-800-4340274, on our website or by calling (303) 297-1192. Tests are completed as soon as possible. The goal is to provide results within 10-

10

�15 working days, subject to volume and laboratory backlog.
Suspected positive results are confirmed by a second test, which
takes 7-10 more working days. Because moose samples are tested
differently than deer and elk, their initial results may not be available for 15-20 working days or more. In addition, hunters whose
animals test positive are contacted by the DOW. If you don’t get
test results more than three weeks (15 working days) after submission, call a DOW office.

CERTIFIED HAY
Hay, straw and mulch are illegal on federal land and DOW
property unless certified free of noxious weeds. Hay must be
clearly marked by certifying agency. People who transport
these materials on public roads crossing DOW property are
exempt. For a list of weed-free forage, contact Colorado
Dept. of Agriculture, (303) 239-4149; Forest Service or
BLM; or go to www.ag.state.co.us/DPI/WeedFreeForage/weedfree.html.

LICENSE FEE AND OTHER REFUNDS
Hunters whose deer, elk or moose test positive for CWD are eligible for a license fee refund or an antlerless license. If the hunting
season has ended or there’s not a reasonable amount of time left in
the current season, the DOW may issue an antlerless license for
the next year’s hunting season in the same game management unit
where the animal was killed. If antlerless hunting isn’t offered in
that unit, the DOW can designate a substitute unit. If the original
license was for a season that closed before Oct. 31, the replacement license will be valid until Oct. 31. When paid, costs for processing CWD positive animals also are refunded. Requests for
reimbursements must be made on DOW forms and accompanied
by receipts. Reimbursements up to $50 for processing allowed
without receipts. Reimbursements for deer and elk are limited to
$100 per animal for private processing or $200 per animal for
commercial processing. The maximum allowed for commercial
processing of moose is $250.

TIPs PROGRAM
TIPs rewards people who voluntarily provide information resulting in charging poachers. Awards can be a preference point for
species of choice or unlimited license for the species reported.
Some limited licenses also may be available. TIPs licenses do
not count toward annual bag and possession limits.

GUIDE TO UNIT TABLES
COMBINED UNITS
Please read the unit tables carefully. Some licenses are valid one
unit only while others are valid
in multiple units. There are two
different ways this is shown in
the unit tables.
Example 1
All rifle elk licenses for unit 7
are also valid in unit 8. In this
circumstance, the sentence,
“License valid in units 7, 8”
appears in bold type at the bottom of the table for unit 7. Unit 8
reads “See UNIT 7.”
Example 2
Not all licenses in unit 44 are
valid in other units. Instead, only
some of unit 44 hunt codes
include other units. In this situation, the table indicates within
specific seasons where the hunt
code is valid. In unit 44, the separate rifle season license lists
units 44, 45, 47 and 444 where
you can hunt with this license.
However, in the three combined
seasons and the rifle early season, no other units are listed.
That means these licenses only
are valid in unit 44.

*Trinchera Ranch, 20% of cow licenses are awarded in a
separate public drawing. Applications accepted 9 a.m. to noon,
2nd Wed. in August at San Luis Community Center, San Luis,
CO. Drawing at 1 p.m. Hunters must apply in person. Only
Colorado residents may apply. Do not buy a license before the
drawing.

ELK HUNTERS:BE AWAREOFYOURTARGET!
Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado.
Make sure you know the difference between these two species, so you
don’t accidentally kill a moose. Use your binoculars, not scopes. Don’t
just look at the animal’s antlers; study the entire head before you shoot.

GUIDE TO LEGAL HUNTING HOURS
The table below is for Denver. Subtract 1 minute from opening and closing time for each 12 1/2
miles east of Denver. Add 1 minute to opening and closing time for each 12 1/2 miles west of
Denver. The above changes assume that each degree of longitude equals 50 miles and a change of
1 degree of longitude equals a 4-minute change in sunrise and sunset times.

ATTENTION
BIG GAME HUNTERS!
The Division of Wildlife has released Canada lynx in southwest Colorado. If you see
a lynx, please report it to any DOW office. If you are bobcat hunting, please make
sure you don’t shoot at a lynx. Lynx are different from bobcats in several ways:
*The tip of a lynx’s tail is black all around. On a bobcat, the underside of the tip of its
tail is white.
*The ear tufts of a lynx are more than 1 inch long.
*The fur on a lynx’s belly is tawny colored. On a bobcat, it is white.
*Lynx tracks are 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches wide. A bobcat’s are less than 2 1/2 inches
wide.
