I guess my reading comprehension isn't too good. So as an Ohio resident, I have to pay $89 for a small game license, that I will not use, to have the honor of just APPLYING for the honor of getting drawn for an elk tag??!! WTH!
My only thought is this is to limit the numbers of applicants since changing the application process last year where you didn't have to put up the $$$ at application time. I love CO, but other states have elk and I'm going to have to start researching elsewhere.
Yes, same as half the west. Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Arizona all have similar set ups. Or $14 applications with $50 preference point fees and "special" prices in Wyoming if you prefer. Colorado isn't the only game in town, but others done similar for years. Good luck
