I didn't single out a state. This thread is specifically about CO. Any state that does it is in the wrong. Making it a prerequisite to purchase a license that the purchaser may have no interest in using in an effort to increase license sales is absolutely manipulating the system. The PR act uses total licensed hunters in its calculation and now you are licensing people that may never set foot in the state during the calendar year. There's a reason they did it the way they did and didn't just up the application fee or preference point fee.
