They were charging 1/2 price for cow tags a few years ago saying they wanted more cows shot to reduce herd sizes, now they are saying they need to build some areas back up. Colorado big game management principles are based on how much money they can take in, not what is good for the elk herd. If you don't believe this, read the last few pages of any 5 year big game management document.
Even before the last price increase for 2019, where in addition you had to by a small game license before you could even apply for any big game, Colorado CPW took in more money than any other two western states combined.
