Much of what Colorado hunting has become is due to marketing by not only CPW, but tourism industries, gear and clothing industries, guides and outfitters, and social media. Hunters are not in it for sport and meat as much as they are in it for recognition and peer affirmation. Hence the well-moneyed Hunter-Poseurs and the relegation of the Regulatory Agency to a tax and fee collector.
They are selling tags to hunt elk that they admit can't be counted.
