Colorado NR elk license prices have gone from ridiculous to absurd. I suppose CO can raise prices every year since they are linked to the Denver CPI percentage increase. Bidenflation rolling up prices this year and more next year I’m sure.
Mule deer numbers are down big time where we hunt in unit 13 to the point where I don’t think I’ll apply for a deer license this year. I haven’t seen a shooter buck in several seasons, neither has Sako76. I saw a couple of nice bucks at a processor last year but could have come from a ways away. Debating the future of trips to Colorado…
Most of the bigger bucks are coming out of eastern Colorado, but it is almost all private land.There are some big bucks west I-25, but they come hard. I see bigger bucks my yard almost every week. No way would I pay $456 + Habitat Stamp and Qualifying License as a Nonresident to hunt deer in Colorado.
