Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Colorado Big Game Draw Starts Today

Should get my archery Deer, Over The Counter archery either sex Elk and will probably will put in for leftover archery Bear. At 69 years young hope I can get a couple more years archery hunting Colorado. Tom

Waiting for the cc hit! Should draw bear and deer. If I'm lucky I'll get a muzzleloader elk tag as well.

I was looking at the CPW licensing site and noticed that all my preference point additions and takeaways were posted mid May each year. So the drawing has likely been done and just not posted. No back door to find out if you drew in advance anymore. Happy Trails

Just got hit for moose preference point fee

People are getting hit for moose now.

Got hit for a moose point as well. 16 weighted points and counting......

Today must be revenue day charging cards for beaucoup points! LOL

Yeah, the state needs to make that money.

Yep, and I’m ok with that!

It's what's needed to make it all work.

Good luck gents!

Colorado game and parks makes as much as any 2 western states combined, before this pp fee nonsense started. Do you really believe they needed more money?

C’mon man we’re in the slightly eastern version of California, there’s always a way to waste/spend money in liberal utopia. I’m still trying to figure out where all the money they charge us for vehicle registrations and marijuana tax goes, cuz the roads suck azz and the schools are all hurting for money!

Yeah, the roads suck and the schools haven't seen any revenue coming in, but there sure are a lot of cats walking around with huge wads in their pockets.

If you look at historical budgets of the Division of Wildlife before it merged with Parks, you'll see that Colorado was right on par with Montana and Wyoming, with less expensive tags.

Fact is, we have many more resident and non-resident hunters than either one of those states.

Yep, they shouldn't be able to keep that money, they should fork it over to the state. Right?

Smokepole you might want to look up national hunting license data on the usfws site. Colorado makes more than any 2 western states combined.

Look up the prices Colorado charges for NR licenses. The reason they pull in more license revenue isn't the cost of licenses, it's the number of licenses sold.

I never said anything about the cost of a license. What I said was Colorado makes as much as any two western states combined.

Good.... they should! It’s a great state to hunt in, and there a schitt-ton of public land/access. There’s quality critters in almost every unit in the state... and if you’re willing to ride some boot leather.... there’s not a lot of hunting pressure.

Don’t like it.... don’t hunt here.... seems pretty simple.
