OK, I bite, what's going to be the new season structure next year?
Nobody knows right now..........but there will be changes. Still hoping for the archery elk season to be Sep1-Sep30 every year.

I've given the state of Colorado more of my money in the past 4 years than 10 residents combined.
LOL I saw that one coming. Figure out what % of your taxes go to CPW and get back to me.I was unaware that you pay taxes in Colorado.
Today, less than 1 percent of CPW's money comes from the general fund, down from about a third in 2010. More than half the agency's funds come from park entrance passes and camping, registration and hunters' and anglers' license fees.
I think you guys are confusing yourselves - Its really not that difficult to understand
1- If you apply for ANYTHING [PP or Tag] you will need a qualifying license. Period
2- You will be charged a APP FEE of $7 Res / $9 NR. Period
3- The $10 Habitat Stamp will be added to your Qualifying license [Regs Pg. 3 right side of page] . Period
4- If you apply for a one of the Big 3, You will be also charged a PP/WP Fee of $50 Res /$100 NR - with the option to opt out
5- You do NOT need a qualifying license if you buy an OTC tag. Period
Well I'm definitely out of the pp game, wasn't really for me anyway, I'll just continue to go yearly on otc tags.

This will help:

FWIW, I wish I was paying CO taxes and not TX, but I'll get there to help you out soon enough.
(and there is an elevator to success. It's called inheritance )
You're right. I mean CPW. My bad. And yes, it's the same here in TX.You said the state of CO, not CPW.
Almost every nonresident pays more than the resident in most, if not all states.
Unlike some that post on this thread, I dont mind sending $$$ to several State Game&Fish agencies each year knowing that I may not draw a tag, go fishing, or hunt small game.
One thing I do know is that these dollars are going to help support/manage fish&wildlife, and without them I wouldnt be able to do that.
I hope you thank them every year.NonRes are not an issue for me, in fact I archery hunt elk with 3 NR each year.
Im out
that will only work this year. Starting in 2020, they are going to start doing a secondary draw. This draw will occur in July and will include any tag that wasn't sold or that wasn't payed for. They are doing this for a number of reasons which they state in the following Commission Meeting PDF. I imagine most tags of worth will be taken in the secondary drawing with few making their way to the leftover list.
We the people are not privy on the details yet but it sounds like we are headed for more draw and less OTC, especially during the archery season. There is an effort to help address hunter overcrowding in certain areas and times of year. There is a lot of outcry from residents in general about the flood of non-residents during certain seasons.OK, I bite, what's going to be the new season structure next year?
I see it differently. It's the government of Colorado's job to take care of it's wildlife and it's citizens. It's not a perfect world or perfect system but they are obligated to cater to the resident.Nope, not confused. They could have made that available if they had wanted to. States make exceptions to the rules all the time, every year.
They are free to do what they want as am I. If they want NR $ then they won't make too many mistakes. I've given the state of Colorado more of my money in the past 4 years than 10 residents combined.
Although it may be a hard pill to swallow for lifelong CO residents, those same residents enjoy a lot of benefits year-round that are brought to them courtesy of NR dollars. And the NR's only see those benefits for the brief time they are in-state.
I'm late to the thread, but after reading some of the comments about buying a leftover tag to avoid having to buy a hunting/fishing license I figured some people might be interested to know that will only work this year. Starting in 2020, they are going to start doing a secondary draw. This draw will occur in July and will include any tag that wasn't sold or that wasn't payed for. They are doing this for a number of reasons which they state in the following Commission Meeting PDF.
