Why?I would rather see landowner tags handed back over to the res/nonres draw that all hunters have the opportunity to draw than drop nonres quotas (this coming from a Colo resident!).
Colorado continues to be the most nonres-friendly state in the Western US. I'm pretty proud of that fact!
I’d reckon the lions share of LO tags end up in non res hands via private sales and guiding… just sayingI would rather see landowner tags handed back over to the res/nonres draw that all hunters have the opportunity to draw than drop nonres quotas (this coming from a Colo resident!).

75/25 will not go into effect until 2024.New ratios effective this year?
Not correct....the LO allocation has nothing to do with the NR split. As mentioned above, CPW takes the LO tags off the top as a percentage of the total quota for the hunt code in question, before the public draw occurs. What's left of the quota for that hunt code is then subject to the NR/RES split.I could be wrong but don't believe I am, but believe the landowner pool of tags came from the non resident allocation side of the tags, in the beginning, which is fine, just wish they couldn't sell them, all it did was muddy the water, we should a post on how much people are willing to pay for these tags ,, and if a landowner can sell it then so should I be able to,,,, right
Hmm. I was thinking that even some of our OTC units down here have another half dozen or so private land only seasons that extend WELL after the regular 4.For LO tags, say a unit has 100 buck tags 3rd season allocated. Automatically 20% or 20 tags go to the LO vouchers. Then the remaining 80 tags are divide up say 80/20. You could assume that most vouchers are bought by non residents. So in reality non residents are still getting between 20% and 40% of tags actually allocated.
LO tag allocation is written law and would be hard to change like getting trapping back.
LO tags only happen in units that draw tags. So all units have LO tags for deer. The OTC elk units do not.
Nope that is correct, typically those will be antlerless only tags but good from Sept thru Jan with a rifleHmm. I was thinking that even some of our OTC units down here have another half dozen or so private land only seasons that extend WELL after the regular 4.
It seems like the elk seasons last from Sept through January. It might be my jaundiced imagination though.

Probably true for higher demand LO tags but I bet those lower demand ones go the other way more towards the resident side and there are probably more of those ones. I am sure that data is out there somewhere.I’d reckon the lions share of LO tags end up in non res hands via private sales and guiding… just saying
There is a difference, PLO are only for private land while vouchers are unit wide tags that get issued to land owners via a separate draw and there is some kind of system weighted on size of land holding I think….Aren't Private Land Only tags different from LO Vouchers?
I thought PLO were issued through the draw and LO Vouchers were issued directly to the LO or their agent.
Interesting results thanks for sharingInteresting Read of the Survey Results.
Right? Like no we don’t want OTC tags anymore? Haha we are the defacto spot for everyone and I mean everyone these daysNot being a jerk but I do wonder why they invited Non-residents to take this survey especially the portions pertaining to tag allocations. What kind of results did they expect from our out of state friends?
