This info came from the Gunnison CPW office, it would be a weird thing to just make up IMO?Seems like a huge jump, but with woofs on the horizon, and “burn yer points” newberg calling for it who knows?
No I agree that is just a chit ton of applicants, damn our states popularity…This info came from the Gunnison CPW office, it would be a weird thing to just make up IMO?
Same group…..Colorado most use that same online system the democrats use to vote with.
Where are all these people when we need to fight to protect the animals we love?
If those 35k are non-residents, they just contributed over $4 million dollars to the CPWD buying a small game license, habitat stamp, and cost to apply for a single species.Where are all these people when we need to fight to protect the animals we love?
YepIs it too late to get a point for this year?
You can turn your trash back in and get your points back!Is it too late to get a point for this year?
No, I'm taking about the Deer and Elk.You mean the Wolves?
From what I’ve seen in most of their reports, it looks like individual transactions count as applicants. For all I know they count ATV renewals as applicants now. I’m sure they have much more complete data for internal use though.So if a person put in for 5 species for the first time, would that count for 1 or 5 “applicants”?

Sounds awesome in theory, but I don’t think CPW, at least the commission, is our friend. This is just more glut for them to say how they can’t regulate herds properly, since they need more money, it’s always more money. Funny how we aren’t getting more habitat or access out of this. I think the only redeeming thing polis has done is open up some STL’s, but with tons of money should be buying up habitat for animals…If those 35k are non-residents, they just contributed over $4 million dollars to the CPWD buying a small game license, habitat stamp, and cost to apply for a single species.
I just spoke with a hunt planner and he confirmed the increase and said the exact number was 35,434 new applications this year. I'm looking a lot harder at my plan B!I'm just gonna say it's probably 3500 more applicants ?
Most people have no idea how it even works. Heck look how many threads are on here of guys asking if they can still by points for Colorado this yearI cant believe how many "new" applicants keep buying into these point systems given the reality of when they might actually draw a tag.
Snuck the old wife in a class but I signed her up last November… she was pissed; she hunted in AZ before, and thought it was silly that she had to do this for Co, she did say 90% of the class was kids and a few adults thereHad some people I work with (transplants) that want to start hunting and need a hunter safety card. All of the classes in
CO Springs and Pueblo were 100% booked in Feb. and March.

This! PPs in CO still get you in the woods in short order. Wy, 4-5 years for a general! It’s obvious why we’re seeing the increase.Could be the result of the new Wyoming Regs, 90% Res to 10% non-res I believe. People might be realizing that drawing a Wyoming tag is a dead end so they are applying in Colorado.

Our winter was no easier. Look at the tag cuts occurring in the Northwest cornerWyoming, Idaho, Montana and Utah had rough winters or down numbers. I think a lot of folks decided to try to burn their deer and elk points in Colorado this year.
That last bit is particularly off "Wolves and cougars are a hunter's best friend"Interesting Article from the Denver Post. Good info why applications have increased, but way off base on everything else.
