Mount Marlon would have been better

Thill, I sent you a PM. Respond if you still need the list

Who authored the survey?

I just wonder if Utah or Wyoming would allow a draw (that includes premium tags) that gives preference to out of state youth over residents of any age?

I checked into the history of the "secondary Draw" on the CPAW website by looking at past commissioner meeting agendas and minutes. The secondary draw was approved by vote during the January 9-10, 2019 meeting. https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Commission/2019/January/Minutes.pdf After...

No Mas, I threw money at the last two years even though I new it was a youth preference draw. CPAW sure advertises it as if you got a chance. They know exactly what this draw is, why don't they just call it a youth draw.

First album I owned. Released in 1971.

Several years ago I was looking into a RFW hunt, so I got familiar with the info available. I even sent an e-mail to the CPAW requesting RFW hunter satisfaction survey results (which they actually provided). I never did apply for a RFW tag but I learned a lot.

The following links provide how many Tags were allocated to each RFW participant for the 2022 hunting period. They say that the 2023 numbers will be posted in May but from my experience it's usually later. https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Hunting/BigGame/Ranching/ElkSeasons_LicsRFW.pdf...

That is a great question! If I had to guess I'd pick NO.

Not 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?

Thanks Thill

Can anyone provide a link to the actual CPW approval to the 80/20 & 75/25 ratios? I can find the 75/25% ratios proposed at the May Commission meeting but not sure if that was approved. Cannot find anything about the 80/20 ratio for high PP units. Thanks

Typically CPW will present their recommendations for tag allocations for each hunt code at their early May Commissioners meeting. Here is a link: (the agenda has not been completed yet). https://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/CommissionMeeting2023-5.aspx Once the agenda has been completed...

When will Bud light sell for $5/12-pack? Asking for a friend

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.

Ten years from now the only posts on the Colorado site will be questions about what is the best mountain bike to out run a wolf pack. :(

I think that whatever the survey results are the CPAW will approve point banking. $$ they can sell multiple tags to someone instead of a single tag. Revenue seems to be the driver in all their decisions.

Tag numbers are finalized by the Commission during one of their spring meetings. Last year it was during the May 4-5 meeting. My guess is that the final tag numbers will be approved during the May 3-4 meeting this year. No idea what they will look like. Link to Commission meetings...

I just have a hard time believing CPAW is concerned about money after getting legislation passed to charge $29 for each vehicle license plate renewal (for a state park pass) starting in 2023. I guess people can opt out but most won't bother due to the complications. Some early numbers project...

Handsome Buck, thanks Fred

Just think how many grouse you could get with a speedy e-bike compared to your atv. Ha Ha, inside joke..

Used to bow hunt with our camp set above 10,000 feet. Freaky when the lighting and thunder occur at the exact same time. I remember once I ran from the wall tent with aluminum poles and buried my self in the dirt in a small patch of trees nearby.

Fred, I've always heard that you shouldn't hunt over a muddy pond when there's a rainbow in the sky. Elk hunting 101. Congrats to your nephew. I'm sure you pointed him in the right direction.

The tags I got this year through the re-issue process were not available to put into my cart until several minutes after 11:00. Not high end tags. I'm wondering if anyone got a quality tag in their cart several minutes past the start time?

The following link will take you to a memo presented at the Sept. 8/9 CPW Commission meeting. Pay attention to the "Staff Preferred Alternatives"...

I don't like this idea either and it won't put even a dent in the PP issues.

I was able to get a re-issued buck tag in my elk unit today. Not a premium tag for sure but it's nice to have. 2 tags available for this hunt code. A little strange, I started entering the code around 10:55, got to the screen to add it to my cart at 11:06, but then after adding it to my cart...

I was able to pick up a re-issued cow elk tag. I believe it was around 11:03 before the site allowed me to proceed and add it to my cart. Tried multiple times before 11:00 but the site kept saying the tag was not available on the leftover list

I get a little confused by the info CPW puts out on their web site. The info posted late last week said sign in after 8:00 am and you be put in the queue but don't go past the resident page until 9:00. "CPW’s licensing vendor Aspira utilizes a virtual queuing program, called Queue-It, to...

Per the CPW site, today's list of tags that go on sale August 2nd should include the following: Limited licenses leftover after the primary and secondary draws for elk, deer, pronghorn and bear Limited elk, deer, pronghorn, and bear licenses that someone drew but did not pay for during the...

I was thinking about applying for a secondary draw 2nd season buck tag in the unit I elk hunt. Glad I didn't all 14 available tags went to youth and it's a crappy deer unit.

Best of luck to you Mr. Watson, my elementary observation is that you've revived a post that's over 10 years old. Maybe someone can provide you some updated info.

My reading comprehension is pretty good, trust me. How about the mass mailing e-mail sent by the CPAW a couple of days ago: Apply For The Secondary Big Game Draw! Most elk, deer, pronghorn and bear licenses not issued through the primary draw are available in the secondary draw, which is open...

I don't mind that CPAW has a youth draw but they should market it like that and only allow youth to apply, otherwise it seems pretty shady collecting application money for a bunch of tags that have very little chance of being drawn by anyone other than youth.

Jerry, you've been gathering Info & threatening to hunt for several years now. Just Do It!
