2020 Big Game Regs Book

[fallguy]

OK, I am impatient, I admit it. Anyone have any intel as to when the BG regs info will either be posted online or received in the mail? Last year I got hardcopy in the mail on Feb 13 and it the online version was posted on Feb 14.

 

[DW]

Most likely the same time as last year.

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

I'm guessing it will be a little later this year with the late changes to the SW units going draw instead of OTC this year

 

[COLOelkman]

I have a copy that I picked up at a CPW meeting in Jan. If you have a specific ?, I'd be glad to look it up. The doc is a hard copy and is 230 pages so can't post it.

Here's the first draft info:

Did the deer application opening date change? I feel like I applied by this time last year

 

[coloradoman]

Always the first Tuesday of April

 

[WiscoKid]

Yeah that's the deadline, but is it open now for colorado mule deer?

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

no big game applications are not open yet

 

[DW]

Guys started getting the sheep and goat regs in the mail today.

 

[Bluehair]

Start applying March 1, deadline April 7.

 

[fallguy]

Got my sheep and goat regs in mail today. Gotta be close on Big Game regs

 

[fallguy]

Got the hardcopy in today's mail.

I'd heard they are changing the leftover draw process so anxious to read the new process! Sounds like they'll have a 2nd drawing instead of getting tags via the internet or local lisc dealers. So that would generate more income via application fees but the counter might be that the new system would be more fair to everyone. ie. Don't have to be 1st in line at a lisc agent or have high speed internet.

You can download it now.

Continued change. Every year with CPW, never ending. Crazy how much they keep changing the system.

 

[Founder]

Not a huge change.

 

[COLOelkman]

Isn't the main change now is that they'll collect another app fee whereas before via the leftover process there was no fee? At least I don't recall having an app fee with the old process. Overall, this might be considered more fair in that everyone that wants a chance at the 2nd go-round will not have to be first inline or have a high speed computer connection to get a more desirable tag? So good for some people I guess and more $ for CPW!

If you want to see the changes coming this year and in future years with the secondary draw I suggest watching this 10-minute presentation from the November Commission meeting.

 

[Bluehair]

I'll bet Walmart wishes they could get $7 for every license they sold.

there will still be leftover day in early August. The 2nd draw replaces the leftover draw. With most of the re-issued tags available on leftover day I don't think this changes much of anything.

 

[SureShot]

Wrong link oak?

The part he's referring to starts at about 7h 18m into the video.

 

[ColoradoOak]

Wrong link oak?

Nope, works for me. It's a 7+ hour video that should start at the point where the 10 minute presentation begins.

Except there will be re-issued tags in the 2nd draw

 

[brushcreek]

only those not paid for correct? I wonder how many that will be. my guess is not many. most turned in tags come later in the summer

 

[DW]

Not the way I read it orion.

 

[DW]

Thanx!

Doesn't sound like this year by oaks video, but possibly in future years.

 

[Magicman]

What's up? My online is showing Friday the 9th for the 1st rifle Bull opener and Friday the 23rd for the 2nd rifle Bull opener??

OK I was looking at page 4 and it was worded kinda screwy. That apparently is the cutoff date. Page 34 shows the 10th and the 24th as the opening dates.

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

Doesn't sound like this year by oaks video, but possibly in future years.

I guess I shouldn't have said reissued, but the non paid for tags will be on there.

 

[DW]

The app process for the second draw begins the 5th of June and the payment deadline for the first draw is June 19th so it isn't possible this year. But what I gather from oaks video, they will try to change those dates next year to enable them to put those unpaid for tags of the first draw, into the second draw. At least that was my interpretation.

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

I wouldn't be surprised if an unpaid ewe tag or goat tag was on the 2nd draw. Or even a returned ewe or nanny tag.
