I might be wrong but you must apply but if you apply for PP only, They'll charge your card $79.00. The $3 app fee and $20 point fee will not be refunded. You'll see the rest back in mid-late june.

I just applied for bonus point only. The charge was $79.00 (refund for some of it). I remember last year I had to pay the entire $300 and some odd dollars just for a bonus point up front and then most was refunded. changes this year?

 

[thepenquin]

Unless I'm reading the booklet wrong, it shows that the entire tag fee must be submitted just for a point draw?

I've heard guys paying the $300 plus fee and guys saying they paid like $79 fee? I must be missing something?

Yes 76 .00 to apply plus $3.00 application fee.Then you get $51.00 returned towards the end of June.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-28-08 AT 06:46PM (MST)[p]I guess I'm bothered by this because I can't find it anywhere. I have the booklet open and it says the whole tag amount is required even if applying for points only.I will be submitting the full amount anyways but I've been in an argument with a guy who wants a point only. Trying to look out for him I showed him in the booklet but he still says no? And people on this site say $79.Wouldn't CO post the change somewhere online about it if that was the case? I can't find it. Hope he doesn't get screwed out of a point is all.

Rem308, you get everything back but the $3.00 if you had a license previous year. Thats any license. So for example, last year I had a deer tag. This year I don't have to pay the PP fee for either deer or elk. Gonna draw elk this year (Probably) so next year when I apply PP for both, no PP fee.

Penquin, Regs talk about residents paying only for reduced price doe tag for PP only. Thats how elk works, only pay cow tag price plus $3.00. I did it online and it automatically came up to $79.00 based on my application didn't have a buck tag as a second choice. I VERY comfortable I'll get a point, Don't worry.

Thanks guys for the replies. I just did it online and it was $79. I hope I did everything right.

Ya did everything right and you will get your point. A special doe hunt was included this year where the non res tag only costs $79. When you apply for the point only, CDOW charges the lowest tag amount. ($250+ for non res cow elk and $79 special doe hunt for deer)

If you purchased any big game tag last year, you will not be charged the $25 point application fee. If this is the first time you have applied for a big game license, then the CDOW will deduct a $25 point app fee plus the $3 big game app fee and return the rest in June sometime.

Hope this helps. Its been a real topic of discussion this year.

I am not sure that is correct. Quoting from the Colorado regulations, page 3, item 2.b under Preference Points.

"Unsuccessful applicants and those who apply for a point will be assessed a $25 fee per species unless they have purchased 1 of the following:

a....

b. A big game license in the previous year or a current limited license for the same species for which they are seeking a point."

Depending on how you read that, and the DOW provided no punctuation to help us figure it out, it could mean that you are only covered for the species for which you purchased a license in the previous year, not all species.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-01-08 AT 03:24PM (MST)[p]To me it sounds like the fee is waived if you had any big game license last year, or buy a license for the same species for this year, i.e. you draw a second choice tag for deer or elk with a PP as your 1st choice. That's the only logical way I can read it.

 

[TennVol]

The way I understand it is you had to have had a license for each species you are requesting a pref point for. No license last year = $25 fee this year.

Any prior big game license eliminates the $25 fee. I started my deer point accumulation last year and expected to get hit with the fee, but because I had an elk tag the previous year, CDOW did not charge me the $25 fee. I received a refund for everything except the $3 app fee.

Hope this helps
