Draw Process Working Group Updates
At the May 2023 Parks and Wildlife Commission Meeting, the Commission requested Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) staff to form a Draw Process Working Group to analyze the agency’s current hunting draw rules and processes in order to identify ways to reduce complexities and find new solutions/alternatives to fix some of the preference point and other draw-related issues.
CPW received over 175 applications from the public for the Working Group, and had a very competitive and impressive candidate pool. CPW selected
eight public members for the Draw Process Working Group. These members of the public represent a broad range of interests in hunting management and big game conservation, and are a diverse and inclusive group of hunters and outfitters from various backgrounds, perspectives, and geographic regions in Colorado.
We kicked off our Draw Process Working Group meetings a few weeks ago to discuss the shared vision for the process and select the
workshop topics to be addressed by the group.
Work sessions and Commission workshops will be spread out throughout the calendar year 2024, with one meeting taking place almost every month. We will alternate months with a work session one month, followed by the Commission workshop on that topic the following month. All Draw Process Working Group meetings will be livestreamed on the
CPW YouTube Channel.
If you are interested in sharing your thoughts on the process, leave a comment using our guestbook tool on the main
Draw Process Working Group page. Draw Process Working Group members will be able to review and consider these comments throughout the process.
