CPW seeks public feedback as it mulls changes to distributing big game licenses

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking feedback from hunters as the agency considers changes to policies and regulations governing the way it doles out big game licenses.

According to a release, the big game license distribution topics CPW is examining are resident and nonresident elk and deer license allocation, preference points, weighted points and over-the-counter elk licenses.

Those interested in weighing in can do so here by mid-November, or in stakeholder workshops and public meetings CPW intends to hold in May and June of next year. The agency in March and April 2022 also intends to conduct a survey of hunters “to assess their perspectives” and hold focus groups “to help inform the development of alternative strategies.”

That feedback is set to come ahead of a period between September and November 2022 when CPW will begin to consider policy changes.
