COLORADO — Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking and taking input from big game hunters on the 2025-2029 Big Game Season Structure.
CPW is seeking information from resident and nonresident big game hunters to discuss topics that CPW is looking at changing or implementing in the 2025-2029 big game seasons.
Discussion with hunters and the public is optimal in determining what, when, and where types of big game hunting are available and how opportunities are divided amongst hunters.
The process of these discussions better allows CPW to manage healthy wildlife populations while also providing fun recreational benefits to hunting and non-hunting outdoor goers.
The comment form will be live until March 15th, 2023.
BGSS topics being considered:
- Alternatives regarding over-the-counter archery and rifle elk licenses
- Alternatives for rifle season date structures for deer and elk
- Adding rifle deer opportunities to the first regular rifle season
- Adding a second regular rifle buck and doe pronghorn season
- Early season (archery and muzzleloader) date structures
- Current weighted-point draw system for bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and moose
The issues above are not final decisions by Colorado Parks and Wildlife but topics of discussion as starting points.
