Look for tips and stats about your GMU in regional hunt guides published each July.
5. Some GMUs require that you have preference points to draw
a license. Research the prefer-ence points needed to apply for limited licenses before the early April application deadline. Learn the basics of preference points here.
6. Applying online is best but if you miss the deadline or don't draw, consider buying an Over-the-Counter, Over-the-Counter with Caps or Leftover license which do not require an application. Colorado is the only state that
offers an unlimited quantity of over-the-counter (OTC) elk li-censes for two rifle seasons. These licenses cover about 50 percent of the GMU's and don't limit your hunt to one unit. They are a great general license op-tion and don't require prefer-ence points. The list of OTC li-censes is posted online. OTC and leftover licenses go on sale in early August each year.
Colorado's hunting regulations can seem complicated at first. The methods used to manage harvest of big game populations allow us to have the most robust and abundant populations of big game in the world. Use the resources above and follow the steps below. We want your Colorado hunting experience to be successful and enjoyable. 1. Colorado offers a variety licens-
es. See the big game license op-tions and the drawing process page in the Big Game Hunting regulations.
2. Decide which big game species you intend to hunt: elk, deer, bear, pronghorn or moose.
3. Decide your method of take: Ar-chery, muzzleloader or rifle? The method of take affects your sea-son dates. Each season offers different benefits:
Archery season is the longest, running from late August through September. The weather is generally milder.
The elk rut typically occurs during archery season. Either sex deer and elk licenses are available through the draw process. Either-sex elk and pronghorn licenses are availa-ble over-the-counter.
Muzzleloader season is one week in mid-September. It is generally around the elk rut. Muzzleloader licenses are all limited draw licenses.
First Rifle Season is fully lim-ited and elk only, so this sea-son offers the least crowded hunting option for hunters.
Second and Third Rifle Seasons have elk and deer draw licens-es and offer over-the-counter elk licenses. The availability of over-the-counter elk licenses makes second and third rifle an easy option for hunters who missed the draw, didn't draw, are saving preference points, or are just looking for a no-fuss hunting opportunity that al-
lows you to "buy and license and go hunt" in more than 90 GMUs.
Fourth Rifle Season is in mid-November and is limited draw for deer and elk. The winter weather has set in so there are fewer hunters in the field but the animals are generally con-centrated and moving toward winter range so they're often easier to locate.
4. Select your hunt location. We refer to hunt locations as "Game Management Units" (GMU's).
Some GMU’s have special regu-lations - see the big game bro-chure.
If hunting public land will you be on Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or state land? Each land management agency has differ-ent rules for things like camp-ing and off-road travel so you'll want to check with the appro-priate agency.
