Draw Process Working Group
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. The purpose of the Draw Process Working Group is 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. The Draw Process Working Group will also focus on addressing the biological and sociological concerns related to Colorado’s limited license draws.
The Draw Process Working Group, representing a broad range of interests in hunting management and game conservation, will:
- Provide input on the current draw rules and processes,
- Brainstorm ways to reduce complexities in the current system
- Formulate potential solutions and alternatives to address issues with the current system
The topics to be covered during the Draw Process Working Group work sessions include:
- Primary Draw/Draw Methods
- Preference Points
- Weighted Draw and Weighted Preference Points
- Reissue Process
All Draw Process Working Group meetings will be livestreamed on the CPW YouTube Channel. For more information on these meetings, contact dnr_cpw_planning@state.co.us.

Given that a major objective of the Draw Process Working Group is simplification, then one of the focus items should be on simplifying the “spider web” of rules, regulations, preferences, opportunities, options etc, etc, related to Youth Hunting. Reading from top-to-bottom the Youth Hunting page 17 in the (2023) brochure leaves the reader with their “head spinning” trying to figure out how to fit something together, make it all work right and not make a mistake in doing so. Youth certainly should have preference but it shouldn’t be so hard to figure out. Right now it’s like trying to solve a Rubiks Cube.

Having just moved out of state after being a resident of Colorado for 40 years, Limited licenses should be 90/10 for at least all male licenses and whatever is decided on female licenses is fine with me. Paying $800 to hut a cow elk is ridiculous. I won't be hunting CO anytime soon based on the poor state of the herds.

Either eliminate NR OTC tags or cap NR OTC and have NR's use PP when applying for OTC (similar to Wyoming). This will force hunters to use their points instead of being able to accumulate PP's year after year while still hunting. CO should not be the fall back option for every hunter in the nation who doesn't draw other states.
