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:

1. Provide input on the current draw rules and processes,
2. Brainstorm ways to reduce complexities in the current system
3. 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:

1. Primary Draw/Draw Methods
2. Preference Points
3. Weighted Draw and Weighted Preference Points
4. 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.
