Updated Big Game Regulations Summary
EFFECTIVE FOR 2023 BIG GAME SEASON
The Severe Winter Zone - License Reduction
The most notable changes in the 2023 big game license quotas are related to the severity and duration of the historic winter in the northwest corner of the state from Rangely to Steamboat Springs and to the Wyoming state line. In this severe winter zone, the winter at lower elevations, where mule deer, elk, and pronghorn winter, was the worst in at least 70 years because of deep, long-lasting, low-elevation snowpack. CPW recommended unprecedented license reductions within this severe winter zone to account for high mortality rates experienced by mule deer, elk, and pronghorn. These substantial reductions should allow herds to recover as quickly as possible:
? MULE DEER: In the severe winter zone, male and either-sex deer licenses are reduced by 5,000 (-48%) in
D-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14, 214, 301, 441), D-6 (GMU 10), and D-7 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 131, 211, 231) combined. Female licenses are reduced by 2,900 (-94%) and to the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code in D-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14, 214, 301, 441) and D-7 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 131, 211, 231) combined.
? ELK: In the severe winter zone, antlerless elk license recommendations are reduced in E-2 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 14, 214,
301, 441) by 5,600 (-89%) with all public cow hunts reduced to the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code. In E-6 (GMUs 11, 12, 13, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34, 131, 211, 231) antlerless licenses are reduced 8,700 (-63%) and for E-21 (GMU 10) the reduction is 400 (-60%) antlerless licenses.
? PRONGHORN: In the severe winter zone, pronghorn male and female license quotas are reduced to the
minimum of 10 per hunt code. Male licenses are reduced by 1,100 (-74%) and female licenses are reduced by 700 (-83%) combined for all DAUs. Affected DAUs include PH-9 (GMUs 3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 131, 214, 301, 441), PH-10 (GMU 11), PH-11 (GMUs 1, 2, 201), and PH-34 (GMUs 12, 23, 211).
Elk Over-The-Counter Season Dates
The duration of the second and third rifle seasons for over-the-counter bull elk licenses have been reduced to five days if used in GMUs 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 131, 211, 214, 231, 301, and 441. The second rifle season is reduced from Oct. 28?Nov. 5, 2023 to Oct. 28?Nov. 1, 2023, and the third rifle season is reduced from Nov. 11?Nov. 17, 2023 to Nov. 11?Nov. 15, 2023. If such licenses are used outside the severe winter GMUs, the full season dates apply. (See page 40)
Late Season Youth Pronghorn Hunts
New regulations specifically require youth hunters to have unfilled limited doe or either-sex pronghorn licenses to participate in late season youth pronghorn hunts. These changes were made to align regulation with the approved Big Game Season structure for 2020-2024. Previous regulation did not require the unfilled license to be a limited license. (See page 19)
