Updated Big Game Regulations Summary
EFFECTIVE FOR 2024 BIG GAME SEASON
The Severe Winter Zone - License Reduction
In the winter of 2022-2023, the northwest corner of the state from Rangely to Steamboat Springs and to the Wyoming state line experienced severe conditions, resulting in high elk and pronghorn mortality. Because of the wildlife impacts observed on the ground, CPW has instituted unprecedented license reductions and changes to licensing allocation within this severe winter zone.
Learn more about the 2022-2023 winter in Northwest Colorado and Colorado Parks and Wildlife's response in Colorado Outdoors online two-part story on the power of collaboration (power-collaboration) and surviving today and after the snow melts.
These substantial changes and reductions should allow herds to recover as quickly as possible:
ELK
? Rifle Over-The-Counter: In the severe winter zone, rifle antlered licenses will be limited for hunting on
public lands in Data Analysis Unit (DAU) E-02 (GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 14, 214) and the following Game Management Units (GMUs) within DAU E-06 (GMUs 11, 211, 12, 13, 131, 231, 23, 24). Hunt codes EM003O2R, EM003O3R (GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 14, 214) and EM011O2R, EM011O3R (GMUs 11, 211, 12, 13, 131, 231, 23, 24) were created to allow for limited antlered rifle licenses for the 2nd and 3rd seasons for the 2024 and 2025 hunting seasons. These licenses would be valid on public and private lands. Hunting of antlered elk on private lands within this area will remain unlimited for the 2nd and 3rd seasons with the existing unlimited antlered licenses (hunt codes EM000U2R and EM000U3R) that are offered statewide.
? Bear's Ears (E-02): Due to the severity of this past winter and the high elk
mortality the Bear's Ears herd suffered, all either-sex hunt codes within DAU E-02 will be replaced with antlered only hunt codes. Hunt codes EM003O1R (valid in GMUs 3, 4, 5, 301, 441), EM003O4R (valid in GMUs 3, 301), EM004O4R (valid in GMUs 4, 441), and EM005O4R (valid in GMU 5) were created to replace the old hunt codes EE003O1R, EE003O4R, EE004O4R, and EE005O4R.
? Ranching for Wildlife - Bear's Ears (E-02) and White River (E-06): An antler point restriction will be
instituted for all antlered elk taken on Ranching For Wildlife properties located in the Bear's Ears (E-02) and White River (E-06) elk herds for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 hunting seasons.
PRONGHORN
The severity of the 2022-23 winter had significant impacts on the pronghorn population in DAU PH-09 (GMUs 3, 301, 4, 441, 5, 13, 14, and 214). Doe pronghorn hunting for all methods of take in this area will be closed for the 2024-2025 season.
PLEASE NOTE that license quotas will not be finalized until the May 2024 Commission meeting after staff are finished analyzing data from population surveys.

"`Tiney'was a bull moose in GMU 6. He had become a camp legend because of his wide frame and long tines. Tiney measured 44 1/2 inches wide and is very symmetrical. He is a unique bull because his horns never developed the pronounced palmation or paddle characteristic of bull moose. After a 6 1/2
hour stalk/pursuit covering 11 miles, Tiney was harvested."-Cory Davern ? Cory Davern

"My hunt was early October in Northwest CO. We were surrounded by animals all day every day. Finding big bulls was relatively easy, but finding one that wasn't broken up from rutting proved to be more difficult. After passing up 12 to 15 large bulls I ended up taking this one. Excellent hunting opportunity."-Sean Rud ? Erik Rud
