Important Reminders
Draw Licenses: Many tags, especially for deer and limited elk, require a successful draw application.
Non-Resident Changes: Non-resident over-the-counter (OTC) elk archery licenses are being discontinued, shifting most opportunities to the draw.
Deadlines: The primary application period for the draw typically opens March 1 and closes the first Tuesday in April (around April 1st).
For official, precise dates and regulations, please check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) website, as dates and rules can be finalized closer to the season.
