CO coyote hunting - legality

[180ls1]

Can someone verify if I have the below correct regarding coyote hunting in Colorado? I have my small game license and am west of I25.

I can use any caliber (223, 6.5, 300) if I have a small game license only?

If I have a big game tag, I can use any caliber until I fill that big game tag, then I need to use .230 or smaller for coyotes?

Orange is only mandatory when big game hunting but is probably recommended.

I called a local office but the phone rep was all over the place.

Thanks, so if I was just tagging along helping buddies (I won't have a deer/elk tag next year) I would need to use a sub-.230 if I wanted to tote something along to shoot a coyote with?

I am not sure about the caliber restrictions but something to consider. If you want to take a furbearer other than coyote (fox, badger, etc.), you will need a furbearer license.

If you are helping a buddy during rifle season, I would wear some orange.

Yessir! Though i think there is clarification needed on what they consider to be regular deer and elk seasons.

Makes me wonder what band of idiots has been making game laws there. Lol
