If I were king for a day, this is how the early seasons would look like west of I-25. I could give a toot about the plains since I don't have $8500 to shell out to an outfitter for a muley. There are absolute monster bucks just a ten minute drive from my house but they will only be chased by white collar "hunters", but that's a different rant entirely.
Deer:
Archery: Aug 15 - Sep 15
Muzzleloader: Sep 1-10
Keep Early Rifle As Is
Keep Elk Dates As Is
Everyone with a deer or elk tag gets a bear tag for free in the unit (yes this means that bear season now starts 15 August to offset the fact we don't have a spring season) if the bear population is at or above desired population.
Keeping elk/deer dates the same doesn't make sense and adding a new archery deer tag for certain units is a very minor fix to the larger issue that deer and elk dates are married to one another.
