Colorado Elk Supply Demand

There has also been talks of having to use points on all choices. Draw your third choice, use your points. Lots going on here in Colorado. More of us should be listening to the commission meetings.

That would help with point creep

Yeah, They have talked about that and other things too.
I listen to the commission meetings and I agree with you ... probably more people should. They have alot of interesting discussions.

The comish has also stated they were sick of dealing with so many tags on the secondary draw and leftover list. Requiring people to burn points on a 3 and 4 choice will due just that.

First and second I could understand.

I don’t think it will help creep but I’m not smart. I also don’t think the new draw limits for moose, sheep and goats will help but again, I’m not smart.

For anyone interested, there’s a CPW commissioners meeting next week and they’re scheduled to talk about some of this stuff.

All of this is going to change with the wolves taking over CO elk herds. What I mean by that is non residents demand to come hunt I see dwindling in the next 5-10 years as these predators knock elk populations down. Just my guess.

The wolves aren't doing very well. I don't have access to the latest news but it has been far from a smashing success, a few have died a couple were killed for stock raiding, several states have refused to donate wolves for reintroduction

That’s good.
Give it time though. The prey numbers are there.

There is new proposed legislation to delay more wolf introduction
