Game Violation Reciprocity between CO and WY

[timberland]

Just realized one of my WY group applicants received a 20 pt violation for trespassing last year in CO. The Conservation Officer warned him his CO application status may be in jeopardy at 20 points. Is there such thing as reciprocity on game violations between CO and WY or any other states?

 

[bowtech3dhunter]

Yes. It is called the interstate wildlife violator Compact. If a hunter loses his hunting privileges in one state, the penalty transfers to all the other states in the agreement. I think there are like 45 states in the agreement now.

SO the next question is whether 20 points is enough to lose hunting privilege's in CO. does anybody have any experience or input?

Curious to know as well so following along. On a side note, were there any boulders surrounding his truck by chance?

Everyone has 20 points. Violations will reduce that amount accordingly.

Your buddy has 0 points. It would be best to call the CPW and ask about the specifics

Nope, bailed off on the wrong side of the road, didn't know where they were at. One guy got 35 pts with another violation and my friend got 20.

This is what I found:
(1) The commission, or a hearing officer who has been delegated authority by the commission, has the exclusive authority to suspend the privilege of applying for, purchasing, or exercising the benefits conferred by any or all licenses issued by the division for a period not to exceed five years, except as otherwise provided in articles 1 to 6 of this title, if a person:

(a) Has been convicted of violations of articles 1 to 6 of this title totaling twenty or more points in any consecutive five-year period;

So, everyone starts with 20 pts and a violation is worth "x" points that you forfeit?

How do you earn points? like I posted above, one guy was "assessed" 35 pts (or fined 35 points)

Some game violations are 2 points, some 4 points, etc. depending on the severity of violation.

I bet his violation stated how long he is in ‘time out’

35 points I bet is 5-10 years.

If his case isn't settled yet maybe its' not decided? Sounds like he may want to make a call to the local authorities where it happened. If it's still pending I wouldn't think it's a great idea to go hunt.

That seems excessive for just going off the wrong side of the road, you sure they weren't killing animals on the private?

 

[cnelk]

20 points is assessed for trespassing. 15 more means there was some serious shit happening

 

[orionthehunter1]

That's what I was getting at 35 points for trespassing isn't adding up. I think this guy needs some new hunting partners

See above. My buddy was trespassing only, other guy got 35 pts

 

[orionthehunter1]

so what did the other guy do?

 

[HairyScandinavian]

so what did the other guy do?

Buddy and other guy trespassed together, other guy shot something? Am I close OP?

Don't know who or what the other guy did. They weren't together, outfitter called the c.o. and my buddy got the trespassing

I wouldn't let them know the group number as I wouldn't want them to ruin my opportunity at drawing a tag.

How, in this day and age of apps and GPS, did they not know where they were?
