Title: If you will apply in Colorado for more than 1 species this is a good read.
Post by: GotMyTag on December 18, 2014, 08:41:14 AM: This year in Colorado it is $40 per animal point fee. If you put in for Deer, Elk, Antelope, Big Horn Sheep and Moose, that amounts to $200. That adds up pretty quickly. However, Colorado has provision that waives these fees for anyone who owned a hunting license in Colorado the previous year. If you drew or bought a tag in 2014, then you will be exempt to these fees in 2015. However, if you did not own a tag in 2014, you still have chance to eliminate the $40 per animal fee. You can buy a 2014 small game or fishing license before March 31, 2015 for $56 and this will count as owning a permit during the previous year to eliminate the $40 per animal fee. This is an easy way to save money. Use the money saved to apply for more states or more animals.

2 notes.
It must be a 2014 license.
None of this apply’s if you are under 18. Youth do not have to pay the $40 fee and they still get a point if they did not draw.

If you are only applying for Moose then this is not worth it. As it is $40 for the point and $56 for the fishing or small game license.

Post by: GotMyTag on December 19, 2014, 05:05:21 PM: i cannot predict the future.
But this was the same last year.
And I spoke to a gentleman in Colorado and asked this question and he thinks it is just how they are doing it.
So as far as I know this is the same rule for at least some years to come.

Post by: Halo on December 20, 2014, 08:18:01 PM: I don't think the $40 fee applies to bighorn sheep and mountain goat just deer, elk, antelope & moose. Still makes sense to spend $56 instead of $160 though if you apply for everything.

Post by: teanawayslayer on February 06, 2015, 05:47:37 PM: so this maybe a dumb question but here goes. I do all my hunting here in wa. I started applying in utah three years ago. I am interested in putting in for colorado. I was looking through there regs and couldn't find the info I was looking for. Do you have to buy a lic in order to buy preference points? or do you just pay your 40 bucks per animal choice? Any info would be appreciated.
