CPW seeks public input on big game regulations
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking public input on proposed changes to 12 potential big game regulations in Northwest Colorado.
Potential proposed regulations include:
- Should bull rifle licenses change to either-sex in E2 (Bear’s Ears herd) and E10 (Yellow Creek herd)
- Should the hunting of pronghorn be allowed in data analysis unit A-22 (North Fruita Desert)
Proposed regulations chosen by staff to move forward will be presented to the Parks and Wildlife Commission as an informational item for the first time in November. The final regulations will be reviewed for adoption at the Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting in January. If approved, the changes will take effect for the 2026 hunting season.
“Public feedback plays an important role when we look at updating or creating new regulations,” said Northwest Region Senior Terrestrial Biologist Brad Banulis, in a statement. “Hunters’ feedback from these surveys will help us finalize the proposed changes and determine what will be presented to the Parks and Wildlife Commission during the November meeting.”
The public can learn more about the proposed changes and submit feedback using the Northwest Region Big Game Proposals Survey at TinyUrl.com/3a8xwnvc.
The survey is open to the public until Nov. 1.
