Subject: Limited license recommendations for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, and black bear

This letter is a summary and explanation of the enclosed Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW)

annual limited big game license recommendations for the 2020 big game hunting season. The

sum of these recommendations is 277,300 limited licenses, for 2,800 individual hunt code

quotas, that represent the majority of the hunting opportunity for over 800,000 big game

animals.

Additional details are included in both regulation form and in a series of table summaries

titled 2020 Big Game License Recommendation Summary by Region and Species. The summary

tables were sent to the Parks and Wildlife Commissioners and posted to the CPW Commission

webpage. They can be found at the following link:

https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Commission/2020/May/2020.OBJECTIVES.draft.041620.P

WC.mailing.pdf. Information in these tables, hereafter referred to as Summary Tables,

transitions from a high-level summary to increasingly species-specific. Page 4 of the tables is

particularly informative with Regional and Statewide totals for all five species. After that,

each species has a table with license totals and changes for every population as well as

figures and data demonstrating factors important to license setting.

The 2020 license recommendations are based on evaluation of harvest, age and sex

classification data, population estimates, hunter distribution, Big Game Season Structure

(BGSS) dates and timing, and social considerations for each big game herd in Colorado.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission publicly approves each Herd Management Plan

(HMP), Bear Management Plan, and all limited license recommendations. The HMP for each

herd incorporates the capability of the habitat to support big game populations, other social

and biological limiting factors, and input from the public, organizations, and other agencies

about their issues and concerns regarding hunting management and herd objectives. Annual

harvest objectives and the resulting license recommendations for all hunts are designed to

achieve the management objectives approved in the HMP. Female license increases are

recommended in herds that are performing well and are at or above population objective

ranges and female license reductions are recommended in herds that are below population

objective ranges. CPW staff use 3-year averages of hunter success rates for setting annual

license recommendations to achieve harvest objectives.

The new 2020 BGSS resulted in a number of changes that factored into these

recommendations. For example, the longer breaks between the regular rifle seasons pushed

the seasons later into the month of November, which should increase harvest success on both

elk and deer. Longer breaks are intended to allow animals to redistribute between seasons,

potentially moving to areas more accessible to hunters. Later season dates increase the

likelihood of snow and give more time for animals to migrate out of the high country making

animals more accessible and visible to hunters. Finally, the mule deer rut starts in early to

mid-November, the rut makes mule deer bucks more vulnerable because they are more active

and associated with does. Consequently, new BGSS dates were factored into license

recommendations. In herds that are at HMP objectives, licenses may have been shifted to

earlier seasons to maintain similar harvest with the same license number. Conversely, when

herds are above HMP objectives, licenses were often left in the same seasons which should

result in higher harvest with the same licensing.

A Data Analysis Unit (DAU) is the geographic area and identifying number of a relatively

discrete big game population or herd. DAUs can contain multiple Game Management Units

(GMUs), which are geographic areas delineated to distribute hunters.

Deer

Approximately 212,000 hunters applied for Colorado deer licenses in 2020. The majority of

deer hunting in Colorado is managed by limited licenses; the only exceptions are over-the-

counter white-tailed deer licenses available in the Southeast Region.

CPW staff are recommending similar total deer licenses as last year; all changes result in an

increase of 980 deer licenses (+1%) to 101,500 limited licenses. A recommended decrease of

1,700 licenses in the Northwest Region was balanced out by an increase of 2,600 deer licenses

in the Northeast and Southeast Regions combined.

Statewide, rifle buck licenses remained nearly the same at 55,400. Buck license

recommendations were increased in herds that are above HMP sex ratio objectives. In DAUs

where CWD prevalence is greater than 5%, management actions were taken to reduce

prevalence, including buck license increases for several herds. Buck license recommendations

were reduced in herds that were below sex ratio objective ranges. HMP sex ratio objectives,

observed sex ratios, and CWD prevalence estimates for each herd are available in the Deer

Table, which is Summary Table page 5.

The statewide total rifle doe license recommendation is 16,400, up from 16,100 (+300, +2%).

Antlerless license increases are recommended in herds that are performing well and are at or

above population objective ranges and to address game damage. Alternatively, these

recommendations keep regular season doe licenses at the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt

of 8

code for all deer DAUs west of I-25 that are below population objective. In these below-

objective herds, the majority of doe licenses are private-land-only licenses to address game

damage. Private-land-only licenses and licenses with special restriction to address deer

conflicts near towns make up approximately 70% of the doe licenses in below-objective herds.

After large deer population declines in 2007, the total deer population has averaged 420,000

over the last 10 years. The statewide post-hunt 2019 deer population estimate is 418,000,

down from 433,000 last year. Population estimates are still far below the sum of statewide

population objective ranges of 494,000-558,000 for all 54 deer herds combined. In 2019, 25 of

54 (47%) deer DAUs are below their population objective ranges. Population objectives that

are appreciably higher than population estimates reflect CPW’s desire to stabilize, sustain,

and increase deer populations.

Diverse habitat types and environmental conditions around the state create considerable

geographic variability in population performance. Many deer herds on the plains and central

mountains are performing well. There is still reason for concern about declines, particularly

in many of the large westernmost herds in Colorado.

CPW annually monitors well over 1,000 radio-collared mule deer in five Intensive Mule Deer

Monitoring Areas to estimate survival. CPW also conducts post-hunt herd inventories,

primarily with helicopters, to estimate the sex ratios of males/100 females and the age ratios

of young/100 females. In addition to survival rates, these ratios are needed to estimate

population size using population models. The Summary Tables include of number of animals

classified and sex ratios by DAU, Region, and statewide.

The average of HMP sex ratio objectives for deer herds statewide is approximately 30

bucks/100 does. During the post-hunt herd inventories in 2019, CPW staff classified 69,000

deer and observed an average sex ratio of 32 bucks/100 does, which is down from 35

bucks/100 does in 2018. Reproduction and fawn survival to December was similar this year

compared with the previous year, the statewide average observed age ratio from helicopter

inventory was 58 fawns/100 does compared with 59 fawns/100 does in 2018.

Buck/doe ratios have shown a response to our management actions, and Colorado remains a

premier destination for deer hunters.

Elk

In 2020, approximately 215,000 hunters applied for Colorado limited elk licenses. All rifle

antlerless, muzzleloader, first, fourth, and late season elk licenses are limited. Archery

licenses and second and third rifle bull seasons in many GMUs are also limited.

CPW is recommending 129,500 limited elk licenses, up 3,000 licenses from last year.

However, the limitation of archery hunting in elk DAUs E-16 (Frying Pan), E-24

(Disappointment), E-30 (Hermosa), and E-31 (San Juan) complicates the explanation of total

of 8

limited license recommendations. Converting what were previously unlimited over-the-

counter (OTC) licenses to limited licenses recommendations results in an increase of 9,100

limited licenses for 2020. Without these new licenses; however, the total would be down

6,000 licenses.

Continuing with a 17-year trend, rifle elk license recommendations are reduced from last year

by 5,200 (-5%) to 102,000. Antlerless licenses make up the majority of this reduction, down

5,100 (-8%) from last year. Muzzleloader license recommendations are reduced concomitantly

by 500 (-4%). Rifle and muzzleloader elk license reductions are the result of a combination of

herds achieving population objectives through antlerless harvest and low calf/cow ratios

reducing population productivity.

The statewide elk population is stable. The 2019 estimate of 293,000 is up slightly from the

287,000 in 2018. The sum of Colorado’s post-hunt population objective ranges for elk

statewide is 234,000-284,000 for all 42 elk herds combined. The sum of statewide objective

ranges is partially based on historic HMPs. Plans written before 2001 were written with

outdated population models that underestimated elk numbers; as we update plans, we expect

population objectives to change. Because season and license setting is designed to use

antlerless harvest to bring elk populations to herd objectives, further reductions in antlerless

licenses are anticipated in the future as more elk populations reach objectives or population

objectives increase.

As we’ve intentionally reduced elk populations to achieve population objectives, hunters and

outfitters increasingly have expressed concern that elk populations are becoming too low in

some herds, despite the fact that 24 of 42 (57%) elk herds are above their current population

objective ranges. Nonetheless, public perception of the desired number of elk in Colorado

varies. CPW gives serious consideration to changing population objectives in herds as HMPs

are updated and tries to balance public interests of landowners, local communities, public

land management agencies, and hunters. Long-term experience with balancing these interests

has informed CPW on the upper and lower social thresholds for elk population size in many

herds, which benefits us greatly in herd management planning efforts.

The average of post-hunt sex ratio objectives in totally limited elk DAUs and expected sex

ratios in over-the-counter DAUs for elk herds statewide is approximately 24 bulls/100 cows. In

2019, during the post-hunt herd inventories, CPW staff used helicopter surveys to classify

84,000 elk and observed a statewide average sex ratio of 22 bulls/100 cows, compared to 24

bulls/100 cows in 2018.

During these surveys over the past decade CPW has observed declining calf/cow ratios in the

southern half of the state. In 2019, we observed the lowest statewide average calf/cow ratio

ever at 37 calves/100 cows. The Southwest Region was the lowest at 30 calves/100 cows with

the Northwest Region having the highest average at 45 calves/100 cows. Northern Colorado

historically has had higher calf ratios by about 10 calves/100 cows. Elk research and

of 8

continued management changes are necessary since calf production remains low in many

herds. Low calf ratios reduce the number of elk licenses CPW can issue.

The 2019 reductions in antlerless licenses are consistent with licensing trends of the last 17

years because many herds are near the desired population size and have low calf ratios.

Having a combination of units that are limited in all seasons and units with both limited and

over-the-counter hunting seasons allows us to offer a very wide range of hunting opportunities

on the nation’s largest elk population.

Pronghorn

In 2020, approximately 87,000 hunters applied for Colorado limited pronghorn licenses.

Pronghorn applications have increased substantially for the last several years. The majority of

pronghorn licenses are limited, with the notable exception of over-the-counter archery

licenses available in 70% of GMUs.

CPW is recommending 25,300 limited pronghorn licenses, down 700 (-3%) licenses from last

year. The majority of this reduction is in the Southeast Region where the license

recommendation is 17,000, down 800 licenses (-5%) from last year. Reductions were made to

manage to HMP objectives and to reduce hunter crowding on some public lands. The

Northeast was the only Region to recommend pronghorn license increases.

The estimated statewide post-hunt pronghorn population is 82,000, up from 79,000 in 2018.

The sum of statewide population objective ranges for hunted pronghorn herds is 69,000-

79,000 combined. Nineteen of 29 (66%) pronghorn DAUs are above the HMP population

objective range. Approximately half of the state’s pronghorn reside in the Southeast Region,

where the limited license numbers are largest. These recommendations maintain licenses as

high as is practical without negatively affecting success rates, exceeding landowner tolerance

for pronghorn hunters, and attempt to minimize crowding on public lands.

During pre-hunt herd surveys in 2019, conducted with helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, CPW

staff classified 25,700 pronghorn, which is the most ever. The average observed pre-hunt sex

ratio was 49 bucks/100 does, which is the same as last year. The average observed pre-hunt

fawn ratio was 50 fawns/100 does, up from 43 fawns/100 does in 2018, a result of wetter

range conditions.

Pronghorn on the eastern plains are doing quite well while some herds in the western portion

of the state have been struggling for about a decade. Colorado offers some excellent hunting

for one of North America’s most iconic animals.

Moose

Demand far exceeds allocation; 45,000 individuals applied for moose in 2020.

For 2020, we are continuing to increase license recommendations with a total of 520 limited

moose licenses, an increase of 12 (+2%) from last year. This recommendation includes 227 bull

and either-sex licenses and 293 cow licenses.

Antlerless licenses are the same as last year. Cow moose licenses are designed to manage

moose populations toward objectives, keep moose populations within the capability of their

habitat, and address moose conflicts in some areas. Cow licenses have lower success rates

than bull licenses.

The estimated statewide 2019 post-hunt moose population is 2,900, down from 3,200 in 2018.

We now have moose hunting in 66 GMUs, up from 39 GMUs in 2013. We are fortunate our

moose populations continue to do well because many other states are experiencing declines

in their moose populations. The growing number and distribution of moose in Colorado have

resulted in greater hunting and viewing opportunities.

Black Bear

In 2020, CPW is recommending 20,500 limited licenses for all seasons and methods of take for

black bear. Although this recommendation appears as a reduction of over 10,000 licenses

from 2019, half of the DAUs have been converted from limited licenses to OTC licenses as a

result of the 2020 bear BGSS changes. Once unlimited OTC bear license sales are included,

our total license sales in 2020 will likely meet or exceed levels seen in 2019. The statewide

harvest objective is projected to be about 1,430 bears and the statewide total mortality

objective is approximately 1,910 bears. The availability of unlimited OTC bear licenses in 9 of

17 DAUs is expected to contribute to an increase in harvest.

The 2020 season looks very different for bear hunters under the approved BGSS. Bear season

structure changes were aimed at removing unnecessary barriers to bear hunting whenever

possible to achieve DAU harvest objectives, while still managing bear hunter crowding during

the early seasons or in quality deer and elk units.

Current management objectives are to reduce bear populations in 10 DAUs and stabilize

populations at present levels in the remaining 7 DAUs. The DAU objectives are what guided

managers’ selection between one of the two bear licensing strategies that are available to

structure hunting opportunity under the new BGSS.

The licensing strategy known as the “Unlimited Add-on Strategy” offers unlimited OTC

licenses in every hunt, except September rifle, for DAUs with a management strategy of

reducing bear numbers. Archery and muzzleloader bear licenses require a qualifying deer or

elk license, but for each of these methods of take we also offer a limited license version with

of 8

no season participation requirements. This effectively means anyone wanting a bear license in

these DAUs can get one. The other bear licensing strategy, called the “Limited Strategy”, is

applied in DAUs that have a stable population management objective or are already reaching

harvest objectives. In these DAUs, all seasons continue to have limited licenses with no

season participation requirements, excepting private land only (PLOs) seasons. Under both

strategies, September PLO and concurrent rifle PLO bear licenses are unlimited and sold OTC

in all 14 DAUs where these seasons are in place.

In the 9 Unlimited Add-on Strategy DAUs, initial limited archery and muzzleloader license

levels were set in nearly all DAUs at their historic 2019 OTC with caps license levels to

populate these hunts in the first year. In the 8 Limited Strategy DAUs, nearly every limited

license hunt code (excluding PLO hunts since those are now unlimited OTC) was kept at 2019

status quo numbers.

License recommendations for limited Sept rifle seasons are status quo in all 17 DAUs with

respect to 2019 levels. Fourteen DAUs have PLO hunts and those are unlimited OTC in all

cases.

The non-resident price reduction to $100 in 2019 appears to be responsible for a 30% increase

in bear license sales, resulting in the purchase of nearly 6,000 more licenses than in 2018. In

2020 we continue the pricing reduction for non-residents ($100), further increase the price

reduction for residents ($38), as well as adding new youth bear licenses priced at $15 for

residents and $50 for non-residents.

Conclusion

The 2020 big game license recommendations provide for an economically significant and

diverse amount of big game hunting throughout Colorado. These recommendations and the

associated OTC licenses provide the opportunity for more than 300,000 hunters to enjoy the

incredible big game resources of the State. They also represent thousands of hours of

employees’ collective efforts to conduct herd inventories, obtain harvest estimates,

incorporate this information into predictive models, and finally to set limited license

recommendations. I am pleased to present these recommendations as a testament to the

incredible wildlife resources CPW manages for the enjoyment of the people of Colorado and

its visitors.

If you have any questions on this information, or anything else about limited license numbers,

feel free to give me a call prior to the Commission meeting. Thank You.

Buck license recommendations were increased in herds that are above Herd Management Plan (HMP) sex ratio objectives. In DAUs where CWD prevalence is greater than 5%, management actions were taken to reduce prevalence, including buck license increases for several herds. Buck license recommendations were reduced in herds that were below sex ratio objective ranges.Antlerless license increases are recommended in herds that are performing well and are at or above population objective ranges and reductions are recommended in herds that are below population objective ranges.

CPW is recommending 129,500 limited elk licenses, up 3,000 licenses from last year. However, the limitation of archery hunting in elk DAUs E-16 (Frying Pan), E-24 (Disappointment), E-30 (Hermosa), and E-31 (San Juan) complicates the explanation of total limited license recommendations. Converting what were previously over-the-counter unlimited licenses to limited licenses recommendations results in an increase of 9,000 limited licenses for 2020.

DEERApril 24, 2020

Statewide, rifle buck licenses remained nearly the same at 55,400.

A recommended decrease of 1,700 licenses in the Northwest Region was balanced out by increases of 2,600 deer licenses in the Northeast and Southeast Regions combined.

CPW is recommending similar total deer licenses as last year; all changes result in an increase of 980 deer licenses (+1%) to 101,500 limited licenses.

The price of a non-resident bear license continues to be $100 in 2020. This change was made in 2019 to encourage non-resident participation in bear hunting and resulted in the sale of an additional 6,000 bear licenses in 2019, with over 90% of that increase coming from non-resident sales. Additionally, resident bear licenses are discounted and we have created a new youth bear license for 2020.

Continuing with a 17-year trend, rifle elk license recommendations are reduced from last year by 5,200 (-5%) to 102,000.

CPW is recommending 25,000 limited pronghorn licenses, down 700 (-3%) licenses from last year.

2020 license sales are projected to be higher than 2019 because of the availability of unlimited OTC licenses, unlimited Add-on licenses for hunters that possess qualifying deer and elk licenses, and limited license numbers being similar to 2019.

CPW continues to encourage bear hunting on private property. All PLO licenses are sold unlimited OTC in all bear DAUs.

CPW is recommending 520 limited moose licenses, an increase of 12 (+2%) from last year.

This recommendation includes 227 bull and either-sex licenses and 293 cow licenses.

The recommended cow moose licenses are designed to manage moose populations toward objectives and keep moose populations within the capability of their habitat. Additionally, cow licenses have lower success rates than bull licenses.

Elk license reductions are the result of a combination of herds achieving population objectives through antlerless harvest and low calf/cow ratios reducing population productivity.

The majority of this reduction is in the Southeast Region where the license recommendation is 17,000, down 800 licenses (-5%) from last year. Reductions were made to manage to HMP objectives and to reduce hunter crowding on some public lands.

Under the new 2020-2024 BGSS, 10 bear DAUs will have unlimited OTC licenses available during archery, muzzleloader, concurrent rifle, and PLO seasons. Since these licenses are no longer “capped” (limited) in number, it is not possible to show a fair comparison of 2019 and 2020 limited licenses.

2020 BIG GAME LICENSE RECOMMENDATION DEFINITIONSDRAFT

Unlimited Licenses: Licenses that are not restricted in number. They are not available through the draw.

Weighted Average: An average that is calculated taking population size into account, so that larger populations contribute more to the average than smaller populations (i.e., populations influence the average in proportion to their size).

West of I-25 Units: GMUs west of Interstate I-25 and unit 140.

Post-hunt: The period after the hunting seasons. Most big game populations are surveyed post-hunt (in the winter), when they are concentrated at lower elevations in open terrain by snow, in order to estimate winter population levels and demographics.

Pre-hunt: The period before the hunting season. Many pronghorn surveys are conducted pre-hunt (in the summer) to estimate summer population levels and demographics.

Primary Draw: The first, main big game draw of the year for hunters applying for limited hunting licenses.

September Rifle Season: Limited rifle black bear seasons that occur during the month of September (before the regular deer and elk rifle seasons). The majority of black bear harvest occurs during these seasons and, therefore, they have the largest effect on black bear management.

Sex Ratio: Number of males per 100 females in a herd. Sex ratios are observed during big game surveys and used in population models. Sex ratio objectives are established for each herd in a Herd Management Plan. Hunting licensing numbers and strategies are established to achieve and maintain these objectives.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Season: In contrast to limited seasons, licenses in OTC seasons are not available through the draw. They do not require buying/having a qualifying license, do not use preference points and may be purchased any time through the end of the season. In 2019, the number of licenses available in OTC seasons were either unlimited or capped at a predetermined number. Starting in 2020, there will no longer be OTC with caps seasons.

Plains Units: GMUs east of Interstate I-25 except unit 140.

Private Land Only (PLO) License: Licenses that are only valid on private land.

Population Estimate: The estimate of the number post-season (winter) animals in a herd. CPW estimates the size of each herd annually based on population models.

Population Objective: The target number of animals in a herd. Population objectives are expressed as ranges and are established in the Herd Management Plan (HMP) for each herd. License numbers and hunting strategies are designed to reach or maintain the population objective of each herd.

Concurrent Rifle Season: Limited and unlimited black bear seasons that occur during the regular deer and elk rifle seasons. There are both regular concurrent and PLO concurrent black bear seasons.

Add-on Black Bear License: Archery and muzzleloader unlimited OTC black bear licenses only available to purchase by hunters who have a deer or elk license for the same manner of take and GMU.

Age Ratio: Number of young-of-the-year per 100 females in a herd. Age ratios are observed during big game surveys and provide an estimate of the number of young that were born in summer and survived until the survey. Age ratios are a measure of herd productivity and are used in population modeling.

Antlered License: A deer, elk, or moose license that is valid for the take of any animal with an antler or antlers of at least five inches in length.

Antlerless License: A deer, elk, or moose license that is valid for the take of any animal without antlers or with antlers of less than five inches in length.

Black Bear Age and Gender Composition: Metrics used as indicators of black bear population trajectory in relation to harvest levels. Harvested black bears are divided into 4 age-sex classes (adult male, adult female, subadult male, and subadult female).

April 24, 2020

% Adult Male in Harvest: The adult male segment of a population is the first to be reduced under increasing hunter pressure, therefore proportions of adult males (>5 yr old) in the harvest can indicate stability, increase or decrease in the population.

% Female in Harvest: As harvest levels increase and additional adult and sub-adult males are removed, the proportion of females of all ages in the harvest begins to increase. Therefore, proportions of females of all ages in the total harvest can indicate stability, increase or decrease in the population.

% Adult Females in Female Harvest: With increasing harvest, younger females are removed and older females (>5 yr old) become more common in the harvest. Thus, the proportion of adult females in the female harvest should rise with increasing harvest rates, indicating stability, increase or decrease in the population.

Classified Animals: During big game surveys, animals are categorized by age and sex. That is, animals are identified as adult males, adult females and young-of-the-year. These classifications are then used to calculate sex and age ratios.

Leftover Draw: Deer and elk applicants unsuccessful in the primary draw have the first chance at the limited licenses that are remaining after the primary draw by selecting Leftover Draw on their application.

Limited Licenses: A set (limited) number of licenses are available for specific units and dates for each species, and are initially issued through an application and draw process.

Manner of Take: Colorado hunting seasons are based on hunting methods (i.e., archery, muzzleloader and rifle/associated) permissible during each season.

Modeled Estimates: Mathematical models that integrate observed data (e.g., sex ratios, age ratios, population estimates, survival estimates, harvest estimates) are used to estimate the population size and demographic composition of each herd. Estimates derived from these models are referred to as modeled estimates.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD): A fatal neurological disease that attacks the brains of deer, elk and moose.

Data Analysis Unit (DAU): The geographic area that represents the year-round range of a specific big game herd/population. Each DAU is composed of one or more Game Management Units (GMUs). DAUs are used to monitor distinct herds/populations.

Either-sex License: A license that is valid for the take of either male or female animals.

Game Management Unit (GMU): A defined geographic area that provides a practical framework where management goals can be refined and applied on a finer scale than a DAU, typically through hunting regulations. GMUs are used to monitor hunter distribution.

Hunters may decline one opportunity to hunt and hold their place on the list. Hunts will continue when possible until (30) antlerless elk have been taken.

B. Units 79 (south of Colo 112), 82, 682 and 791 – San Luis Valley Damage Elk Hunts

87

1. The purpose of these hunts is to provide flexibility in managing damage by elk and maintain landowners’ rights to determine who may enter their property. Most license vouchers may be issued to friends and family of the landowner. Opportunities for non-associated public hunters may exist and will be selected from a list of interested hunters.

2. License vouchers may be transferred one time only, and shall only be transferred by the landowner to the hunter that will use the voucher to purchase the license. Third-party brokering of landowner vouchers is not permitted. Violation of this subsection shall invalidate the applicable landowner voucher and any license purchased with it.

3. Public hunters must apply no later than July 15 annually, to participate in a random drawing to be placed on a priority list of hunters. Applications will be accepted at the Monte Vista Service Center at 0722 S Rd. 1 E, Monte Vista.

4. Hunters drawn will be placed on the list and the top 10 hunters on the list will be notified of their placement no later than August 15 annually. When elk are available to be hunted, up to 4 hunters will be called. Hunters may decline one opportunity to hunt and hold their place on the list. Hunts will be conducted on an as-needed basis to alleviate game damage.

C. Units 80, 82, and 83 – San Luis Valley US Fish and Wildlife Refuge Permits

1. Starting in 2016, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will allow a limited number of elk hunters access to hunt on the Alamosa, Baca, and Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuges. To be eligible for an access permit, hunters must hold one of the following elk licenses in either GMU 80, 82, or 83:

a. Either-sex archery;

b. Antlered muzzleloader;

c. Antlered or either-sex first rifle;

d. Antlered or either-sex fourth rifle;

e. Any limited antlerless license.

2. To be entered into the drawing, eligible hunters must email the following address starting the day after left-over license day: [email protected]. Emailed entries will only be accepted for five days after left-over license day. Permits for these three refuges will then be issued at the Monte Vista Service Center via a random drawing on August 15, 2018, held under the direct supervision of the area wildlife manager.

Basis and Purpose Chapter W-2 - Big Game

Basis and Purpose: These regulations amend Chapter W-2 - Big Game - of the Parks and Wildlife Commission regulations and are necessary to properly manage big game populations in Colorado. They establish limited license numbers for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, and black bear during seasons, which were adopted in January 2020; and include licenses for archery, muzzleloading, early, regular, plains, late rifle and private land only seasons with respect to each species. Limited license numbers are set for specific game management units or groups of units. Limited license numbers are established to maintain big game herds at or near long-term population objectives, and, in the case of antlered deer, antlered elk, buck pronghorn and moose they are also set to achieve sex ratio objectives. The herd objectives are intended to maintain healthy populations, provide a diversity of hunting opportunities for residents and nonresidents, allow and maintain public recreational opportunity, minimize or control local game damage situations on private land and provide opportunity for landowners to cooperatively manage wildlife with the Division through the Ranching for Wildlife program. These resulting limited license numbers take into account harvest estimates and hunter success rates, wildlife counts and surveys, as well as impacts of winter weather and predation on big game populations. As is the case each year, this effort represents the culmination of numerous hours of work by various Division employees involved in the accumulation and analysis of data and a great deal of time spent with interested publics explaining both the recommendations and the rationale behind them. Further information regarding specific highlights of these annual changes are provided below. Deer Approximately 212,000 hunters applied for Colorado deer licenses in 2020. The majority of deer hunting in Colorado is managed by limited licenses; the only exceptions are over-the-counter white-tailed deer licenses available in the Southeast Region. CPW staff are recommending similar total deer licenses as last year; all changes result in an increase of 980 deer licenses (+1%) to 101,500 limited licenses. A recommended decrease of 1,700 licenses in the Northwest Region was balanced out by an increase of 2,600 deer licenses in the Northeast and Southeast Regions combined. Statewide, rifle buck licenses remained nearly the same at 55,400. Buck license recommendations were increased in herds that are above Herd Management Plan (HMP) sex ratio objectives. In Data Analysis Units (DAUs) where CWD prevalence is greater than 5%, management actions were taken to reduce prevalence, including buck license increases for several herds. Buck license recommendations were reduced in herds that were below sex ratio objective ranges. The statewide total rifle doe license recommendation is 16,400, up from 16,100 (+300, +2%). Antlerless license increases are recommended in herds that are performing well and are at or above population objective ranges and to address game damage. Alternatively, these recommendations keep regular season doe licenses at the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code for all deer DAUs west of I-25 that are below population objective. In these below-objective herds, the majority of doe licenses are private-land-only licenses to address game damage. Private-land-only licenses and licenses with special restriction to address deer conflicts near towns make up approximately 70% of the doe licenses in below-objective herds. After large deer population declines in 2007, the total deer population has averaged 420,000 over the last 10 years. The statewide post-hunt 2019 deer population estimate is 418,000, down from 433,000 last year. Population estimates are still far below the sum of statewide population objective ranges of

112

494,000-558,000 for all 54 deer herds combined. In 2019, 25 of 54 (47%) deer DAUs are below their population objective ranges. Population objectives that are appreciably higher than population estimates reflect CPW’s desire to stabilize, sustain, and increase deer populations. Diverse habitat types and environmental conditions around the state create considerable geographic variability in population performance. Many deer herds on the plains and central mountains are performing well. There is still reason for concern about declines, particularly in many of the large westernmost herds in Colorado. CPW annually monitors well over 1,000 radio-collared mule deer in five Intensive Mule Deer Monitoring Areas to estimate survival. CPW also conducts post-hunt herd inventories, primarily with helicopters, to estimate the sex ratios of males/100 females and the age ratios of young/100 females. In addition to survival rates, these ratios are needed to estimate population size using population models. The average of HMP sex ratio objectives for deer herds statewide is approximately 30 bucks/100 does. During the post-hunt herd inventories in 2019, CPW staff classified 69,000 deer and observed an average sex ratio of 32 bucks/100 does, which is down from 35 bucks/100 does in 2018. Reproduction and fawn survival to December was similar this year compared with the previous year, the statewide average observed age ratio from helicopter inventory was 58 fawns/100 does compared with 59 fawns/100 does in 2018. Buck/doe ratios have shown a response to our management actions, and Colorado remains a premier destination for deer hunters. Elk In 2020, approximately 215,000 hunters applied for Colorado limited elk licenses. All rifle antlerless, muzzleloader, first, fourth, and late season elk licenses are limited. Archery licenses and second and third rifle bull seasons in many Game Management Units (GMUs) are also limited. CPW is recommending 129,500 limited elk licenses, up 3,000 licenses from last year. However, the limitation of archery hunting in elk DAUs E-16 (Frying Pan), E-24 (Disappointment), E-30 (Hermosa), and E-31 (San Juan) complicates the explanation of total limited license recommendations. Converting what were previously unlimited over-the-counter (OTC) licenses to limited licenses recommendations results in an increase of 9,100 limited licenses for 2020. Without these new licenses; however, the total would be down 6,000 licenses. Continuing with a 17-year trend, rifle elk license recommendations are reduced from last year by 5,200 (-5%) to 102,000. Antlerless licenses make up the majority of this reduction, down 5,100 (-8%) from last year. Muzzleloader license recommendations are reduced concomitantly by 500 (-4%). Rifle and muzzleloader elk license reductions are the result of a combination of herds achieving population objectives through antlerless harvest and low calf/cow ratios reducing population productivity. The statewide elk population is stable. The 2019 estimate of 293,000 is up slightly from the 287,000 in 2018. The sum of Colorado’s post-hunt population objective ranges for elk statewide is 234,000-284,000 for all 42 elk herds combined. The sum of statewide objective ranges is partially based on historic HMPs. Plans written before 2001 were written with outdated population models that underestimated elk numbers; as we update plans, we expect population objectives to change. Because season and license setting is designed to use antlerless harvest to bring elk populations to herd objectives, further reductions in antlerless licenses are anticipated in the future as more elk populations reach objectives or population objectives increase. As we’ve intentionally reduced elk populations to achieve population objectives, hunters and outfitters increasingly have expressed concern that elk populations are becoming too low in some herds, despite the fact that 24 of 42 (57%) elk herds are above their current population objective ranges. Nonetheless, public perception of the desired number of elk in Colorado varies. CPW gives serious consideration to

113

changing population objectives in herds as HMPs are updated and tries to balance public interests of landowners, local communities, public land management agencies, and hunters. Long-term experience with balancing these interests has informed CPW on the upper and lower social thresholds for elk population size in many herds, which benefits us greatly in herd management planning efforts. The average of post-hunt sex ratio objectives in totally limited elk DAUs and expected sex ratios in over-the-counter DAUs for elk herds statewide is approximately 24 bulls/100 cows. In 2019, during the post-hunt herd inventories, CPW staff used helicopter surveys to classify 84,000 elk and observed a statewide average sex ratio of 22 bulls/100 cows, compared to 24 bulls/100 cows in 2018. During these surveys over the past decade CPW has observed declining calf/cow ratios in the southern half of the state. In 2019, we observed the lowest statewide average calf/cow ratio ever at 37 calves/100 cows. The Southwest Region was the lowest at 30 calves/100 cows with the Northwest Region having the highest average at 45 calves/100 cows. Northern Colorado historically has had higher calf ratios by about 10 calves/100 cows. Elk research and continued management changes are necessary since calf production remains low in many herds. Low calf ratios reduce the number of elk licenses CPW can issue. The 2019 reductions in antlerless licenses are consistent with licensing trends of the last 17 years because many herds are near the desired population size and have low calf ratios. Having a combination of units that are limited in all seasons and units with both limited and over-the-counter hunting seasons allows us to offer a very wide range of hunting opportunities on the nation’s largest elk population. Pronghorn In 2020, approximately 87,000 hunters applied for Colorado limited pronghorn licenses. Pronghorn applications have increased substantially for the last several years. The majority of pronghorn licenses are limited, with the notable exception of over-the-counter archery licenses available in 70% of GMUs. CPW is recommending 25,300 limited pronghorn licenses, down 700 (-3%) licenses from last year. The majority of this reduction is in the Southeast Region where the license recommendation is 17,000, down 800 licenses (-5%) from last year. Reductions were made to manage to HMP objectives and to reduce hunter crowding on some public lands. The Northeast was the only Region to recommend pronghorn license increases. The estimated statewide post-hunt pronghorn population is 82,000, up from 79,000 in 2018. The sum of statewide population objective ranges for hunted pronghorn herds is 69,000-79,000 combined. Nineteen of 29 (66%) pronghorn DAUs are above the HMP population objective range. Approximately half of the state’s pronghorn reside in the Southeast Region, where the limited license numbers are largest. These recommendations maintain licenses as high as is practical without negatively affecting success rates, exceeding landowner tolerance for pronghorn hunters, and attempt to minimize crowding on public lands. During pre-hunt herd surveys in 2019, conducted with helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, CPW staff classified 25,700 pronghorn, which is the most ever. The average observed pre-hunt sex ratio was 49 bucks/100 does, which is the same as last year. The average observed pre-hunt fawn ratio was 50 fawns/100 does, up from 43 fawns/100 does in 2018, a result of wetter range conditions. Pronghorn on the eastern plains are doing quite well while some herds in the western portion of the state have been struggling for about a decade. Colorado offers some excellent hunting for one of North America’s most iconic animals.

Moose

Demand far exceeds allocation; 45,000 individuals applied for moose in 2020.

114

For 2020, we are continuing to increase license recommendations with a total of 520 limited moose licenses, an increase of 12 (+2%) from last year. This recommendation includes 227 bull and either-sex licenses and 293 cow licenses.

Antlerless licenses are the same as last year. Cow moose licenses are designed to manage moose populations toward objectives, keep moose populations within the capability of their habitat, and address moose conflicts in some areas. Cow licenses have lower success rates than bull licenses.

The estimated statewide 2019 post-hunt moose population is 2,900, down from 3,200 in 2018. We now have moose hunting in 66 GMUs, up from 39 GMUs in 2013. We are fortunate our moose populations continue to do well because many other states are experiencing declines in their moose populations. The growing number and distribution of moose in Colorado have resulted in greater hunting and viewing opportunities.

Black Bear

In 2020, CPW is recommending 20,500 limited licenses for all seasons and methods of take for black bear. Although this recommendation appears as a reduction of over 10,000 licenses from 2019, half of the DAUs have been converted from limited licenses to OTC licenses as a result of the 2020 bear BGSS changes. Once unlimited OTC bear license sales are included, our total license sales in 2020 will likely meet or exceed levels seen in 2019. The statewide harvest objective is projected to be about 1,430 bears and the statewide total mortality objective is approximately 1,910 bears. The availability of unlimited OTC bear licenses in 9 of 17 DAUs is expected to contribute to an increase in harvest.

The 2020 season looks very different for bear hunters under the approved BGSS. Bear season structure changes were aimed at removing unnecessary barriers to bear hunting whenever possible to achieve DAU harvest objectives, while still managing bear hunter crowding during the early seasons or in quality deer and elk units.

Current management objectives are to reduce bear populations in 10 DAUs and stabilize populations at present levels in the remaining 7 DAUs. The DAU objectives are what guided managers’ selection between one of the two bear licensing strategies that are available to structure hunting opportunity under the new BGSS.

The licensing strategy known as the “Unlimited Add-on Strategy” offers unlimited OTC licenses in every hunt, except September rifle, for DAUs with a management strategy of reducing bear numbers. Archery and muzzleloader bear licenses require a qualifying deer or elk license, but for each of these methods of take we also offer a limited license version with no season participation requirements. This effectively means anyone wanting a bear license in these DAUs can get one. The other bear licensing strategy, called the “Limited Strategy”, is applied in DAUs that have a stable population management objective or are already reaching harvest objectives. In these DAUs, all seasons continue to have limited licenses with no season participation requirements, excepting private land only (PLOs) seasons. Under both strategies, September PLO and concurrent rifle PLO bear licenses are unlimited and sold OTC in all 14 DAUs where these seasons are in place.

In the 9 Unlimited Add-on Strategy DAUs, initial limited archery and muzzleloader license levels were set in nearly all DAUs at their historic 2019 OTC with caps license levels to populate these hunts in the first year. In the 8 Limited Strategy DAUs, nearly every limited license hunt code (excluding PLO hunts since those are now unlimited OTC) was kept at 2019 status quo numbers.

License recommendations for limited Sept rifle seasons are status quo in all 17 DAUs with respect to 2019 levels. Fourteen DAUs have PLO hunts and those are unlimited OTC in all cases. The non-resident price reduction to $100 in 2019 appears to be responsible for a 30% increase in bear license sales, resulting in the purchase of nearly 6,000 more licenses than in 2018. In 2020 we continue

115

the pricing reduction for non-residents ($100), further increase the price reduction for residents ($38), as well as adding new youth bear licenses priced at $15 for residents and $50 for non-residents.

Conclusion The 2020 big game license recommendations provide for an economically significant and diverse amount of big game hunting throughout Colorado. These recommendations and the associated OTC licenses provide the opportunity for more than 300,000 hunters to enjoy the incredible big game resources of the State. They also represent thousands of hours of employees’ collective efforts to conduct herd inventories, obtain harvest estimates, incorporate this information into predictive models, and finally to set limited license recommendations.
