Draw years
2025–2026

In 2026, 9 of 49 residents drew (18%). A weighted random draw among applicants with 3 or more preference points, so there is no single point cutoff.

In 2026, nonresidents needed 2 points: the report shows 1 of 1 drew at that level.

Harvest success in 2025 was 40%.

Reading these numbers

Colorado ranks first-choice applicants by preference points (one point for each year you miss your first choice), with nonresidents capped at a share of each hunt's licenses. Hunts that took 10+ resident points the year before and have 5+ licenses also run a hybrid draw: up to 20% of licenses go at random to applicants with at least 5 points. For moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat, each miss after 3 preference points adds a weighted point that improves a random draw instead; for those species the point level shown is preference plus weighted points. Numbers are adult first-choice applicants; youth and landowner (LPP) applicants are reported separately by CPW and left out.
