DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) - As part of the new Big-Game Season Structure, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission has voted to eliminate over-the-counter archery elk tags for non-residents.
The CPW Commission voted 9-1 in favor of the decision last week. The new Big-Game Season Structure will go into effect in 2025 and run through 2029.
Under the new system, non-resident elk hunters will still be able to apply for archery tags in the annual draw.
