While I'm no fan of CPW management under the Polis administration, the agency still needs non resident dollars. Pressure from resident hunters has rightly moved the needle to favor residents in the apportionment of licenses, but the cost for non residents remains relatively low. Only in Colorado can a non resident hunt elk every year.

As a noob, I went through the process. Went to the local class and learned about herd count and success rate. Put in for a tag, pfft.

Next year. Pfft.

Rinse & repeat. Pfft.

Went to the CPW office and stood in line for a sloppy-second tag, and the kind officer said "don't bother" because there was nothing but pumpkin patch
