Colorado's Big Game License Basics: License Types

Join Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff as they discuss the basics of Colorado's big game license system. For hunters trying to draw their first license, the complex system can be challenging. In this episode, Bryan and Chad dive into some basic concepts including limited and unlimited or Over-the-Counter (OTC) big game licenses, Game Management Units (GMU), and hunt codes.
Tune into additional episodes for explanations that will help you draw a Colorado limited big game license.

For first time applicants, make sure you have a 22 fishing license, small game or combo. While mine was still valid it was a 21 so I had to go grab a 22 real quick before I could apply. Here's hoping I draw!

So out of state applicants only need a fishing license to apply for a big game license this year?

Does each GMU have the same hunt dates ?

Check the Colorado Big Game Brochure. There are lots of variables - Ranching for Wildlife hunt codes, late season hunts... cpw.state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/Brochure/BigGame/biggame.pdf
