Colorado deer tag allocation 2023

[TN VOL]

Hey guys where can I find or see the deer tag allocations for 2023 for each unit?? Is that something that happens after draw deadline?? Thanks

After application deadline. May Commission meeting. Expect lower quotas, especially in NW CO.

Agreed on the lower quotas. I have been through Meeker, Rangely, etc. a couple of times this winter. Brutal conditions for sure.

I was in that corner this week. Lordy Lordy the BLM has some issues with road maintenance.

For youth..does a youth hunter have to be 11 before you can start buying pref points?

They have to turn 12 by Dec 31st of the application year I believe.

This is a great resource. Other factors influence biologists, but this certainly should help in the general sense.

I'll likely hunt general season bulls in Southern CO this season on a hunt I do on-and-off again, and my dad and bro-in-law will likely draw buck tags if the quotas do not change. Snow wasn't terrible there, but I know nothing more than this cool colored photo so we'll see.

True. But a lot of effort and millions of dollars in an excellent moose program are about to get erased by some large canines.

I’m new to this I’m trying to muzzleload mule deer what are my chances of getting a tag? Can I use muzzleloader on archery and rifle seasons? Is there an OTC muzzleloader tags?

You’d have to draw a muzzy tag for mule deer, no OTC. You are too late for the 1st draw. Maybe can get 1 in a less desired unit though in the leftover draw. Licenses are season specific generally. Probably not too many folks will be drawing anything with zero preference points this year unless it’s in a real tough unit.

Ouch. No chance for me on the deer and elk tags I wanted. Even a slimmer chance at my 2nd choices. Could get lucky, but seriously doubt it. NW units sure got slashed. Guessing this fall will be offshore fishing instead of hunting in CO. Got the bad news already on Utah apps.

Ha! Yah I think we’re going to do another long range trip this fall. It’s not looking like we’ll be hunting much.

Just figured out why you're so interested in muzzloaders couple felonies on the record? And I guarantee "a lot" of people here don't do it.

For a guy who doesn’t use a license sure asked a lot of questions about obtaining a license.
