Leftover Tags to Non Residents

[colo_junk]

Anyone ever requested data from CPW regarding how many reissued tags are sold to non residents? I asked the question through their online portal and was told I need to submit a Colorado Open Records Act Request. Based on what I am seeing online, there might be a cost associated with that request so I thought I would ask on here first to see if this was information someone on here already knew.

I know Colorado used to favor residents for an hour or so several years ago when putting leftover tags up for sale. That preference has seemed to disappear over the last several years and I'm wanting to see what that has meant for who is actually getting these tags.

Ive done FOIA requests before here in NV. Most of the time, if you just have what amounts to a small data set, and it can be sent electronically, there's no fee.

Fees apply, IME, when there is a crazy amount of data to be had, which, like digging into archives and taking a large amount of staff time, if you want hard copies, or some other odd thing.

Do the FOIA request, they'll send you what it will cost and you make a decision, or just email you the data.

Pretty simple really.

If there is a cost, would you let me know. I would be really interested in that data.

I have also been wondering about non resident favoritism for reissued tags and why the money grab for putting “reissue” tags for a season that has already started….

I’m a resident, just got back from filling two third season reissue tags. I know a lot of residents and nr that have gotten tags.

If I had to guess it’s likely proportional to r/nr that apply in the normal draw. It would be interesting to see the data but everything is changing in a couple years anyways.
