C olorado provides a wide variety of big game hunting opportunities . Hunters can choose from early high-country deer or late plains deer seasons to muzzleloading rifle, archery and rifle seasons for deer, elk and antelope. Some hunting units have antler restrictions, some units offer licenses only through the Division's computer drawing. We will reprint and mail it to you. If you are appling or buying licences in Colorado for the first time, a CC will be issued to you automatically.
Hunters can harvest buck deer for only the first five days of each combined rifle season.
If you plan to hunt elk and deer in a combined rifle season, you must hunt both species in the same season. How To Obtain An Application Form Non residents may request an applications by mail, or by email and please include your complete mailing address. The big game season information brochure containing the application form will be available in March. With the exception of archery, once a season has opened, licenses can be purchased only at Division offices and hunters must purchase licenses in person.
