Mike-
CO you can set up for draw, pay the full amount plus $3.00, and if you don't get drawn you get the license fee back but not the $3.

There are also, or in the past anyway, over the counter tags for you to pick up. Best bet is to get into a draw area, and if that doesn'lt work out then just a counter tag. That gets you into general public hunting which isn't too bad if your willing to work.

Anyway, look up the CO DOW website, and send them an e-mail, they will gete you on a mail list and set you up.
