You understand the issue for sure. I have not contacted Colorado DOW. My last communication wasn't a high point for me personally and resulted in my decision to stop buying points from them. It is all about the money for them and the PP system accounts for a large percentage of their revenue. Speaking as a western state non resident....the costs associated with being able to hunt when you add the tags to the PP fees over time is ridiculous. Like others have said if you want to play you have to pay. I can appreciate that and participated until it got so ridiculous that I just didn't want to anymore.
