Colorado cow elk tag increase
 

Cow elk tag pricing going to $450 next fall! I may not go next fall as that is the only vote we have.

It also is close to the tipping point. Up till now, I was satisfied to hunt a cow due to the price break. Now if I go, I may just hunt a bull/either sex tag since it is not that much more any more. Ready to see more bull hunters in the woods?

Not good news overall. That probably means they have the herd where they want it, and it could mean less tags overall.

I hope they don't cut tags in my unit. We only have 25 cow tags now.

They can lose almost 23% of us and still make the same money, so maybe that is what they intend.

It was only 3 years ago (2010) when they raised if from $250 to $350

I have always enjoyed cow hunts, but $450 is a silly price for a cow tag. Looks like they want cow hunting to be resident only.

I moved to Colorado from California really excited to get to start hunting again...hopefully they don't start jackin with resident fees.

I'm pretty sure that brings CO in line with what most the other states also charge for a cow tag. I may be wrong but I don't have the time to research it right now.

That is a bit of a hefty price.

Not sure what other "license" fees are involved, but cow tag prices in Wyoming and even Montana are less than $300

And Colorado probably has more cow tags to sell than all other states combined.

So residents will sit on no price increase and are OK with us getting priced out of the market. Not sure I understand that fellow hunter mentality. "Everyone else is doing it" is no reason to go along.

Tobe B: You don't have anything to worry about. NR pricing can be raised by a vote in the DOW. Resident pricing changes has to be approved by the legislature.

In Wyoming a cow/calf tag for a NR adult is $288 and for a kid is only $100. You need the $12.50 Conservation Stamp to hunt anything and if you try for a tag in the drawings there is a $14 application fee, but the fee is not charged for leftovers.

Does anyone know what these NR price increases will do to landowner tags? Will they potentially be getting more since they are selling less? And this might be a little off the subject but can a longtime resident of Colorado tell me what they they think is going to happen since the legislature signed in the new bill that is supposed to change the requirements to the conditions of receiving landowner tags?
