#257.5 - SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS

A. Unit 512 - Air Force Academy

Hunters must apply in person, no later than May 31 annually to participate in a random drawing to be placed on a priority list of hunters. Applications along with a non-refundable application fee not to exceed $10.00 will be accepted at the Academy's Outdoor Recreation Center, Building 5136 - Community Center Drive, AFA, Colorado Springs.

The first 15 hunters drawn will be placed on the list and will be notified of their placement by June 15 annually. When elk are available to be hunted, up to 4 hunters will be called. After obtaining a license, paying a fee not to exceed $30.00 to the Academy and receiving a safety briefing, hunters will be escorted on the hunt. Hunters may decline one opportunity to hunt and hold their place on the list. Hunts will continue when possible until (30) antlerless elk have been taken.

B. Units 82, 682 and 791 – San Luis Valley Damage Elk Hunts

1. The purpose of these hunts is to provide flexibility in managing damage by elk and maintain landowners’ rights to determine who may enter their property. Most license vouchers may be issued to friends and family of the landowner. Opportunities for non-associated public hunters may exist and will be selected from a list of interested hunters.

2. License vouchers may be transferred one time only, and shall only be transferred by the landowner to the hunter that will use the voucher to purchase the license. Third-party brokering of landowner vouchers is not permitted. Violation of this subsection shall invalidate the applicable landowner voucher and any license purchased with it.

3. Public hunters must apply no later than July 15 annually, to participate in a random drawing to be placed on a priority list of hunters. Applications will be accepted at the Monte Vista Service Center at 0722 S Rd. 1 E, Monte Vista.

105

4. Hunters drawn will be placed on the list and the top 10 hunters on the list will be notified of their placement no later than August 15 annually. When elk are available to be hunted, up to 4 hunters will be called. Hunters may decline one opportunity to hunt and hold their place on the list. Hunts will be conducted on an as-needed basis to alleviate game damage.

C. Units 80, 82, and 83 – San Luis Valley US Fish and Wildlife Refuge Permits

1. Starting in 2016, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will allow a limited number of elk hunters access to hunt on the Alamosa, Baca, and Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuges. To be eligible for an access permit, hunters must hold one of the following elk licenses in either GMU 80, 82, or 83:

a. Either-sex archery;

b. Antlered muzzleloader;

c. Antlered or either-sex first rifle;

d. Antlered or either-sex fourth rifle;

e. Any limited antlerless license.

2. To be entered into the drawing for the 2016 hunting seasons, eligible hunters must email the following address starting the day after left-over license day: [email protected]. Emailed entries will only be accepted for five days after left-over license day. Permits for these three refuges will then be issued at the Monte Vista Service Center via a random drawing on August 17, 2016, held under the direct supervision of the area wildlife manager.

MAILING - 04/29/2016 Basis and Purpose

Chapter W-2 - Big Game

Basis and Purpose:

Allowing Dream Hunt and Youth Outreach Licenses on Ranching for Wildlife PropertiesIn the past, Ranching for Wildlife (RFW) enrolled ranches have offered to allow Youth Outreach and Director’s Dream Hunt programs access to their ranches for the purpose of supporting agency efforts to expand youth hunting programs and support hunting opportunities for youth with terminal or life threatening illnesses. However, previous regulatory wording did not allow these programs on RFW properties if a species was under contract.

These revised regulations provide authority to use Dream and Youth Outreach licenses on a RFW property after final approval from the agency and as long as a public RFW season is not occurring.

Big Game QuotasThese regulations amend Chapter W-2 - Big Game - of the Parks and Wildlife Commission regulations and are necessary to properly manage big game populations in Colorado. They establish limited license numbers for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, and black bear during seasons which were adopted in January 2016; and include licenses for archery, muzzle-loading, early, regular, plains, late rifle and private land only seasons with respect to each species. Limited license numbers are set for specific game management units or groups of units. Limited license numbers are established to maintain big game herds at or near long-term population objectives, and, in the case of antlered deer, antlered elk, buck pronghorn and moose they are also set to achieve sex ratio objectives. The herd objectives are intended to maintain healthy populations, provide a diversity of hunting opportunities for residents and nonresidents, allow and maintain public recreational opportunity, minimize or control local game damage situations on private land and provide opportunity for landowners to cooperatively manage wildlife with the Division through the Ranching for Wildlife program. These resulting limited license numbers take into account harvest estimates and hunter success rates, wildlife counts and surveys, as well as impacts of winter weather and predation on big game populations. As is the case each year, this effort represents the culmination of numerous hours of work by various Division employees involved in the accumulation and analysis of data and a great deal of time spent with interested publics explaining both the recommendations and the rationale behind them.

Deer Almost all deer hunting in Colorado is by limited license, and demand for deer licenses is strong. In 2015, 178,000 hunters applied for 83,200 deer licenses. For 2016, CPW is recommending 88,900 deer licenses, an increase from 2015 (+5,700 licenses, +7%). The predicted 2016 deer harvest from these license recommendations is 36,000.

In herds west of I-25, our total 2016 license recommendation is 74,000, an increase of 7% from the 69,100 licenses issued in 2015. Of these, 9,600 are antlerless rifle licenses (+6%), 3,200 are either-sex rifle licenses (+13%), 44,200 are antlered rifle licenses (+7%), 10,200 are archery licenses (+4%), and 7,000 are muzzleloader licenses (+5%). Restoration of buck licenses, that were reduced after the winter of 2007-2008, continues with another year of recommended increases in many DAUs.

Antlerless license increases are recommended in herds that are performing well and are at or above population objective ranges. In all deer herds that are below their population objective range, these license recommendations keep regular season doe licenses to the minimum of 10 licenses per hunt code. In the herds that are below population objective, the majority of doe licenses are private-land-only licenses to address game damage. Private-land-only licenses make up 68% of the doe licenses in herds that are below population objective.

The statewide post-hunt 2015 deer population estimate is 436,000, up from 424,000 in 2014. The predicted post-hunt population estimate resulting from the 2016 license recommendations is 440,000. Population estimates are still far below the sum of statewide population objective ranges of 501,000 - 557,000 for all 55 deer herds. We prioritize and systematically revise herd management plans, and some management plans have yet to be updated. Therefore, the statewide population objective range still includes objectives from older herd management plans, based on outdated population models that often overestimated deer numbers, and objectives from plans that were written at a time when population sizes were, in fact, larger. Population objectives also reflect CPW’s desire to stabilize, sustain, and increase deer herds that have experienced declines and are below population objective.

Diverse habitat types and environmental conditions around the state create considerable geographic variability in population performance. Many deer herds are performing well, and population sizes and license numbers are increasing. Since last year, population estimates have increased by 10% or more in 11 of 55 deer herds (20%); seven of these herds were on the Western Slope. Despite these increases, there’s still reason for concern in many of the large westernmost herds in Colorado.

CPW intensively monitors annual adult doe survival and winter fawn survival in five mule deer herds. We also monitor buck survival in two of these herds. These herds were selected to ecologically and geographically represent mule deer west of I-25. CPW annually monitors approximately 900 radio-collared mule deer in the five intensive monitoring areas. Survival rates from these herds are used in deer population models for the rest of the herds west of I-25. Survival rates in most of the monitoring areas were extremely high during the winter of 2014-2015. Survival rates for this past winter range from very high in D-16 (Salida) and D-19 (Uncompahgre Plateau) to low in the Gunnison Basin. Additionally, the fawn survival in D-2 (Bears Ears) is very low as a result of difficult winter conditions in that part of the state.

CPW conducts post-hunt herd inventories with helicopters to estimate the sex ratios of males/100 females and the age ratios of young/100 females. In addition to survival rates, these ratios are needed to estimate population size using population models.

The average of sex ratio objectives for deer herds statewide is 30 bucks/100 does. During the post-hunt herd inventories in 2015, CPW staff classified 80,000 deer and observed an average sex ratio of 38 bucks/100 does up from 35 bucks/100 does in 2014. The steady increase in buck/doe ratios over the last four years is noteworthy. Reproduction and survival to December was also good this year, as the statewide average observed age ratio from helicopter inventory was 56 fawns/100 does.

High fawn/doe ratios and high over-winter fawn survival the last few winters have had the combined effect of increasing populations and buck/doe ratios in many herds. Based on these high observed post-hunt sex ratios and a high hunter success rate of 52% for all rifle seasons in 2015, overall buck hunting continues to be good, even in some of the declining herds where we lowered license numbers to achieve the sex ratio objectives and maintain the opportunity to harvest mature bucks. Buck/doe ratios have shown a strong response to our management actions, and Colorado remains a premier destination for deer hunters. Barring a difficult winter, high buck/doe ratios should translate into increased license numbers and hunter opportunity in the future.

Elk Elk hunts in most units will include over-the-counter archery licenses [145 of 186 GMUs (78%)] and over-the-counter second and third season rifle bull licenses [92 of 186 GMUs (49%)]. All rifle antlerless licenses, muzzleloader, first, fourth, and late season licenses are limited, as are archery licenses in 22% of GMUs. In 2015, 200,000 hunters applied for Colorado limited elk licenses.

CPW is recommending 2,800 fewer limited elk licenses in 2016 (-2%). We are recommending 136,700 licenses down from the 139,500 issued in 2015. Antlerless and either-sex license recommendations are reduced in the Southwest, Southeast, and Northwest Regions (totaling 3,400 licenses, or -4%) due to another year of low calf/cow ratios in the southern half of the state. License increases are recommended in the Northeast Region (220, +4%).

The predicted 2016 elk harvest of 42,400 will likely be the lowest in several years. The statewide elk population is estimated at 276,000 post-hunt 2015, down from 280,000 in 2014. The predicted harvest from these license recommendations yields a predicted 2016 post-hunt population of 275,000 elk. The sum of Colorado’s post-hunt population objective ranges for elk statewide is 222,000-270,000 for all 46 elk herds. We continue to prioritize the revision and implementation of herd management plans, because the sum of statewide objective ranges is partially based on historic herd management plans. The older plans were written with outdated population models that underestimated elk numbers; as we update herd management plans in the next few years, we expect population objectives to change. Because season and license setting is designed to use antlerless harvest to bring elk populations to herd objectives, further reductions in antlerless licenses are anticipated in the future as more elk populations reach objectives.

As we’ve intentionally reduced elk populations to achieve population objectives, hunters and outfitters increasingly have expressed concern that elk populations are becoming too low in some herds, despite the fact that 43% of the elk herds are still above their current population objective ranges. Based on feedback from the public, CPW gives serious consideration to raising population objectives in herds as herd management plans are revised. These requests are balanced with landowners’ concerns about game damage and with information from public land management agencies about habitat condition and preferences identified by local communities and sportsmen. Past experiences are informing the upper and lower social thresholds for elk population size in many herds, which will benefit us greatly in future herd management planning efforts.

The current average sex ratio objective range for elk herds statewide is 21-26 bulls/100 cows. In 2015, during the post-hunt herd inventories, biologists used helicopter surveys to classify 82,000 elk and observed a statewide average sex ratio of 23 bulls/100 cows, which is similar to 2014.

During these surveys over the past few years we’ve observed lower than normal calf/cow ratios in the southern half of the state in both the Southwest and Southeast Regions. Some herds have three-year average calf ratios as low as 20 calves/100 cows. The three-year average is a concerning 30 calves/100 cows in both the Southwest and Southeast Regions, compared to 46 calves/100 cows in the Northwest Region and 48 calves/100 cows in the Northeast Region. Northern Colorado typically has higher calf ratios by about 10 calves/100 cows. Further research and management changes appear necessary since calf production remains so low in the southern half of the state.

In general, the 2016 statewide license recommendations for elk are comparable to the total quota issued in 2015 because many herds are near the desired population size. Having a combination of units that are limited in all seasons and units with both limited and over-the-counter hunting seasons allows us to offer a very wide range of hunting opportunities on the nation’s largest elk population.

Pronghorn The majority of pronghorn licenses are limited, with the exception of over-the-counter archery licenses available in many herds [131 of 186 GMUs (70%)]. The number of limited licenses recommended for 2016 is 22,800, up considerably from 18,800 in 2015 (+4,000, +21%). The majority of this increase is in the Southeast Region where the license recommendation is 15,600, up from 12,300 in 2015 (+3,300, +27). This increase demonstrates responsiveness in using limited licenses to manage herds to populationobjective. This recommendation increases licenses as much as is practical without negatively affectingsuccess rates or exceeding landowner tolerance for pronghorn hunters.

The estimated statewide post-hunt pronghorn population is 79,400 in 2015, up from 73,000 in 2014. This is the highest pronghorn population estimate ever, topping the 78,700 estimated in 2010. The sum of statewide population objective ranges for hunted pronghorn herds is 67,000-76,000. Populations have increased in all four Regions, with the largest increase in the Southeast Region where favorable moisture conditions have resulted in dramatic increases in reproduction.

The 2015 harvest of 8,800 was lower than the record harvest of 12,300 set in 2010. The predicted 2016 pronghorn harvest is 9,900, with a predicted 2016 post-hunt population of 80,000.

During pre-hunt herd surveys in 2015, conducted with helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, biologists classified 22,500 pronghorn. The average observed pre-hunt ratio was 48 bucks/100 does down from 73 bucks/100 does in 2014. The average observed pre-hunt fawn ratio was 62 fawns/100 does up from 51 fawns/100 does in 2014.

Pronghorn on the eastern plains are doing quite well while herds in the western portion of the state have been struggling for about a decade. Regardless, Colorado offers some excellent hunting for one of North America’s most iconic animals.

Moose All moose licenses remain limited, and demand far exceeds allocation, with 22,000 individuals applying for moose licenses in 2015. For 2016, we are recommending 341 moose licenses, up from 319 in 2015 (+22, +7%). The statewide moose harvest was 233 in 2015, up from 209 in 2014.

The estimated statewide post-hunt moose population in herds open to moose hunting is 2,600 in 2015. The current population objective range for all moose herds is 1,900 – 2,400. The predicted 2016 post-hunt moose population estimate is 2,530.

Moose populations continue to do well throughout the state. We now have moose hunting in 58 GMUs, up from 39 GMUs in 2013. We are fortunate because many other states are experiencing declines in their moose populations. The growing number and distribution of moose in Colorado have resulted in greater hunting opportunity.

Bear Bear management is governed by the strategic goals described in the 17 bear management plans and the direction of the Parks and Wildlife Commission. From 2010-2015, 14 of the bear management plans have been updated. In most plan areas the goals are to continue bear population reductions, while in B-3,B-7, B-13, and B-14 the goal is to stabilize bear populations at about current levels.

In 2016 the statewide harvest objective is just over 1,300 bears and the statewide total mortality objective is ~1,800. The sum of license allocations for all bear management areas is 22,872 licenses, which is an increase of 121 licenses from the 2015 allocation.

In bear management unit B-7, management objectives to decrease the bear population for 5 consecutive years has been met and the license reductions (-300 licenses) are intended to shift toward stabilizing the bear population at a lower level than that found when the management plan was approved in 2011. In bear management unit B-19, the license reductions in the combined concurrent season are designed to align the license allocation more closely with demand.

The changes recommended to the license allocations in the other bear management units (B-6, B-15, B-16, B-17, and B-18) are mostly allocated to September seasons, the time when harvest success rates and demand for licenses are highest. In those bear management units we recommend additional licenses to continue applying sufficient harvest pressure to demonstrate decreases in bear populations.

On a statewide basis, in 2016 female bears are expected to comprise over 40% of the harvest and we expect greater than 55% of the female bears will be adult bears. These two harvest composition characteristics are indicative of decreasing bear populations. In combination, the annual evaluation of forage conditions, hunter success rate trends, harvest composition, and the absolute mortality amount informs us that we are accomplishing our management goal of reducing black bear populations on a statewide basis.

Conclusion The 2016 big game license recommendations provide for an economically significant and diverse amount of big game hunting throughout all of Colorado. These recommendations and the associated over-the-counter licenses provide the opportunity for over 300,000 hunters to enjoy the incredible big game resources of the State. They also represent the accumulation of thousands of hours of employees’ efforts conducting herd inventories, obtaining harvest estimates, and incorporating all of this information into predictive models.

The primary statutory authority for these regulations can be found in § 24-4-103, C.R.S., and the state Wildlife Act, §§ 33-1-101 to 33-6-209, C.R.S., specifically including, but not limited to: §§ 33-1-106, C.R.S.

EFFECTIVE DATE - THESE REGULATIONS SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016 AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL REPEALED, AMENDED OR SUPERSEDED.
