Conversations with Boulder County as they consider their moratorium. Struggle with community discontent. Castilian: What is timeframe for ORS? [Not sure.] Pribyl: Adoption of SHIFT Principles is used as good evidence of CO support 6 Dept. of Agriculture Update: Don Brown 1 07 45 • Open Space ranks more important the food production. A lot of work ahead of us. 7 CPW Director’s Update: Bob Broscheid 0 20 30 • Asked partners to adopt SHIFT Principles. • Have a new Regional Forester. Open dialogue with USFS on issues. 8 Legislative Update: Doug Vilsack 0 27 40 • Spending a lot of time talking with CDC. Conversation will continue. • SCTF Bill introduced yesterday. Coram and Esgar sponsoring. • Financial Sustainability Bill – Referring to as a “Fee Bill” puts the wrong message out there. Tied to CPI 1 o o ANS Sticker o Has not been introduced. Details are flexible prior to introducing bill. • Receiving good feedback from Sportsmen Castilian: Tiered fee system based on number of points that would be required to draw licenses and tying in- state fees to those points. More points = higher price. Hears from people that in-state fees are ridiculously low. Broscheid: Been having discussions on what options we have. People are cautious to give Commission authority. Castilian: What does the distrust come from? Broscheid: Good question. Vilsack: Pulling bill this year is difficult to make modifications to what we have proposed in outreach efforts. Pribyl: Is it possible to craft an amendment that allows for flexibility granted to the Commission to consider various pricing options? [Vilsack – Yes. We don’t need an amendment as we don’t have a bill yet. Can put this into a bill.] Bray: Likes Castilian’s idea and would like to incorporate flexibility into the wording. 60% cap is too low. Understands need to be cautious. Need to build in flexibility. Don’t cap too low. We can phase in increases – don’t need to do it all in one year. Pizel: DRAFTConcerned that seniors are used to senior discount even though they are likely more able to pay. Howard: Hasn’t had any feedback from seniors against raising senior fishing license fee. Push fee up to 100% increase until we get push back. Vilsack: We’re going to get push-back if we propose doubling. There is a sliding scale right now. Pizel: “Don’t be so cheap.” Zipp: We have a low income license available. Are we communicating about it? Pribyl: Encourages inclusion in drafting process: (1) Language the gives Commission flexibility and authority to experiment with a point based resident fee system if it chooses to without parameters the overall cap. (2) 60% cap in 6 years, 100% cap in 8-10 years. No reason to negotiate with ourselves and give away anything on the front end. Every reason to ask for everything that fulfills the good of the agency. Vilsack: Keep in mind that soon it will become the sponsor’s bill. Zipp: What outreach are we doing? We need to communicate what we do now and what we want to do in the future. Vilsack: Need to get a bill moving. Financial Update: Justin Rutter 1 13 12 Vigil: Will we have year end reports at fiscal year end? [Yes.] Interested in working capital reports.

15 Check Out CO State Parks – Library Partnership: Tony Gurzick, Beth Crist 0 13 14 Pribyl: Excellent Program. 16 IPAWS Timeline: Gary Thorson 0 28 01 Vigil: What was the main problem? Chick: This is a complicated system and CORE side wasn’t integrating with Active side. Pribyl: Active has developed a product based on our needs and wants and we subsidized design and creation of. Active may now receive economic benefit of sharing with other states…are we going to receive any royalty from developing the product? [Thorson – we are capitalizing off of and benefitted from the work of other States] If we subsidized the intellectual property, CPW should benefit, shouldn’t it? [Depends on contract language.] 5 17 GOCO Update: Emily Orbanek, Linda Strand 0 40 55 Castilian: After being appointed as the Executive Director of GOCO effective Monday, resigns from Commission effective the end of the meeting. Pribyl: Thanks Castilian for years of service. What’s the status of “audit?” What is the CPW implication? [Rutter:DRAFT No initial findings. Still in process.] Is CPW a target? Orbanek: In the final stages of the report and it will be out mid-June. Broscheid: Looking at how we budget and spend and overall efficiency. Will have recommendations about how we can be more efficient. Pribyl: Appoints Zimmerman to GOCO board representing Outdoor Recreation. Need to replace at CNAP liaison in May. 18 State Fleet Report: Heather Dugan, Shawn Hermosillo 1 19 03 Vigil: Unacceptable that it takes 2 years to replace vehicles that have over 200k miles on it. Our LE need better vehicles. [100% Agrees]. Concerned with liability and danger to our employees. Is there a fix for the issues we face since CPW can’t fix it? Randall: This is a conversation we have regularly. We can push the issue to DPA. *** RECESS *** 10:10 am *** RECONVENE *** 10:25 am 19 2017 RFP Priorities and Budget: Amanda Nims 0 00 00 Zimmerman: Why is the habitat spending up to $9.3 million? If we got more, where would that money go? [Taylor: There are projects that we’re looking into that offer flexibility. We need a set amount so that we can discuss with public. We need to decide where we’re going with the RFP program.] Priority Process? Who prepares them? [Broscheid: Recommends not moving forward with RFP this year. Public access is #1 priority.] It really bothers her that habitat is not a priority and we’re saying no fee-title because of CDC. Feels like we’re tying hands and feet behind back. Funds are not tax dollars and they are from Habitat Stamp (legislatively created for Habitat Conservation). Broscheid: If RFP Process gets shelved, we can still find access. There are other ways that we can look at finding the use of the Habitat Stamp. Stern warnings from CDC against fee title. Encourages shelving RFP Program for a year. Need to maintain this as a tool, however rules and priorities have changed with the CDC. Need to focus on what we can do, limitations on HS, GOCO Commitments, fee bill, Legislation on tax credits….this has turned into a complex situation. HS monies are appropriated to conservation and then CDC reviews and comments – they are two separate processes. Pribyl: Clarification the CDC role is “advisory”. What happens to the money if we don’t move forward? Broscheid: Money stays in the account until PWC authorizes agency to expend. Pribyl: Could make a case that we are doing a disservice to the sportsmen by not spending their contribution. Bray: Are we proposing to shut down entire process or are we still taking applications? Broscheid: CPW suggestion is to pause entire program for a while and next step is to discuss what to do with the money. Bray: We have plenty of existing capital that needs O&M. Supportive of pausing the program to utilize these funds to fix where things are broken now. Broscheid: Can come back with options and alternatives on how to spend funds. Pribyl: How much can we spend on O&M? Reaction and ideas of the conservation community NGO Partners? Want to get passed legislative session. Colliding statutory obligations and principles. Obligation to sportsmen. Obligation to GOCO to spend the money. Need a full exploration of the options. Pizel: Collaborating with our partners is important. Legislature isn’t hearing from the people and our partners. Get a collaborative group to carry the message. Need to decide “where do we go from here?” How does CPW/GOCO tell the public affected by CDC decisions? Pribyl: Clarification that this is not affect previously Commission approved projects. Zimmerman: There are a lot of moving parts. We already have projects we’re working on. 2 years from now, it could be a different CDC. Broscheid: The bar is high for previously approved projects. Need to evaluate projects that are moving forward now. Do we want to continue? Some projects we probably don’t want to bring forward. Pribyl: Public plea to our partners for them to be engaged in the legislative process and general assembly with what we’re trying to do. Pizel: Can’t jeopardize our fee bill to move this forward. Should have brought CDC into conversation earlier to 6 make sure everyone is on the same page. Pribyl: Suggests we take no action until staff can come back with alternatives to spending. [Broscheid: Will come back ASAP.] In no way do we want to harm or jeopardize the sustainability situation. Can’t ignore other obligations. We have the obligation to do what’s right. Pizel: Why are we waiting to make a decision? Pribyl and Zimmerman: To know what our options and potential impacts might be. Zipp: PWC needs to know what other things we can spend the money on and what happens to it if we don’t spend the money. Doesn’t feel comfortable voting down until PWC has information. Suggests an April meeting. Pizel: Is there anything Broscheid could bring that would change our minds that we need to pull the program? Zimmerman: What do we get if we table the 2017 RFPs? What’s in it for us? Broscheid: The message that the Commission and the agency are listening to what legislators are saying. This is the number one concern for legislators who contend the financial sustainability bill. Pribyl: Does the CDC understand the effect on the conservation community? We’re not close enough to the general assembly to supplement his judgement for Broscheid and Randal. Are we sure we’re not negotiating with ourselves here and competing with ourselves? Are we sure we’re not just giving away the farm? [NO!] Bray: Confident we can use a lot of this money on O&M. Sends the message that we’re listening. Pizel: Maybe we needed to be told to step back. Pribyl: Does not know that there needs to be a vote since it’s not a regulation or resolution. “If that’s what you want, you should have been, maybe more…you need to declare that you want a public resolution of that nature.” There are several members who have expressed a need for more information on how these funds can be used if we don’t do an RFP program. Want to be fully supportive of the legislative agenda. Broscheid: We need a vote. We need to send a clear message. We can come back with ideas on how to utilize that money. DRAFT Motion: 1. We suspend the 2017 RFP Program. 2. Wish to hear from staff on a full range of options or alternatives on how these revenues (both GOCO and HS) can be spent in this cycle at next meeting. 3. Fully engage conservation partners (any organization that has made an application in the last 10 years) in educating the public and Gen Assembly on our commitment to conserving land and water and wildlife habitat in Colorado. Get our message out.
Zipp: Wants to know of potential impacts and risks to funding sources. Monahan: Funds sources are not at risk. HS stamps funds are statutorily controlled. GOCO funding has 4 sub- quadrants in W and P. Those monies can only be spent on those purposes. Funds will be spent in abeyance. GOCO spending is an “over time” approach won’t cause a violation to the constitutional GOCO. Denny Behrens: Big Game Forever. Iterates HS money is critical for habitat restoration for corridors in winter ranges. Post on website. Make sure that sportsmen are aware of why 2017 RFP isn’t happening. Bray: HS is not just about acquisition. Is O&M a priority to sportsmen? Behrens: In some ways it is. Cautions on how much of that money goes to O&M. Pribyl: We need to know how sportsmen expect money to be spent. Behrens: Not a bad idea for key sportsmen to go talk to legislatures. Orbanek: GOCO has banked wildlife capital dollars to build up funds for future projects and will continue to think about creative approaches going forward. Suzanne O’Neail: CWF. Agree with Denny Behrens. Will be contacting legislators really quickly. Didn’t realize there was a problem. Dan Gates: CTA. Sits on HS Committee. Conversation held indicate that groups don’t really know where money comes from or where they’ve gone. Needs to be a collaborative effort internally to get message across. Sportsmen don’t know what the HS money is used for. Would like to see a defined messaged from individual groups that they can distribute to others about where the money came from and where it’s going. Needs a clear message from CPW.

3. Requested dates for hunting events must occur between August 15 and January 31 each year, with preferred dates occurring during an existing season for the requested species. However, alternate dates may be approved by the Director on a case-by-case basis as an applicant’s condition requires.
4. Written landowner permission must be obtained prior to issuance of a license under this subsection if the individual will be hunting on private land.
5. Except on private land, licenses in game management units with at least one hunt code requiring 10 or more resident preference points to draw, excluding Ranching for Wildlife properties, will not be authorized for use under this subsection. DRAFTi. Preference Points and Chances 1. Preference will be given for qualifying applications for first choice hunt codes only and shall be subject to the following provisions:
aa. Deer, Elk, Pronghorn, and Bear: one preference point will be awarded to each person who qualifies for and fails to draw a limited license for deer, elk, pronghorn, or bear as a first choice in the regular drawing or who applies using a first choice hunt code established for the purpose of accumulating a preference point only.
18 Preference points will be used in future drawings for the same species and will accumulate until the applicant obtains a first choice license. When an applicant obtains a first choice license, all accumulated preference points for that species become void. If an applicant both fails to apply for a species and has not purchased a license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for that species become void. If an applicant accepts a first choice license that has been returned and reissued manually, all accumulated preference points for that species become void. No preference points are required for purchasing a returned license placed on the leftover list. In those hunt codes requiring 10 or more resident preference points to draw, up to 20 percent of available licenses for deer, elk, pronghorn and bear shall be issued through a random drawing. The number of preference points required to draw shall be determined by a three- year average for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 limited license draws. A minimum of five individual preference points is required for an applicant to participate in the random drawing. Group applications shall not be eligible to participate in the random drawing.
bb. In addition to the $3 application fee, an unsuccessful applicant (except youth as defined by 33-4-117 C.R.S., lifetime license holders, and Colorado resident military personnel on active duty outside Colorado), or one who applies using a first choice hunt code established for the purpose of accumulating a preference point only, for deer, elk, pronghorn or bear will be assessed a $40 fee ($30 for resident deer and pronghorn) to receive a preference point unless they have purchased one of the following: an annual license (fishing (including free senior annual), small game or resident combination small game/fishing license, furbearer) for the year previous to which they are seeking a preference point; any big game license for the previous year or a current draw license for the species for which they are seeking a preference point. The fee, per species, shall entitle the hunter to preference points for any unsuccessful deer, elk, pronghorn or bear application in that year.
cc. Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, and Moose: One preference point will be awarded to each person who qualifies for and fails to draw a first choice license, until three preference points have been accumulated. Each time an applicant with three (3) points qualifies for and fails to draw a first choice license for rocky mountain bighorn sheep, mountain goat or moose the applicant will be awarded one (1) weighted preference point to be used in future drawings for that species. Applicants with at least three (3) preference points or any number of weighted preference points will be given weighted preference during the license drawings for each DRAFTapplicable species. Weighted preference is calculated by converting the applicant’s original application number into a new random application number, then dividing that random application number by the number of weighted preference points the applicant currently has for that species plus one. The resulting number is the applicant’s final and only application number. Final application numbers are sorted from lowest number to highest number, with licenses awarded to applicants starting on the top of the list (lowest number), working down the list until no licenses for that species remain. When an applicant obtains a first choice license, all accumulated preference
19 points for that species become void. If an applicant both fails to apply for a species and has not purchased a license for that same species during any given 10-year period, all accumulated preference points for that species become void. If an applicant accepts a first choice license that has been returned and reissued, all accumulated preference points for that species become void.
dd. Applications receiving preference points will be given priority over all applications with fewer points. Group applications will receive preference at the level of the group member with the fewest accumulated preference points, and, where applicable, the fewest accumulated chances, except that group applications will not be successful, regardless of preference point level or number of chances, when there are fewer licenses remaining in the hunt code quota than the number of applicants in the group.
ee. In lieu of applying through the regular limited license draw, any active duty member of the United States Armed Forces who is stationed at any military facility in Colorado and actively deployed outside the United States, or any active duty member of the United States Armed Forces who is a Colorado resident and is deployed outside the United States, shall, upon their return to the United States, be eligible to apply for preference points for any limited license draw that occurred during their absence. Applications for preference points shall be made on forms provided by the Division and filed within six months upon the member’s return to the United States.
5. Drawing Processes
a. Applications using landowner preference and youth preference shall be drawn, in that order, prior to drawing general public applications for the same species.
b. Except as otherwise provided, applicants who applied properly for deer, elk, or pronghorn in the regular drawing and are unsuccessful will be given an option to: Apply for a leftover drawing. Request a refund. Donate that refund to the Division's nongame or Operation Game Thief fund. No such donation may be split between the two funds. Request an unlimited antlered elk license.
c. Unsuccessful applicants for bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, or moose will receive a refund check.
d. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified of their accumulated preference points and chances on their refund check stub, on their leftover drawing letter, or on their carcass tag, whichever is applicable. DRAFTe. Nonresident hunter drawing limitations (first choice applications only) 1. Nonresidents hunters shall receive no more than 10% of available moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat licenses for all hunt codes. In the event there are an insufficient number of nonresident applications for the allocated number of moose, bighorn sheep or mountain goat licenses in any hunt code, the excess nonresident licenses will be issued to residents through the regular drawing process. These drawing limitations do not apply to the issuance of Bighorn Sheep Access Program (BSAP) licenses.
20 2. Unless there is an insufficient number of resident applications, nonresident hunters shall receive no more than 35% of available deer and elk licenses for hunt codes requiring fewer than six preference points for resident hunters to draw in the regular drawing, and no more than 20% of available deer and elk licenses for hunt codes requiring six or more preference points for resident hunters to draw in the regular drawing as calculated using a three-year average for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 limited license draws. These drawing limitations do not apply to the issuance of Private Land Only and Ranching for Wildlife licenses.
6. Leftover Licenses, Drawing Provisions and Restrictions
a. Elk, deer, pronghorn and bear licenses which are not issued through the regular drawing will be issued as "leftover" licenses, (through one "leftover" drawing process if the number of "leftover" licenses is sufficient to justify the administrative cost).

#211- BIGHORN SHEEP ACCESS PROGRAM
A. Implementation Authority
1. The Director is authorized to implement the Bighorn Sheep Access Program (BSAP), including the authority to determine private land enrollment status, enter into cooperative agreements with legal landowners, establish and modify public and private season dates on each property, and establish and modify license allocations to each property including the subsequent distribution of licenses to the public and private share, and may establish additional BSAP operating guidelines subject to the following provisions. All new or renewed contracts must be signed by the Director by October 15 in order to participate in the program the following year.
B. Property Enrollment Constraints
1. Properties must have a minimum of 5,000 acres of privately owned land.
2.

C. Cooperative Agreements, Enrollment, Termination of Enrollment
1. The Division is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with private property owners. Multiple private property owners may participate in the program under a single contract as long as all legal owners agree to the same terms and requirements.
2. The Division shall establish minimum performance standards or requirements for properties enrolled in the program. Such performance standards shall be incorporated into the cooperative agreement with each property owner(s). Each cooperative agreement will include an option to renew at the end of the contract period if agreed to by both the Division and private landowner.
3. Each cooperative agreement will also contain a termination clause. Potential termination will be based on public hunter satisfaction that is within the control of the property owner or manager. No future private ram licenses will be allocated to a property after their contract is terminated.

4. Enrolled properties with a sustainable Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep population already present will have the choice between two license distribution options (option A or B). In order to receive the license allocation percentages listed in option B, a competent, skilled guide will be provided for free to the public ram hunter. The guide must be competent and DRAFTknowledgeable of the property and of bighorn sheep behavior and use patterns on the property. The guide provided to the public ram hunter must be the same guide provided to the private ram hunter, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Division. In order to receive the license allocation percentages listed in option A, each public sheep hunter will receive free access to the property and a free area for camping if the property is located 40 minutes or more from public accommodations.

33 interest must be submitted in writing to the local district wildlife manager by April 1 annually. If the Division approves the transplant and property enrollment, the Division and landowner will share the costs of the trap and transplant operation. When the Division and property owner determine that the transplanted herd can sustain hunting harvest, the property will be opened to hunting under option C. Properties enrolled in the BSAP under option C will be enrolled for a 10-year period with bighorn sheep ram licenses being issued at a 1:1 public/private ratio during that period.

#229 - SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING BIGHORN SHEEP, MOUNTAIN GOAT, MOOSE, DEER, ELK, AND PRONGHORN LICENSES AUTHORIZED BY AUCTION OR COMPETITIVE RAFFLE
See also §§33-4-116 through 116.5, C.R.S., concerning statutes for these auctions and raffles
A. Conduct of the Auction or Raffle. Any organization selected to conduct a license auction or raffle for the Wildlife Commission shall abide by the following rules:
1. General a. All auctions and raffles shall be carried out in accordance with applicable Colorado and Federal laws and the laws of the state where such auction or raffle is held. In the event the auction is held outside of Colorado and there is a conflict between Colorado and local laws, such conflict will be resolved in accordance with applicable principles of conflict of laws; provided the requirements of this regulation must be complied with. b. Unless their hunting license privilege is revoked or under suspension pursuant to the law of any state or country, any person, without regard to resident status or citizenship, is eligible to bid at competitive auction or to participate in any raffle for any license authorized by the Commission. c. Except as provided herein, auction and raffle licenses are non-transferable and shall be issued only to the winner of a raffle and the highest bidder at an auction. The highest bidder in any auction may give the license as a gift to another person provided written designation of such person is received by the Director at least 30 days prior to the opening of the season. Further, the Director may authorize a transfer of an auction or raffle license prior to the opening of the season due to death or medical incapacity of the holder of any auction or raffle license. d. Funds received by a conservation organization which conducts any auction for the Commission and due the Division shall be paid to the Division within 60 days after the auction and at least 30 days prior to the opening of the season. Funds received by a conservation organization which conducts any raffle for the Commission and due the Division shall be paid to the Division within 90 days after the raffle. No license shall be issued until such funds are received by the Division. e. The conservation organization shall ensure no discrimination against any person on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sex, age (except as required DRAFTby Colorado raffle statutes), marital status or physical handicap. 2.

Accept payment by legal tender, cashier’s check, certified check or major credit card. h. Provide appropriate Colorado hunting regulations and other information to potential bidders and other interested parties at least 10 days prior to the auction upon a request basis and to any in attendance immediately prior to and during the auction. i. Make award to the highest bidder, but maintain a record of the second highest bidder in case of payment default or other contingency. j. Conduct the auction in accordance with auction procedures established and announced at the start of the auction, including, but not limited to, re-bidding procedures. In the case of any dispute, the auctioneer shall make the final determination as to the highest competitive bid. In the event of a tie, the auctioneer may reopen the bidding of those two bidders to determining the highest bidder. The auctioneer has the sole discretion to advance the bidding and may reject a nominal or fractional advance over the preceding bid. The auctioneer may refuse any bid for reasonable cause. 3. Raffle a. Procedures for issuing and collecting raffle tickets and related funds, the location, date and approximate time of a random drawing and all other procedures pertaining to the raffle shall be published and made available upon request at least three (3) months prior to any drawing or award. b. Any raffle drawing shall be conducted at a meeting of a conservation organization open to general public attendance. The location, date and time of such meeting must be advertised at least 30 days in advance. c. Raffle tickets shall be available for a value of not more than $25.00 each, and the same name shall not appear on more than 25 tickets. d.

B. Auction and Raffle Licenses
1. Licenses issued by auction or raffle shall permit the taking of one animal of either sex, as defined or specified by unit or season in this chapter; except as otherwise provided in these regulations. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep licenses are not valid for desert bighorn sheep. 2. All licenses issued as a product of a competitive auction or raffle shall be written at the Division headquarters. 3. There shall be no refund of any monies collected through auction or raffle. 4. Licenses for each species shall be valid on a unit-by-unit basis from the first open season in a unit for that species after August 1 through December 31, except as provided in regulation #210(D)(5)(a), #220(E), #228(C) or #4(a) below. Licenses are not valid in units, or portions of units, that do not have an open season for that species. An open DRAFTseason is any season in which licenses are issued by the Division for the species in question by drawing, over the counter, or in a Special Management License unit for bighorn sheep or mountain goat, upon request from an Auction and Raffle hunter as approved by the Division. Provided further, and except as otherwise provided herein, auction and raffle licensees must comply with all other unit specific restrictions provided by these regulations. a. Licenses for deer shall be valid on a unit-by-unit basis from the first open deer season in a unit after August 1 through November 30 or the last day of the last open antlered or either-sex deer season in a unit, whichever comes later.
44 5. For sheep, goat and moose, manner of take must be consistent with manner of take restrictions for any ongoing open season, or if no open season is ongoing, restricted to the manners of take allowed in the unit or part of a unit. 6. For deer, elk, and pronghorn, any manner of take legal for that species can be used during the period the license is valid, except pronghorn licenses are valid by archery before the last Saturday in August. 7. Licenses will be valid for one year only and only in accordance with applicable provisions of this chapter and other appropriate regulations of the Commission, unless otherwise provided herein. 8. Prior to hunting, all holders of auction and raffle licenses shall provide the Division with the following information: a. Anticipated hunting areas, including GMUs and nearest towns. b. Vehicle descriptions. c. Intended methods of take. 9. All auction and raffle hunters shall complete and return a harvest questionnaire provided by the Division within 30 days after the close of their final hunting season. All wildlife harvested through the use of an auction or raffle license shall be presented to and inspected by an employee of the Division on or before the 5th working day after the taking thereof. Failure to present harvested wildlife for inspection as required by this regulation shall make the licensee ineligible for future licenses for that species in Colorado.
C. Expenditure of Auction and Raffle Proceeds
1. A Project Advisory Committee (PAC) shall be established for each species qualifying for auction and raffle licenses. Each PAC shall be made up of a spokesperson representative from each nonprofit, conservation organization selling an auction or raffle license for that species and a spokesperson representative of the Division.

#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 huntersDRAFT 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.
143 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, 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 15, 2017, held under the direct supervision of the area wildlife manager. DRAFT

Game damage hunts are limited to a maximum of 50 licenses per species per Game Management Unit or 30 percent of the antlerless, either-sex, or doe licenses issued for the DAU (whichever is greater), unless a distribution management plan establishing a different percentage has been approved by the Parks and Wildlife Commission or additional permits are approved by the Director or his designee.
b. On private lands and Russell Lakes, Rio Grande and Higel State Wildlife Areas, the Area Wildlife Manager (AWM) is authorized to conduct these seasons based upon the following criteria: DRAFT1. The AWM finds that such a season would be consistent with the distribution management plan approved by the Parks and Wildlife Commission.
2. When there is no approved distribution management plan, the AWM finds that a season will reduce or eliminate damage for which the Division is liable, and that holding a season would be desirable considering
aa. The species and number of animals involved.
160 bb. The number of animals that would have to be removed to reduce or eliminate damage.
cc. The location of the damage problem.
dd. The type and extent of damage.
ee. The time of year and its relationship to the life history of the animals.

d. Hunting will be done under the direction of a District Wildlife Manager, following DRAFTapproval by the owner of land where such damage is occurring. e. Hunters shall hunt in designated areas and on the dates indicated on the license.
1. A map or a written description of the designated area open to hunting (which would include, but would not be limited to landowner(s) name, game management unit, township, range and section(s) and/or identifica- tion of landmarks such as roads, rivers, or fence lines which coincide with boundaries), will be provided to each licensed hunter by the Division.
161 f. Any person who purchases a license for a game damage season shall be required to complete a Division harvest survey form and return it to the Area office that is nearest the location of the hunt no later than 5 days after the season ends.
C. Special Game Damage Licenses for Bear and Mountain Lion
1. The Director shall have the authority to establish special hunting licenses for mountain lion and bear, which allow for take in excess of the otherwise applicable limited license numbers or quotas, when necessary to control damage to private property.
a. AWMs are authorized to issue these bear and mountain lion licenses to address specific animals determined after an investigation to be causing damage to private property.
1. Bear or mountain lion licenses above the established limited license numbers or quota for the area may be issued only where necessary to take specific animals determined after an investigation to be causing damage to private property.

DRAFT
7 FILING - 3/21/2017 Basis and Purpose Chapter W-5 - Migratory Birds
Basis and Purpose:
These proposed regulations reflect the upcoming 2017-2018 migratory bird seasons and are the result of an annual review of the entire chapter related to migratory birds. The established seasons are necessary to properly manage migratory bird populations in Colorado in accordance with federal laws regulating migratory birds. These regulations allow migratory birds to be harvested in a manner which helps maintain the biological integrity of the migratory bird population while at the same time providing recreational opportunity for hunters and wildlife viewers. The regulations are also consistent with Federal guidelines provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
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 MAY 1, 2017 AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL REPEALED, AMENDED OR SUPERSEDED.

DRAFT
78 FILING - 3/21/2017 Basis and Purpose Chapter W-9 - Wildlife Properties
Basis and Purpose:
Falconry Clarifications Previously, several of our property regulations stated that hunting was restricted to certain methods of take such as archery and muzzleloading. The intent of these regulations was mainly to prohibit the use of rifles for safety reasons. However, the unintended consequence was that the language also prohibited hunting with falconry birds. These clean-ups to regulations clarify that falconry is another acceptable form of hunting on State Wildlife Areas.
“Regular Big Game Seasons” Language Clarification Recently the question was raised regarding how we define “regular big game seasons” throughout Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations. Hunt code tables in Chapter W-2 use the terminology “regular” for the majority of our archery, muzzleloader, rifle and plains rifle big game licenses. For consistency sake, “regular big game seasons” will now be defined by referencing those applicable hunt codes/tables.
Property regulations in Chapter W-9 were specifically reviewed which utilized this terminology. If the original intent of the regulation did not match our new classification of “regular big game seasons”, additional regulatory language was added to clarify and match the intent.
Seasonal Closure Date Change on Almont Triangle State Wildlife Area (SWA) Almont Triangle SWA consists of about 640 acres of critical winter range for bighorn sheep, elk, and mule deer. It also provides critical habitat for Gunnison sage grouse, a "threatened" species protected under the Endangered Species Act. It borders Roaring Judy State Fish Unit and private property to the north, USFS land to the east and south, and state Hwy 135 to the west. The adjacent USFS land has a winter range closure to all human activities from Dec 1 to May 15. With increasing public interest in shed antler collecting, and other recreation such as hiking and mountain biking, animals are being disturbed and pushed from their winter range too early. Synchronizing the Almont Triangle SWA closure with the existing USFS Almont Triangle closure will not only be beneficial to wintering herds, but should clear up public confusion by providing area consistency.
New Regulations for Cerro Summit SWA/ Removal of Chipeta Lake CPW recently acquired a perpetual easement from the City of Montrose for a 162-acre parcel which includes Montrose Reservoir, in a land exchange for Chipeta Lake State Wildlife Area (SWA). Montrose Reservoir is located about 12 miles east of Montrose, Colorado and is now a new state wildlife area known as Cerro Summit SWA. The new SWA will provide the public with a new fishery as well as small game, waterfowl and big game hunting opportunities. Due to considerations for water quality and for the preservation of this small hunting area, public access will be limited to hunters and fishermen only. These new regulations also reflect the agreed upon stipulations through negotiations with the City of Montrose to allow access to Montrose Reservoir. These regulations are similar to those required by other municipal water sources in the state that have allowed public fishing.
Hunting RestrictionsDRAFT on Gunnison River SWA The City of Gunnison has continued to grow since the acquisition of this property and easement(s). With more recreation and development occurring in close proximity to this SWA, it was prudent to modify the regulations relative to hunting, firearms, and bows. There is no longer any legitimate, safe hunting opportunity on the Redden easement. However, managers feel that waterfowl hunting using shotguns or by falconry could be accommodated on the Van Tuyl portion of the SWA. Very little other hunting opportunity exists on these parcels and from a safety standpoint; the discharge of firearms and/or bows is not warranted due to the close proximity to town.
Seasonal Access Restrictions on Gunnison SWA
1 During recent years this property has seen increased use by the public, particularly in the spring and early summer, including some uses that are detrimental to the property. Late night parties, littering, use of fireworks, and vandalism have become recurring issues. These new seasonal hour and camping restrictions allow continued public use by sportsmen/women including early morning/late evening access but should reduce undesired activities and potential damage to resources/facilities.
New Required Permit at Lake Deweese SWA Lake Deweese has also seen an increase in violations over the past few years. Violations include parties, increased trash, cutting of trees, homeless impacts, users staying beyond the 14 day maximum, and off road use, all of which have impacted the resource tremendously. In an effort to protect the resources of the property and improve visitor safety, a new $36 annual permit will be required for anyone 18 to 64 that does not have a fishing or hunting license. This permit is intended to discourage use of the property for non-wildlife related recreation.
Prohibiting Fires at Loma Boat Launch SWA The Loma Boat Launch SWA located along the Colorado River west of Grand Junction receives heavy use by boaters, fishermen, and the general public. Increasingly, users were building fires on the beach, using pallets, native vegetation, etc. and burning cans, plastic, glass and other trash. The fire residue often contained nails, broken glass, and other materials that lead to flat tires, cut feet, and other hazards. Windblown sparks from fires also endangered the adjoining private property. Therefore for safety reasons, fires are now prohibited at Loma Boat Launch SWA.
Change in Management of San Luis State Park The property on which San Luis State Park was previously located is owned by the Colorado State Land Board (SLB). Roughly the southern half of the property, including the majority of San Luis Lake itself, was managed as a State Park as a satellite facility associated with Lathrop State Park. The northern half was managed as a State Wildlife Area by the local wildlife office in Monte Vista. These regulations change management of the entire property by converting the State Park portion into a State Wildlife Area. Combining property management will help centralize the wildlife, recreation and water management within one organizational unit and provide consistency and cost efficiency.
Additionally, a new access permit is being established. As a State Park, visitors to San Luis were required to have a daily access permit (or an annual parks pass) and a daily camping fee (if camping). Now that the area will be managed as a State Wildlife Area, an annual $36 access permit will be required instead to pay for amenities including electric hook-ups. Anyone under 18, over 64, or those individuals who hold a current and valid hunting or fishing license will not be required to have the annual access permit.
Clarification on Sapinero SWA Snowmobile Regulations Previous snowmobile regulations on Sapinero SWA led to public confusion since this SWA encompasses segments of two public roads that provide access to large tracts of adjacent US Forest Service lands. While this SWA was acquired to protect wintering big game, the agency does not want to block off public access to the adjacent USFS lands. Therefore, regulation clarification was needed to allow through traffic restricted to the main roadways, while minimizing disturbance to wintering big game.
New Yarmony Ranch Fishing Regulations on the Illinois River In December of 2016, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) closed on a real estate agreement that provides for publicDRAFT fishing access to the Illinois River on the Yarmony Ranch State Wildlife Area in Jackson County. Special regulations on all of the public access river leases in Jackson County are fishing by artificial fly and lure only with a bag and possession limit of two trout. In order to prevent potential overharvest of the fishery and maintain consistency in regulations on the leases in North Park, the same regulations have been placed on the theYarmony Ranch section of the Illinois River as well. Similarly, public access will be limited to fishing only.
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 and 33-1-107, C.R.S.

54 FILING - 3/21/2017 Basis and Purpose Chapter W-1 - Fishing
Basis and Purpose:
New Yarmony Ranch Fishing Regulations on the Illinois River In December of 2016, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) closed on a real estate agreement that provides for public fishing access to the Illinois River on the Yarmony Ranch State Wildlife Area in Jackson County. The special regulations on all of the public access river leases in Jackson County are fishing by artificial fly and lure only with a bag and possession limit of two trout. In order to prevent potential overharvest of the fishery and maintain consistency in regulations on the leases in North Park, the same regulations have been placed on the the Yarmony Ranch SWA section of the Illinois River as well. Similarly, public access will be limited to fishing only.
New Fishing Regulations for Cerro Summit (Montrose) Reservoir CPW recently acquired a perpetual easement from the City of Montrose for a 162-acre parcel which includes Montrose Reservoir, in a land exchange for Chipeta Lake State Wildlife Area (SWA). Montrose Reservoir is located about 12 miles east of Montrose, Colorado and is now a new state wildlife area known as Cerro Summit SWA. The new SWA will provide the public with a new fishery as well as small game, waterfowl and big game hunting opportunities. Due to considerations for water quality and for the preservation of this small hunting area, public access will be limited to hunters and fishermen only. These new regulations also reflect the agreed upon stipulations through negotiations with the City of Montrose to allow access to Montrose Reservoir.

1 Attachment 5 27 (A) Consent Agenda Proposed Parks and Wildlife Commission Consent Agenda March 1-2, 2017
In order to increase the Parks and Wildlife Commission’s efficiency and allow more time for consideration of wildlife policy and contested issues, the listed items are noticed for action by the Commission as part of the March 2017 “Consent Agenda.”
Note: The process for placing matters on the Consent Agenda is as follows: The Director identifies matters where the recommended action follows established policy or precedent, there has been agreement reached or the matter is expected to be uncontested and non-controversial. Staff will provide written memos to the Parks and Wildlife Commission members explaining the matters on the Consent Agenda. Copies of the memos will be available to the public.
Matters on the Consent Agenda are noticed for hearing at the same time and in the same manner as other agenda items. If a member of the Commission requests further consideration of an item on the consent agenda, that item will be withdrawn from the Consent Agenda and discussed and acted upon as determined by the Commission. The Consent Agenda may be voted on without the necessity of reading individual items. Any Commission member may request clarification from the Director for any matter on the Consent Agenda.
