Colorado Parks and Wildlife seeks public input on potential big game regulations changes in Northwest Colorado

September 28, 2026

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking input on proposed changes to 13 potential big game regulations in Northwest Colorado. The public can learn more about the proposed changes and submit feedback using the Northwest Region Big Game Proposals Survey at Engage CPW. The survey is open to the public until Oct. 15.

“Public feedback plays an important role when we look at updating or creating new regulations,” said Northwest Region Senior Terrestrial Biologist Brad Banulis. “Hunter's feedback from these surveys will help us finalize the proposed changes and determine what will be presented to the Parks and Wildlife Commission during the November meeting.”

Potential proposed regulations include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Should the boundary of bighorn sheep GMU S44 be extended northward to include areas used by the S44 herd on the north side of Red Table Mountain?
  • Should List A antlerless elk licenses be changed to List B and OTC antlerless archery restored in E-2 (Bear’s Ears herd) and E-6 (White River herd)?
  • Should E14 (Grand Mesa herd) muzzleloader hunt codes be standardized with E14 archery hunt codes?
Proposed regulations chosen to move forward by staff will be presented to the Parks and Wildlife Commission as an informational item for the first time in November. The final regulations will be reviewed for adoption at the Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting in January. If approved, the changes will take effect for the 2027 hunting season.

Members of the public with questions about the survey or proposed regulation changes are encouraged to contact their local CPW Area Office.
