New 2020 license fee increase forColorado

Postby saddlesore » 02 07, 2020 •  [Post 1]

As I predicted, CPW has raised all resident/Non resident license fees for 2020. Part of the 2019 legislation that increased resident license fees also permits CPW to raise fees every year without going back to the legislature .The increases are not much, a $ or so,but still an increase.We will undoubtedly see this every year now.

There is one good point.There will now be a Senior Combo Small Game/Fishing license for a little less than the regular small game

@ $670.25 plus the required small game license, it's very understandable why my Son and I alternate buying a license. One hunts and the other "guides". That plus skipping an occasional year to catch up with the PP's is our new "normal". Due to the PP creep, neither of us will ever be able to hunt anything other than 2nd season.
