Colorado elk hunt code

E-E-001-O1-A

Either-sex elk · Archery · Unit 1 · Sept. 2–30 · List A

In the 2026 draw, 113 hunters put E-E-001-O1-A as their 1st choice for 5 licenses. Residents needed 18 points (33% of applicants at 18 drew); no nonresidents applicants drew.

Points needed have held fairly steady since 2022.

It is a hybrid-draw hunt: 1 license was drawn at random by residents with 5 or more points who listed it 1st — and they lose all their points.

“2nd choice” means every 1st-choice applicant drew and licenses went on to later choices. “Leftover” means licenses remained after the primary draw. The secondary draw (June) also re-offers unpaid and returned licenses; “unsold” ones went to the leftover sale in August. Secondary-draw data starts in 2021. A percentage is the share of applicants at the cutoff level who drew.
