Colorado elk hunt code

E-E-010-O1-A

Either-sex elk · Archery · Unit 10 · Sept. 2–30 · List A

In the 2026 draw, 503 hunters put E-E-010-O1-A as their 1st choice for 15 licenses. Residents needed 24 points (56% of applicants at 24 drew); Nonresidents needed 32 points (50% of applicants at 32 drew).

Point creep is real here: residents needed 22 points in 2022 and 24 in 2026. Expect it to take more next year.

It is a hybrid-draw hunt: 2 licenses were 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.

From CPW's harvest survey estimates. Before 2025, CPW reported harvest by unit and season type, so earlier rows cover all hunters of this weapon and season in the unit, not only this hunt code.
