         75. j. 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:
         76. a. Until January 1, 2028, 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. 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 rolling average for the previous three limited license draws with a one year lag. 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.

             Beginning January 1, 2028, 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 for a preference point only (no hunt codes) in the regular drawing. Preference points gained will be used in future drawings for the same species and will accumulate until the applicant obtains a first choice license. A split draw will be used in the regular drawing where the quota for each hunt code will be divided with half of the quota going to a preference point draw, and half going to a bonus draw. In the bonus draw, for every species preference point an applicant holds, the applicant will have one application entered into the bonus drawing, plus one.

             If the quota can’t be evenly split, the extra license will go to the preference point draw. If there is only a single license available, it will be issued through the preference point draw. When an applicant obtains a first choice license in the regular drawing, 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 or a point 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.

         77. b. Until January 1, 2028, 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 applicable 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 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.

      1. a. Compliance with ranch rules is a specific condition of the Ranching For Wildlife public licenses and subsequent access to the ranch. In addition to criminal penalties, non-compliance with ranch rules constitutes grounds for suspension and revocation of the license and/or being prohibited from further participation in hunting on the ranch, and/or in the Ranching For Wildlife program as a public hunter.
         1. b. Final determination on any legal action taken towards hunters found in non-compliance with ranch rules shall be made solely by officers of the Division. This includes any citation that may be issued for non-compliance with the provisions of a license, or directing a hunter to leave a ranch. Ranch personnel may not direct a hunter to leave a ranch without specific authorization of a Division officer.

#211 - BIGHORN SHEEP ACCESS PROGRAM A. Implementation Authority

1. 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. 1. Properties must have a minimum of 5,000 acres of privately owned land.
   1. 2. Except under the provisions of regulation #211(E)(5), there must be a sustainable population of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep that are predictably present on the private lands and at times for which public hunting seasons may be set. All sheep on the property must be a part of a single bighorn sheep herd (DAU). Land under contract may not cross sheep herd boundaries. At least 60% of the sheep herd within the bighorn sheep game management unit to be hunted must be located on private land or State Trust Land.
      1. 3. Properties may not charge public hunters an access fee for hunting.
         1. 4. Except as agreed to in writing by the Division, enrolled properties must provide for equality of access in terms of geographical area and mode of transportation for both public and private hunters. No closure or restriction of land or roads shall apply to public hunters that do not also apply to private hunters.
         2. 5. Public hunts must be established at a time when sheep are present and available for harvest. No public seasons shall be established during times when normal winter conditions would prevent access to most of the property, nor when normal migration patterns would result in sheep having migrated off the property.
         3. 6. Ranches that establish coinciding or overlapping public and private hunts may not exclude public hunters from any portion of the property due to the presence of private hunters.
         4. 7. The private landowner(s) will provide to each public hunter a property information packet which includes, but is not limited to, property maps showing access routes and camping areas, and landowner contact information.
         5. 8. Enrolled properties shall not be eligible for game damage payments or materials for damage caused by Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.

C. Cooperative Agreements, Enrollment, Termination of Enrollment

1. 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.
   1. 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.
      1. 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.

D. Season Structures, Manner of Take, License Restrictions

1. 1. Public and private seasons opening and closing date parameters a. Ram seasons may not begin before August 1 and may not extend beyond December 31.
   1. b. Ewe seasons may not begin before September 1 and may not extend beyond January 15.
      1. c. Public ram seasons shall always precede private ram seasons. When necessary for private and public seasons to be conducted in the same year, public ram seasons will occur prior to private seasons.
         1. 2. Private season length a. Private ram seasons shall not be less than 20 days nor greater than 60 days.
         2. 3. Public season length a. Public ram seasons shall be equal or greater in length to the private ram seasons, but not less than 30 days nor greater than 60 days. If multiple ram seasons are necessary to spread out hunting pressure, then season length may be shortened to not less than 20 days per season.
         3. b. Ewe seasons shall be not less than 10 days in length with no more than a 5 day overlap with public ram seasons.
         4. 4. Method of take for ram hunting will be hunter’s choice in accordance with regulation #203 of this chapter. Method of take for ewe hunting will be determined by contract negotiation.
         5. 5. License Restrictions a. BSAP licenses are the only licenses valid for hunting sheep on the property, except that auction and raffle licenses may be used when there is not a public season in progress on the property.

E. License Allocation

1. 1. Division staff recommendations regarding license allocations for each property shall be approved by the Director.
   1. 2. All ewe licenses allocated are public licenses. The Division shall determine if ewe hunting is needed or desired for sheep management on the property.
      1. 3. The public share of the licenses in the following distribution table represents the minimum number of licenses provided to the public. Fractions of licenses shall be rounded up for public distribution licenses. ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP Private Share of Licenses Public Share of Licenses % of total allocation to each % of total allocation to each enrolled property enrolled property Option Ram Ewe Ram Ewe A 67 0 33 100 B 75 0 25 100 C 50 0 50 100 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 knowledgeable 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. No free guiding services are provided under option A.
         1. 5. Option C is available for property owners who would like their land evaluated for bighorn sheep transplant or augmentation for inclusion in the BSAP under option C. Notice of 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. Prior to the transplant, the Division and the ranch will enter a cooperative agreement under option C. The cooperative agreement will extend 10 years beyond the time of transplant. The cooperative agreement may be amended to extend it for additional years if hunting was not initiated within the 10-year cooperative agreement period. When the Division and property owner determine that the herd can sustain hunting harvest, the original cooperative agreement will be amended to include provisions for season dates, licenses and any bighorn sheep habitat management plans agreed to by the landowner and the Division. When hunting is initiated, ram licenses will be issued at a 1:1 public/private ratio for 10 hunting seasons. After the 10 hunting seasons, the landowner may choose to withdraw from the program or re-enroll in a new contract under option A or B.
         2. 6. Public ram hunters will be allowed to bring a maximum of two additional non-hunting persons with them onto the property during their hunt. Ewe hunters will be allowed to bring a maximum of one additional non-hunting person with them onto the property during their hunt.
         3. 7. Landowners are not required to provide pre-draw or pre-season scouting access in any license allocation option.

F. License Distribution

1. 1. Applications a. Applications for private ram licenses stamped with the ranch name and season dates shall be available to the landowner for distribution.
   1. b. Public hunter licenses shall be available through application and selection from the Division during the annual limited license drawing process.

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.

1. 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. 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 hunters may exist and will be selected from a list of interested hunters.
   1. 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.
      1. 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.
         1. 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. 1. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) allows a limited number of elk hunters to access and hunt on the Alamosa (GMU 83), Baca (GMU 82) and Monte Vista (GMU 80) National Wildlife Refuges at any one time. An application and drawing process creates a hunter list for each season. USFWS and CPW will coordinate yearly to determine the maximum number of hunters that will be allowed at any one time in each refuge. The numbers decided upon will be based on a number of factors including elk densities, conflicts and behavior. As elk are harvested, hunters from the list are given permits to hunt. To be eligible for an access permit, hunters must hold an elk license that is valid for the season and refuge for which they wish to apply. The following seasons are currently open to permitted hunting on each of these refuges:
   1. a. Archery;
      1. b. Muzzleloader;
         1. c. First rifle;
         2. d. Second rifle;
         3. e. Third rifle;
         4. f. Fourth rifle.
         5. 2. To be entered into the drawing, eligible hunters must email the following address starting the day after left-over license day:

            montevista.wildlife@state.co.us. Hunters will receive an automatic email response with a link to the Refuge Access Permit Application Form. Hunters must provide the following information to apply:

         6. a. The hunter’s name, phone number and email address. The email address of another person will be accepted as long as the hunter can be contacted directly via the phone number provided.
         7. b. The hunter must have purchased a license that is valid for both the unit and the refuge prior to submitting the application.
         8. c. The hunt code for the license with which they wish to hunt.
         9. d. The hunter’s customer identification number (CID).

            Hunters will need to complete the Application Form and select the correct refuge for which their license is valid in order to be entered. Applications will be accepted for five days starting the day after the left-over license day. Permits will be issued via email after a random drawing held under the direct supervision of the area wildlife manager and no later than August 25.

Special Seasons ARTICLE XII – Special Hunting Seasons/Licenses for Big Game #271 – Big Game Animals Causing Damage and Big Game Populations Over Objective A. Special Population Management Seasons for Big Game Ungulates

1. 1. The Director shall have the authority to establish special management seasons for antlerless or female big game ungulates in specific game management units or portions thereof which significantly exceed the population objective, when the anticipated harvest from the current year’s archery, muzzle-loading and regular rifle seasons did not occur. Provided further that the Director shall have the authority to establish these hunts between November 16 and February 28, to specify a time period for each of these hunts but not to exceed ten days each, and shall authorize hunters to use designated unfilled big game licenses for these hunts and units.
   1. 2. The Director shall have the authority to allocate antlerless deer and/or elk licenses on existing Ranching for Wildlife properties located in game management units where deer or elk populations significantly exceed the population objective. These licenses shall be in addition to the number of licenses allocated to each ranch pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement established in #210(A)(2). The additional allocation and use of the antlerless licenses provided for in this section shall be allocated by season(s) and quota(s) established in the ranch’s respective Cooperative Agreement and subject to the following provisions:
      1. a. No ranch shall be required to accept any additional antlerless licenses.
         1. b. The public allocation of such additional antlerless licenses shall only be offered to hunters who have successfully drawn antlered, either-sex or antlerless licenses for the same species on the ranch. Public hunters who choose to purchase one additional antlerless license from the Division shall be required to use the additional license during the season established for the license for which they drew. No more than one additional antlerless license will be available to any public hunter.
         2. c. The allocation of such additional antlerless licenses for private seasons shall be equal to, and not to exceed, the total number of additional antlerless licenses allocated to public hunters.

B. Special Game Damage Seasons for Big Game Ungulates

1. 1. The Director shall have the authority to establish special hunting seasons for big game ungulates when necessary to control damage to property. Seasons shall be for the taking of antlerless or female animals unless the Director has determined that the taking of antlered or male animals is necessary to alleviate the damage. These seasons may occur year-round for male wild bison, between August 15 and January 31 for female wild bison, and between August 15 and February 28 for other ungulates.
   1. a. 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.
      1. 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:
         1. 1. The AWM finds that such a season would be consistent with the distribution management plan approved by the Parks and Wildlife Commission.
         2. 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 a. The species and number of animals involved.
         3. b. The number of animals that would have to be removed to reduce or eliminate damage.
         4. c. The location of the damage problem.
         5. d. The type and extent of damage.
         6. e. The time of year and its relationship to the life history of the animals.
         7. f. The length of time such damage will continue without big game removal.
         8. g. Management closures, hunting seasons and other public use.
         9. h. The effect on population objectives for the GMU and DAU.
         10. i. Whether landowner operations (e.g., harvesting) or critical wildlife biological activities (e.g., fawning) would be interrupted.
         11. j. Safety risks.
         12. k. Any other pertinent factors.
         13. 3. The Area Wildlife Manager shall provide the landowner with special application forms for distribution to individuals of their choice. Participants shall submit the completed application form with payment to the Division office indicated on the application.
         14. 4. In the event the landowner cannot secure enough people to effect an adequate harvest the Division can assist in locating individuals.
         15. c. The Division shall 1. Verify that damage or conflicts are occurring or can reasonably be anticipated to occur.
         16. 2. Designate what area shall be open to hunting.
         17. 3. Determine the manner of hunting that will be permitted.
         18. 4. Determine the number of hunters allowed to hunt in each designated area.
         19. d. Hunting will be done under the direction of a District Wildlife Manager, following approval by the owner of land where such damage is occurring.
         20. e. Hunters shall hunt in designated areas and on the dates indicated on the license.
         21. 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 identification of landmarks such as roads, rivers, or fence lines which coincide with boundaries), will be provided to each licensed hunter by the Division.
         22. 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. 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.
   1. 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.
