## Caption

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted Thursday to update the way Colorado awards most of its big game tags. ⁠
⁠
It’s the latest in a years-long policy review that has received plenty of public commentary and criticism. The draw changes, which take effect in 2028, are designed — in part — to combat point creep. Now, hunters who have already racked up preference points in Colorado are facing a moving goalpost. The biggest change to the annual application process is the elimination of Colorado’s hybrid draw system. CPW is replacing it with a split-draw model for all elk, deer, bear, pronghorn, and turkey tags. The available tags for each hunt will be divided evenly between two pools of applicants: Fifty percent will be distributed under a familiar preference point system, where hunters with the most preference have the best odds of drawing a tag. (Those hunters are usually the ones who have applied and waited the longest, thereby accruing the most preference points.) The other fifty percent of tags will be available through a bonus draw.⁠
