Southeast Regional Sportspersons Caucus Meeting

Changes to the Big Game Draw, recently adopted by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission and set to take effect in 2028, will highlight discussions at the CPW Southeast Region Sportspersons’ Caucus scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, Feb. 10, at the region headquarters.

Region Manager Frank McGee and CPW staff will outline the policy changes, which are designed to simplify the draw and more strongly favor Colorado resident hunters. The changes will impact how hunters will apply for big game hunting licenses in Colorado.

Another CPW Commission decision likely to spark hunter interest relates to a new policy aimed at stemming preference point creep.

“These were significant changes made by the commission at its January meeting and we want to make sure everyone understands them,” McGee said.

The caucus agenda also includes an update from CPW biologists on agency efforts to reintroduce lesser prairie chickens in far southeast Colorado as well as the status of the fisheries in the region.

“Our agenda is packed and that’s why caucus meetings are important to attend,” McGee said. “Caucus meetings are key to CPW’s ongoing effort to involve and inform hunters, anglers and all other outdoor enthusiasts about our work. We want to make sure their questions and concerns are being answered and addressed.”

The Sportspersons’ Caucus is scheduled at 6 p.m., Monday, Feb. 10, at CPW’s Southeast Region offices in Colorado Springs and online, broadcast live via a Zoom webinar. 

The caucus will be co-hosted by Ron Goodrich and Roger Tucker, the region’s caucus delegates.
