Thanks to decades of dedicated conservation efforts, Colorado’s iconic bighorn sheep are once again abundant with an estimated statewide population of more than 7,000 animals. Today bighorn sheep are mostly restricted to foothills, canyons and high mountains. They do not pioneer new range or move to new habitats easily. In the last half of the 20th century, sheep management focused on restoring bighorn to their historic range by transplanting some from larger, stronger herds. Wildlife managers emphasize maintaining healthy populations by enhancing habitat and managing disease.

Colorado bear hunting licenses include limited bear licenses through the primary and secondary draw, over-the counter rifle bear licenses, or limited add-on bear licenses if you are also hunting deer or elk.
