The Wildlife Sporting license plate
Wildlife Sporting Plate
If you’re a Colorado sportsperson, hunting and fishing is more than a hobby or pastime—it’s a way of life. Now you can unite with other hunters and anglers in a display of pride and support by purchasing a Wildlife Sporting Plate for your vehicle. The proceeds from the plates go toward fish habitat, angling access and the development of public shooting ranges. Designed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the plates feature bold imagery highlighted against the snowy backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

The license plate was created with House Bill 12-1275.

Born to Be Wild License Plate Grant Program
Colorado House Bill 23-1265 created a new special license plate, raising funding for nonlethal ways of mitigating conflict with gray wolves. The Born to Be Wild License Plate Grant Program's goal is to raise awareness and promote the Born to Be Wild specialty license plate to engage and educate the public about the importance of the license plate, ultimately increasing sales to further support these vital conflict mitigation efforts.
The Born to Be Wild Plate grant program will award selected non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies.
