and there must be an antlerless hunt going on in the unit and season they wish to hunt.
3. PLAN AHEAD
To hunt deer or elk in the extended season, youth must buy a limited antlerless deer, antlerless elk or
either-sex elk license. If they dont fill their tag during the original season, they will be able to continue
hunting in certain areas of the state. Look at the maps on page 6 to make sure you purchase the original
deer or elk license within the area you intend to hunt during the extended season.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES
When participating in the extended season, youth MUST follow all the rules of hunting during the rifle
season, including wearing blaze orange or pink and using a method of take allowed in rifle season.
Youth must also follow all unit restrictions where they choose to hunt in the extended season, includ-
ing any private-land-only designations and any unit boundary restrictions.
PURCHASING & CONVERTING LICENSES

Youth must purchase their original license through the draw or from the leftover licenses list.
Either-sex elk licenses must be converted to an antlerless license at a CPW office if the original license is
unfilled and the youth wishes to continue hunting an antlerless animal.

DEER EXTENDED SEASON OPEN TO YOUTH

LICENSES
WHERE TO HUNT
DEER AND ELK
Youth may hunt in any area on the
map within the red boundary that
also contains the unit for which
they purchased their original
license. (Units with lines through
them and blank, white areas are not
open to extended-season hunting.)
Youth may only hunt the extended
season when an open antlerless
rifle hunt is going on in the unit
they choose to hunt.
FOR EXAMPLE:
An original license is purchased in
the draw for a youth to hunt either-
sex elk in unit 49 during archery
season.
The youth does not harvest during
archery season and takes the tag
to a CPW office to convert it to
antlerless.
The youth, accompanied by a mentor,
may continue to hunt during any
of the rifle seasons listed in this
brochure for units 49, 57 or 58, as
long as there is an antlerless season
in progress in the unit the youth
wants to hunt.
Look at the rifle elk tables in this
brochure to find these hunts, or look
at the list of acceptable hunts online
at cpw.state.co.us/youthhunting.

HOW TO FILL OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS

!
TIPS FOR FILLING OUT PAPER APPLICATIONS:
APPLICATIONS
USE ONLY APPLICATIONS IN THE CENTER OF THIS BROCHURE. Photocopies and sample applications pictured below are not accepted.
Do not cut or fold applications. Remove stubs.
USE CAPITAL LETTERS AND STAY COMPLETELY WITHIN THE BOXES. Print clearly. Use black ballpoint pen only. Do not use correction
tape or fluid, or write over errors. Either get a new application or scratch out the error and write above it without interfering with other boxes.
REVIEW YOUR APPLICATION. Incorrect applications are disqualified and no preference points are awarded. Photocopy your
application for your records. If applying online, print or save your receipt; it is your only record of what you applied for.
MAKE A MISTAKE? If youve already turned in your application but made a mistake on it, corrections must be made online by
April 10. An effort will be made to complete every request; however, CPW cannot guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
Due to time constraints, CPW cannot confirm that your correction has been made. For more information, visit cpw.state.co.us/bg/corrections.

TOOLS, TIPS AND RESOURCES FOR HUNTING COLORADO
BIG-GAME SPECIES IDENTIFICATION
TIPS FOR IDENTIFYING ANIMALS

1. ID FIRST, TRIGGER FINGER SECOND. Take as much time as is necessary to identify an animal before you shoot. Use your binoculars, not
your rifle scope, to make a positive ID on an animal. Then put your finger on the trigger.
2. STUDY THE BODY. There are telltale ways to tell different animals apart. Dont just look at an animals antlers, study the entire head and
body of an animal before you shoot. This will help distinguish elk from moose and mule deer from whitetails.
3. WATCH FOR BABIES. When hunting elk or moose, be careful not to mistake a moose calf for a cow elk. Young moose have a reddish coat,
similar to an elk. Also, it is illegal to kill a bear that has cubs with it. Bear cubs younger than a year old cannot be harvested.
4. MAKE A MISTAKE? Accidents happen. If youve shot the wrong species of animal in the field, dont panic. Call the local district wildlife man-
ager or the CPW office nearest to you listed at the front of this brochure. Admitting a mistake is a hunters most responsible plan of action.
REFERENCE
ATTENTION! Moose can be found in the same habitat as elk in Colorado. Elk hunters must
know the difference between the two species to avoid accidentally killing a moose.

ATTENTION! It is quite common to find both mule deer and white-tailed deer in the same areas, especially on the Eastern
Plains. Since both types of deer have the same general body shape and size, hunters can look for a few key differences to
make a positive identification. The primary telltale characteristic a hunter should look for is the tail.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

These over-the-counter licenses provide
an opportunity to hunt white-tailed deer

are the primary species of management

This means there are few white-tailed
deer in the area, and hunters can expect to
see more mule deer than white-tailed deer
when hunting in these GMUs.

IDENTIFYING WHITETAIL VS. MULE DEER

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO

IDENTIFY A WHITE-TAILED DEER?
The best way to tell the difference between
a white-tailed deer and a mule deer is the
tail.
White-tailed deer tails are broad and
brown from top to bottom with a white
fringe.
Mule deer have a white rump patch
and tail, with a black tip on the tail.

THE ANTLERS?

PRESERVE. CONSERVE. ENJOY.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Hunting is a great American pastime that helped shape many of our first public lands.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES tell how to minimize your impact while hunting:
1. PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE... get permission to hunt private land, respect road
closures, leave gates as found.
2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES... good campsites are found, not
made.
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY... pack it in, pack it out.
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND... sight-in firearms away from hunting areas, do not use
signs for target practice.
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS... use an established fire ring or fire pan, and dont
put trash in the fire pit.
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE... never feed wild animals, store your camp food and trash
securely.
7. BE CONSIDERATE TO OTHER VISITORS... be
aware of the direction you shoot and be courteous to
others you see.
The Center respects the tradition of hunting on public lands,
This copyrighted information was reprinted under partnership expects hunters to abide by state game and hunting laws,
with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. and encourages hunters to adhere to the Leave No Trace ethic.
