Chapter 2 - Big Game
Basis and Purpose:

Subsequent to the adoption of the 2008-2009 big game season structure, staff identified various administrative errors, including omitted game management units from specified hunt codes, incorrect hunt dates and missing limited license hunt codes.  Corrections have been made to the regulations; however, these changes in no way alter the overall intent of the big game season structure as previously approved by the Wildlife Commission or the regulations adopted by the Commission in January of 2008.

The statutory authority for these regulations can be found in § 24-4-103, C.R.S., and the state Wildlife Act, §§ 33-1-101 to 33-6-209, C.R.S., specifically including, but not limited to: §§ 33-1-101, 102, 104, 105, 106-108, 115, and 121; §§ 33-2-104, 105, 106, and 107; § 33-3-104; §§ 33-4-101, 102, 102.5, 103, 116, 116.5, 117, and 119; § 33-5.5-102; and §§ 33-6-107, 109, 112, 113, 113.5, 114, 114.5, 117, 119, 120, 121, 124, 127, 128, 129, 131, 205, 206, 207, and 208. 

EFFECTIVE DATE - THESE REGULATIONS SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2008 AND SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL REPEALED, AMENDED OR SUPERSEDED.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE WILDLIFE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF COLORADO THIS 13th DAY OF MARCH, 2008.
