Big game licenses are still available for the upcoming seasons. Leftover and general over-the-counter licenses, as well as over-the-counter bear licenses and turkey licenses (with caps), are available for purchase online (www.wildlife.state.co.us), by telephone (1-800-244-5613) and at statewide license agents and Division of Wildlife offices.   A list of all available leftover licenses is available at: http://wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/BigGame/Leftovers/ .

More than 1,700 New Mexico public-land deer permits, 20 elk licenses for mobility impaired hunters, and 231 archery javelina licenses leftover from the 2009-2010 drawing will be available beginning at 10:00am,  August 19 — only on the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Web site.

“As is often the case, the Department had a handful of hunts that went unsubscribed following this year’s big game draw,” said Patrick Block, Assistant Director of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. “We want do everything we can to give New Mexico’s hunters every opportunity to enjoy the sport they are so passionate about.”

The deer permits are for hunts in game management units where the number of permits or licenses exceeded the number of applicants. They will be available — first-come, first-served — for an application fee of $9 for residents, $12 for nonresidents. Applications will be accepted only on the Department’s Web site, www.wildlife.state.nm.us.

The Colorado Division of Wildlife announced that all “leftover” big game and turkey licenses will go on sale Aug. 11.  Leftover licenses are limited elk, deer, pronghorn, bear and turkey licenses that did not sell during the spring drawing/application process.

“There are a good variety of licenses this year,” said Henrietta Turner, DOW license administration manager.  “We have over 9,000 deer, 3,000 pronghorn and over 42,000 elk licenses still available.”

Hunters may purchase leftover licenses on a first-come, first-served basis at statewide license agents, Division of Wildlife offices and by phone (1-800-244-5613).

Online purchases will be available at 8:00 a.m. Aug. 12, on the Division of Wildlife Web site.  Internet sales are postponed one day to eliminate competition with in-person sales. 

In order to expedite the purchase process, license buyers should bring the following items when visiting license agents or DOW offices:  A driver’s license or state identification card, hunter education card, customer identification number or conservation certificate number, and social security card.  

Hunters purchasing private-land-only licenses (PLOs) must obtain permission from landowners before they can hunt on any private land. 

Limited licenses are valid only in specific game management units (GMUs) and are available to resident and nonresident hunters.

A list of all available leftover licenses is now available on the Division’s Web site:

Leftover licenses for Wyoming doe deer, doe antelope, and cow elk go on sale 8:00am MT on July 21.  These licenses will be sold on a first-come first-served basis, so you’ll need to act quickly if you’re interested.

In previous years, leftover licenses were allocated via an application and drawing process. Starting this year, licenses are first-come first-served.

Some of the areas where licenses are available have reasonable public access either through public federal and state lands or through Wyoming’s hunter management and walk-in area programs.

However, there are also many licenses remaining in hunt areas that are predominantly private lands where public access is difficult.
