Season & deadline alerts

Leave your email and we'll send you one short reminder before the Colorado big-game draw deadline in early April, and a note whenever the published season dates change. That's the whole list — no newsletter, no spam, and we never share your address. The signup form is at the bottom of this page.

What you'll actually get

  • A draw-deadline reminder. The Colorado primary draw closes in early April (April 7 in 2026), and missing it costs you a year. We send one heads-up before it, so it doesn't slip past you. See the full deadline calendar.
  • A season-date change note. When CPW publishes new dates or changes a rule that affects the calendar, we send a short note — only when something actually changed, not on a schedule.

That's it. We'd rather send you three useful emails a year than thirty forgettable ones.

What we do with your address

We use your email only to send the reminders above. We don't sell it, share it, or add you to anything else, and every message carries a one-click unsubscribe link that takes effect immediately (replying "unsubscribe" works too). We keep your address in our own private subscriber list so the draw-deadline reminder actually reaches you. The full details are in the privacy policy. Delivery is handled by our email provider (Resend); we don't run ads, cookies, or tracking on this site.

In the meantime

The two most useful pages are probably what's open right now and the full season calendar. If you're planning a first hunt, start with planning your first elk hunt.

Never miss a deadline

The Colorado draw application closes in early April, and season dates shift a little each year. Leave your email and we'll send one short reminder before the draw deadline and a note whenever the season dates change — nothing else.
