Comments Sought On Big Game Access Pilot Program

The Colorado Wildlife Commission is looking for comments regarding a big game hunter access pilot program in southeast Colorado.  Input is requested prior to the Commission meeting on January 11-12 in Denver. 
 
The pilot, dubbed BGAP (Big Game Access Program), would run for a three year evaluation period and would operate in a manner similar to the upland game Walk-In Access program for pheasants and quail. 
 
BGAP, as proposed, would lease private land in several southeastern Colorado game management units.  Leased land would be open to pronghorn and deer hunters who purchase a special access stamp.  The proposed cost of the stamp would be $40. 
 
BGAP will concentrate on quality upland grass or prairie habitat with a focus on antelope, and river bottom or riparian land with a focus on deer.  The amount paid to landowners will be based on the size of the property, habitat quality, and the number of pronghorn or deer on the property.
 
Additional information regarding the program and proposed regulations are posted on the Wildlife Commission’s web page at http://wildlife.state.co.us/WildlifeCommission/

Comments can be submitted using the Wildlife Commissions email address at wildlife.comm@state.co.us. 
 
Comments will be compiled and summarized for presentation to the Wildlife Commission at their January meeting.
