Colorado deer licenses residents drew with 0 points, 2026

In Colorado's 2026 primary draw, residents could draw 679 deer hunt codes with no preference points: every resident first-choice applicant drew, or the code drew out at 0 points. 265 of them still had licenses left after the draw, 10,627 licenses in all (6,106 of them in 183 codes that are not private-land-only), and nonresidents could draw 495 of them with no points too.

Every figure is from Colorado Parks and Wildlife's 2026 Draw Recap report for deer. A code that took no points in 2026 can take points in a later year: the last column shows what the same code took in 2025. Drawing one of these as a first choice uses all your preference points for the species; listed as a second, third or fourth choice, a code never uses or earns points (CPW's draw rules).

Which 2026 Colorado deer licenses had licenses left after the draw?

265 deer hunt codes that residents drew with no points had licenses left after CPW's 2026 primary draw, 10,627 licenses in all; DM025O2R had the most, 460 of 1,110. Licenses left after the draws go on sale first come, first served on CPW's leftover and reissued license list; what is still for sale today is on that list, not here. Sorted by licenses left, most first. A code marked private land only is valid only on private land, and CPW's brochure says to get the landowner's permission before applying (2026 Colorado Big Game brochure, License Types).
