Colorado deer hunt codes that drew at 2 preference points, 2026
In CPW's 2026 primary deer draw, 63 deer hunt codes drew out at 2 preference points for residents, 5,360 licenses in all, and 45 drew out at 2 preference points for nonresidents. A resident who listed one of them first with 2 points drew it in the 1 codes where every 2-point applicant drew, and some did in the rest. Residents with fewer points drew 779 other codes outright or at lower levels.
Every figure is from Colorado Parks and Wildlife's 2026 Draw Recap report for deer, with 2025 and 2024 beside it. "Drew out at" is the point level of the last license the primary draw gave that group. It is what happened in 2026, not a forecast for the next draw. How Colorado's preference points work.
Deer codes by points: 0 points 1 point 2 points 3 points 4 points 5 points 6 points 7 points 8-9 points 10-14 points 15-19 points 20+ points
