Read from the 2026 Colorado Big Game brochure. Your license and the current brochure are the authority: check both with Colorado Parks and Wildlife before you hunt.

How many preference points did DF109O2R take in the 2026 draw?

In Colorado's 2026 primary draw, the one resident first-choice applicant for DF109O2R drew a license, so no preference points were needed, and 48 of its 50 licenses were left over after the draw.

Licenses left after the draws are sold first come, first served on CPW's leftover and reissued license list, and they do not use or earn preference points.

"Drew out at" is CPW's own figure: the preference point level of the last license the draw gave that group. "2nd+ choice" means every first-choice applicant drew and the rest went to applicants who listed it lower; "leftover" means licenses were still left after the draw.

What was DF109O2R's hunter success in 2025?

CPW's 2025 harvest survey estimates that 30 hunters held DF109O2R and took 5 does: 16.7% success, over 90 days in the field.

CPW's estimates for this license alone (2025 Colorado Deer Harvest Estimates), the first year CPW reports by hunt code rather than by unit.

How did deer hunters do in unit 109 in the 2nd rifle season?

• Unit 109 had 357 deer hunters in the rifle seasons together in 2024, who took 106 deer: 30% success. In 2023 it was 28% from 350 hunters, so success is up 2 points on the year before and hunter numbers went from 350 to 357.
• This is a doe license. Of the 106 deer taken, 35 were does and 5 were fawns (38% of the deer taken). The 2023 and 2024 unit surveys count animals by sex but not hunters by license; CPW's 2025 report gives this license's own success, above.

DF109O2R is valid in the same unit, in the same season, as DE109O2R. The unit-by-unit hunter and harvest table, the ground and legal light on opening day, the other licenses and the State Wildlife Areas in unit 109 are on the DE109O2R page and on the unit 109 page.
