This will be the first year hunters will not have a mail-in option when applying for their Colorado big-game hunting licenses. With the introduction of the new online system, there is concern that some hunters may have difficulty with navigation. CPW will have call centers open to help those in need, but they’re also holding seminars throughout the state to help curb the potential problem.
CPW holding seminars to help hunters with CPW’s new automated online system
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – As the April 3 limited license application deadline draws near, hunters with questions or concerns about Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s new automated online licensing system can get help in a variety of ways, including asking questions over the phone, visiting a local CPW office to receive personal guidance or getting information on CPW’s website.
In addition to these options, hunters will have access to one-on-one help by attending one of seven seminars scheduled during the month of March in CPW’s Northwest Region.
“More and more people are purchasing from a number of online retailers, from shoes and clothing to food, music, furniture, and so on,” said Northwest Regional Manager JT Romatzke. “It was inevitable that CPW would one day sell its products online with an automated system, and that time has come. That said, we understand some people will need a little personal guidance and we are happy to help.”
In early January, 2018, CPW introduced its new integrated online purchasing system to streamline the sale of all hunting and fishing licenses and required stamps, annual parks passes, camping reservations and merchandise.
Although CPW recommends all applicants for limited licenses apply online, hunters still have the option of applying over the phone by calling 1-800-244-5613 .
At each seminar, computers will be available so hunters can go through the process with the help of CPW customer service representatives.
