Anyone remember when they got their Colorado elk permit last year?
However call them and do please complain. Your fishing license should be sent out Immediately, it has no waiting period.
I will call monday cause its always something different each year in the time frame at which everything comes out!!!!! Last year I had all my tags by now and refunds???
Called CPW last week before leaving and was told by supervisor that they know about the situation and have written instructions to tell us to copy your online licenses purchased page showing you have NR Elk license. Also keep copy of your CID etc with you. If you get stopped show the officer your copies and you are good to go. He may check your records for himself but probably won't.
Doesn't solve the fishing in May issue but helps after the draw.
Don't spend any extra money! Not needed.
I just wish it was a small game license since that would not be needed until fall. Love those mountain chickens!
I asked whether just buying a second rod permit for $5 would be an option. They said no. I was tempted to just go buy a 2nd rod permit at a vendor to see what would happen but decided instead I'd rather go up in the mountains and look for elk.
There was no mention of carrying a printout of the online licenses purchased.
I called the main headquarters at 303-297-1192 and the first person I talked to seemed to know the issue. He checked with his supervisor said I was told to carry the printout.
I imagine the main headquarters get a lot more calls about this then the other field offices e.g., Montrose. They seemed to know immediately what I was calling about and the solution. Try their number.
Hope this helps.
PS: I made the mistake of buying a yearly NR fishing last year before I realized one came with the Elk permit. Ouch!!!!
