How this tag has hunted

Across every license type in GMU 441, Colorado Parks and Wildlife counted 740 hunters and 270 elk taken in 2024 — 37% of them killed something. Full GMU 441 profile: maps, public land, five years of harvest →

Colorado's figures come from CPW's post-season hunter survey. CPW's 2025 report dropped the per-GMU table in favour of hunt-code rows, so the newest year shown here is 2024. Source: 2024 Statewide Elk Harvest 2023 Statewide Elk Hunting Harvest Estimates

Earlier years, when this number was a different hunt

Colorado reassigns hunt numbers between years. In these years EE441W2R stood for another gmu or weapon, so they are listed here rather than counted as this hunt's history or in its point-creep trend.

How to read these numbers

Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.

Not an application service

This page is informational only. Draw rules, quotas, fees, and deadlines are set by the state agency and change by commission action — confirm everything on the agency's own site before you apply, and apply through the agency, not here. We disclaim all liability for reliance on this page.
