10 tags for 2 first-choice applicants
4 first-choice applicants for 10 tags (all residencies) in 2025, yet Colorado Parks and Wildlife's point-level table shows fewer tags issued at the bottom level than applicants there.
Years to draw on points: —
- NR Tags

First-choice nonresidents; nonresidents capped at 25%. Success: all hunters in GMU 60, 2024.
Points Needed to Draw, 2021–2026
Applicants per tag: 1:1 in 2022, 0:1 in 2026.

Preference points, computed from published point-level pools. A dash means Colorado Parks and Wildlife did not publish a count for that level. Colorado runs a second, random pass after the points pass. As a lower choice, EF060O1R drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2024
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of GMU 60 | 564 | 140 | 25% |
Across every license type in GMU 60, Colorado Parks and Wildlife counted 564 hunters and 140 elk taken in 2024, and 25% of them took an elk. 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: CPW 2024 Statewide Elk Harvest; CPW 2023 Statewide Elk Hunting Harvest Estimates.
▸ Year-by-Year Numbers 6 draws

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Colorado Parks and Wildlife's published results (preference points, computed from published point-level pools). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward.
