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, AF097L1R drew no one in 2024, so lower-choice odds are left out.

How It Hunted, 2024
| Who | Hunters | Harvest | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| All of GMU 97 | 36 | 28 | 77% |
Across every license type in GMU 97, Colorado Parks and Wildlife counted 36 hunters and 28 pronghorn taken in 2024, and 77% of them took a pronghorn. 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 Pronghorn Harvest; CPW 2023 Statewide Pronghorn Harvest Estimates.
▸ Year-by-Year Numbers 6 draws

About These Numbers
Odds are from the 2024 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.
