Licenses
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has not offered a pronghorn license in GMU 42 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it; the Colorado pronghorn hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

What Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. 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.

About These Numbers
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.
