Your chance of drawing here

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has not offered a pronghorn license in GMU 471 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.

How the hunting has gone

What Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes for this area after each season — harvest statistics for everyone who hunted it, not draw odds and not a forecast. 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.
