[1] Beginning July 1, 2020, anyone entering a Colorado state wildlife area is required to carry a valid fishing or hunting license.The fine for entering a state wildlife area without a valid license is US$139.50.This new rule was instituted by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to deal with a budget shortfall.[2] In 2021, Colorado Parks and Wildlife implemented the Colorado State Wildlife Area Pass for individuals who prefer not to purchase a hunting or fishing license.The annual pass costs US$46.48 and includes the required US$10.40 Colorado Wildlife Habitat Stamp.
