Hunters must apply in person, no later than May 31 annually to participate in a random drawing to be placed on a priority list of hunters. Applications along with a non-refundable application fee not to exceed $10.00 will be accepted at the Academy's Outdoor Recreation Center, Building 5136 - Community Center Drive, AFA, Colorado Springs.
The first 15 hunters drawn will be placed on the list and will be notified of their placement by June 15 annually. When elk are available to be hunted, up to 4 hunters will be called. After obtaining a license, paying a fee not to exceed $30.00 to the Academy and receiving a safety briefing, hunters will be escorted on the hunt. Hunters may decline one opportunity to hunt and hold their place on the list. Hunts will continue when possible until (30) antlerless elk have been taken.
Hunters will need to complete the Application Form and select the correct refuge for which their license is valid in order to be entered. Applications will be accepted for five days starting the day after the left-over license day. Permits for the refuges will be issued via email after a random drawing held under the direct supervision of the area wildlife manager and no later than August 25.
