The lines moved quickly Tuesday morning to pick up leftover hunting licenses at Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s office in Colorado Springs.

The August sale is an annual time for Colorado hunters to buy the remaining licenses for deer, elk, pronghorn and bears. The available licenses had either not been sold during the first two rounds of sales earlier in the year or had been returned to Parks and Wildlife because they wouldn’t have been used.

Wildlife officer Travis Sauder said the office used to have people holding a space in line for days ahead of the sale or wrapping around the block to get in the door when it launched. Nowadays, the majority of the licenses are bought through the CPW website, but the Colorado Springs office still had some people waiting overnight.

“There’s still kind of a fun atmosphere. There’s a kind of camaraderie between the hunters, and they like to talk to us,” Sauder said.

There were around 30 license-seekers at the office Tuesday morning to get the licenses in-person. Parks and Wildlife staff were able to process most of the licenses in a half- hour.

Multiple members of the Gonzalez family slept in their car in the CPW parking lot Monday night. They were there to get 16-year-old Aba Gonzalez her first license to hunt mule deer, which she received minutes after the doors opened at 9 a.m.

“I know there are limited numbers each time, we want to go hunting together and we were able to get an early spot,” said her father, Efren Gonzalez.

Bob Talley received the last license for hunting female pronghorn in a hunting area outside Colorado Springs. Talley said he had been on his phone and in line since early Tuesday morning to double his chances of getting the specific license he wanted.

Sauder said that over-the-counter hunting licenses are still available. Returned licenses will be reissued and sold on Wednesday mornings.
