S2E16: 2.16 – Big-game hunting chat with Andy Holland
Description
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is currently in the middle of big-game rifle hunting seasons, and the Colorado Outdoors Podcast returns this month for a wide-ranging chat with CPW Big Game Manager Andy Holland.
A passionate big-game hunter, Holland shares some of his hunting success stories and some of his strategy for applying for big-game hunting licenses not only in Colorado but also out of state.
In this episode, we also talk about CPW’s new bison management planning effort, upcoming changes to the 2028 big-game draw and what factors into big-game license setting in Colorado.
We also dive a bit into current trends in hunting and try to get into the mind of an elk.
If you’re on your way to a third or fourth rifle season camp or if you’ve already wrapped up your 2025 hunting season, join us for a quick conversation on Colorado big-game hunting.
