Which organization typically sets bag limits and season dates for Colorado hunting?

• A. Federal government.
• B. Local city council.
• C. Private landowners.
• D. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).

Answer: (D)

Colorado Parks and Wildlife handles the management of hunting seasons and bag limits in the state. They base these rules on population data, habitat conditions, and safety considerations to balance hunter opportunity with conservation. While the federal government oversees certain wildlife issues (like migratory birds or endangered species), the primary authority for most Colorado hunting seasons and bag limits rests with CPW. Local city councils and private landowners can regulate activities on their land, but they don’t set statewide bag limits or season dates. So the organization responsible for these hunting rules is Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
