Colorado non-resident big game fees will increase just under 3.8% for 2007. A few years ago non-resident fees were legislated to be adjusted (up or down) based upon the Consumer Price Index. (Yes, it did actually go down once since that was implemented.)

For 2007, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat will be $1,715 each. This is up from $1,655 each in 2006.

This will be voted on by the Colorado Wildlife Commission the later part of next week. The information specific to the increase may be seen at: http://wildlife.state.co.us/NR/rdonlyres/10242A58-1A14-...8F/0/FinalCh2CPI.pdf
