Hello Everyone-
I'm new to this site and have a long list of Q's for you. Hunting in Colorado is a 'bucket-list' item of mine and now that my daughter is going to grad-school in Denver theres no stopping me, at least for the next few years. I've hunted the upper midwest and south forever but never hunted in your neighborhood.
First Q(of many to come) is: when your talking about the area you hunt in CO.,, are CRP and WIA's always synonymous? or is it a 'sometimes' thing?
I've been all over the DOW information but have missed anything concrete about that.

Regards and Thnx in advance.
 
Gman, I'm not from Colorado, but I think I can answer your question. CRP stands for Conservation Reserve Program, a USDA farm program that retires erodible crop ground by planting it to a permanent cover like native warm-season grasses(NWSG). WIA's are Walk In Areas. These are private lands that are leased by the state wildlife agency for public hunting access. They may or may not be CRP. They could be native grassland, cropland, timber, etc. Hope this helps.
