What does a Leftover Limited License represent?

A Leftover Limited License represents licenses that were not claimed during the primary or secondary drawing periods for limited licenses. In Colorado, limited licenses are often subject to quotas, and not all applicants may receive a license during these draws. Once the drawing process is concluded for a particular season, any remaining licenses that weren't allocated are made available as "leftover" licenses. These licenses can be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis, which allows additional hunters who may not have been successful in the draw to still obtain a license for hunting in certain areas or for specific game species. This system helps ensure that hunting opportunities remain available while maintaining wildlife management goals.
