Colorado might not come to mind when most hunters think of trophy-size antelope, but pronghorn numbers across the state are surprisingly high with an occasional buck that is big enough to qualify for Boone and Crockett Club records. Premium rifle tags can take several years to accumulate the preference points needed to draw, but archery tags in many units are available over the counter. Hunters can also buy transferable landowner vouchers, which allow them to buy a tag while circumventing the tag drawing without affecting the ability to build preference points.
