CObirders,
The $36 fee for Jumbo and Prewitt seems exorbitant, mainly because
you'd evidently still need a habitat stamp for other SWAs. Sounds like
the high fee is simply to discourage "non-wildlife" activities at
those two areas and may be a good thing overall.
It seems to me the smart thing to do is just to buy a fishing license
for $26 and add the $10 habitat stamp. That way you have access to all
SWAs at the same price as the Jumbo/Prewitt permit.
If you happen to be 64 or over, an annual fishing license is only $1.
The $10 habitat stamp may also be required, although the DOW website
says they are only required for ages 18-64. As noted in the
discussion, the price of a license or a stand-alone habitat stamp
covers expenses related to search and rescue (but not medical
transportation and so on).
Fishing licenses and habitat stamps can be purchased online from the
Colorado Division of Wildlife site. Just google Colorado fishing
license.
