ANNOTATION
Soliciting a person to hunt on land the solicitor leases is not providing outfitting services. Since authorizing a person to hunt on land owned by the solicitor is expressly excepted from this article, soliciting such an arrangement is not providing outfitting services. Therefore, the solicitation does not require registration. McCool v. Sears, 186 P.3d 147 (Colo. App. 2008) (decided under former law).
