    2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread

    Anyone got an email on the LPP draw? I didn’t have any points so it was a long shot for me this year but not sure how the whole process works. The website says results will be emailed beginning of June but all the other results are already out so curious when I’ll get the unsuccessful email to...

    Ban the biscuits and open flames!

    I am about to have my house paid off and I'm going to look at going to catastrophic type homeowners insurance. My insurance here in Texas with the wind and hail is up to almost $4,000 a year for a $300,000ish house that they make me insure for $475,000. I would like to bump the deductible up...

    New SAR tool

    Pretty amazing stuff being developed. I guess law enforcement could use it as well if someone wanted to intentionally get "lost". I assume it only works if the cell phone is turned on and not in flight mode. I know a lot of folks that turn their phones to flight mode when out of cell service...

    School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

    I didn't read through all of the posts but having hunted off and on in some pretty thick grizzly country I just try to go on with life and not worry about it too much. With that said, I carry bear spray and try to keep a clean camp and all that fun stuff, but when I'm hunting, I'm hunting and...

    Roth for a kid?

    It’s just so hard for me to tell someone that young to pass up the huge tax advantage with a Roth IRA. I have some money in a brokerage account right now that is almost untouchable for me because the giant unrealized gains in it. Even with the capital gain tax at 20% I have to pay the extra...

    WTB a couple inreach’s.

    The Zoleo's are a little cheaper on the front end and people really seem to like them. I have an InReach SE that is 10 years old now and still working fine. Not looking to sell it though.

    Options to help judge bear size?

    Thanks for the comments. I've only shot 2 bears in my life. One dink when I was in college walking closed logging roads up by Libby, MT and one decent one on POW a few years ago. One thing that I was surprised at was this past fall we saw one of the smaller bears that I have been getting on...

    Options to help judge bear size?

    Some elk pictures from the same camera to help with perspective.

    Options to help judge bear size?

    I have gotten quite a few trail camera pictures of bears on my place in Colorado. I’m pretty sure some of them are really nice bears. I just don’t know how nice. I get most of the pictures on the same camera that is a pretty good location for all kinds of other animals as well. I go back and...

    Roth for a kid?

    We setup a Roth IRA for my son from his earnings last summer. I have other investments at Fidelity so it was a very easy deal to set it up for him over there and invest it in an index fund. Most likely never going to be at a lower tax bracket (zero) than now so it seems like a no brainer for...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    I haven't ever looked at a 16D rifle tag. I was specifically thinking about Unit 36 when I posted that and I have seen those listed for less than $10,000. Just looked at an outfitter's website and the price difference between a Fully Guided with a landowner tag and a Fully Guided without a...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    The answer is somewhere between what abqbw and Treeshark want. I think most of us can see that. When you consider the alternative options in New Mexico specifically, Deer, Pronghorn and Elk outside of their core area are all unlimited tags available to the landowner. You read that correctly...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    Nope. I wouldn’t pay $20K for a NM elk tag either. You can buy tags for the best units in the state for less than half that. You can buy fully outfitted hunts in pretty good units for less than half that. I feel confident that less than 10% of the landowner tags go for that price even...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    Question. Is charging a trespass fee or leasing property for hunting considered privatization? I just see it as a different means to the same end. Monetization of wildlife is happening in pretty much every state, New Mexico just just doing it in a more transparent manner that allows them a...

    New Mexico Privatization. Nuthin like it

    I’m out of pocket and on my phone so wasn’t able to check this. I’m curious how many elk tags were available in the public draw in New Mexico in 2018 before E Plus took all the tags out of the draw compared to how many elk tags are available in the public draw now? I’m guessing the same or...

    2024 Nevada Draw Results

    All red for us. We are now a combined 0 for 45 this year. Still hoping for Wyoming pronghorn and maybe a Colorado youth secondary draw tag for my son.

    Wyoming elk special NR draw

    It's interesting because just looking at points it didn't change that much. Last year it was 4+ points for the special general tag (29% at 4 points)and this year it was essentially 4 points to draw (91% at 4 points in the West). Will be very interesting to see how this sorts out next year as...
