    NZ Trophy Export costs

    You can bring it with you on the plane all the way to your destination (if you live where I think you do). I had an expediter ship my stuff a few years ago and it cost me a bunch of money, almost $2k total. I could have brought it back for the price of baggage. Clean and boil the skulls...

    Public School Math and Statistics

    I buy bear points for the same reason I buy the trapping license, to inflate the value of those pursuits to the CPW and hopefully the general public. I don't know if that math works out either, but I can also guarantee any September bear tag I want and get rid of those trash pandas in my yard.

    Himalayan Tahr in New Mexico

    NM is a waste of time and money for anyone who isn't able to devote significant time to finding them.

    Jicarilla and Mescalero Cow Hunts

    See if Keith Manwell is still guiding. He worked for the tribal government, monitoring the OG operations, and was driving around every day and knew the whole place really well. He might be late 60s now, though. Pansy family was legendary in the guiding business there.

    Please BEAR with me, 2024 is going to be full of unBEARable surprises!!!

    What's your method for Wisconsin? I've got 5 points, and hoping hounds are still a thing when I draw.

    Keep looking. They are really hard to see, even when they're close.

    Colorado Draw Changes

    I guess I should have clarified the transition period would be a couple years of continued preference point drawing, without accruing points, then a couple years of bonus point drawing without accruing points , then poof, all points are set to zero and every draw is random. There would be...

    I love a pre-dawn departure. Good luck on the drive, and I hope you see some!

    Californians build house in GNP. FCD demands halt and removal.

    The house in Glacier is an eyesore. I walked by it in the creek in July, and it hangs out over the creek. It's only a few feet back from the bank, and erosion will cut that closer soon (already happening).

    Colorado Draw Changes

    I don't think they necessarily want to solve point creep, just keep it from eliminating opportunity for hunters arriving later in the game to hunt premium tags. Solving point creep is easy - don't allow anyone to buy points ever again. Everyone who gets any tag any way has points set to zero...

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    I was trying out my pitch to convince non-hunters to vote against this last night. I found that some approaches turned people off entirely because they don't care if I or anyone gets to hunt mountain lions, don't own pets, live where cats live, or aren't as passionate about the outdoors, etc...

    Wyoming G/H Genetics/Age

    This would be a good time to talk about bell curves and expansion phenotypes, but I don't have all the information or energy to find it.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    I'll start with this donation. I also took time to text 5 people who don't hunt at all (who live in Colorado) and sent them the CPW feline fact sheet, and asked them to vote "no" if it shows up on the ballot. It is really uncomfortable for me to do that, but it matters, so I made it personal.

    2024 Wyoming Pronghorn Special Draw fee effects

    $1200 antelope is steep for most units, but not for the top tier when you might already have $450 in points.
