    Any hockey fans out there?

    Rough couple games there, we left after the 2nd period on Saturday, which in 20-some years of having some form/share of Season tickets, is the first time I can recall doing that. But everyone starts playoffs 0-0 this weekend. Just blows that the boys have to start in Winnipeg. They’ve had our...

    Any hockey fans out there?

    Rough deal for Coyotes fans (and players). But if you can’t maintain an NHL rink in a metro area of like 5M people, that’s a non starter. SLC will be good for hockey in the long run. But the best playoffs in sports is about to get going. I could be a scout for Winnipeg right now. Saw them in...

    Is anyone on the front range....

    My son was in CF yesterday, any ball in the air was a complete guess as to its eventual destination. When we got home the Liquor license application poster from the outdoor popup bar a mile away was in our front yard.

    2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread

    Photos were a day apart last October, but the buck I eventually caught up to is somewhere out of frame in the first photo (which was a rapidly failing stalk on another buck). With some client stuff looking to land in Sept/Oct, I am in for points and MSG this year. Best hunting buddy is very...

    Let Them Roam - A Bison Yarn

    Great stuff, Andy. The pictures are really unreal.

    TIL

    TIL people still print things :) OK - not totally true. I have a 15 year old printer upstairs at the house whose sole use case is to print my 84yo FIL's boarding passes when they are leaving from a visit. It takes 4-5X longer to get the printer out, plug it in, print the thing, and put it...

    CO CPW Draw Process Working Group

    Or, even easier, just stop allowing tag returns outside the medical and bereavement categories that are already on the books. Reissue problem solved and money saved.

    CO CPW Draw Process Working Group

    Thanks, @Dsnow9 - I was involved in a little Public sector work when I was with one of the big firms and recall the (let's just go with 'laborious') bid process in broad terms. Will take a peek at the platform.

    Fly Rod help

    and: - dogs - car windows - PenAir baggage handlers - short garage ceilings - cows (that was fun) - over-zealous brother in laws that manage to rip the oar out of the lock and smash it on the stern guys rod I suppose there's an argument that all of these meet the criteria of "a little bad luck"

    CO CPW Draw Process Working Group

    I'm hopeful the reissue process mostly goes away in 2027 as I'd love to see the tag return policy be highly restricted (long running theme of my emails to CPW). Oh man. I do a lot of enterprise software selection/assessment projects. I'd go pretty close to pro bono to help them with that...

    Fly Rod help

    As a lot have alluded to - find a fly shop that will let you cast a few options. Everyone will have a different preference for action and feel. For the most part, an independent Fly Shop will be well worth the extra few bucks over a Big Box store and are generally great sources of information...

    Call your Senators! CPW Commission Confirmation Vote - Delayed Again! Now Tues, 12 Mar!

    I'm not implying there aren't wasteful processes in government - absolutely true beyond a reasonable doubt. But I think the graph below has the most influence on the growth of various state government orgs. We've grown by "3.5 Wyoming's" since I moved here 27 years ago. e.g. The equivalent...

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    Apologies - I mis-read your statement that the landowner ‘must open up their land’ to mean the NM UW version where ‘open up’ means ‘open up their land to anyone with a valid tag for the unit’

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    The distinction is different than in NM though. In NM, a LO that chooses to receive unit wide vouchers has to open their land to the general public if they hold a valid (publically acquired) tag. That snippet from the regs only applies to the person (hunter) that buys the voucher and converts it...

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    Not true in CO for LPP tags. Rules here: https://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/LandownerPreference.aspx RFW program tags require the LO to issue some amount (the ratio of private to public tags varies by species but it’s heavily tilted to the private tags) of tags to R’s in the public draw...

    Proposed Big Game Season Structure (BGSS) 2025-2029 - Colorado

    Count me as crazy then :) - I resemble this remark more and more as I age both in absolute terms and in my hunting life. If I never personally kill another elk with a rifle I'm totally OK with that. I love the elk woods in September, the challenge of getting close, the vocal interactions, the...

    Proposed Big Game Season Structure (BGSS) 2025-2029 - Colorado

    Literally - those were the lowest-ranked options from the public comments: I tend to give CPW the benefit of the doubt with a lot of these as they have historically stuck fairly close to their guns on giving high attention to the highest-ranked public concerns (e.g. the 'Breaks between...

    Montana Fentanyl and Meth. Mexican Drug Cartel Focus.

    I worked in the growing equipment supply space for some time. Hydro focused, but lots of spillover to outdoor growing. Most of Colorado is unprofitable for outdoor growing, high aridity places like Pueblo even moreso. Probably got a quick Buck in 2013/14, because it was literally the Wild West...

    Trick to landing.fish on tiny flies

    That might be part of the issue also. Pretty easy to bend those small light wire hooks if they are attached to a heavy tippet (I consider 4X pretty heavy, I'm generally not going below a size 16 if I'm throwing 4X)

    CO Spring Turkey Draw

    When you don't forget to apply in the fall, yes :) My SIL is ~50/50 for a neat draw tag. Rest of us are just points/OTC and lots of company on the front range. If SIL doesn't draw, we are going to finally make good on our threats to go up to the Black Hills.
