    NHL playoffs

    I was at that one also and am on record saying “worst period of hockey I’ve seen them play this year”. Seattle is playing a late 90’s forecheck/cycle/clog the neutral zone style (a La the 99 devils, early oughts Red Wings) and they are playing it very well. We have not found an answer. Minus...

    Colorado Unit 161 (High Country)

    Not wanting to spotlight them any further here on ol' Al's interwebs, but it was the 'crews' that hail from Western OR and UT, respectively.

    2023 Colorado Sheep & Goat Results

    I put in for archery goat every year until this year when the panic attack started by just typing in the unit. 3+8 for both (I lost my points back when I was living and working overseas and just forgot/not top of mind). I also decided to no longer accumulate Goat points, the math on the $ just...

    What Has Montana's Stream Access Law Meant To You?

    Technically, you are trespassing when your fly/weight/lure touches the bottom or snags on a rock down here. Many MT friends have had similar stories. It's really unfortunate. While there are certainly issues of scale of use (given our vastly larger population and thus, recreation-user days)...

    dougdelite: Can a beagle flush pheasants and retrieve swimming birds?

    I grew up hunting over Brits and have had three of my own in adulthood. I am partial to a fault to the breed and am unlikely to own another breed of dog the rest of my life. But rabbits and water retrieves are not their forte (generally speaking, of course. I've seen Brit's retrieve honkers...

    2023 spring turkey!

    Decided to drive over to the foothills for a couple hours after lunch today. Halfway back, I stopped at a spot I’ve hunted a lot but haven’t seen a bird in probably 5-6 years, but it’s a nice hike and the view is great on top of the ridge. Having battled a sinus infection that became a chest...

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    back to VR - Some interesting info out of Vail’s investor conference last week. As mentioned earlier ITT, as a publicly traded corp, growth is paramount. Now targeting rentals and (fairly obviously) expansion of the Subscription model. Presentation here...

    If you were going on a non-hunting/fishing backcountry trip, where would you go?

    "In times like these"? Not to derail a good thread, but objectively this doesn't compute. These Times where: Transportation from anywhere in the US is unprecedented (both price and availability), strong spending power of the USD (Euro at .92, Pound Sterling @ 0.8, CAD 1.4), many interesting...

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    So far, based on snow conditions only, we should have stayed south. They have had a thin season up here in BC/AB. Coverage is thin and it’s now in a daily melt/freeze cycle so the snow doesn’t soften up until mid day. All the locals have shaken their heads that we left CO for this kind of snow...

    dougdelite: pheasants without a dog? is it possible?

    EDIT: I should have read all the other replies since all of the below has already been said. So consider it reinforcement: i think I mentioned the other month that I had 1 season after I lost my last two Brits in short order where I hunted solo/dog-less for a whole CO pheasant season. I had...

    Yet another chance to to tell CPW what they want to hear: Big Game Season Structure Survey

    I’m not sure what qualifies as ‘high’ but I have high teens elk and weighted moose points and haven’t heard anything. and I agree with this 1000%. I think point banking is dumb, but I would almost have to use it for two hunts. I’d rather see point averaging on party apps (as @Khunter alludes...

    I’m actually headed up there on Saturday with the kids for spring break. Will provide report (also Stopping @ Banff sunshine for a day on the way over from YYC which looks fantastic too). feel free to PM any hot tips @Dsnow9 :)

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    I’d skip all that Sierra cement and just go to UT Although Hood is pretty sweet. And Schweitzer as long as it’s not raining (was my home mtn for a season) But - If you can kill an elk in CO and then hit every Ikon resort in NA in a season - that’s a thread worth a Talkie in the making.

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    The Bogner family being tip of the spear on ski stretch pants was a key to the last 50 years of "sight-seeing" on Ajax :) While the general area is one of my favorite parts of the entire world, I would concur Steamboat (the resort) is overrated on groomer days (and, in recent years, on...

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    It is and I remember that - it was also when the first multi-resort passes had just begun. I got my first one in 1997. iirc, they were $300 and included unlimited days at Breck, Keystone and A-Basin and 5 days @ BC or Vail. We always used our Vail days. You could also buy 4-packs of tickets for...

    Vail resorts good or evil?:nimbyism in the inter mountain west.

    Vail, the town, didn't even exist until 1966. It was built out to be pretty much exactly what it has become. Without the resort(s), the towns Will mentioned would be different also, Red Cliff would probably be as much a ghost town as the one at the bridge on the way in. But cue the influx of...

    Yet another chance to to tell CPW what they want to hear: Big Game Season Structure Survey

    Quite a few of the questions referenced deer, including season structure preferences. To Oak's point about not being able to see the questions beforehand, for everyone that wants a preview before taking the survey (and everyone that hunts or wants to hunt in CO should take the survey) - here...

    Yet another chance to to tell CPW what they want to hear: Big Game Season Structure Survey

    I wish there would have been ‘freestyle’ comments available for that one. It works, the math is for all effective purposes the same as true bonus points. Most people are never going to draw MSG in their lifetime no matter what scheme is deployed, and it's demonstrably true that folks with more...

    Colorado ski partners wanted

    The overnight thing for your average skier in most large resorts is just a non-starter these days In CO. I certainly sympathize with your scenario and your co-workers, but it’s just not feasible at the big joints to allow camping. From the article: “Scott said the goals would be to reduce the...
