Why don't they have a naming contest for the antelope that live along the South Platte in the Denver area?
"Asphalt - means that I was never born because 100's of square miles are paved over."
"Shopping Mall - where I wasn't born so you can spend money on stuff to put in the landfill."

So, is it just that the individual commissioners can't give direction to individual staff? I assume there are 'open meetings' rules that affect these conversations as well.
Ok, I was off base. So, the commission does tell CPW what to do? Why do I often hear them say things like, "I'm not directing staff to do anything." Like it's a line they can't cross.
I am pretty sure Commissioners have no authority to tell CPW to do anything. They can ask questions and make rules, but they are not directors.
Zero point units will become 2 pt units in no time.
I attended today, but unfortunately was distracted with my job during much of the meeting. A few notes:
Commissioners Haskett and Philips were pretty pissed about not being notified about the wolf releases. They spent countless hours, attended dozens of meetings, got beat up from both sides...
Go to their FB page and comment, share, like. They have been spending money making quality videos that are targeted to have the most effect:

I recently had a pre-paid gift card that I didn't want to carry around and hope it was enough to cover a purchase, so I used it to make a donation. If anyone has gift cards and would like help finding the balance or selling the...
My daughter (19) and I had archery elk tags, and my son (22) had a muzzleloader cow tag, and my wife was with, but doesn't hunt. We hiked in about 6 miles and set up camp. We saw elk across the valley as we were setting up. As my son and I made our way down and back up the other side of the...
Reminds me of the guy that was given the mic at a recent CPW meeting and spent 10 minutes yelling at the commission about Non-Res OTC tags, smh. I wonder if, in a few years, he will realize that whatever the new resident percentage is, zero divided by any number is still zero. If more hunters...
There is a newly filed anti-cat hunting initiative. This initiative has some slight changes from initiative 91. It does allow (but not mandate) a lion season from Dec. 18-31 but all body parts other than the meat must be turned in to the CPW. It has been submitted to legislative council but...
I don't have a link for you to verify, but the last update I heard is that CRWM was able to get "trophy" removed from the ballot initiative language, but that decision can be appealed by the initiative's proponents. Commenters above are correct that CRWM is leading the fight and keeping CWCP...
I'm reading an old story (in a collection of short stories) about a Canadian Mounty. He's describing one of their cabins they maintained for the mounties to use when out patrolling. The quote is, "There had been nobody stationed in it since the T-Down fed its last hay almost two months...
Rinella subsequently shared that he told Ken that he thought the film was being particularly harsh on the buffalo hunters. Rinella thought they were portrayed as heartless bastards, when, as pointed out by themselves and others, it was all about money and even some Indians joined in on the...
Oh, I missed the sarcasm. I have come to expect that the anti-hunting community really does not care about wildlife. I don't see them out removing fences, spraying weeds, or hell, even counting bighorns. It is apparently lost on them that spending millions on lawyers to stop hunting creates...
