Times are always changing and I think it's best to try to be ahead and plan better with the resource in mind. There was a time when you didn't need a license and could shoot whatever you wanted. Well, populations crashed and we had to implement changes to limit hunting opportunity so that...
Our clients give us canned fish sometimes, I really want to learn how to do it myself one of these days. Make great sandwiches with them.
I make tons of apple butter and can it in the fall from picking apples that people don't want (and to keep the bears away)...no apple goes to waste! Not...
They did discuss this quite a bit in a few meetings and it would have been nice to explore this more. With these giant units that we have now, I'd wonder if breaking up the units would be helpful for distribution...even though that's not the direction the department is going.
The pushback I'm seeing to pick your weapon has a lot of points but none of them that I see actually address why boat loads of cheap opportunity are any better (along with other negatives of too much pressure). Truthfully, I've slowly come to hate rifle season and would choose archery every...
I usually wait for the full meeting to come out on YouTube and then just speed it up so it takes way less time to listen to 😅
I think they have two more meetings before the recommendations are sent off (I could be wrong), but I think the group has come a long way from their first meeting...
I think the Elk Group is having a really interesting discussion as they finalize their proposals/ recommendations.
If anyone else wants to listen:
Truthfully, I'm left a little frustrated because it is such a complex situation. So many unforseen consequences but I guess looking at different...
Thanks for posting here, I had no clue that these emails were going to my spam folder 😑 oh Gmail, always making things complex.
Hopefully more hunters spread the word about these. Just showing up helps a lot.
I just got done listening to one of the Elk CAG meetings and that made me think of this very idea. There was lots of discussion of shortening seasons or picking a weapon. The time may come when you can't hunt a bull every year and that comment definitely made me appreciate all the time I have...
Took me forever to find that list again the other day, thanks for the link!
I'm not even sure what to say for comments because I feel like I'll end up writing several pages.
Like you said though, this program could morph in the future. Something tells me not in a very positive way for hunters in...
I was curious where you were seeing all these elk until I read this sentence 😂 then I realized I see elk all the time in the spring too where in the fall it's completely empty of life.
I hope it was still a fantastic time minus the rain and not getting a bear.
In case anyone missed it like me and wants to listen:
Im still listening but it sounds like they prefer comments to be submitted to each members email?
