    Lawsuit targets new CPW regulations for SWAs

    Complete hypocrisy that an organization named “Friends of Animals” would lobby for looser regulations on motorized traffic and outdoor recreational use……. Pretty clear what their long term goal is, get CPW to limit hunting and fishing on SWAs eventually.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    This is the blueprint to slowly attrit hunting in western blue states. Remove one or two species at a time. Take advantage of favorable ballot initiative laws and use ill-defined, emotionally loaded terms like “trophy hunting” and “values”. Also claim that the “science” supports you.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    Wow. And so the slow demise of hunting in Colorado begins. I love how they distort the term “trophy hunting” with a completely false assertion that lion hunters just discard the carcass after harvest. Wouldn’t that be illegal? This ballot initiative will probably pass with the accelerated...

    CO Retuned Muzzleloader Elk Hunt

    Awesome hunt! Love a good muzzy story.

    Bipartisan legislation proposed to postpone wolf reintroduction in CO

    Never underestimate the immense arrogance of Colorado’s Denver/Boulder ruling political class, thinking that they can dictate the actions of Wyoming citizens. You may be able force policies on Colorado’s rural residents against their will but that doesn’t extend past the state line. Wyoming’s...

    Bipartisan legislation proposed to postpone wolf reintroduction in CO

    I don’t blame Wyoming one bit. After hearing how the many wolf activists described legal hunting and hunters during the CPW wolf management public comments, I sure wouldn’t want my name out there as a hunter who successfully harvested a wolf. It was crazy. Hopefully, folks will cool their...

    Historically-representative ecosystem management

    Incredibly well written and thought-provoking piece! I think there may be merit in this, particularly in states where "mutualism" is taking root. However, we don't want to exclude many of our "multi-use" partners as they are great allies in wildlife conservation. For hunting to survive we do...

    Federal government to eliminate funding for archery, hunter education in public schools

    I wrote Bennet and Hickenlooper to ask why they did not sign the letter. Would seem like an easy win with Sinema, Heinrich, and Kelly all signing on. Hickenlooper’s response to my initial email regarding interpretation of the BSCA by Dept of Education just reiterated their focus on keeping...

    America needs Hunting

    Need to find a way to get past paywall. Hunters desperately need more voices like this.

    Marcus & Kara - My favorite FT episode

    Love it. Incredibly positive and powerful representation of hunters. Gonna need a lot more media like this to weather the storm. Great work.

    Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission

    Words do matter and with the new Washington wildlife department’s stated policy, they have completely removed any mention of hunting from wildlife conservation policy. They are setting up the long, slow demise of hunting in Washington. Are all democrats to blame? Of course not. We have to be...

    The Fallacy of “Spreading Out The Use” in Land Management

    Both those responses looked pretty good. Down here in Colorado, I be shocked to get honest responses like that from the trio of Hickenlooper, Bennet, and Polis.

    Illinois gun ban ruled "constitutional".

    Yikes. Who decides what people make it into the 10% that are worthy of exercising their constitutional right? Pretty condescending angle. I don't dispute that there are some guns sold to people who have no business owning firearms but I wouldn't put it anywhere close to 90%. Maybe increase gun...

    Federal government to eliminate funding for archery, hunter education in public schools

    Absolutely, it is never a simple binary calculation. Some folks try to boil it down to that in order to make a point. What do you do when your “pro-public lands” politician seeks to stack the wildlife commission with anti-hunting, animal rights activists?

    Call to Action - Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission Meeting

    Very disappointing to hear and watch. I hope Colorado hunters are paying attention because this same problem is headed their way in a hurry. Jeff Davis and Jared Polis are injecting mutualism and animal rights activists into the commission as fast as they can.

    Call to Action - Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission Meeting

    When I hear folks on the WA and CO wildlife commissions talk about “social science”, I get really worried. For me “social science” in wildlife management is like “Hey I don’t like hunting, if I can convince enough people to not like hunting too (through emotional pleas and misinformation) I can...

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

    Interesting article in the Atlantic regarding housing shortages and NIMBYism in Montana. Curious what the Montana HuntTalkers have to say on it.... https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/rural-montana-housing-crisis-supply/674950/
