The new house is wonderful and we are enjoying the peace and quiet out here. We had a local home builder we trusted and who listened to use. Working remotely is outstanding as well!
Any HuntTalkers who are traveling through or hunting in the Pagosa Springs, CO or Chama, NM areas are welcome...
2023 was a busy and blessed year for us. We were on the home stretch of building a new home in Chromo, Colorado. To keep our sanity, we got out over the summer to relax and catch a few fish. Sitting in a boat seems to fix most of life’s issues.
The summer went by quickly...
I have tried to treat you with respect, both on this thread and in PMs. You make it very hard to continue doing that. Don’t you have somewhere else to be? I don’t think anyone would miss you here, permanently by Big Fin’s magic wand would be fine by me. You are caustic for the sake of being...
Well for once we kind of agree. The hunting in CO is going downhill quick because of the unfortunate political atmosphere. My wife and I have an exit strategy and two states are on the short list. One of them being WY.
I don’t rant, rave and whine about the situation, I change my situation...
But I don’t want to move from a western state, as hunting is a priority in my life. I have made decisions and sacrifices my entire life to live out here in order to take advantage of the hunting opportunities it affords me.
If you want to hunt more, don’t complain just move. Maybe you and Buzz...
Ok. I am happy to hear things are going well for you and your family. I hope you have a blessed day and join the conversation in a more positive way. Take care.
Dang. All of your name calling and anger prove you likely need to make some changes in your life. Everyone else here seems to be having adult conversations, even when we don’t agree.
I would do my part by paying higher resident fees here in CO. 90/10 across the board would be outstanding here and I support WY in pursuing it there (where I am a NR).
After going through all 20 pages of this thread, so far, my takeaway is you are, by far, the whiniest individual I have seen on HuntTalk for years.
You make me want to go reread Bill Christy posts for fun. Change your circumstances in life or quit bitching.
Sad in every way and I hope your...
100% Buzz! Very insightful and accurate...for me at least. I also wouldn't change a thing as it has allowed me to get to a comfortable place it life.
Sheep hunts are fun, but overrated anyway. Oak, KHunter, and KHunters brother are losing their mind at that comment, but it doesn't mean it...
Elkmagnet,
Many people have assisted me over the years and I try to return the favor as much as I can. I have hunted 5B N/S during the late rifle hunt with some success. Send me a PM and we can visit.
After 25 years, I can help with most anything that falls under risk management - safety, security, workers compensation, insurance, and emergency management. Unfortunately, I have a lot of experience in preparing for and mitigating active shooter events in K-12 and higher education. Its a...
I am out of the elk draw completely. I burned max points last year and won’t start again. WY is wonderful, but there are other places to hunt elk. I may well be a resident there in the not too distant future. If so, I will get back in.
Well done WY for taking care of residents first. CO could...
Absolutely. If you can afford it, do it. As stated by others, land rarely goes down in value.
I close on recreational property in June. No regrets the way hunting is trending.
I am not worried about you finding any places that I hunt. Those two units are absolutely overrun with hunters (who are overwhelmingly NRs, check the data) and very poor quality hunts. When I am unable to hunt other units in CO, I grudgingly go here as a fourth or fifth choice because it is in...
