    If there are 100 tags and only 90 first choice applicants, the remaining 10 tags can be drawn by people who applied for the hunt with their second choice. If there are only 5 second choice applicants, the remaining 5 tags can then be drawn by people who applied for the hunt with their 3rd...

    What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement

    I’m not sure if this as directed at my reply or not as you didn’t quote anyone, but I’ll assume it was directed at me. Yes, WI is experiencing die off. CWD is 100% fatal. Aaron Rodgers is not actually a god. Your denial that there is a problem is the most alarming aspect of this discussion...

    What I learned about CWD after 17 years of direct involvement

    Yes it is. You just haven't noticed it yet. If I have to pick between people who get paid to deal with CWD vs people whose qualification is internet access and one figure that is sufficiently coordinated to type, I’ll go with the pros. I’m struggling to see any difference between the CWD...

    Colorado big game dates

    Some people believe that increasing the amount of time between the rifle seasons would increasing the likelihood elk will move back into public ground from private.

    Colorado big game dates

    Rifle season dates were not changed to address CWD, but tag numbers were increased in units with high CWD prevalence. In units where deer move onto private land by 3rd season, the later dates may not have much impact as deer will be inaccessible to public hunters. In units where deer are still...

    Question on Twist Rate

    Greenhill’s formula can be used to supposedly calculate the optimal twist rate for a bullet. Over stabilization doesn’t seem to be a much of a problem in the real world though.

    Anyone else getting excited for hard water?

    You should first spend some time learning about ice safety. Lots of you tube videos and online articles. Ice thickness can vary considerably between areas of a lake. Creek mouths and pressure ridges should be avoided. Don’t assume because other folks are on the ice that it is safe everywhere. I...

    Dogs and Chocolate

    If your dog gets into chocolate or other things and you catch it early, you can make them vomit it back up with 3% hydrogen peroxide. One teaspoon per 10lbs of dog. We mixed it with yogart to get the dog to eat it. It worked well when our puppy ate a piece of ribbon. Glad your pooch is...

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    In 2019, the recommendations from CPW to the Wildlife Commission was a 7% increase in buck tags and 6% increase in doe tags. Doe tag increases were proposed in units that were at or above objective and not for the purpose of CWD management. The buck tag increase was proposed for units that...

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    I referenced the WI/IL whitetail data in response to another members post. I agree, a high density resident WT deer population in WI is much different than a combination of resident and migrating populations of WT, MD, Elk and Moose and probably has little bearing on CWD management in WY or CO...

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    Hmm. So you believe the same people that manage "the mule deer factory of America" have suddenly become incompetent? Your statement actually made me laugh because CO hunters complain about CPW and the lack of deer in our state just like hunters in other states, the complainers just aren't on...

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    I don't now what you would consider a lot of evidence, but there is evidence from CO that more liberal harvest of deer (Red Feather/Poudre Area) reduced CWD prevalence and contributes to prevalence remaining low (Middle Park Area) vs. some other areas of CO which had a 10x increase in prevalence...

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    What is the alternative? Do nothing? Prayer? Wait for a vaccine that may never be developed? Even if a vaccine was developed, how the hell do you innoculate an entire deer or elk herd? Ted Nugent conspiracy theories?
