Now tie that to species, sex and populations, and differentiate by otc vs limited licenses please.
Then show applications before and after pay later, then tie in fee increases.
I forget which year the heyday of elk was, maybe 320,000 or so?
Yea, ya got me there because I have no idea how to respond to that. In 1947, there wasn't a statewide archery season. In 1958, you could probably draw a sheep tag every year. I think Wayne Depperschmidt told me he has drawn 8 sheep tags, he is 85. In 1947 and 1958 we had no nonresidents limits...
Look forward to it. Hot chocolate, coffee, water, lemonade - whatever.
Last year at the cba banquet we partnered with I think PDC energy. Every youth in attendance walked out the door with I believe a $1,000 gift card for a new bow. Recruiting resident voters, in my mind, is a really good way...
Excuse me? 5 years ago during bgss we had the exact same proposal. I wrote it. Good grief. I remember testifying in telluride. Every person besides me stood and said limit it. What happened is exactly what we said will happen. 67 percent of licenses went nr's. 12 bulls per 100 cows in one dau...
Cpws own survey doesn't support their own preference! Public input be damned!
If you ever want to discuss your grievance, send me a pm. Not sure I can solve it, but discussion can lead to healing, and less bitterness.
When there is nothing left in the checking account, you drop out. When you drop out, you don't vote against the next ballot initiative. If you remember the broscheid era, everything was about hunter recruitment. Problem was the ads and promotion was everywhere, but Colorado.
I gave my old bows...
The cost of everything is an issue these days. I need a $2,000 dishwasher replacement. I have a senior in High School, priced college lately? Rent? Mortage? Property insurance? They tried to triple my county taxes. My property insurance and car insurance was increased to 12% of my gross income...
See the link for details, This is the CBA BGSS committee analysis & recommendations to the CBA membership and the bowhunting community. Members should get a CBA email soon.
I know most folks on this site understand the issues and do lodge comment, just a reminder and some talking points we see...
I haven't listened to the recording yet in length. I'm not neccesarily opposed to either of these scenarios, but if the objective is "to simplify" I'm not sure how that simplifies.
It would keep people applying with points to unit 2, 10, and 201 with false hope, which keeps them away from my...
If you look up the Cats aren't trophies group on Facebook, they are doing a webinar on Jan 30th for those interested. Be careful about making any comments on their FB page, they blocked me in nothing flat.
Interestingly, they have brought in disgraced former HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle to assist. If...
If a hunter has say 5 points, what percent of them would apply for a zero point hunt code as a first choice? the data says about 20% of the prior OTC residents would, and about 50% of the prior OTC nonresidents would.
Geeze, start standing up for your dam neighbors. They played by the rules...
And then we wonder why we lose at the ballot. Voters who hunt matter. If they don't draw, they never start or quit, we all lose. Personally, I'd like to recruit resident hunters because they vote in favor of it. I guess if you can't draw tag you can always bowl or golf, but will they vote to...
Im not mad at all about human behavior, if I wouldn't be pointing it out, who would?
I'm in the landowner draw. I get to cheat, but it doesn't mean I'm not a public draw advocate, that should be the level playing field. If this PLO OTC paper wouldn't have passed, the public draw would have had...
The zero point hunt code dilemma. It is a fact. The newly limited units will draw out at zero, nonresidents will draw most of the tags. The facts, are the facts. Our existing policy needs tweaked. Would this ever happen in any other western state? Why is it ok here?
Because many have no problem...
Really? Hunters are their own worst enemies.
Unit 77 archery has 1100 tags. Zero point unit, draws out on 2nd choice. When it was OTC 2754 people hunted it. 1100 tags in the quota now, and residents only deserve 265 of them? That is what your saying. Your own dissatisfaction with points, yet...
