They did away with them when we brought it to their attention. Scour the regs though, we also had to suggest maybe doing away with list B cow tags would help with crowding. I'm sure you can find something
Yea, your right, I need to apologize. Men without balls get their feelings hurt, wouldn't want to do that in the age of substituting truth and facts for feelings, equity diversity and inclusion. Shame on me, please forgive me for being pissed cause I've been shit on, and get hims and haws from...
It amazes me how folks can read a dam letter to the editor or some biased TRCP article and not question any of it. Must be gospel around here if it comes from left leaning TRCP or BHA.
Everyone still points back to Vail and E-16, where CPW shot the crap out of the herd, and needed a scapegoat...
Bunch of scaredy cats and wimps on this website?
Settle for being shit on, thats what I'm hearing.
Don't want to drive to gateway Colorado, how about a committee meeting room at the capital biulding in denver then? Parking will be worse then gateway.
What legislator hoping to get reelected...
I've been knocking on doors for senator Rob Woodward. If reelected, he will run a bill in 2023 to set things right. Sportsmen would need to support it.
The commission process is a failure
It really is time for legislation to solve this once and for all. The greed on the part of all parties is crazy. Cpw makes 50 million more then expenses. Outfitters earn 200k a year, while the median income for resident in rural Colorado is near poverty levels.
Like I said before, Rob Woodward is ready to run a bill AGAIN to set resident allocations in state law. While the PWC may want to keep their revenue going up, checks and balances do exist. I'll get behind legislation, when the PWC fails again to do the right thing AGAIN. It is time.
If you think...
Why in the hell would anyone advocate for higher resident fees? Future generations was supposed to deliver a big game access program, which would distribute hunters, and lead to less crowding. 7 million acres in block management, but we lease out the overgrazed state trust lands for 75 cents an...
Im still shocked when folks say "limit it" without any idea of who is the root cause of "overcrowding'. At the SW region roundtable, the discussion of of limited 521 had no data on WHO is causing the overcrowding. We can't solve the real problem?
Then you get "the herds can't take it" crowd...
Thanks for posting the recap, it's sure accurate. I know some for a number of reasons oppose legislation, but in all honesty I think it's time to get on board for a legislative remedy. When know onlistens or cares, it's the only recourse left.
If you look at OTC specifically, second/third rifle are about a 65/35 split. If you look at OTC archery residents are now outnumbered by nonresidents.
Maybe as CPW and the PWC narrow their "focus". They should start with capping NR's in OTC archery elk. Lose 4,000 of them, its a 2.8M haircut...
Wonder how many unborn calves were aborted being chased through fences by those "St. Bernards"? Maybe...all of them?
I guess we can add that DAU to the list of low calf recruitment units. Would that be unit 49?
That letter to the governor was freaking unbelievable. It's everyone's fault, Dan, Dan, and Shane. Wahhhh.
Sounds like they all had a good group cry though.
My pastor likes to talk about all the hardships God has in store for his people, but having your feelings hurt and being offended isn't...
That stakeholder group is going to be a stacked deck.
Isn't it discriminatory to demand the facilitator be non-white male?
This whole thing is moving fast to "nonlethal management" of wolves. Tie a bell on your boots boys, that will be "wolf management".
Of the 11 commissioners, McDaniel and Schafer hunt big game avidly. Haskett as an outfitter may, and certainly understands the issues. Not sure about the new ag reps.
Anyone see that as an issue?
The buzzwords in bgss were we have to "limit" for the "resource". What was voted in ain't gonna...
Yea lets focus on the resource - Ok. That will take a couple minutes.
ELK. We can discuss it in less then one minute. In May CPW stated 42 elk herds are above objective, 5 elk herds are below objective, and the rest are within management goals. We have 287,000 elk according to CPW. In GMU 14...
The system isn't working? for 75% of our survey respondents the most important criteria is a guaranteed license. I personally have hunted unit 10, unit 61, drawn bighorn, drawn moose, hunted grizzly, caribou, dall sheep, and get ample licenses every year. I've drawn Wyoming limited elk 7 times...
