Her comments on the habitat stamp/license requirement for SWA access brought slavery and stolen land into the conversation. She was having conversations with people off camera on mute pretty often, definitely not giving her undivided attention.
@Milehighwonder get the G6 map from Huntdata.com They will send you a waterproof map with all of the goat kill locations on record for the unit. I'm in the same process for my goat hunt this year. Then burn the boot leather and glass! The Gore range is no joke! I've seen goats 6 hour hikes in...
In lighter news, Gov. Polis has appointed James Jay Tuchton (Laywer for Wildearth Guardians) to the CPW Commission to represent a non-consumptive, non profit on the commission. Interesting choice, not good in my opinion. Some of his notable cases include suing the USFWS for de-listing and state...

Weren't people complaining that the draw wasn't transparent enough and that senators and G&F people were drawing a lot of tags? I don't remember for sure but I thought that was the push to do this?
Had an amazing season on OTC birds and was lucky enough to see 6 hit the dirt! All of them came in gobbling their heads off except for bird#3 that gobbled once and came in silent 10 minutes later.
