    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    In probably 95% of the cases, a bull with a 5" brow tine will have four points, so it is pretty rare that these two rules would be contradictory. If I understand Roadtrips points correctly, he would like to see all wildlife in this country managed by the federal government rather than by the...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Roadtrip, While I agree with you that reducing out-of-state tag prices for non-residents in Colorado could increase the amount of hunting here I would like to point out that you do not support the management of wildlife in this state with your federal taxes. You support the management of the...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Just thought I'd point out that a 4 point bull, which is the minimum legal size in most units, is not 2 per side, as Shaky seemed to indicate,... its 4 per side.

    Shiras Moose????

    I saw the same bull shiras every day while hunting elk last year. Picked up one of his sheds (I assume it was his) during my elk hunt this year. He was a pretty good one (although I'm no judge of them)... maybe a bit better than DS's pictures.

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    I hunted transition habitat. I've been experimenting over the years with different seasons to see when the elk move through there. So far, I haven't got it nailed down. Its an area that contains sign from different seasons. There are wallows and rub trees. The aspen are barked. I find...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    It was a strange year, for sure. I hunted a lower area that has a number of elk in it all year round. I expected to see more elk in there this year since the elk had supposedly moved down already. But I saw fewer elk than I normally do. The range looked in pretty good condition to me...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    Thanks, Oak... Although it always seems that you get contradictory information depending on who you talk to about some of this stuff. A DOW officer we talked to in the fall said that the animals were heading down early because the drought conditions had little forage up high. Now they are...

    Colorado Elk Harvest falls short again......

    I thought the DOW was concerned about the winter kill this year. That the range was in such poor condition, due to the drought, going into the winter, that many, many elk would starve. Has this fear gone away?

    BLM looses in court in South Dakota

    So, Troy... it all boils down to recreation vs. feeding the people, eh? It sure is comforting to hear that our government workers are so enlightened! All - Again, my understanding of this topic is sketchy, and I certainly didn't mean for it to center around pheasants. I believe the lawsuite...

    BLM looses in court in South Dakota

    sdgunslinger... please understand that I'm not positive PF was involved in this. Their name was dropped in connection somehow, but its hard to say what their involvement was or was not without knowing first-hand, which I don't. But on the other hand, nobody is bilking anybody out of anything...

    BLM looses in court in South Dakota

    My understanding of the details of this thing is sketchy, but apparently a group of organizations (including conservation organizations like Pheasants Forever) has successfully sued the BLM for allowing overgrazing by livestock. The range in areas out there has been found to no longer have...

    Wolves are legal????????

    So what is this allmighty 'reason' wolves were wiped out for in the first place...that a number on here keep bringing up? The history that I've seen/read on the topic suggests it was mostly ignorance and fear. I'm no fan of the wolf and don't like these reintroductions at all, but falling back...

    G.W. says yes to more roads.

    Just another example of Republican wilderness-related land ethics.... Rights Of Way Restrictions Eased WASHINGTON, DC, February 6, 2003 (ENS) - A controversial plan to ease restrictions on granting rights of way across public lands went into effect on Wednesday. The rule allows roads and...

    How many days afield?

    12 days for me, including one day goose hunting that was a total bust.

    Did you ever think it would go this far?

    If our government would spend a little less money on militarily bullying other countries, promoting welfare mothers, providing cell phone service to urban areas, etc.... there would be plenty of funds to maintain trails.

    Losing Touch With the Great Outdoors

    You know... when you are about to become a parent for the first time (like I am) you start noticing things you never really noticed before. Like how screwed up most of the kids in my neighborhood are and how obsessed they and even some of the adults are with video games. Some of these guys...

    Hunter's public image.

    Danr... I completely agree with what you just wrote. However, I do feel there are a number of specific hunting-related activities that need no 'selling' by those desirous of ending all hunting. There are just some things that cross the line to many people who othewise wouldn't care one way or...
