I've always been confused by what the goal/intent of the whole process was. When Haskett pushed for it, we supposedly needed to simplify. Nothings simple, this isn't simpler. Is it a better system with these changes? Will applicants be less or more confused? Will those penalized be massively...
Ah yes, talk of unneeded regulation with the communists on hunttalk will be dealt with by shaming and 3rd grade name calling...still waiting for a valid reason why a bow needs to be cased on a side by side or atv. Is that a complaint, no it is a discussion about regulations and their validity...
If you have a loaded rifle, it's a problem, someone could be killed. It is not a problem with a bow, no safety issue whatsoever.
No one grabs a bow bungee corded to an atv, and gets a shot off. Ain't happening.
You still mad because resident bowhunters kept otc licensing led by a shit ton of...
Really a strange regulation for bows. Without it, are you going to stop your machine and have time to take a shot? I struggle with the reg intent and purpose for a bow.
That said, the case does keep the mud off my bow.
I have never seen or heard Carole Baskin, but never forget we are talking about denver, Boulder, and Fort collins voters. Logical talking points don't matter, emotion will to them.
So hypothetical...rules change. Units are 50 % points, 50% random. Unit X takes 7 points to draw. Resident Hunter 1 has 4 points. New rules kick in, he does not want to blow his points on any tag from a 2nd, 3rd, 4th leftover, or even a B list cow tag so he applies only as first choice and...
Please tell me just what is going to happen when a guy with a decent point total doesn't want to spend them on an A tag that is not worth his total points? He is going to stay home and not hunt. We will just sell that tag to a nonresident who has piles of points in multiple states and could care...
I just read the memo, can't figure out why we would switch backwards from 80/20 to 75/25. That would be a NO testimony at the PWC for me.
Must be overwhelmed now with outfitters and tag pimps.
Now down a sportsmen rep without skiba. Can you guys filibuster until a real sportsmen is nominated...
Maybe this has been posted here before, saw it on rokslide. Honest, objective discussion, history, court cases, pricing, etc. Every Colorado wildlife commissioner should watch this.
Good grief, you think this is about points?
Why, with 280,000 elk, should 14-15,000 residents bow hunters be limited, when ~60,000 OTC rifle hunters both resident and nonresident, are not, and can get a point and hunt every year? That is the CPW recomendation.
OMG! I pm'd you to have a personal one on one conversation about your grievances, giving you my phone number. I have crossed the internet line, forgive me. An unforgivable offense, no doubt. Sheesh. Crazy times, crazy attitudes.
Yea me too, my mistake was thinking there might be compassion for others here. Lol.
I guess I've never heard a valid reason why 14,000 or 15,000 resident otc archers should be limited when we have 280000 elk. Does any elk state do that? No state treats it own residents worse.
I'm not really...
