Messing up a wet dream - MTFWP big 3 draw
And then Gordon Darby (fka Kalkomey) takes some of that $800K to pay the influencing community that helped them get those licensing contracts with glowing reviews in the Billings Gazette and other places. Not saying it happened, but Gordon Darby has marketing dollars to spend. If Gordon...- 232401a

Messing up a wet dream - MTFWP big 3 draw
In healthcare, we kill hundreds of Americans annually over simple medication errors similar to what occurred here. The point system debacle is a bigger reason Hank needs to go than a few ram and bull moose tags. But sure, Hank should have set up better processes. The ram/bull tags here...- 232401a

May CPW Commission meeting
CO premium deer and elk units would be 100 point draws under a Utah or Wyoming model with split preference/bonus designs. No preference point component can exist for these types of hunt codes. They just saturate too quickly. CO understood that when they designed weighted MSG (straight... -

FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness
Is Gordon Darby (fka Kalkomey) sponsoring influencers yet? They better or they're going to have company soon. -

May CPW Commission meeting
Any other commissioners have any valid ideas in the hopper to get CO points used up? To get tags in hands for more dollars from those high point holders? Most of those high point holders aren’t going to “waste” their points to get out of the mess CPW created with their 40 year demonstration... -

Several Montana based state jobs will now end up outsourced to an out of state company. -

2023 Wyoming?
IF Wyoming is truly letting the CC banks make that 2.5% money, that is disgusting waste. But consider New Mexico for a moment. Some of us put $8,000 annually on CC with New Mexico every year. But yet NM does NOT charge a 2.5% credit card fee. New Mexico only charges a ~$69 base hunting...- 232401a

I wouldn't waste any money on points across various states - far too late for that, even at 27 years of age. Focus on one - probably Montana. And focus on wilderness backpack hunt as the only way to get away from the 4-wheelers you're sick of. Backpacking for a spike hunt can also open up...- 232401a

Curious, what got you interested in applying out west? Are you from anywhere close to the northeast? Do you apply for canadian moose in the NE states? (Maine, VT, NH)- 232401a

Matt Rinella gives a talk at Pope and Young
My guess is Matt Rinella paid his own travel expenses (post-tax, like the common man) and food/hotel in Reno for the P&Y convention. Speakers fee from P&Y? Maybe? Whereas, his brother & Newberg travel pre-tax (deductible business expense) and are wined & dined by their sponsors when they...- 232401a

CO BHS Application vs Allocation
Key Dates: 2018 - 2.5-3X bump in MSG apps. Because, 2018 was first year of no tag money up front. 2019; 30-40% DECREASE in apps when the $50 Res/$100 NR MSG point fees started. VERY Slick move by CPW to give everyone that free point/year for MSG in 2018. Then, when $50/$100 started that...- 232401a

ID nonres sheep/Moose/Goat apps?
You are correct. I just reviewed all NR Idaho ram odds in GoHunt and Toprut, side by side. Gohunt is consistently showing 2-3x better NR ram odds than Toprut. Several units showing as high as 1.4%, 1.7%, 1.9%, 2.4%, 2.8% at GoHunt. But all NR ram hunt codes are 0.2-0.7% at Toprut. The...- 232401a

NR Ram? If GoHunt is showing a 2.5% NR Ram unit in Idaho, you should ask for your money back for your insider subscription.- 232401a

Utah Done
And that kind of thing will still happen, especially because “regular” LE/OIL tags are weighted random (bonus), NOT true/simple random (like NM, ID, AK). If a young person wants to hunt a mountain goat, put that $225 away for 30 years and put those proceeds towards a goat up north. A more...- 232401a

Utah Done
Yeah, at $120 base license and $15/species (=$225?), you probably should stay in Utah with 12 points even though you missed that important 2009 bubble. Live in Colorado and only have 5 points? Gotta retire Utah. Live anywhere and thinking of just starting Utah in 2023? F'n crazy. Do...- 232401a
