    Boulder Hunting Ban

    Agree to disagree. I see hunting making a positive impact in many people’s lives and I see hunters making an overall positive impact. Are we perfect? No, but I see more good than negative. You may be correct about folks in Boulder, I don’t have any definitive polling/survey data. I think most...

    Boulder Hunting Ban

    I think I understand your sentiment but I try to refrain from casting a large community as arrogant, unintelligent assholes. Pretty certain the Boulder power brokers are looking to eliminate hunting and gun ownership to the extent possible. And I find it hard to believe that their intent is...

    Boulder Hunting Ban

    Lewd comments? Really? Didn’t see any comments that were offensive in a sexual, vulgar way. Ignorant? Possibly, but I believe that’s a bit of a stretch also. Do I believe that insulting non-hunters is counter-productive, absolutely. But eliminating hunting on public land over bogus “safety”...

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Reform the EAJA for wildlife

    Maybe judges should do better in limiting this type of litigation. That may be a separate issue from EAJA reform though. Clearly the EAJA writers had the best of intentions when crafting this legislation, protecting the ability of citizens with little means to challenge the government in court...

    Stoking the fire

    Great post. I find that many times the planning, preparation, and pursuit are the truly enjoyable parts of hunting.

    Good for you Botswana

    And the German ban on “trophies” will actually hurt wildlife in Africa. Botswana is also being honest about that.

    Good for you Botswana

    If the ban won’t affect trophy hunting in Botswana then why is the Botswana government so upset? Seems weird. It’s about desired outcomes. Pretty obvious that the desired outcome of the ban is to eliminate Germans from trophy hunting in places like Botswana.

    Good for you Botswana

    My point is that when people use the term “trophy hunting” it means very different things to different people. When most folks here use the term it has no emotional baggage or ill intent, just plainly describing the nature of the hunt. These informed individuals also understand the conservation...

    Good for you Botswana

    So the meat is just discarded? Left to rot? I haven’t hunted Africa but that isn’t my understanding of it.

    Good for you Botswana

    Another example of the hypocrisy in the anti-hunting movement with their use of the term “trophy hunting”.

    CPW investigating credible report of suspected wolf depredation in Grand County

    Oh boy, next CPW Commission meeting should be lively. This must be fake news, the multitude of pro-wolf advocates who spoke at the meetings swore that they were gonna support the ranchers with non-lethal means that would prevent most any depredation. I also seem to recall them stating that...

    Boulder Hunting Ban

    Just saw this one in a BHA email. Thanks for highlighting this. As goes Boulder….. so goes Colorado. They have the current Governor and may have the next. I just wish the Boulder anti-gun, anti-hunting zealots would be honest. Just admit that you despise gun owners and hunters and you are...

    WISCONSIN GOVERNOER LETTER TO STATE SNATE

    I searched for where they set the number in statute and couldn’t find it in the bill. My read of the bill was that the legislature wanted the wildlife agency to set a population goal in the management plan. So a wildlife agency setting a population goal in their management plan prevents...

    WISCONSIN GOVERNOER LETTER TO STATE SNATE

    I understand the concern with legislators making prescriptive wildlife management decisions and retaining flexibility for wildlife agencies. But is it really so awful to expect a wildlife agency to have a population goal within their management plan? That is straight out of the anti-hunting...
