CPW director leaving
Vail Daily Good neutral article about the money side of things. Looks like the reporter got a lot of info from Kelly Shen the Senior Budget Analyst for the state who does the numbers on parks and wildlife. It looks like the reintroduction has to continue even without enough funds. They've...- one ate E grain

CPW director leaving
Colorado has about 2% of the beef cows in the US. A worse problem than the beef is the loss of the ranchers. Often the ranches are multi generational, some of the last people living out in the areas we like and making a living off the natural resources of the land. When people live in a place...- one ate E grain

CPW director leaving
I'm sorry for all folks who hunt in Colorado, the writing has been on the wall for at least 10 years, Polis just accelerated things. There's nothing to be done. The urban front range has more voters all the time. Reasonable people who aren't necessarily anti hunting voted to bring wolves in and...- one ate E grain

WTF Ford!
I bought a diesel dually with a regular 8' bed, crew cab. It's good for pulling the trailer with concrete or the bobcat, handles the truck camper, but to pick up a gallon of milk or go bid a job, nope. So I bought a Tacoma, wife stole it. Bought another Tacoma, boy stole it. Here I am driving...- one ate E grain

American Prairie - 88,000 acres of access
I read the first page of comments carefully, then saw there were 11 more pages :confused: It's better than turning the land into ranchettes, ,,, I guess. I'd be much happier if it were turned into public land with the stipulation it's never sold or developed but used for conservation and...- one ate E grain

WTF Ford!
The commercial side of most dealers sell trucks without the super or crew or whatever they call it, just a regular cab like days of old, you'd have to buy the pickup bed separate and have it put on, plus the trucks are usually 350s and up.- one ate E grain

B & C Study - 96% Poachers Get Away
There is an attitude amongst some that some forms of poaching are simply not following the exact rule, kind of like purchasing personal items on your business credit card so you pay smaller taxes. Private land out of season hunting is the most egregious here, also shooting an elk for your...- one ate E grain

Recreation.gov Fees
License fees are minimal, costs more than that to have an employee process them. I think most places sell for the Division of Wildlife to get you in the door and sell you some camo. Recreation.gov and the concessionaires that run many campgrounds are a different kettle of fish. They make a...- one ate E grain

National Guard helicopter lands on private property; elk antlers stolen
Just thought I'd add one more helicopter pilot story. We used to have this guy loved to chase animals. Bear, moose, deer, whatever. I used to have a picture of a moose's ear about eighteen inches away from the pilot's right foot pedal. Doors off. One day down in Utah, I forget where, someone...- one ate E grain

CO Gov appoints radical animal rights extremist as Director State Land Board
Nothing will happen. Polis has appointed crazy people to the wildlife commission ever since he was elected. Polis' "first gentleman" is an animal extremist, regarding both wildlife and domestic. The colorado ag community has little influence anymore. It's all about development and recreation now.- one ate E grain

Big tree thread
Backpack for scale is at about chest high. I couldn't tell if this was a dipterocarp as I couldn't see up through the canopy to see if it was sticking up through. It's along side of the Nam Fa which empties into the Mekong about 50km above Thailand and 100km below China. Big sandbar in the...- one ate E grain

CO Bill to ban Semi rifles and shotguns moves to senate floor.
I think the CPW is only on the hook (with our Pittman Robertson bucks) to teach a regular hunter safety course for a small stipend by volunteers and they have the opportunity to enthuse some new hunters. The extra course is taught privately by any org or person authorized by the sheriff. I was...- one ate E grain

No detachable magazines on automatics....Here we go again...
I had to take a class and register with the sheriff to get my CC license. Not much difference that I can see. Hunter safety is a very good basic gun safety course, and if some people have an IQ too low to pass the test or if they aren't comfortable going to the sheriff for a background check...- one ate E grain

E-bike Access?
I don't care either way. Mountain bikes are the scourge, if mountain bikes can go I'm ok if people e bike, dirt bike, ATV, whatever they want. I spend most of my time off trail to get away from the "recreationists" anyway. Most people can't even walk around in the woods without getting lost...- one ate E grain

2 new appointees
In reading the article this part stood out. emphasize the importance of equity and access Here I thought "equity" had faded from popular usage ever since we learned that it means equal outcomes, like you got a seven point elk so I who have never gotten one should have first dibs on a choice...- one ate E grain
