    Devaluing Non-Residents

    None of this is about opportunity or tags fees. The NR bellyaching is a bunch whiners that feel the world owes them something. You're not entitled to a 6 point bull in Wyoming or Colorado just because you scroll GoHunt all day and buy preference points. There are more opportunities to hunt the...

    Colorado Sheep And Goat draw

    CC just got hit for $319! Only a nanny tag but excited to spend some time in the high country.

    Front Range Turkeys

    Find stands of ponderosa and do some scouting. In my experience, finding the general area birds are using isn’t tough. Cover ground and look for scrapes in the pine needles. Merriam’s don’t roost in a given tree with consistency. One day they’re on a ridge, the next you’ll find them a mile...

    Ryan Busse. Anyone?

    The assumptions and vitriol directed at Busse by folks who haven't taken the time to read the book is frustrating. It's indicative of the themes he wrote about in the book and encapsulates American political discourse pretty well. I don't agree with Busse on everything but the book is a...

    Bye-bye Teddy

    The original post was made with the intention of lighting a fire and highlighting the societal rift in this country. If not, why mention Biden? Why does post #2 reference George Floyd? There are forum members that apparently think this is Facebook. I can’t tell you how many times I ate lunch...

    Bye-bye Teddy

    Curious whether the OP has actually been to AMNH or if he’s just feigning outrage about something happening in NYC? And yes, it’s reactive and wrong to remove the statue.

    Colorado SB 22-031 Ban on Bobcat and Lion Hunting

    Agreed. This is unlikely to make it out of committee. Regardless, I hammered Sen. Ginal's phone yesterday and finally got a call back. We chatted for about 10 minutes. Although she didn't make a commitment to pull support for the bill she expressed concerns. It felt like an honest conversation...

    WY 2021 deer/antelope results

    Wyoming's wildlife should be valued more than current prices indicate. There are places where the North American Model is in danger, Wyoming doesn't appear to be one of them. If an additional $50-75 dollars per doe tag is an impediment to someone making a trip to Wyoming, so be it. When you...

    Elk vs. Wolves

    I suspect in in 40 years when hunting and gun rights have withered away we'll have rhetoric like this to thank.

    "Free" Toprut? Didn't see that coming

    The user experience on Toprut falls way short of GoHunt. Missing info on some species, antlerless tags, etc. Thankfully, outside of a few states with complex draw systems, it doesn't require much work to figure of draw odds. I think GoHunt or Toprut are better used as "cheat sheets." Until...

    CO: Reissue & Leftover Process potential change

    wllm1313, thanks for helping to articulate my point. Shop dudes at an empty license counter aren't abusing the system. Neither was I, when I minimized the spreadsheets on my monitor to refresh the list every 10 minutes. We're all trying to cut the line. My concern is the efficiency of buying...

    CO: Reissue & Leftover Process potential change

    I'm not saying that my buddies or any particular shop will get all of the tags. But there are plenty of outdoor stores, fly shops, gas stations and outfitters with license portals. You don't think guys working in a shop near Craig aren't going to be logged in and ready to go when there's a...

    CO: Reissue & Leftover Process potential change

    I've seen it happen. Not necessarily high-point "glory tags" but it takes less than 5 minutes to pick off 10 tags for employees and friends. It's hard to say how pervasive it's been the past few years, since only "Reissue Day" mattered. I can't imagine this flaw won't be exploited this summer...

    First Time Grouse Hunt

    The warden for that area is well informed and I have trouble believing he wouldn't identify an exceedingly rare Prairie Chicken. Not to mention those sharpies are flushing from at 100 yard. You would exceptional lucky to knock down 5 birds in late December. But great story....
