    Colorados new first rifle deer

    What are my thoughts on this tag? I don't like it. I always liked first rifle for elk because of lower hunter pressure due to no deer hunters. I hope they don't continue to expand the GMU's that offer a first rifle deer hunt. Regarding your question about where will the deer be, it will be...

    Glad I read the article - I learned a new word today - you don't kill chickens, you depopulate them.

    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    The packout is the most important issue. I hunt solo, the last bull I killed was 1.7 miles from the truck. At my age (68) it takes me 6 loads to pack out a boned out bull plus the skull/antlers. What a lot of newbies don't realize is that 1.7 miles ends up being 18.7 miles when it's all said and...

    2 new appointees

    I can't comment on either of those new ones but was really disappointed to see Tuchton reappointed.

    Wildlife commission steps up to the wolf plate

    I will have a celebratory beverage when Tuchton's term is done which I think is next month. Everytime he opens his mouth, I cringe not only because of what he says but the way speaks. He has got to be one of the most annoying people to listen to I've ever heard. Hard to believe he practiced law...

    CO CPW Draw Process Working Group

    The re-issue process for this year is printed in the regs book so how can they change that now? I hope they do though.

    Wow, I had no idea that many boards were appointed and need Senate approval.

    I'm not following you. What director position are you talking about?

    Call your Senators! CPW Commission Confirmation Vote - Delayed Again! Now Tues, 12 Mar!

    That process seems ripe for corruption. The governor could appoint anti-hunters who vote against science-based wildlife management for nearly a year before they get the boot. Why not have the governor make recommendations and then have the senate vote on them before they actually sit on the...

    Call your Senators! CPW Commission Confirmation Vote - Delayed Again! Now Tues, 12 Mar!

    So how does this appointment and approval work? Haven't Beaulieu and Skiba been on the commission since last summer? Does the governor appoint them and then a year later the senate votes to approve or reject them? If that is the case, haven't they been voting their biased agendas without senate...

    That is encouraging. Does it do any good to contact senators outside of our voting districts?

    Call your Senators! CPW Commission Confirmation Vote - Delayed Again! Now Tues, 12 Mar!

    I have always been an advocate of writing elected representatives about issues such as this one. My email went in this morning. But the "realist" in me asks, what are the odds we can stop this misuse of power by our governor considering 2/3 of our state senators are democrats? And before someone...

    CPW Commission Meeting Day 1

    Marie Haskett was the voice of reason at this meeting. I applaud her hanging in there when she is clearly outnumbered. It's tough to win a battle when the enemy has infiltrated your ranks. Commissioner Tutchton is either very naive or being very deceptive about why the ballot initiative to ban...
