NM applications
Income took a big hit this year. Only income will be a large Social Security check + 4% IRA withdrawals so will not apply for as many species this year. Probably just elk, deer & Oryx. Will be interesting what I'll have the funds for going forward. I guess that's the good part about all the...- Zim

Colorado Opportunity Elk
I’m waiting for the first state to take the next step of cutting preference quotas to below 50%. Very curious if that will happen some day. The other big question is the unique system Nevada runs with the squared points. You’d think at some point the 0-5 point holders would get a grasp on how...- Zim

Trapping Thread 2025/2026
There’s a very simple solution. Just automatically ban folks that make unprovoked personal attacks. Something I’ve never done once in 30 years on 10+ forums. IMHO this is the only policy that works.- Zim

Colorado Opportunity Elk
Right, I recognize that. And CO gives NR a bigger % than they likely should. I’m especially grateful they are giving folks three years notice. That’s huge. Deer is the only thing where I stand to lose value. I also got 29 throw-in pronghorn points but if I remember right there’s so few like 20...- Zim

Oh I didn’t consider that. You are right. Hafta take that into consideration. I expect I may reach for 4 point units these next two draws, and not worry about it if I don’t draw.- Zim

Colorado Opportunity Elk
Anyone else trying to burn their NR CO elk points before the 2028 system change? I know I need to dump a pile of deer points this year, but I am not sure if I stand to lose much with only 3 elk points. But I’ll apply for an opportunity type hunt and try to get rid of those this year or next on...- Zim

Glad I don’t do this rafting stuff. One welfare fiasco I don’t have to deal with. I got enough already.- Zim

Sunday Pic of the Day
Sunny, dry & 76 today snowbirding here in Chengdu. Got retired last year so our plan going forward is to spend Dec - March here annually. Return for walleye season. Stay in US until hunting season ends November. Quite mild winters in Sichuan. I could get used to this. Open air cafe in photo.- Zim

SECOND STEELHEAD TRIP OF THE YEAR
Amazing. Finally two posts relevant to a thread. Why the change? I live ten miles South of Lake Michigan, but yet rarely fished the big lake. They have a famous salmon run up the coast of Michigan in the town of Manistee that is supposed to be excellent I’d like to try some day. However, that...- Zim
