    Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu

    Uhhhh ….. not really. A quick look at Colorado politics and even a visit to a wildlife commission meeting would dispel that. When I listen to the crazy Denver/Boulder crowd I often ask myself, where did they come from? Texas never comes to mind…..

    What a clown

    Looks like a current candidate for a Maine Senate seat…… oh wait missing his Nazi tattoo.

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    Keep sending it! I also reached out to their campaigns and got no response. The more chaos and disfunction with the commission over the next 6 months, the better. More bad press surrounding the commission will get gubernatorial candidates attention. Signal that people are upset and a change is...

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    Apparently our esteemed “sportsmen’s” representative, Peter Maguire, is under a gag order from CPW. Told to not provide comment to Colorado Sun. But he did submit a feel good cow elk hunt story. He must only hunt cow elk because according to his CatsArentTrophies/Prop 127 petition, he abhors...

    Colorado fiasco.....coming to YOU August 1

    Most likely in a shock to no one, they added a ton of firearms to the list of permit-required firearms, far exceeding the initial list voted on in the legislature. In a single party state, honesty isn’t expected from elected officials.

    What a clown

    Dang. The anti groups in Colorado will have a field day with this one. Especially since they control a majority voting block on the CPW Commission.

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Vote In Your Primary Election

    Here in Colorado it’s literally like a contest for who sued Trump the most. And because we have single party rule the Dem primary is the actual election.

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    Oh yeah. Her work from the CSU Policy Center is very intentional. I dialed into this meeting referenced below in 2025. Basically a campaign strategy meeting on how to get mountain lion and black bear hunting banned. Niemiec led this along with Wayne Pacelle, Marlon, Delia Malone, etc. She has...

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    In other news, our new “sportsmen’s” representative Dr. Peter Maguire actively campaigned for CatsArentTrophies and Proposition 127 in an attempt to ban mountain lion hunting. His signature is on the attached memo. With the addition of Niemiec and Maguire, there is now a majority voting block of...

    I suspect they would all be deemed evil genocidal settler colonizers.

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    This is bad….. incredibly bad. At least Otero and Niemiec. Don’t know anything about maguire or Le Coq. Governor Polis getting one more stomp in on the Colorado sportsmen and women. Otero is a complete embarrassment as a sportsmen’s rep. Didn’t bother to show up to the May commission meetings...

    OR ballot to end hunting, fishing, ranching, dairy farming. . .

    Agree with a lot of what both of you have stated. Maybe the answer is raising the bar a bit on what gets put on the ballot. States like Oregon and Colorado set the bar so low for ballot initiatives that they really invite lots of fringe ideas. Some do get rejected, which is good, but many gain...

    OR ballot to end hunting, fishing, ranching, dairy farming. . .

    Ballot initiatives like IP 28 in OR and 302-Right to Hunt/Fish in CO are too important to devolve into partisan bickering. You win through addition, not subtraction.

    While I am glad to hear she opposes it, I suspect that is more due to her read on the likelihood of IP 28 passing than any principled respect for hunters and anglers. A good example of “both sides-ing” this issue.

    OR ballot to end hunting, fishing, ranching, dairy farming. . .

    This is why constitutional right to hunt and fish initiatives are so important, particularly ballot initiative 303 in Colorado. We could easily see something like a watered down version of IP28 here in Colorado based on the growth of anti-hunting organizations here. For all the “No one is...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    I see this dynamic a bit differently. I was completely unaware of the national outfitter conspiracy to steal away tags. I also don’t think NR hunters should be cheerleading the moves by resident hunter groups to draw down NR tags to the lowest amount possible. And I don’t think NR support...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    “The only thing worse than a non-resident hunter, is a guided non-resident hunter”- Western state resident hunter It’s basically a race to the bottom for the western states, who can get to the lowest NR tag allocation first. The only limiting factors are sustaining wildlife agency funding and...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    That’s weird, I’m just a product of southern public school education but 102k is more than 78k. So if we limit our sample size to three years then we have effectively proven applications aren’t increasing? And my more broader point was that the folks in the Guided draw aren’t just going to bow...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    Yes, the total number of tags available to DIY NR hunters will increase. But if even more people apply the draw odds won’t increase. I guess where we differ is you believe that NRs who previous applied in the Guided draw will not continue to apply in the combined NR pool. They will just forgo NM...

    New Mexico Outfitter Draw Set-Aside is Toast -Finally !

    Absolutely. If NM residents want to get rid of the outfitter draw that is 100% their prerogative. But spinning it as somehow benefiting NR DIY hunters just doesn’t seem to bear out when you run the numbers with most NRs from the guided draw jumping over into the combined NR pool. And I also...
