Each year it exciting to see what is new in the hunting regs. This year there are some new seasons and other changes like moving the season dates for our rifle deer hunts. An exciting change if you would like to come to Colorado and hunt close to the rut and have deer concentrated in smaller areas. But it really makes me question the DOW's logic behind some of this. I sit in there meetings and they talk about how the deer herd is declining and they need to issue less tags but then they change the dates to make it easier for most hunters to be successful. And in my opinion it will have a devastating effect on our deer herds across the state. They already issue more tags than they have deer for and setting up a scenario where with weather comes and deer come down like they should the success rate of the hunt could go from 20% success to 45% or something like that. Just a thought!
