I called my Republican Senator Cory Gardner's Washington Office and indicated if Pendley is good enough to be inserted short term to head a govt. agency he should immediately have a Senate confirmation hearing and vote. Politics #101 again and yet another anti public lands ploy.

I have only hunted twice muzzle, and both times shot elk with power belts, 348 grain, and both elk went down immediately, lung shots. In my mind, bullet placement be it rifle or muzzle trumps bullet choice. In muzzle I have used 95 grains Triple 7 powder. Also using this load this fall muzzle...

I see all counties in Colorado having the propensity of producing mature bucks. Given that one needs hunt every year here, hunt the terrain you seem to prefer, hunt all day in the field, hunt away from vehicular and OHV traffic, walk in further than other hunters, and look for places other...

FYI- Steve's Meats in Arvada is a quality game processor yet they for the past several year or so have adopted a newer policy of not taking in any boned out big game beyond September. I even talked to them and indicated this policy was not hunter friendly at all since the majority of hunters...

Historically some of the west slope private lands restricted LP vouchers have gone unredeemed.

I believe (but will never buy one) of the 20% of vouchers in the quota of west of I-25 GMUs that qualify for LP, half of them are only good for private lands, and the other half good the entire GMU. Keep in mind though there are also PLO tags, which are in my mind a cousin to LP vouchers but...

One discussion day two was to have the 2nd rifle season with 2 weekends, and the other 1st,3rd, and 4th rifle seasons 5 days incorporating only one weekend. One important side note on the Alternative papers indicated the 4th season as being 'optional'. Sept Commission meeting will then finalize...

Correction. Testified to now with later Nov hunting CP&W should move more buck tags to 2nd and fewer in 3rd.

I testified in the Telluride CP&W Commission meeting that with the 3rd and 4th west slope deer seasons now being pushed later into November CP&W would need move more of these western slope buck tags into the 2nd season and lower the 4th season buck tags so as to not have undue pressure on the...

(1) Drinking beer or for that matter any booze while hunting is a major no-no. Nobody who hunts with me drinks during the day when we hunt. (2) If you were stopped by a warden and didn't have a Habitat Stamp, what would be the odds you would get off with a warning. Try 0%. (3) Cheney would...

One can get permission for free in eastern Colorado, yet one needs come out about 3 months ahead of season, door knock, and present a good image. It is getting tougher, yet alot of farmers fortunately are not addicted to money like others, mostly newer ranchers whom combine with guides and...

Just the USFS acreage proposed to be sold off in Colorado amounts to 30 square miles. That mass of land is larger than the general area I have over the past 5 decades hunted near Gunnison. The sold acreage could be your 'honey hole' hunters, make no mistake about it. Now take the total U.S...

Try these numbers for acreages of just the USFS lands Bush intends to sell: Region 1 Idaho 11,070 Montana 13,948 Total 25,018 Region 2 Colorado 21,572 Wyoming 16,770 S. Dakota 13,961 Nebraska 360 Total 52,672 Region 3 Arizona...

Here is one you might not hear from another hunter yet some Colorado plains units like 107 used to be drawn for 0 pts. You would need come out to Colorado to scout the unit out, yet you could get permission by presenting a respectable image and doing a little homework. Look on the DOW website...

If anyone thinks 20-50,000 acres per per year per just per USFS region being sold sold off is not a big deal, then equate it to erosion, over a number of years, and what do our grandkids have as far as public lands to hunt and fish. This on the heels of sportsmen all across America rising up to...
