Not much discussion of wolves for this reason: CPW and its employees are legally prohibited from discussing any ballot measure, as are all agencies of state gov't. CPW made clear its opposition to forced wolf reintro before it was petitioned onto the ballot. The Commission opposed the notion in...

As an appointed rep to the Roundtable I am determined to share news from the group with online constituents. FYI, the Roundtable is a gathering of interested anglers, hunters, trappers that advise CPW. The group meets formally 2x/year, and informally as warranted. As an advisory group, most...

19 pronghorn points, 2 deer, 1 elk, 6 bear currently. I drew the buck tag on Hill Ranch RFW 3 years ago, 23 pps I think. In 2000 I drew a 61 bull tag for 1st rifle, w 7 pps, stopped saving elk points after that. Age 61.

I suggested 1 leftover/reissue list posted @ start of each week, w random drawing 1 day later. Leftovers from each weekly drawing sold online. Also said if A list license is available the week before season starts, it becomes a B so someone who already has an A license can get another in the...

I heard one of the main voices formally opposing wolf intro speak last weekend. He emphasized individuals influencing friends, relatives directly. Tell those you know why this is a terrible idea. Stop the Wolf Coalition has a list of brief, targeted talking points about realities of forced wolf...

Last year I got a reissued tag for 3rd rifle, had to camp @ CPS door to get it on leftover day. I saw bunches of people driving the roads around Columbine campground on Divide Road, many camps down by Sanborn, a few along Massey Bench and Divide road generally. There was mild snow on top, none...

Some of the current research being conducted by CPW: Note that CPW does not report data from ongoing research, because that would alter the findings and render the study inconclusive/invalid. Study of calk survival/recruitment comparing areas in SW CO to Bear's Ears (NW). This was a pilot...

Good post. It would be cool if you got to return it. If it was mine, a reward would be gratefully offered.

AAA mazing, thanks for posting. Congratulations.

Good buck and fine picture, Thanks for posting, Congratulations.

Congratulations on a great buck for any year, especially this year. His is a rare rack nowadays.

Congratulations. A lot of road hunters in the area were wondering where they could all be hiding. Like the song from Music Man says, "You've gotta know the territory." Which HasBean clearly does. I was hunting uphill from my truck, and did not get one.

Fantastic hunt. 40 has some great public land opportunities for a hunter who can grow wings.

Remember last year? One early cold snap w snow, then back to beach weather. How many years in the last 10 has there been significant snow in your unit in Oct, or even Nov? My take is that lasting snow and cold arrive @ least a month later than in the last century. Couple years ago I hunted 13 in...

If you are a resident, probably worth the cost of having a bull tag. NR, that is a harder $$$ call IMO.

Dayum, BeanMan. Your buddy is lucky to have you as caddy. Look @ those 2nds! Thanks for posting a genuine shooter OTC. Congratulations. I bet this pic and story will inspire a lot of OTC guys.

Have any been added since yesterday? Yes, just saw a 551 3rd cow tag go up.

Welcome to the forum, thanks for posting.

Interesting but not surprising that predators prefer infected deer. Trying to understand the dynamics of infected does giving birth (are their fawns infected, resistant, neither)? What is the long term impact of the very small percentage of resistant genotype, will that genotype repopulate fast...

The lighter the rifle the greater the recoil, given equal loads. Of course its not like there is going to be a quick follow up shot.

Good reason to apply a day or 2 before the deadline, and look HARD @ the receipt to see what the computer thinks you applied for, before the deadline...next year.

I have enjoyed watching some stellar bulls while carrying cow tags in 61. And bears! Really love that unit. Congratulations, plenty of last year's burns to hunt this fall.

The hardest part may be deciding which one. You have a special trip coming up!

Balcony House tour in MV has tight crawl spaces, tall wooden ladders, mildly adventurous. Wonderful archaeology.

Congratulations and good luck to the new Boss in an extremely difficult position. In reading the language from the Board and others in the linked article, it is not 100% supportive and encouraging, perhaps revealing dissenting factions in the CPW. Think I'm imagining that?
