Today March 31 I just received in the mail DOW recommendations
to the Wildlife comm. It will be finalized in Grand Junction
early May. I could not be more disappointed that what I read.
Deer,sheep,goat,antelope and moose I have no problem with the
management. The only changes
over the current policy is limited units MAY be increased
UP TO 30% from the current 17%.The key words are may and up.
It is possible no new units will be added to limited with
that wording. Also no reduction % in those units is specified.
A newly created draw unit may have a 1% reduction in tags and
fit the definition of a limited unit. MONEY rules again in
this new policy. I see almost no revenue loss to DOW under
this plan. Wildlife management is money management.No changes
in pref point system. 47 years now to draw the 3 Rangely units
in 2 years 10 for unit61 and my hunting unit 76 will hit 8 in
2 years for res. For non res you can add to those numbers.
60-40 split for res and non res stays.I am so mad that almost
nothing changed. Our bull elk management is a disgrace and
I am ashamed to live in Colorado(44 years as a res).I leave you with a broken heart in Montrose and salute the last bull standing in Colo which is getting very close. Forget wildlife
MONEYRULES.
