Crazy thing about Isle Royale is that the moose population was way down (like the rest of MN/WI until the wolves inbred themselves out of existence. After the wolves were gone the moose population exploded yet the study performed by our politically corrupt DNR in MN said the moose decline in...

I can't find the meetings on YouTube, can you share a link?

Any changes from the draft regulations they released at the commission meeting yesterday and today?

That's good feedback and I appreciate it. I looked through them briefly and their view was as good as their price was high so I put them down almost immediately:ROFLMAO:.

I currently own 10x42 SLC's (HD) and I'm wondering if the jump to the 10x50 EL's is worth it at their current "sale" price"? Better edge clarity and light gathering is what I assume I'd gain but I know there's folks on here that have forgotten more than I'll ever know about optics so just...

Very cool to hear the history of that area and supports what I believe to be happening in many areas. I know this is far from the only thing/biggest thing working against mule deer but just something that I believe gets too little attention when these discussions arise.

You could be right but I wouldn't mind seeing some studies conducted to prove that theory but once again, we'd have hunters pitted against hunters depending on if you prefer to chase elk or mule deer. I've just been amazed at how many 6 point elk I've seen/taken in comparison to 4 point mule...

I agree with gritted teeth, I love mule deer and I've watched their numbers decline the whole time I've hunted out west while watching elk numbers in most of those same areas increase. Don't get wrong, I love elk hunting but just not as much as mule deer hunting and I think we've traded our...

A bit off topic but what have the elk herds done in G and H in the same time frame that the deer herds have declined? Genuinely curious.

This is great advice, they cut nonresident tags by 10% and then if you throw in standard point creep and the threat of a completely revamped draw in '25...............................

My group of 4 are in for the special draw with 12 points.

I saw a lot of deer on my 2nd season hunt but the top end just simply wasn't present in any numbers. Fun hunt in beautiful country but it was pretty clear to me that these late season dates really had an affect on the older age class, just as they planned.

2nd season is the first mule deer/combined season. 1st season is an elk only season so very confusing for folks new to CO's season structure.

PM sent.

2nd Season CO. Decent mule deer hunts are fewer and farther between each year so I'm just incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity!
