I agree that our public lands have been and always will be at risk. But utilizing this opportunity to actually protect some of these lands should be considered carefully. It's nice knowing folks like BHA and others like them have their eyes on this and can bring in experts to vet the situation.

BHA's statement from July of 2023 Found the official statement here, some great points for sure.

Unfortunately, these public lands, specifically the BLM portions, are not protected from a change in status, or we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place. It is a question of indefinite protection, not just today's current status. This is why we have firm designations for NCAs...

I hear you on the range in question, but unfortunately, with the Eastern sprawl out of Reno happening like it is, it'll always have a target on its back. However, the trade-off of ~15,000 acres to protect ~900,000 of arguably very similar habitat and winter range utilization is something to...

I don't see much about an auction... looks pretty positive to me.

No kidding! The camp cooler full of Coors would quickly be in trouble if that became the case...

Great catch, why did they make E and W neighbors on the keyboard…

After burning 17 points on a bull tag last year without connecting and watching the rest of his party fill theirs, my dad looks to go round two in CO. He is hoping for a shot at redemption by turning in his 18 points on antelope this year with his brother, but are going into the draw with...

Update from October. Two of the three hunters filled their tags, but unfortunately, my dad had to eat his 17 points. Saw moose every day in pretty much every area we hunted and a few sheep on the western side of the unit. The majority of the elk stayed high with brief moments of activity in...

Absolute game changer. No marketing needed, just catch the scent in the wind like Mother Nature intended. Might run into problems with hunters stumbling into random camps looking for double bacon and yellow bellies

Looking for any insights on Unit 76. More specifically, wondering what to expect in terms of elk movement with the lack of weather. With the unit being higher than the majority of the state, I am curious as to what tendencies herds will have with little to no snow up high. Our group has three...

Awesome, I appreciate your guy's help. Our group had four cows and a buck last year in CO and the ol' tree hang did just the trick for 8 days. Although it was early November at 9,000ft so those happened to be helpful factors. We will most likely go with using coolers and/or hanging in a stand of...
