I think you have surpassed being a "self regulator " if you pass 20 to 30 bucks during a general season hunt. You could possibly be in an even higher class of hunters. I think they call the "master regulators", but I could be wrong.

I consider myself a self regulator on mule deer, but I could care less if a someone shoots something that makes them happy. Heck I'll even help them pack it out. Now.... if you throw elk into the conversation, I am definitely not capable of self regulation. As mentioned in a previous thread...

Heck no, that would be a terrible plan to fix a deer herd. I thought we already established our herds were too far gone to save and we were just going to shoot them all till they're gone? That's my plan to fix the overcrowding issue. Stay focused elkassassin.

Pretty sure the pumpkin army complaining is a thing of the past now. With the new hunter orange rule we won't see each other as good so they'll be nothing to complain about this season I'm thinking. Visually, we'll pretty much have the whole place to ourselves in 2024! That's right folks no...

Why is everything I say "BS", but everything you say is gospel? You're pointed comments are hurtful. I remember on one thread (I believe it was your own thread you derailed ) I was accused of being AI? If it can happen on monster mulies, you know it can take over the DWR. Just a matter of...

So I'm a bit late to the party here, just finishing up the video. I have a question for elkassassin from an "OPER FN TUNIST" . Elk on the sanjaun if I'm understanding correctly are above management goals and age data comes in at 7.6 years. When asked by some folks why no tag increases the...

Still wrong! We absolutely need more committees. You think it's bad now, can you imagine what it would be like if we didn't have committees?

I'm not sure if this is a generic question or if you are specifically talking about the goats, but I believe the Willard peak herd disaster could have been avoided if they would have pumped the brakes a bit when we were headed towards a cliff. For the most part, nobody could have predicted...

I'll take this one Vanilla..... elkassassin your wrong yet again!

I believe they know exactly what happened to the Willard Peak goat herd. They made some huge management mistakes and then the perfect storm of events hit all at once. It all but destroyed the herd. I've been leaning on the rocky mountain goat alliance to get involved. I talked with them last...

I'm not really a long timer, but I do remember him mentioning several times he wanted to increase opportunity to hunt big coyotes, state wide, with no license or tag requirement. So there's that......

Am I the only one who's expanded this picture, looked beyond the forest of horns here to get a better look at that spike? Uttaxi1, that thing is awesome. I don't recall seeing many spikes mounted up. Love it! I couldn't help but wonder what the story with that one. I'm betting it's a good one.

I've openly admitted on this platform many times that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I miss things and I'm wrong about things at times. You mentioned in my last paragraph, I was wrong. Can you please expand on what part I'm wrong about? I welcome any opportunity to educate myself.

Actually, I am pretty new around here Elkassassin so I apologize for whatever I've missed. I don't mean any disrespect, but it doesn't matter what you have said on monster mulies, my question was if you had participated in the process back in the 90's? If you did, what you are seeing is...

I also have a question for Vanilla and Berryblaster on their thoughts. I believe we reduced the age class objectives with the new elk plan. This was in the name of opportunity which i support. If we get into a situation where the age class falls below the objective, should we not take action...
