Sorry I said anything.

I've done pretty well in point systems.....

Prairie dog population is next.

I thought my children didn't know when to stop.....they actually are more mature than I thought.

I have 28 individual apps here. Obviously I apply us all for sheep, moose, and goats, without planning on drawing. Points for everything else, except for my 14 year old. He's drawing a 2nd season tag for deer, hopefully. If any of us were to draw one of the three lucky tickets, we would put that...

68 isn't Gunny in my opinion. That being said, I've always wished I could try a later season tag there. I don't worry about how bad it is now compared to how how awesome it was.

I'm not super smart, andmy experience is based on what I see, but I don't believe the reason we are seeing less deer is CWD...I was elk hunting this year, and in 1st rifle there was a small group of very visible deer. A couple does, a tiny buck, and several fawns. Opening day of 2nd rifle I was...

That is a seriously big investment for a nonresident. 2700 plus 100 dollars a point for a cow. And I get it, I've tried to talk one of my friends into burning point for a cow. He's not listening though. A Canada moose isn't that much more on the surface. Travel is more, guide and cook tips...but...

Paid vacation? As a contractor l, I have never had paid vacation. But I do work Saturdays and at least some Sundays all year to be able to take off in the last three months. I can safely say I spend way too much time out. Didn't keep track this year, but one fall I spent 42 nights in a bag. Plus...

I see more moose than deer and elk in some of the northern areas.....

215 is a mature buck to me. I hunted whitetails for 30 years in what is considered prime whitetail country, and shot two bucks I consider mature. Both tooth aged at 7.5. Both 150 class. Shot several more in the 160 range that were much younger though. I can count on both hand the mature bucks I...

I don't see how a 4 point rule wouldn't help. Maybe not long term, but who cares about that. Next year is what the focus needs to be on.

If it went good enough, I'll consider it, too.

I like to watch videos. It's not uncommon to see one shot, and see multiple holes in an animal. Also, one of the more prominent hunting influencers shot at an animal this year and claimed a miss. I've watched it numerous times, and it sure looks like a hit to me.

My boys caught a mink using a plastic worm at Smith lake. We did not remove the hook with a pliers. Once when I was very young, I was practice casting. A cat ran out from under our house and inhaled my jighead.

Pretty boy. I don't guess, though.

Why would you think everyone else is attracted to relation?

Totally. That's a boss move, man. But the curious little boy in me wonders why colorado residents are such jerks? Hunters are almost always jerks, but people getting gas have no reason to be unfriendly.

That's rough, man.

I've never struggled with this...

I've hunted for months every fall, for years. I've had two negative interactions across the entire country. Both in Colorado. One group from California. One from Texas. When I hunt,I hardly ever interact with other hunters in the field. My favorite hunting partners are my boys, my cousin from...

I spent the weekend out looking at my precious animals in my favorite area. South slopes are clear, and even some green showing up on the sage. Deer and elk in abundance, looking very healthy. It seemed everywhere I went there was more animals. Very widely dispersed. I was not unimpressed. Saw...

I'm ok with that.

There's going to be people who have negative on every one of those, most likely. It's tough to say what the best use of those points is, but I can guarantee every one of those would be fun. I love the easy to draw hunts, I dream about the next level.

I'm not sure we can blame winter kill. Has to be other issues.

You would turn down a 3rd season tag?

Don't die with those points.

But you said....?

Tyson is old.....

Resident point creep hasn't been an issue. And if you think your opinion means more or less than mine, I think both are pretty quiet by themselves. There is a loud few people that complain about everything as a standard way of doing things, but I'm not sure even they get listened to.

All systems have good and bad points. Personally I prefer a true point system. Put in your time, do your homework, predict and prepare. Wyoming nonresident system is cool. The resident system has worked well with the general guarantee as backup to the random limited. That system is...

If my girls ever hunt, I would consider it my boys duty to help.

Some of those southern units aren't half bad...

Me too. But I thought the most important thing would be to not throw a guess out there about score.

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I'm sensitive, sometimes I feel a bit rowdy.

Here's a video one of my kid cousins did of my boys antelope hunt. It is fun for me to watch and get a different perspective of how we react and interact.

I had one of my little cousins come up from Arkansas and video my boys antelope hunt. Should I post it and open my life to some potential criticism?

You want a real shitshow, somebody should have followed me and my boys around this year. Practice for the last five years, then sail an arrow over a broadside bucks back at 30, before miraculously killing one at 15 yards with a liver shot. Rifle elk we had a bull show up at bow range in the...

OTC needs to go. Fact. There are too many hunters, and the resource is stressed. Fact. Less opportunity needs to start with nonresident opportunity. In my opinion, yes. Why shouldn't it? Anytime a wildlife department reduces tags, I'm glad. Those animals are overhunted. If there's less...
