No, archery OTC either sex licenses are still valid in those units, it is just illegal to shoot a cow or calf now.

Guys, I need some help! There is some critical things happening this month at the wildlife commission meeting take a look at the agenda at the link. I'd recommend you send your comments to the Parks and Wildlife commission for their consideration. 1. Somehow the topic of resident/nonresident...

As a member of the CPW sportsmen?s roundtable in the NE region, I am asking for your help. Boulder county has a massive open space budget generated from sales tax revenues, and over the years they have acquired a large amount of property. To date, they have not allowed open to the public hunting...

BIG NEWS: The wildlife commission recently voted to shelve the Habitat Stamp RFP process for 2017. This program ANNUALLY took about 6.6 million dollars and coupled it with GOCO funds to preserve and protect wildlife habitat, as well as create public access through the use of easements. This loss...

I am a wealthy guy, but don't think anything at all like tristate. Simple fee increases solve F&G financial solvency issues. I was at church this morning listening to the pastor talk about getting though grief, community, and supporting your fellow man. Good grief, you must be a lonely guy in...

Hi, I serve as an elected delgate for sportsmen on the CPW sportsmans roundtable. Back in the spring the CPW agreed to form a public access "working group" to examine all public access issues in Colorado - Public lands, Private lands, easements, leases, fishing access, small game access, big...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-23-16 AT 11:29AM (MST)[p]The vouchers themselves clearly state you can't be denied access. It also list at least the section range and township of the land, and maybe more specific. A section is 640 acres, you need 160 to get in the program. You can find the land the voucher...

My Chevy truck has ONSTAR. A 5 watt cell phone. Handheld cell phones are 1/2 a watt. It doesn't work everywhere, but it works wellin many places my cell won't. No need for a booster if you buy a General Motors truck.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-21-14 AT 08:30AM (MST)[p]Solutions and ideas in Utah are for the people of Utah to figure out. I don't live there, and I don't vote there. I'll wear my big boy pants everyday, in my home state where I have a vote. What I do find ironic is that Utah, a state with what might be...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-21-14 AT 06:57AM (MST)[p]Ya taking a look in the mirror at greed and selfishness from Tricell and others get old fast. Game departments should manage game to the extent the people of their state want it - regardless of their funding model, lack of funds or surplus of funds...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-20-14 AT 09:30PM (MST)[p]Did ya ever notice guys who want to privatize wildlife hide behind, "its about the wildlife"? The real problem with privatizing wildlife is not what it does to wildlife - its what it does to HUNTERS. The issue is about hunting, not wildlife. Its not...

Nothing selfish about what I am doing - been patiently waiting in line, getting my points and following the draw process. I know this is hard for you since your used to the Texas model but the role of government, given the wildlife is and should remain a publicly owned resource, is to provide...

Wow, if I had to guess I would think Tritops and a bunch of other who love the expo must be from Texas. I rarely visit this site, it always shocks me how many don't really get what the problem is with privatization and commercialization of wildlife - which is what the expo is all about. Saw...

A wad of cash never seems to possess humility. Guys wait 20 years or more to draw this tag, you come on the web and brag about how you are "deserving" of the hunt soley because of your net worth, and then you accuse of others of envy. Get a life with sense of humility, and buy your...

lets see, your expected to know regulations, and private land boundaries, you also should be expected to cary a knife. How do you load an animal in a truck whole without driving off the road illegally? If nothing else, they should have issued a ticket for not carrying a knife. Game Wardens...

The regulations book marks the unit as difficult access, and not many units in regulations are marked that way. The G&F are telling the truth. Not sure why "Hunting Fool" touts the unit, when the truth is the tags have increased significantly over the years and produced hunter crowding on very...

In a unit with a high population of bulls, I don't think calling is that effective. There is bugling in every direction, why do the bulls care about your call, no matter how good you are. They can have a fight in any direction they want to go.

I can judge banking off one year! It will hurt the majority of hunters as they will not draw licenses they in the past have drawn annually, thereby further discouraging participation. While I personally could benefit, since I have 11 points, I believe it really should remain a system that...

In my opinion, the best time to bowhunt elk is when there is no moon. That changes every year. Look at the phase calendar, and you'll have your answer.

Most of the private in Unit 40 was for many years enrolled in Ranching for wildlife. I know mountain island wanted $8700 for a 5 day bull hunt last year. I doubt $3500 would get you on a 40 acre parcel. Last year, the ranches were not in RFW. According to the landowners, thier cow tag quota was...

Is that deerking?

Jealousy? Who is their to be jealous of with the ~2200 UNUSED hunting licenses? Should we be jealous of landowner that paid the application fee and got nothing in return? Should we be jealous of the hunter who never bought the license? Or should we be jealous of the hunter who was denied the...

That was really long winded..."contributions to wildlife". Feel free to expand on that Larry, be verbose, please. No one other then CWF stepped up to the plate and gave me data to publish about how great landowner preference is for wildlife. If you have data to share please do it. In my...

Duh, Maybe you should read it because you are supposed to be representing sportsman in SAG? If sportsmen take the time to fill it out, and tell you how they feel - you should read it. If you don't, you should drop out of SAG.

I feel a need to respond. No doubt you feel it is a good program Larry.... $3.25 to buy a voucher from the CDOW, resale price $3500 to what? 15,000 maybe? What is that gross margin? With the access loophole supposedly closing, in my opinion most of the vouchers will go to outfitters, and the...

The 2200 as reported by CWF, were in sold out units, so sorry Larry, but public hunters were denied the tags. I'm not really here for a debate, just looking for public opinion. So far, I have had some great input, and I trust you will read all the survey results in the next meeting Larry so...

If you would have read the executive summary page, ~2200 tags went unused, by any hunters. Thats a scientific fact, and any "argument" to it would be false. I'll be glad to share the results once polling concludes. Thanks

I volunteered to be a sportsmen representative on the SAG voucher working group. SAG is the Sportsmens Advisory group to the Colorado Division of Wildlife. I need your help. The landowner preference voucher program in Colorado can be quite a controversial topic for those familiar with how the...

If you are referring to Colorado's ranching for wildlife program, the public draw tags are for residents only. If you want to buy a private hunting license from the landowner - greenbacks are the only qualification measure - not residency. For most ranchers who enroll, 90% of the buck and bull...

I drew for the second year in a row! Had zero points going in, since I drew last year. Shot a 313 gross archery bull last year, and my hopes are high this year. Since I did the scouting last year, I already know where I will be opening morning of bow season. This is really cool after getting...

The big snowies?

You guys missed the bigger news from the meeting, BGAP was approved! We have 3 varieties of "landowner preference", we now have "sportsmens preference".

Geez, clients of outfitters can't get licenses like every other average hunter? PLO tags won't work for outfitters clients? Everyone should be on a level playing field in terms of tag acquistion....guess we all know how you get your tags. Finally, the change was suggested by the Cattlemens...
