Exactly the kind of well thought out reply I’ve come to expect from somone that cannot defend their position.

Nobody ever said that the funds from auction tags could single-handedly and completely reverse the effects of poor management decisions and years long droughts. You guys and your red herring arguments……. As for proving where the funds WILL go, give it a few years. Doubt it will take that...

Nope. Just don’t let myself be jealous of other folks success. These auction tags have had nothing but a positive effect on opportunities for the average hunter. But you bozos are too ticked at the fact that someone else can afford the opportunity or the way that they conduct their hunt to...

Did the commission guaranty that the money from the raffle would be fully allocated towards those projects? Guessing not. That was the reason that the auction tags were good for the actual conservation of the species being hunted. The money went towards actual projects. Now the raffle money...

all red for me

Nada for me.

Incorrect info here. Costs just over $30,000 per mile right now in soft ground to erect a high fence. If it is rocky/hard ground it is more. I do business with two different companies who install high fences and that is the estimated current rate for a fence based on current supply inventory...

Thank you. I think it is safe to say that I enjoyed that conversation slightly more than you did! I’m truly still in shock. Any and all advice is welcome!

Well, I NEVER answer my phone when I don’t know who it is. But when I saw a Colorado number pop up at 10:00 pm on the Saturday night of the raffle.........I figured it was worth the risk of having to hear about a car warranty. Glad I answered!!! For some reason when you told me who you were...

I won the big one! Bighorn sheep here I come!

Well I was watching a movie with my wife last night at the house and my phone rang from a random Colorado number. I had a gut feeling so I answered and yep, I won the RMBS bighorn raffle. I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night. I’m still in disbelief and trying to figure out where to even...

Border closure extended through September 21

$3k of over $13k refunded so far. Ready for that other $10k+ to be refunded

All red for me and my son.

Nothing for me or my son. All red

Actual results are up

My app numbers are still the same but my son’s are out of order.

Interested in picking up a muzzleloader tag for one of the western units (10,12, 13, 15, the 16?s) or for 34 or 36.

My A&H really liked the Thor bullets. It shoots lights out with them.

Prayers for his family as they work through this. Asking for donations to an organization that is doing good work in lieu of flowers is normal and appropriate. Don't be a douche because you are a hater. I hate that anyone has to face the demons that he was apparently facing. But if reports...

Like I said......someone else bought your tags. People who buy these tags rarely do so because it is a "value". Three reasons they buy the tag: They do it for conservation. They do it because they love to hunt. They do it because they can. Just because you may be able to achieve the...

You have purchased a tag every year for 63 years? Congrats. I gotta say that I don't know too many 81 year old folks who are forum warriors.....much less 81 and still get out and get it done in the woods. Pretty impressive. Or it's not impressive because you are full of it. Whichever. You...

To some people $110,000 is the same as $10 or $100 or $1,000 to others. I know some guys that aren't too different from everyone on this forum with the exception that they are worth 9 (and in one case 10) figures. They like to hunt. Spending $110,000 on a tag doesn't move the needle even a...

Well done Doug!

Great bull. I had the second archery tag last year. It was a fun hunt. I passed up a mid 330's bull on the first night and I shouldn't have. The hunting was tough as the bigger bulls had already begun gathering cows but weren't rutting hard yet. It is an amazing place with a ton of elk...

I like the variety and different ways that different states handle their draw. I like the random draw aspect of New Mexico but I wouldn't mind if they went to a point system of some sort. And if/when they do I hope and pray that they continue to require folks to front the tag fees. I think...

By your logic they are reducing numbers specifically due to these auction tags. If you can't see that large sums of money going specifically towards one species is good for everyone that wants to hunt that species then it is either because you are mentally incapable of seeing it or because...

There are many reasons why populations ebb and flow and they have been pointed out to you. The reality is that money for conservation for a specific species is a good thing. You want to talk about facts and hard numbers? Explain to me how $335,000 going towards sheep conservation is a bad...
