All up for me,. I did get a deer tag, so it's not a complete wash.

I wonder where he would have stood in the scheme of today's world? He lived in a totally different and wonderful day and age, when the world was much a much Wilder place.

I think every thing said on here pointing out the problem has some merit, it's complicated to say the least. The weather has a lot to do with deer populations also. Most all of these reasons for the decline in hunting quality have no fix. Stick a fork in it and turn it over...

It's very selfish and naive to think things are always going to say the same. My youngest brother drew a book cliffs elk tag last year. I don't go with but my other brother did, he said many of the places where we hunted just five years ago were unrecognizable . Pump...

All I do know is what I saw around midnight and it was amazing what lengths lots of people will go through to get antlers. Maybe you are right, there isn't a problem? But I'm guessing there is, albeit. Maybe not as bad as some suggest.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-19-17 AT 11:50AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-19-17 AT 11:49?AM (MST) A few people out gathering horn would be fine, and it used to be that way. But the are people obsessed with horn hunting, and lots of them. A few years ago my friend said he went out horn hunting on the...

Maybe 1911 is right, we as a country should just imitate the many third world country's where there are few if any laws regulating wildlife. Or just go back 100 years ago in this country, does it matter? Should we regulate all this new technology? Yes we have more and more laws all...

I don't think we need an expensive study, Just use good old fashonrd common sense. Yep stressing and moving and bothering animals in early spring causes increased mortality. There you have it, and it didn't cost 20 million dollars either

Tristate , Many people hear Grizzly. Few listen to you. We like our hunting and hiking trails, in fact they are yours too. So feel welcome to enjoy the freedom, it's great.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-18-17 AT 00:37AM (MST)[p]Lumpy is right , although not in the way he wants to be. it's about a lot more than hunting. It's about having the freedom of public lands, Hunting is one use but not all. Herbert is a money loving politician, he has no desire...

Maybe the more money you have the more votes you should have? One vote for every 100k That would immediately get rid of all trailer trash votes, and the tiered system would ensure that trickle down economics would be strengthened and enhanced.

The reason all citizens should and can vote is because it is the rules and laws of society that does suppress people, literally tens of thousands of laws on the books. But it is the private ownership of the land and resources that is the most suppressing. As in all countries...

I am a hiker and a Hunter, I also look at issues individually. wilderness protection is important to me as I have seen so many places basically ruined for the experience I enjoy because or motorized access. The ultimate lockout is a big no trespassing sign by a private landowner...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-11-17 AT 12:11PM (MST)[p]What is logical about archaic marijuana laws? In keeping it illegal?, making it a crime so innocents get caught in the crossfire? Filling prisons up? Destroying public land with pot farms? And doing the same wasteful thing we have done for...

I would like to see Trump refuse disaster aid to California, let the people see the right-wing for who there are , let the true colors come out

You are a moron Eel, one thing we dont need are federal marijuana laws. I'm guessing you have money or interests in keeping it illegal? Big money in keeping it illegal I know, but it also damages public land , and creates crime and hardship on lots of innocent people...

So yes if the federal government does stuff that is unpopular and wrong in most people's opinion. They should be called out on it. But the narrow minded lies and distortions that the past sagebrush rebellion relied on for support should be brought to light also, and I think that Is the case...

Yes and no Lumpy, I grew up in Elko Nevada, and it can be associated with being the birthplace of the sagebrush rebellion as much as anywhere. So I personally have know many of the people who started that, mostly money hungry ranchers who despised the cutbacks on federal grazing...

And to top.it all off Tristate makes some statement comparing Kansas to Utah. And how companies will move their faculties to Kansas instead of Utah???? Really Tristate? Why don't you Google. Kansas and its population growth and economy? Then compare it with Utah? Please do that

LAST EDITED ON Feb-07-17 AT 11:26PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-07-17 AT 11:13?PM (MST) Actually. Tristate is dead wrong, there is plenty of land in Public land states available for population growth. Despite the high percentage of public land and growing population, the vast majority...

Why do things need to change? Because some highly paid wordsmith came up with" federal overreach".? There are simply too many people wanting too much, your vision is not the same as mine? So it's Federal Overreach if some rancher cannot put all the cattle they want on the...

Yes people do go to your state, I have fished and hiked in California quite a few times over the years. In fact if many conservatives obtain their dreams of privatization. Many more people will be heading for California to enjoy the freedom of public land.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-17 AT 04:13AM (MST)[p]No Eel, I must be a liberal because I don't want anybody else to have public land either, except the public, all of us. I want every generation to have that freedom. Not every square foot of land needs to be used for private profit...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-17 AT 04:00AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-17 AT 03:58?AM (MST) OK, but at least they aren't trying to sell our public land to the billionaires. I would rather pay a few hundred dollars in higher taxes than face No trespassing signs everywhere. And there is...

RE: Public land, good news! days Yes California might be an exception to the upcoming fire sale, as i i think most Californians would be unhappy giving up their public land, So thank god for your liberal legislature, otherwise you could lose half of your great state . That's...

Nugent is a nut, a hyper druggie without drugs. Why can't he shut up , or better yet. When you see the antics he pulled to get out from serving his country , You can surely get a better understanding about the depth of his lunacy

There are no predictions. It is what it is, Western wildlife populations have seen dramatically changes as has hunting itself. Most all of it has to do with the impact of humans. Period. No ifs ands or buts, there are. no silly predictions. Just reality

I've been a few places too, and you are either being funny or completely blind to reality

Dw, your remark about over population is remarkable. It's estamated that 60%,of the worlds wildlife will be gone by 2020.,,,, it's has little to do with standing shoulder to shoulder. Look what has happened to the ocean fisheries. Look around, have you grown up with...

Cry cry cry, quit breeding like rabbits as that is by far the biggest contributer to the loss of hunting lands, but just wait, I see the house has fast tracked legislation to transfer and it sell the Westside public land. Thanks guys for voting the radical right to power

LAST EDITED ON Jan-09-17 AT 09:47PM (MST)[p]The Area10 deer herd is the worst I have seen in my life, over 40 years of hunting there. populations were low in the late 70s. But the overall pressure and other factors make this a sea change in Nevadas largest deer herd. My guess is that it...

I like the post that had Trump saying he will build a wall, and then shows El Chapo remarking that we build tunnels dumb ass., how is that going to work for you? God rightwingers are dumb

I guess our grandkids will find out if we dodged a bullet or took one? I'm guessing it's their loss. in the west it's almost sport, as I have watched one area after another get it's wildlife and the associated hunting sport ruined by development and all that goes with it.

That's good, but the proof is in what happens later down the road. Trump definitely has his advisors keep an eye on the pulse of what's popular in the hunting community. But there are few if any win win situations in the modern world of balancing natural resources, growth, greed, and...

To steer this back to original thread, I am glad Trump has picked someone why is not a threat to dismantle our public lands system

Interesting? Trump is adamant that its nothing, but others like Sen John McCain say otherwise? I guess we will see

You need to worry less about what a few celebrities think . Actually you could quote a lot of Donald Trumps statements and get a kick out of that too.

Your Trump revolution isn't going to last, and if they push a radical agenda too far, I guarantee it will be worse for hunting afterwords. I personally don't care if Trump does this and that, but I do Cate about the bottom line. That's the enhancement of outdoor opportunity for all...

You are an amazing moron Boskee. It was Gaorge Bush who just as he was going out of office threw a huge monkey wrench in the abillity of state wildlife managers to relocate bighorn sheep. Look it up if you don't believe me ? The same people who are rabidly pushing the land...

Trump is the poster child of America I believe. Besides I like a few of his ideas, not all though.
