I saw the same thing on the elk I killed, never seen them even close to that bad before. Felt pretty lucky to only get stung once.

Talking with a friend that attended the “point creep focus groups” it sounds like next year you’ll have to use your points to buy a tag from the leftover/reissue list. Not exactly sure what it will look like tho.

Stevo, I’m not sure exactly what the process is but I know for certain that it takes some time for the CPW to get returned tags onto the reissue list. I know of tags that have been turned in and haven’t showed up on the list for several weeks.

I’ve never seen what exactly the ballot initiative that was passed back in the 90s says but I wonder if there is some leeway for things like allowing electronic calls for bears? There’s bound to be some more out of the box ideas that would allow bears to be harvested. CPW still uses bait to trap...

I talked to him and he informed me that he IS the bot. Haha. Honestly tho you know there is always someone who is extraordinarily good at pretty much any given activity. This is something he is amazing at. He gets some good tags but you gotta keep in mind that he was a couple of days away from...

I know who bought that 44 tag today and hes just an average guy like any of us but hes super good at buying tags off the list. No bots, no inside info just watches the list closely and can blaze through the purchase process seamlessly. Funny to hear all the conspiracy theories tho.

Just saw this come across my facebook feed. Looks like the antis are trying to get all trapping banned including live traps as well as a ban on hunting contests. I encourage everyone to please call and or email and make your voices heard and get all your friends family and acquaintances to do...

I want that pack!

Saw this posted on FB yesterday. Pretty crazy that some billionaire didn't buy this up first. https://www.nature.org/en-us/explore/newsroom/agreement-reached-on-fishers-peak-crazy-french-ranch/

Finally found some time to listen to this. I really enjoyed it and felt like I learned a few things. I felt like the biologist was pretty unbiased but there were still things that bothered me. For instance she said the wolves wouldn't eat all the elk because then they would starve, however true...

Congrats to you lucky ones! Colorado Boy, What did you get? MQQSE I saw a couple rams in your unit twice this week, Pmd you as well.

I got 10 and then I got another today apologizing for all the emails! HAHAHA

I don't expect the change to be as drastic for the other species for residents since the tags are much cheaper but non residents might see a pretty big jump. I could be wrong tho, time will tell

LAST EDITED ON May-04-18 AT 12:56PM (MST)[p]I received the unsuccessful for desert sheep as well saying I would receive a point. Then I received a second email saying that was a mistake and I did not get a point.

http://freemonsranch.com Don't know much about it, just drove by them a bunch but it might be worth looking at

Awesome buck! Congrats!

Hey Guys! I spent some time looking at the game and fish website but I didnt find my answer so I was hoping someone here could help me out. It looks like a large part of the state is "Predatory Management area". What exactly does that mean as far as licensing for a non resident? Do I need a...

It's a sheep tag but it may be a ewe tag. I put one for 2nd choice last minute. Either way I'm not gonna complain. Not seeing too many positive responses out there, hopefully the draw is still in progress!

I show a 500 code this morning. Good luck everybody!

The weighted points would give a pretty good advantage if there were equal numbers of applicants in each point group. The problem is that in most units there are far more applicants with fewer points so the odds of the lucky number coming from the point group is much greater which voids any...

Wow! Awesome, thanks for sharing

I grew up in the area and I've rifle hunted the unit twice. The first time took me 7pps to draw, the next took 12pps. I think its a misconception that the trophy quality of an area directly related to the number of points it takes to draw. It's always just supply and demand and I do not believe...

Sheep and goat are officially posted. Hope everyone will share their success here for all of us losers! Haha

Personally I really like the point system here that is speaking from a residents point of view. Having said that I do believe it could be better. I am really against a totally random draw, while its "fairness" cant be argued its just not a good system. I have 2 friends who applied in NM over a 5...

Sorry for the ultra slow response fellas. I cant figure out how to attach the form letters to our State Representatives as well as the letter to Conejos County Clean Water which is the local environmental group that is pushing for the monument and trying to get local support. I think CCCW is...

Hey guys I don't know how many of you may be aware but there is a push going on right now to expand the Rio Grand Del Norte National Monument into southern CO. There is a group of local Ranchers, hunters, fisherman and concerned citizens opposing it. They have some letters ready to sign and they...

Sorry for the quadruple post. Wish I could say it makes me feel better that it wasn't just me. Like I said , just gotta take those stats with a grain of salt

Hey guys this is a really interesting and educational thread. Seems to be alot of knowledge and experience here. One question i had that might be a little off topic is about the accuracy of the aging being done when rams are checked in after harvest. Now im from CO but ive been present when...

This was 2009, from left my oldest bro, my uncle, little bro, myself, my cousin, older bro and my dad. 7 for 7 in 5 days, it was a week to remember! Hopefully we get a chance to try and top it again soon.

>How do you gents propose to >change the system? 3+8 for me now. Just for the record I'm pretty happy with the system we have in place now. Best change I could think of would be to make it so applicants would have to choose either sheep, goat or moose. Simple and effective.

I've been thinking about what kind of things could be done to remedy this problem. A few thoughts I've had. Get rid of the PP only hunt code, it may not make a huge difference but it looks like there are a few hundred people that could draw darn near any tag they applied for. This would help...

I kinda like the point system personally. I do think it could be tweaked but its a good system. Random draws suck! I've seen guys draw 2-3 times in new mexico while another friend whose been applying longer has yet to draw. At least now if you chose to play the "points game" you are building...

Count me in!!

ya aint got any lineman friends? looks like a fatty at the base but somebody could throw on a pair of hooks and climb on up that beast and retrieve it.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck but it could always be worse. Wishing the best for your dad and good luck to you! Be safe up there!

Congratulations! that's a great looking ram!

Congratulations! Absolute dream bull, especially with a bow!
