Colorado DOW $32.4 million error????

In reality, it looks like the only way to make up this loss is to increase resident big game license fees, or guarantee more non-residents big game licenses. That's just my opinion.

Our dow is so messed up man, they couldn't get a wet dream right!
I don't agree on some of the things they are doing. A few years ago they tried introducing the lynx and it was a flop bad.. the coyotes out hustled the cats for the rabbits and most staved for what some animal we can do nothing with? Why dont they trade arizona for some different genetic bulls and if they are gonna get moose Why not get alaska moose. dall sheep or stone or get some big rams from alberta not a stupid cat that became extinct for a reason the bobcat is much better adapt for around here

I would love to meet a government agency that values money (whether they have it or not) and make decisions that are smart. When you look at most of the govt. buildings they are very nice and yet they all run deficits. Here they are moving offices and building new stuff because they think they have the money, but what's the value add or necessity for them? Even if the money is there do they ever think, moving and building some new facility may not be required right now or maybe lets lower some prices for folks or out perform the reserve requirements? If they have it they blow it, its not there money, and you can always get more from the state, the feds or raising prices. It's a systematic wide problem starting with the feds and tricking down the parks dept in local towns.

I would love to lean to the left on social programs, but once you see the way these administrations perform you can't help but lean to the right. Sorry to vent.

Maybe Elk are not the only numbers the DOW has trouble counting.
Those pesky ?DOW dollars? can be like Elk sometimes, mighty sneaky and tough to find?
Having trouble getting those ?DOW dollars? to match up with reality? Just count them the same way the DOW counts Elk. Make up a number, add some zeroes on the back end until the total looks good ? it will all work out.
If you're still having trouble trying to find those illusive ?DOW dollars?, use some Elk hunting advice from any DOW field agent; ?get out of the truck?. Or, as good ole jd332001 once said; ?its (sic) very easy ? if you get off your butt?. After you find say, 32.4 or so ?DOW dollars? - don't forget to add the zeroes until the number looks like something you think you'll like. Makes for a great count ? just like the Elk population.
Probably a good thing that the auditors only inspect ?DOW dollars? and not Elk population numbers, it could be tough trying to explain those Elk numbers the DOW is ?marketing? tags for.
Whether you're a resident, or not ? one thing you can count on; that ?marketing plan? the DOW has for ?the Colorado Elk hunting experience? includes higher prices - because it really is all about the money?
