    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    I’m not trying to scare folks or be some sort of alarmist. I think at this point, with what we know, it is safe to say that CWD crossing to humans is a relatively low risk. Even if it does or has, it’s a very low number of people affected by it. But…. They said the same thing about Mad cow...

    Boykin or cocker spaniel breeder around MT,ND,SD,WY

    I see some pop up in ND and SD on bismanonline from time to time. I think there was a litter in ND earlier this year, but it didn't look like they were real formal breeders. Other than that, I think it's JC boykins or something in SD is the only breeder I know of Nevermind they're out of Ohio...

    Hunters For Access Raffle - 2024

    Does anyone else find it kind of comical that huntquietly/hunters4access has been really critical of Aron Snyder and Joe Rogan, and then a Kifaru fanny pack named after Joe Rogan ends up in their raffle. It’s not a big deal and I don’t mean that as a critique, but it made me chuckle. I wonder...

    The public trust, that's what this argument is about at its core. Make no mistake about it. Arguments about what a landowner wants for access is a distraction from the heart of the issue. Letting them have first swing at the elk tags is a backwards way of going about it. They are a...

    I have acknowledged almost all of that, mostly in my very first post. I think "eplus" can stay. But let New Mexican residents sit down and decide what split they want for the total number of elk tags. Not the split after the landowners take what they want, but the split on whats available...

    HAHA the question is so loaded and disingenuous it's mind boggling to even remotely think it serious. I should walk down the street and ask residents if they support 40% of their elk getting sold to the highest bidder for tens of millions of dollars with a tiny fraction of that money coming...

    Sure. But everything I can find says thats not where most of the elk are. And regardless of what land they're on, they belong to all the residents of New Mexico.

    That's only primary zone. You're leaving out SMZ, which in 2023 appears to be 6,473 unless someone can correct me. The data from this report https://www.takebackyourelk.com/ is from 20-21. According to NM GF data, 38,024 total elk licenses were sold in 2023. So, 38,024 (total tags) - 22,783...

    You asked about control of state politics, not whether not this is different than other states. This isn't about market price. You stated there was a benefit to putting a dollar value on elk. I'm asking you to quantify that benefit? If you're only answer is that landowners are more...

    When New Mexican residents and local orgs voice their concern to commissioners and get commission members to talk about this very issue, they get kicked off the commission by the governor. Or the Gov. getting donations from landowners/outfitters that benefit from this system. That is using...

    “Just last year, that generated more than $83-million worth of sales to private individuals that are selling a public resource,” Jesse Deubel, the Executive Director of the NM Wildlife Federation told KRQE." If I am not mistaken, Mr. Deubel has expounded on this since this article and stated...

    According to this podcast, 54.5% of the total elk are obtained by a New Mexico resident hunter without paying a landowner or outfitter. https://hunttalkradio.com/2022/11/21/episode-199-wildlife-trustees-accountable-to-who/

    Residents pay 90 bucks. You're going to tell me that when tens of thousands of New Mexican residents are going without a tag every year, and 40% of the New Mexico elk tags are getting sold for 20x-200X their resident rate that is somehow not exactly how it looks? I think it's pretty straight...

    Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, are all have growing or steady elk populations. This idea that we have to pimp out 40% of the elk to premium purchasers to make a herd grow is complete and utter nonsense. New Mexico Pronghorn populations are decreasing and they have a 67% set aside for...
