    Colorado gun ban

    The legislative session ends next Wednesday, so they have 10 days left. I'm hoping it dies in the senate. The senate is the place where things traditionally die in Colorado. Some Dems voted with the Rs on the house side, have to wait and see how it goes in the senate.

    Boulder Hunting Ban

    Bowhunting too. It's not the safety aspect, it's just that they don't like hunting. I hunt private land that is surrounded by a lot more houses than are up on Sugarloaf. If one is thoughtful about where the bullet is going after it double lungs it's not rocket science. Face it. Many people in...

    Fixing social security

    Forgive me for not reading all 747 posts that preceded my comment. It's tax time. I give all my stuff to the CPA way early. I have a business and investments. Might be typical here. I also read over the tax forms my CPA prepares, figuring the more I understand the more able I am to ask...

    Recreation without Consequences?

    Whenever I read these things it always seems to come down to not sharing the resource, keeping the riff raff out. I've heard of ATVs scaring off elk less than hikers. ATVs can be located via sound every moment they are out there, no surprises, a quiet hiker is indistinguishable from the most...

    Couldnt roll my eyes any harder

    I don't think it will go anywhere. The commissioners, which include many bunny hugging anti hunting types, passed the rule in August. Currently all users have to follow the same rules as hunters. Many SWA have very specific rules to make the areas into ideal habitat, other SWAs allow camping...

    Section of BLM camping restricted?

    Frankly the commercialisation of wildlife leaves a bad taste in my mouth. When I'm king I'll make the outfitters go back to cowboying.

    County encourages ATV civil disobedience (long c&p)

    Good read. I started out kind of leaning one way and ended up leaning the other way. Sometimes endangered species are actually plentiful, just no one looks for them. I do know that in the desert every footprint stays there a long long time. Trucks, ATVs, dirt and Mtn bikes can lay down a lot of...

    E-bike Access?

    Thanks, that's my model. I seldom go at 20 anyway, bike paths, it would be nice though when I'm forced to go on roads. Mtn biking paths I'm often hardly moving as they put them over all kinds of dips and bumps. I'm intent on using it on all those 4wd roads that I never want to take my truck on...

    E-bike Access?

    My state in trying to promote e bike use offered an eleven hundred dollar instant rebate at the point of purchase. You had to apply, there were income guidelines of 80% of median by county but when you live amongst billionaires it's easy, also there was a lottery. Largest company in the US had...

    State Land Board Outdoor Recreation Business Plan

    I've never to my knowledge been on State Trust Lands. I see them on maps of those units out in the NW corner of the state but have never been to them. Do they lease them out to outfitters? Seems to me that opening them up to all would be a good thing. Are they mostly for bird hunting in the east?

    E-bike Access?

    It's just one more simple dispute over access. Technological innovation leads to ATVs and mountain bikes, and now E bikes. The user groups with the most power win. Usually power is number of participants and the time and inclination to advocate. Mountain bikes were extremely successful. There...

    Boebert introduces federal legislation to counter CO wolf reintroduction

    The bill is appreciated even if it has little chance of passing. Politics is more than getting elected, it's also about passing legislation. To pass legislation you either need a very popular issue or some people who like you and some you can maybe do some horse trading with. Used to be...

    Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission

    I'd like to say thanks to all who have made the effort to take part in supporting hunting in Colorado. I personally haven't done much of late. I wasn't aware of how anti hunting Polis actually is, or maybe he isn't but his husband for sure is a radical animal rights nut. He is term limited but...

    Grizzly kills woman hiker in Montana yesterday, by Yellowstone

    I'm sorry for Ms. Adamson and her family.

    SCOTUS signals interest in taking a look at Antiquities Act (Monuments)

    I posted this over two years ago. Looks like SCOTUS is off on break for the summer. That section of Indian Creek sure has changed. See the water pooling on the rock? Not often you see that in the desert, brought out the colors nice I thought. A Lama too, they are going the way of the cassette...

    Colorado “Managing Wildlife in an Era of Mutualism.”

    I can't imagine anything improving policy wise in CO. Polis has set the tone, urban Democrats look to control both sides of the legislature for the foreseeable future and they've already packed all relevant boards and committees. Not that Polis or Dems are bad mind you, it's just that they know...

    Law Enforcement on Public Lands

    Lots of homeless camped all over public land here. Sometimes the camps get pretty large with all kinds of stuff going on, not all of the model citizens. Beyond that there are abandoned lit fires, and all kinds of other careless with the rules types from regular users. A LEO on public lands has...

    BLM proposing conservation leasing

    I read a web site of retired FS employees, mostly managers, and probably some current employees using anonymous aliases. There are also a couple employees of Wild Earth Guardians etc. Seems like all the FS types have severe misgivings, all the wolf huggers love it. Conservation is not only a...

    Ryan Busse is a coward

    I didn't go back too far to read, anyone wishing to summarize in ten words or less is welcome. I read the Busse article when it came out. He's milking the bad guy turned good angle. Everyone loves it when someone from the other tribe comes over. He re uses bad data too, I mean he's a smart guy...

    Judge Rules in Favor of Corner Crossing Hunters

    I'm hoping this leads to a general move towards access to public lands across the west. Especially river access as in Montana, also landlocked or public with impossible access.
