Fixing Western Hunting
I think we are already starting to implement those ideas in various western states..scopes on MZ rifles being a good example. And the increased vocalizations around the long range hunting topic. If you spend anytime reading those threads you will find they all end up devolving into fighting...- Mtn Dawg

Fixing Western Hunting
I’m maybe a little late to this thread(party) but I see some value to it. The main value I see, and thanks to the OP, is that there is some thought to having a productive discussion to fixing a problem either real or perceived.- Mtn Dawg

What The Hell is Science-Based Management?
I’ve got to respond to this. The first 2 sentences are your take are not in any way related to science as we understand it. They are totally subjective. Why is the fact that we try to manage wildlife weird? Just for an example. It doesn’t seem weird at all to me. We as a species have a...- Mtn Dawg

CO BGSS 2024
That is an interesting assertion. I’ve been a resident for 34 years. With the crowding issues that have become magnified over the past 4-5 years my observation has been that access is one of the major contributing factors to the crowding issues. Our terrain includes the highest mountains of any... -

Did you shoot your first deer with open sights?
My 13 yo son shot his first deer, a spike Muley buck, with a muzzleloader this past fall. It had a rear aperture sight with open bead front site. Both my boys were brought up shooting open sight .22lr. I think you learn to be more careful shooters starting that way- Mtn Dawg

ID refuses to send wolves to CO, joining WY and MT.
Plus it’s a bit of a surprise given they have been telling us for some time that they are targeting 1st phase release for Vail corridor, Aspen corridor or Montrose. Sheephorn area north to Radium swa is a major wintering area for mule deer and elk. I guess now they will get that stubborn over... -

ID refuses to send wolves to CO, joining WY and MT.
not totally dismissing it, just saying it is suspect. I live here and keep my eyes and ears open. Over the past three years I’ve spent upwards of 40 days in summer and fall in this unit. I spent a day checking out the wintering areas down near the Colorado last winter. Drove through the... -

ID refuses to send wolves to CO, joining WY and MT.
I am not believing there are 4700 elk in 15 and 27. Spent 5 days muzzleloader, 4 days 1st rifle and 4 days second rifle plus 2 days scouting during third rifle. I heard 6 or 7 rifle shots the whole time. -

Classic western Lever gun?
My brother hunts MN whitetail with an 1895 in 30-40Krag. That is an unsung cartridge. -

ID refuses to send wolves to CO, joining WY and MT.
Ha ha. Laughing along with you. The joke continues. Likely will never get to hunt them. This whole initiative is predicated on a fantasy view of nature where a mythical balance occurs and hunters are the odd man out. The wolves take our place. The thing that is not acknowledged is that... -

Should rifle elk be limited?
I hear all the time that CPW can’t change the NR allocations whether limited draw or OTC but I have never seen any financials to support that assertion. Sure NR bring in a ton of revenue, however would it not be extremely informative to know the actual financials we are talking about? Maybe a... -

Should rifle elk be limited?
I believe that would be illegal under our current legal structure. That would take a legislative move to change.
