My guess is that deer browse in the winter , spring, and summer ranges are better than they have been for quite some time. Favorable moisture and some of the habitat improvement projects in that area also help the health of the herd. With fewer deer it has also offered browse the opportunity to...

I copied this from another website: Prop 127-CATS team attacks Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, and Wild Sheep Foundation in email to supporters. All evil “trophy hunters”. I guess RMEF, MDF, and WSF must be the “dark money DC groups” they keep trying to scare voters with...

Former CPW Commissioners urge against lion hunting ban | TheFencePost.com

I'm somewhat amazed that this posting hasn't gotten more attention. You may have noticed my other posts on other websites. I'm trying my best to get the word out to as many outdoorsman, friends, and relatives as possible. The mountain lion proposition 127 in Colorado is real and if it passes...

A buddy of mine in Central Nebraska has told me several times that coon numbers are out of control. I'm sure they are pretty tough on eggs. There also seems to be a lot more coyotes roaming the hills in recent years. A few years back when turkey numbers were higher there were hardly any...

I've watched turkey numbers crash in Nebraska and other areas the past few years. It seems like tags numbers have been cut in Nebraska, Kansas, and elsewhere. There are turkeys here in Colo but you'll have a tougher time finding them in mountain areas with trees since there is so much country...

Ask the RMEF if they like the new CPW!

Coming from someone that has lived in the hotbed area where CWD first started in the US way back in 1980, I can pretty much guarantee that culling projects and increasing tag quotas is not the answer! Right now there is nothing available to prevent the spread of CWD...especially when it is in...

I'm pretty sure the closure is only on public land in select areas.

Sorry I didn't check back earlier. I found out the only way to submit comments in their questionaire is to send them to the email in the comments section.

Sorry, maybe try this link and go to the comments link: https://sites.google.com/wyo.gov/wyomingwildlifetaskforce

Sorry if you've read through this at other websites. This is such a serious matter I thought I would try to contact as many DIY/OYO across the country as possible. My hope is that DIY/OYO will join hands across the country and submit comments to the Wyo Task Force that may catch their...

I agree 100% with Wy-Tex! Hopefully Wyo res gain up on this and get the late muley season dates closed down ASAP. I live in the heart of the CWD in the US. Colo was the first state in the Western US with CWD. The CPW tried culling deer in this area back in the early 80's. Their culling...

16 is a decent hunt but it's a royal pain in the rear dealing with all the private/Q Ranch. Archery may be ok but even during archery the elk tend to know the Q boundary. There actually are several cow rifle hunts open during archery season in 16. Take a look at how many cow tags are issued...

The reason you may not have seen many mature bucks the 4th season is there may not be as many mature bucks as there once were with the increase in tags and later dates?
