    Not a thing. On the application I remember seeing that they would send a copy of it to us. I was starting to wonder if I had screwed up.

    2024 AZ Spring Hunts

    I talked to my hunting partner yesterday about putting in for the HAM's. But we were thinking that unless fuel drops some we just may stay home. That $1000 fuel bill for the trip down and back starts to bite the wallet a little.

    WY Mule Deer King Buck

    As they say, a buck like that doesn't get big by being stupid. They usually end up getting poached. A friend had a encounter with a giant buck out in the Utah desert canyons.

    We're starting to get a 10 minute shower each day along with flash flood warnings which will close down I-70 through Glenwood Canyon if they turn into a flash flood watch.

    Preference Points

    On the moose hunts people need to differentiate between the species and where you want to hunt them. A Alaskan Yukon moose hunt is going to be up there in cost where as a Shiras moose hunt is going to be a lot more affordable. And since what most hunters are putting in for here in the lower...

    Preference Points

    If you have never been on a guided hunt you need to think about it. On my bear hunt in British Colombia I was just as much of a hunter as I am when I go out by my self. But the outfitter knew where to go instead of me having to spend week, and or months trying to research the area. I was a...

    Re-Wilding Bison

    I have no idea other than Colorado just didn't want to deal with them and the testing for brucellocsis like Utah does. As a FYI, every bison hunter in Utah has to take a blood sample from their kill and send it in for testing. In all the years that Utah has had a bison herd they have never had...

    Re-Wilding Bison

    It is interesting here in Colorado that the CP&W was approached by the Utah DWR when Utah established a bison herd in the Book Cliffs north of I-70 between the Green River and the Colorado boarder and asked if they would be interested in a joint effort in establishing a hunt able herd...

    Preference Points

    Got mine a couple of weeks ago. I think that I am done chasing points and just may cash them in next year on a good unit that I can draw with what I have.

    Monsoons

    We had one heck of a light show last night with very heavy thunder. Not much moisture but boy did it keep me up for a while.

    Colorado Leftover and Over-the-Counter (OTC) Licenses Coming Up in August

    Utah had a problem like this with their preference points for deer tags. Applicants learned how to work the system to their advantage and hunt every year with good tags and still gain preference points. They solved the problem by having the applicant's loose all of their accumulated points if...

    Colorado Leftover and Over-the-Counter (OTC) Licenses Coming Up in August

    With point creep being what it is it may be a good proposal that if you pick up a tag in a unit that requires X amount of points then you forfeit your points if you take the tag. But then what would that point total be would be the question. But I agree that if you have close to max points and...

    Sleeping Bag for a homeless person in Colorado

    Different bags for different people. I hate mummy bags but can sleep in a modified one but I love rectangular ones. For warmth,I think one that is rated down to zero would be best. I picked up one at Walmart that I use that fits the above needs. It is a semi mummy bag and it didn't cost that...

    My Mounts are Getting Closer

    The baboons over there are something else. They treat them like we do coyotes, the only problem is that they have to install razor wire on the top of the fences to keep them contained or from coming into yards and homes.
