    Why the animosity?

    No disagreement with that here!

    Why the animosity?

    Here in Colorado they don't give the RFW tags away, the ranches have to buy them just like everyone else. They just don't have to draw for them.

    Down here in SW Colorado, the turkeys are up to 8K or 9K feet. In the spring they follow the snow line as it melts . They winter here at around 6,000'.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    In my other life when I was working......on any piece of equipment that had to be lab calibrated and had adjustment knobs, we sealed them with a white chalky seal. You could immediately see if it had been tampered with as the seal would be broken. I would put a dolop of silicon seal on the...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Do me a favor and keep your drivel to yourself. Start your own post so we all know and can stay off of it.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Our county gives everyone a weekly update on the vaccinations. Our county has around 25,000 residents and over 12,000 have been vaccinated so far. Today there is an all day driveup clinic and they will vaccinate any adult for free until the supply runs out.

    Ranching for Wildlife tags

    Remember one thing....the ranch isn't allocating the tags for RFW because they want you to hunt on their private ranch. It is because they have to in order to get their own tags for their clients and/or their outfitter.

    Ranching for Wildlife tags

    I saw Colorado's RFW mentioned in another post and it brought to mind my experience hunting RFW ranches. The RFW program (for those who don't know) is a program that private ranches can get tags for most big game species. They can dispose of them as they see fit. In return for this privilege...

    One last gift

    What a great gift. Your Dad would be pleased for sure. I lost my Dad 8 years ago and still miss him every day. Dad passed at 94 , we had so many great times together. My last hunt with him was when he was 90, I got him the last elk he killed. Never forget the joy we both got when we eating...

    State Funding for Wildlife

    The current discussion about Wyoming's current desire to change the nonresident cost and availability of hunting permits for big game raises a question for all of us. My state of Colorado's position on funding for our Parks and Wildlife Department that it is a self funded organization and it...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    I don't like the unlimited elk tags. I don't hunt 2nd or 3rd season for that reason and you are right about the quality of experience. We have already went from unlimited archery tags to drawing for them. Also not all elk units are unlimited. We have already cut the cow tags way back too.

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    Welcome to the forum. First, I reload for everything except rimfire. I also hunt with all bolt actions, I have 6 of them . I learned a long time ago that no two guns are alike, even tho they are from the same mfgr and exactly the same model and caliber. They all shoot different and if you are...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    I'll start by saying that I don't know much about the resident draw other than some of my friends who live in Wyoming. My perception is that Wyoming , with the least population of any state and the 80% of tags going to residents, is providing their hunters with tons of tags for elk, deer and...
