You really have to dig into the history a little deeper. Look at the total number of tags in the unit. The deer and antelope units I like to hunt have a lot less tags than they did 10 or 20 years ago. This year the type 6 tags were really low compared to previous years. I have been hunting...

Farmers that are getting crop damage have to call G & F and report it. Biologists come on site and verify it is happening. The farmer gets a depredation permit to kill a definate number of animals and they are picked up to be processed and given to food banks, etc. Thats how it happen here...

Really bad deal for sure. We have some poachers around here. Usually just before hunting season opens, a lot of the nice buck deer just disappear, never seen again. I think the land owners are poaching them.

Memories to last a lifetime.

Just finished drinking my morning coffee on my deck and watching our local group of deer (usually 30 to 40) move to their daily bedding area. They feed all night near my place and usually stop for a drink at my pond before bedding down. This year there seem to be fewer fawns than I normally...

I talked to my cousin today, she lives in Cedar Falls. Her place had no damage. Tough luck, hope everything else is OK.

Like I stated in another post, the national forests here in SW Colorado are packed with people. In 20 years, I've never seen it like this. Hope it doesn't happen!

Down here in SW Colorado we have been pretty lucky. Most fires at this time of the year are started by lightning and we have had a couple that were handled pretty fast. Monsoons have been almost non existent for the last month. No monsoons....no lightning.

Same here.

Jim...you are totally correct. If you want to compete against other people.....there are plenty of shooting sports out there. I compete in several of them.

It was about 15 years ago and I really don't remember the name of the place.

I would suggest you take a tour of any place you look at for processing. I butcher my own because there no to be sure you are getting you own meat back when it is ground. One year we went to a couple of processors in Riverton and I almost lost my lunch it was so bad. Just sayin...............

I generally agree with you...But there are exceptions for me. I am 78 (be 79 in Oct) and don't have all that many years left to hunt. I have given information about some of my spots (Wyoming, Colorado & California) to people here on the forum that I trust. Why would I do that? They all take a...

My neighbor was up in the San Juan NF about 20 miles from here and said it was wall to wall people camping, never seen it so packed. Also all our rv parks here in town are full. They all have signs saying "No Vacancy"

I was camping at Gunnison for a week (last week) and I couldn't believe how crowded it was . All the NF campgrounds were full and so were the rv parks. Went to Crested Butte and it was difficult to find a place to park. Tons of rv's on the road too.

I have the same book!

Jim, you are correct. There was a poster with a lot of information on it and it said they were meat hunting. I didn't take a picture of it.

Last week we spent all week in Gunnison camping. Spent a day in Crested Butte and visited their museum. This mount was there. I was shot near Crested Butte in 1899 and was certified as a new world record (at that time) scoring 442 3/8. It is massive. Pretty cool...........

College football season is an absolute mess! I am a former college football player and every fall is my time of year. Football and hunting....who could ask for more. :love: looks like half of it is gone. PAC 12 (and others too) has cancelled it's fall football because of covid. It is going to...

Wyoming for deer, also in a unit I have never hunted before. Luckily.......I have other guys who have hunted it before that I am going with.
