    Colorado M/L Bull

    Got a couple of better pictures. Here is the story....They set up near a water source and the bull and his cows came to water. He shot him in the shoulder and the bull jumped in the water and either died or drowned. The first picture shows just the tip of an antler sticking out of the water...

    Colorado M/L Bull

    I have a friend and neighbor just talked to me and he just filled his bull tag in the muzzle loading season in Unit 10......yep I said Unit 10. It took 25 points to draw. The picture isn't very good, so I am not posting it, I'll do it when I get a better one. Looks to me to be 350 or 360. He...

    USDA bans import of harvested game birds from Canada

    As I understand it, the way they pass it on is thru their crap droppings. It gets on their feet and is spread to other areas and to the grass they eat.

    USDA bans import of harvested game birds from Canada

    Many years ago when there was an outbreak of Newcastle disease in chickens, we could only bring cooked quail & pheasant meat back from Mexico. We hunted Mexico & Baja a lot for quail & pheasants and we spent a lot of evenings around our campfire cooking meat and getting it on ice so we could...

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    The problem is there is no data on long term exposure to solar radiation from the sun. During space travel to and from the moon, the solar radiation is pretty much blocked out. When (if) we colonize Mars, there will be long term exposure to lots of solar radiation. Supposedly a base on the moon...

    Donated Tags for Disabled Veterans in Wyoming

    I have taken a couple of moose (a bull & a cow) in Canada and the cow I took was the best eating game meat I have ever tasted. Congratulations and get ready for some fun.

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    To my knowledge there is no way to know who gets the landowner tags and how many they get. I guess you could contact the CPW wildlife manager in each unit and ask them. If they provide the information, you could contact the landowner and ask if you could buy a tag. The CPW biologists and...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I don't remember when the legislature passed the 20%, but my guess is not too many people were paying attention to it then . I am sure the outfitters and big landowners were backing it bigtime. After skimming off tags for family and friends, the rest go to the highest bidders. It would be...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    Look at the recording of the meeting in the original post. It was used there. They use a pitcher of water and fill glasses for the example. Out state legislature passed a law that says 20 % of the tags go to landowners right off the top. The there is another set aside of 15% for jr hunters...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    Go back to my original post (#2) and look at the example I quote from the CPW statistics.....in some units, residents only get 50% of the tags to draw from. That my friend is totally unacceptable.

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    Out of retirement....hell no! LOL. I was not a big fan of NASA back in the Shuttle days (IMHO they were completely and totally at fault for the 2 Shuttle disasters). Too much politics back then and even more today. I used to tell the NASA guys "Get the hell out of our way so we can do our jobs...

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    WW2 technology !! I take it with me on some hunting trips. The smoked variety diced up & browned is great in scrambled eggs.

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    The really great spinoffs from the space program that we enjoy and take for granted today are endless. I remember back in the early 70's Rockwell (the company I worked for then) started a company that used the spray foam insulation developed for the the second stage of the Saturn rocket to...

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    Took too long to do this. ( started my aerospace career of 40 years, working on the Apollo/Saturn program over 60 years ago). The argument is it was too expensive and what did we get out of the billions we spent. Probably the most beneficial is what we all use today and take for granted......the...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I lived in Texas for a couple of years and there is almost no public land for hunting except for SW Texas around Big Bend. Hunters have always payed to hunt, that whey we see so many Texans here in Colorado. They also high fence their land and import lots of exotics, especially African game...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I have a much narrower point of view. I only hunt a few deer and elk units and they are not really blue chip units. Over the years I have found a few that I know well and I have been successful in. The one thing that is being discussed that will potentially hurt me the most is using points for...
