    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    The other thing that they are considering is using points for 2nd, 3rd & 4th choices, which is a huge change as now only 1st choice uses points. I choose a point for first choice and choose a unit I can usually draw for 2nd or 3rd. I can still hunt almost every year even tho my 2nd or 3rd choice...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I hunt out of state a lot and I go to California too ( I was born there and lived there for 58 years before I retired and left). But when Colorado residents are only get 50% of the drawing tags in certain units, there needs to be something done. Our CPW tout that we (residents) get 75 to 80% of...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I have listened to about half of it, I'll finish later this evening. My first take is this Commission is leaning heavily toward the liberal, conservation and tree hugger members. (I encourage you to google CPW Commission and read the resume's of the members). I really believe the last 2...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    3 1/2 weeks after surgery, started PT yesterday. Woke up this morning a little sore. Did some stretching, coffee and my mile walk. Pt will be 3 days a week until at least mid October. Still losing weight, over #60 this morning when I got on the scales, has taken 18 months. Really happy with...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    Had my post op appointment with my doc today. He said I was doing fantastic and I will start full blown PT next week. This whole back surgery and recovery has gone a lot better than I expected. Hope everything continues!

    An explanation of residents frustration

    There is a current group of Colorado residents who volunteered to participate in a roundtable to discuss changes to the big game hunting rules as far as tag selection, preference points and many other points that may or may not be up for change shortly. I applied to be part of the group, but was...

    An explanation of residents frustration

    It's all about money. If we cut the number of NR tags and put limits on OTC tags, we (residents) better be prepared to pay more to hunt here.

    Thoughts on Browning White/Gran/Feather Lightning

    Why 16ga? I would rather have a 20 ga. Easier to get ammo and you can get the same or better performance with a 3" 20 ga that the 16 ga.

    Burn Pits.

    I'll start by saying I am not defending the military and how they handled their base operations during this period. My experience in the military is a Vietnam era draftee in the Army who was injured in a non combat situation which resulted in my disability. The bases in the middle east combat...

    Colorado Monsoons

    I havn't been out in a couple of weeks (been recuperating from back surgery), but a neighbor was up around Silverton and the high country here in SW Colorado looks lush & green. Tons of wildflowers and water everywhere. Monsoons started a month early and have not let up. Got some rain here last...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    Sunday morning....Woke up this am a little stiff and sore. Been hitting it pretty hard all week (at least for an 80 year old goat who had major back surgery 9 days ago!), seems like a little rest is in order. Still do some treadmill walking, but that will be it. Will start again tomorrow morning...

    I am a disabled vet too, altho I was drafted and never in combat, I would do it again also. I was young and it really made a difference in my life.

    They also burned human waste. I spent my aerospace working career working around all types of chemicals used for adhesives, sealers, cutting lubrications, high strength cleaners and the worst of all composite fillers, adhesives and sealants. These all are known carcinogens. Early on we used no...

    Shooting Bags

    I put sand in one of my vacume meat bags and seal it. Then I put it in an old wool sock and slide it between my shoulder and the butt. Works great.

    Tomorrow's The Day

    This afternoon I am going to walk to the mailbox and back, about 1/2 mile r/t, but Dr orders, I have to use a walker. I turn on the tv and watch it while I am using the treadmill, otherwise pretty boring. Already 1 hour on it. I didn't go outside because my wife was gone and I want her around...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    Tuesday morning... Pain from the incision has definitely gotten better, sleeping well too. Going to start walking outside today and only use my treadmill when the weather doesn't cooperate. It sure looks like the results are going to be good (for an old man!). Thanks for all your get well wishes.
