    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...

    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...

    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...

    Knew you would be home before the court date and wouldn't come back to fight it.

    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...

    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...

    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...
