What it's coming down to is that as hunters we are our own worst enemies. We all complain about point creep but want to keep everything as is instead of looking at ways to get hunters through the draws quicker. That's where I'd like to see all points used for any tag that is obtained through...

The big thing is I don't care if you have a D, R, I, or whatever behind you name when it comes time to vote us hunters need to stick together. I can understand those just getting into the hunting game wanting a random draw, I also understand those of us who have accumulated a number of points...

Once they start the point game it would be extremely hard to go back to a random draw. Even those with just a few points would raise a ruckus.

With a few more appointments to the Parks and Wildlife board like who just got confirmed we won't have to worry about hunting. Of the three that were nominated only two were confirmed. John Murphy and Jessica Beaulieu were confirmed and Gary Skiba was denied.

One way that they could slow point creep would be to have the applicant loose their points if they draw a tag on any of their choices. I think that if they went to a 50/50 point draw that it would just speed up point creep.

One thing about unit 30, it is very popular with the weekend ATV and side by side folks that live in the Grand Junction area or others that will drive to it. Most of the unit is what you might consider foothills with the higher areas on its boarder. There are good bucks in the unit that hang...

When I had my unit 61 muzzle loader elk tag I didn't see a single deer up high. I think that they were all down low next to the fields.

Also, if you have 13 points going into the draw as a group I would look into units that only require 11 or 12 points for better odds to draw.

That's one thing that I don't care about them. I upgraded from a yearly to a Life and then to a Patron member and they keep offering me a hugely discounted upgrade to Benefactor. All of the upgrades cost me less than 1/3 of what they normally cost.

Personally I would. Everything is out in the open now for most part.

As CC mentioned it is what you are comfortable in shooting. I have shot a few rifles that have a more exaggerated pistol grip and just don't line them. They may be alright for more control in a AR type platform.

If you just have 4 points going in then you do stand a pretty good chance of drawing from looking at last years stats. The problems come when other decided to cash in on a lesser unit and come in with a lot more points, but even then there are enough tags to get you one or two tags with 4...

According to the draw results last year you better have 4+

A big problem is that most hunters don't know just what is happening or what they are thinking about doing until it is already done. This article just gives some a heads up to be ready for some real radical changes........................perhaps.

Is this article a look into the future for elk hunting in Colorado...

If any of you want to make a road trip here is a great occasion to see and experience a rocky mountain oyster feast. It is a great time and I plan on joining the festivities and the eats. The...

They would have to bring them in from populations up in the far north. One problem with them is that even where they have a good population they are very seldom seen. When I was hunting in a wilderness up in British Colombia I asked my guide about them. He said that it had been a dozen...

I'm hoping for saber tooth tigers myself

Must be something going around in the air. Colorado is looking at bringing back the wolverine, however they have been seen in the northern part of the state in the last few years...

The one problem with going with a outfitter to get your feet wet is that they usually have very good ground to hunt. Quite often it will be private where the normal hunter can not hunt without hiring the outfitter. But it is a way to perhaps see how to hunt elk, but with it being very good...
