    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    Scott for perspective = Again Colorado is flush with cash. In fact we have so much in the system that 11, 22, 144 nr hunting dollars just don’t matter anymore and it is also a fact these dollars will matter less in the future. Also a question or what has the Colorado outfitters ever done for...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    Few things from where I sit and first it is the perception that CPW loves nr money is dated or they don't.. The only reason Colo is not at the same resident/nr split of tags is the outfitting industry period.. Some see it as a govt supported subsidy while others see it as necessary for the...

    2025-2029 Big Game Season Structure (BGSS) Preliminary Alternatives & Staff Recommendations

    A early and late deer license will make the early impossible to draw and the late worthless.. How are the late archery guys supposed to even scout w hunters in the field?? Once they split archery deer into 2 seasons elk will be next.. Terrible idea from where I sit that will basically end...

    Draw Process Working Group Recommendations on Primary Draw Methods & Preference Points

    Looks like they are leaving lo tags the same. They should change them like all other licenses need to be allocated.. All licenses, returned tags, youth, 1-4 choice, it’s only fair they are allocated at a 75-25 split. I would be ok if they use your points but doubt it will go there. My family...

    CPW releases 2025-2029 Big Game Season Structure Preliminary Alternatives

    I support limiting all res and non res archery licenses that would be a step in the right direction to help crowding and point creep. Splitting archery deer into 2 seasons might be one of the dumbest things I have heard in quite an awhile. Any unit with an early and a late archery deer season...

Chris is a long time friend of mine and hunting partner we usually chase deer or elk about every year. He was my spotter on that...

    Hoffman boots

    It is a joke or my father is around a few of us and helps us find, chase, and kill older age animals. So on the last hunt of the year we joke about chasing trophy cows for his hunt as in reality any cow is a trophy cause it fills the freezer w sausage and smoked sticks!! In reality we try and...

    1st Season Results....lets see some!

    Thanks fellas, I got the bull at just shy of 13k ft.. I joked w my buddy who helped pack it out that it would be close and took the shot right at 12,800’. 380 yd shot he rolled over 200 yds and broke parts of 4 points on the roll but he will still eat just the same! Not a giant bull but even...

    Colorado Leftover and Over-the-Counter (OTC) Licenses Coming Up in August

    System is what it is. It could be improved as now it is very unfair to residents but I don’t mind the way it is. With that said it might be because I have killed 2 - 200+ bucks and an almost 190” on returned licenses in the past 6-8 years 😂👍. Got my tag in hand already this year so not...
