How do you have a name like "Nature Conservancy" and push for industrial developments on the very land you claim to want to "conserve".
These guys took in 1.3 BILLION in FY'22. That much cash tends to come with strings.....
Not to mention they were caught selling carbon credits to corporations...
Jumped on 2 recently thru Silencer Shop as an individual.
Purchased March 5th.
Certified form 4 on the 26th March.
One approved on the 28th and the other on the 29th.
Dealer was blown away.
Good post.
What I'll add is:
1. Just because you read one or even a handful of posts of an NR complaining about this or that tag, its just one guy. That person doesn't speak for everyone. We all need to remember that. Resident or Non.
I donated to CRWM and so did alot of other people that don't...
Colorado has OTC tags and tons of no-point/low point units. There is nothing stopping any resident from going out and hunting very good areas.
If you kick one NR out, there is no way to logically say a non hunting resident will take their place.
Listened yesterday on my way to a job.
Good:
Mentioning HOWL and other lesser known conservation groups.
I enjoyed some of the "back in the day" stories.
Bad:
Discussing Colorado Mtn Lion ballot initiative, but completely failing to acknowledge how it really got started. (Derek Wolfe IG post)...
Pretty sure residents could buy a second tag this year in those units you mentioned and nobody wanted them. At least not for the NR price. Might have to fact check me there though.
There would probably be over 60k applications. If you assume 3x choices per app. Leaves you with 180,000 choices...
Because everyone is logging in at approximately the same time causing website issues. Just a few years ago. it wasn't an issue.
And people that show up in person don't get a random number at all.
There are horror stories every year about the online waiting room booting people before purchase and some of you want to totally depend on that system to function? I've talked to fish and game employees and they know that they can't handle the site traffic. That site needs to be bulletproof...
Only been on one Neb elk hunt, and a couple scouting trips but I'll throw my two cents:
Pay attention to anything with long white tips.
Look for fronts that turn and point up.
Bulls with cows are not necessarily the highest scoring in the area.
Seems like Nebraska genetics tend more toward...
Ag extension agents round here typically get a few years of experience then bail to a big ag company or a higher paying job at a university. Which is fine. Its their choice. I've gone through about 6 in the last dozen or so years for my area. Lifecycle is typically 2-4 years. None have had...
You think that is weak while suggesting running a multi-million dollar operation from a fresh out of college ag extension educator? or a pamphlet rack???
Know what other pamphlets are in that FSA rack?
Ones on farmer suicide.
