Would love to see one of these with deer too!
Just wait. Limited is coming.
I was thinking the same about NM, but I guess NR's are buying the LO tags up.I didn't read the article, only looked at the data box. Data is off. 5400 WY NR elk licenses? 34% to NR in NM? Not right.
I wish they would triple the price, and cut quotas to 1/3. That would make my Deer hunts a lot more peaceful with less Carp fisherman out there……Colorado could double the cost of NonRes elk fees and they’d still sell out
Without a doubt and it appears they included all those in their NM stats. Although it states doesn't include private tags sold to non-residents.I was thinking the same about NM, but I guess NR's are buying the LO tags up.
I think the idea is that if the cost of tags is raised, the tag numbers can be cut, and it wouldn’t require a loss in revenue to our hungry CPW department.Wyoming will sell every $2000 elk tag they can print. There’s a waiting list for $8000 nm landowner vouchers. Tag cost isn’t a barrier.
Yep you can invalidate all the “how will the state of Co survive” arguments…I think the idea is that if the cost of tags is raised, the tag numbers can be cut, and it wouldn’t require a loss in revenue to our hungry CPW department.
Hate to say it but hunters need to put more effort in educating voters and fundraising to defeat anti-hunting efforts and less time fighting over who gets what tags.
Agreed, there's some "non-residents" you fellas should be more worried about -- than fighting within the community. And they are 4 legged, not 2. I'm curious to see how long it takes for the grizzlies to get shipped in. If you guys had put effort elsewhere, maybe the 4 legged variety wouldn't be on the way.Here’s a great example of your standard squabbling over something that doesn’t matter when there’s a much bigger problem at hand.
Wolves. In 20 years it won’t matter because the Colorado elk population will be a quarter of what it is today.
We don’t have control of anything in this state anymore. I would be more open to grizz since it would clear the back country out and make people realize animals aren’t all about snuggles, the mountain bikers and hikers won’t vote for something that could hurt them though… guess we will find out if/when wolves get prolific enoughAgreed, there's some "non-residents" you fellas should be more worried about -- than fighting within the community.

I don't think raising the prices will stop it, you guys should push for a cap, but i don't think you have hunters or true stewards of the wildlife in the decision making roles anymore.
That is what I really like about numbers. They never lie. But they can't be manipulated to fit any narrative.
I could write an article with a headline "Co residents dont want more elk tags" and post a graph with several units with NR caps where not enough residents thought it "wasn't worth the points" so NR got a bigger percentage than the original percentage.
Now would I agree colorado needs to do a little more for the residents. Yes, and they are doing that. They already have a cap change coming up for NR.
I would say HOWL is good one to gather support nationally and really get the word out. I’d start there.Please enlighten us as to which organization(s) are worth their salt to donate our funds to.
The field is so diluted that none make a difference
