    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    100%. Just look at Alaska. Zero moose.

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    All of the NR lifetime licenses were flagged as LL for 2023. But yet AZ gfd still messed up and NR capped all those people. Despite the fact that they should have been in the res pool. The guys that should have draw in the preference point pass all got their tags. The dept called them and...

    Can we unite as Hunters?

    Colorado just got done cutting NR allocation. And also currently working on cutting NR elk otc, while residents want to retain OTC for themselves. And then those same residents try to argue that ALL hunters must help fund their fight against prop 91/101. Not falling for it.

    Can we unite as Hunters?

    With high Deer & Elk populations and 75-80% res allocations, Colorado is also KEEPING far more deer & elk tags for themselves than almost every other state. Both in raw number of tags and if calculated as # of tags kept per resident hunter. And, CO keeps 90% of MSG and are actively fighting...

    Can we unite as Hunters?

    This, 100%. Unfortunate timing that prop 91/101 fundraising would fall at the same time CO resident hunters are pressing for 90/10 (or close). You battle against my NR tag allocation despite the fact I fund CPW at 10x the rate you do? And then CO residents have the nerve to ask me for even...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    Correct, that is how it is done today in Idaho. But there is a very easy way to fix the conundrum that was presented above. Where the Dec. 1st "human pawn" in the current quasi-draw can go through his choices #1 through X in real-time during the day long mess. And he will lose that...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    Plenty of guys are buying the $69 annual hunting license to be in the random NM draw. $185 for base NR Idaho license is more, but also getting more in draw odds than NM offers?

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    The details of the draw will be worked out at the agency level. The agency needs a statute change in order to develop a draw. The current quasi-draw is being performed under the fallacy of calling these OTC tags. HB587 gives the agency the freedom to move to a full-fledge draw and stop...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    Wrong. Only some states use the model of only looking at first choice. Some state draws (e.g, Nevada) allow the customer to put in five choices, in ranked order. And each choice is evaluated before moving on the next applicant. HB587 does not specify what type of NR draw will be...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    The legislator is doing his job. Legislating that NR tags must be distributed by a true DRAW. Rather than using this current real time Dec. 1st mess where everyone participates in a real time draw as a human pawn. Flying in to Idaho in-person, opening up multiple browsers in incognito mode...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    In many states, the details of the draw/allocations are handled at the level of statutes, not regs. So, the legislature must be involved to make any changes. In other states, those details have been delegated to the administrative agency and the agencies themselves can handle the details in...

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/2023-az-elk-draw.301519/page-17#post-3086028 Post 330 on this thread would look to be one example. You will find many more elsewhere. The much more interesting nuance is all the NR lifetime license holders (ex-residents) that should have been given a tag...

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    Look around, you'll find PLENTY of ex-resident (NR) lifetime license holders that didn't get tags that they knew they should have drawn in the 1/2 pass based on points. They caused a stink with the AZ GFD and the GFD exceeded their quotas and gave all those guys their tags. The interesting RUB...

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    Idaho already is a draw. You just all have to sit on your computers in real time for hours and painstakingly watch it play out. Guys fly in to watch the draw - hilarious.

    24 AZ Elk Draw

    Unless they mess up again and need to run things again, set a second CC update deadline. See the 2021 debacle that the department has never explained. And then there is the 2023 debacle where they should have slowed down and fixed their draw results, but didn't. See the 2023 debacle...
