    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    We have been asking for answers for a long time, and only been given incomplete information in it's place. Not a single person I know is afraid of a wolf on an individual level, which is what I have heard a lot from others not living in wolf country. We are scared of the consequences of doing...

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    We were short on time and there were a lot of people with questions just as valid as mine. I challenged them on how information is disseminated and why there are contradictions between public-facing information and rancher-facing information and why every step they take is reactive to wolves...

    You're talking with that rancher now.

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    We are producers in that part of the state, I have had CPW on site visits, and I attended the CPW Wolf meeting in Kremmling today. I understand the chances of an 'in the act' interaction.

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    I do not disagree with that sentiment. I'm just repeating things direct from CPW as of this afternoon and doing my best to keep personal opinions out of it. The state will not issue a preemptive lethal take permit at this time, based off December. Livestock owners have been covered for 'in the...

    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    Lethal take under 10(j) is authorized if a livestock owner/agent thereof catches wolves in the act of chasing, biting, attacking, etc... livestock that a reasonable person believes would kill the livestock (cows, horses, sheep, goats, etc), livestock herding animals, or livestock guardian...

    For some of us, the reality of this is a bit larger than forum banter.

    Colorado unit 40 3rd season

    Given that 2/3 of your posts are in these two threads, you can rest assured you'll be the only one in those spots come hunting season.

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    You are the only person here talking about retrofitting new bulbs into existing housings, which is almost always a recipe for trouble since the lens/reflector is designed for a certain output & pattern. We are talking about complete lighting systems from BD, the majority of which do not carry an...

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    Get the winch, it won't be used as much as lights but when you need it you will really need it (if you're serious about getting in/out of bad places or find yourself alone in the snow a lot). You could skip the winch bumper, go with a hidden winch mount, and BD makes complete kits with mounts...

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    I read his articles, and while they have some valid info for older style lights, he frankly doesn't know what cutting edge lighting is or what modern LEDs are capable of in reference to aftermarket lighting like we are referring to. Edit - I went and looked at his product page. You can judge...

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    Top of the line is SwitchPros, with sPod and maybe one other brand I'm blanking on right now being the closest competitors. At this point in my life, I am a one-and-done kind of guy so I go to brands that reduce the chance of me having to come back and re-do the work. SwitchPros has proven to be...

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    Winches and bumpers are always a good thing to have. You could also look at a setup like the Linkable XL Squadrons Kit (vehicle specific) or Standalone Kit. The biggest benefit of these over a bar is the ability to aim the light pods individually (can arc them for horiz adj, 45* vert adj) to...
