    Colorado Constitutional Right to Hunt and Fish Citizens Initiative.

    I'm in. Tell me how I can help. Pretty sure many of those groups would support such an effort, even if their 501(c)(3) exemption puts some sideboards on how involved they can get in political processes. We did this in Montana in 2010 (?). Send me a PM and I'll tell you what I know from the...

    Youtube Scams

    Thanks for those who follow our YouTube channel. We get new scammers on our YouTube channel every week. First order of business each morning is to look for any new scammers, then delete them, and then report them to YouTube. Not sure the purpose of reporting to YouTube, as they do nothing...

    I've not. I spend a lot of time reading all of these different state regs and I hope I never miss one of them where I end up in that situation.

    Stop it. We don't need this anymore.

    There are four hunts from Season 1 of On Your Own Adventures that had private land. The other two hunts are a whitetail hunt in MT and a pronghorn hunt in NM. We started this OYOA with an emphasis on "accessible lands;" ands that we did not have to pay access to hunt. We did hunt primarily on...

    I didn't think that is what you were suggesting. I was responding to the quoted post that was not yours. I appreciate that you find our entertainment content interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not in this gig to entertain, other than what it does to help accomplish what we set out to do. If I...

    It's usually more than that. For you, tonight I'll make it four hours. Enjoy. RMEF volunteers at work. MT Wild Sheep volunteers at work and funded by conservation groups. Volunteers removing fence for antelope migration routes, coordinated and funded by a conservation group. That took...

    There's plenty of them for your viewing pleasure on YouTube. Here is one we did about a group of Nevada volunteers. A film about a group of amazing volunteers doing great work. The film cost $30,000 for us to produce part of which was thankfully offset by some sponsors. One of the best...

    Stop it. We don't need this anymore.

    We focus our efforts on hunters, whether new or existing. Are you suggesting we only focus on existing hunters who already are applying in western states to make sure nobody else applies beyond those who are currently in the game? A lot of folks who come to hunting realize what a great...

    You've made it clear on multiple occasions that "I've lost you." No problem with that. I appreciate it that you are willing to state so and your honesty about the fact. Yeah, the goal is more advocates. How would you want it measured; dollars toward conservation, membership in conservation...

    Stop it. We don't need this anymore.

    I doubt we'll ever see many reliable advocates for the cause of public land hunting among the hikers, bikers, campers or the groups that claim to represent them. Just no way to connect them to hunting from those activities and my experience is that they are usually on the opposite side of the...

    @Mtnboy , thanks for tagging me. It's likely I would have not even looked at this thread when I dropped in this evening. Lots of opinions and comments. I'm happy to answer any questions asked directly of me. As to the video I think might have been the origin of this thread, I have been doing...

    Not rude at all. The "tongue in cheek" answer to why I do what I do and how I do it is ....."Because I can." (full sarcasm intended) I'll try to explain. I preface by stating that the reasons I do this and the reason I operate how I do. My method of operation is not for altruistic reasons...

    In my mind. If someone feels otherwise for their interests and budget, I suspect they will do the opposite.

    Ok. We disagree. We all have different life experiences that can lead us to different perspectives to the same problem. I'm good with that. You asked me questions. I answered them as honest and forthright as possible. I hope you get a mailbox full of tags this year and you have a great season.

    To this point, it's a pretty easy explanation. Those states you mention are not a good value to any non-residents interested in western hunting, unless they have money to throw at every possibility. These states have all reduced non-resident tag percentages to such a low degree that I bailed on...

    With the character limit on Rokslide, I've quoted your last paragraph, as I think that summarizes your questions and critique. I will try my best to answer and I appreciate that you are honestly seeking an answer. A few pieces of background. I started applying in every western state in 1995...

    Obviously being stuck in Duluth, MN gives me too much time on my hands today. But, I wanted to add this. Just off my biweekly call with our social media firm. We went over what was posted on IG the last three weeks and the results of each. This information gives some credence to asking the...

    @Deadfall - Here's some more to your questions. So, to your first question - What, do you hope to accomplish? To make sure that public land hunting and hunters have a voice. To deter the trends that I felt were efforts against public land and public access. To get more hunters to volunteer or...

    Since I'm stuck indoors today, I'm happy to answer any of those questions. Over the years, on a forum I own, I've written many pieces about what follows, so I've summarized some of that here in hopes of answering your questions, however rhetorical the questions were intended to be. As to...
