    Colorado Wolf survey

    CPW has stated that they do not have the time to conduct one before the mandated deadline. The reintro sites are therefore all on private land, specifically so that they don’t have to do a federal EIS. Quite the loophole really

    CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs

    Thanks. I was genuinely curious as to what your justification is for using the original dates, given the realities of point creep. It seems quite obvious that the intent of the rule was always that any unit needing 6+ points to be of a different distribution standard. But you are right, that is...

    CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs

    Serious question for you Mallard: Do you feel that they should continue using the statistics from 2007-2009 in perpetuity? If so, what is your justification for doing so?

    Seems to be a good year on CO public land

    There is not… I’ll give a tip to all of those that do drag up this thread, now or in the future and want to ask how it is… I counted 54 vehicles at and spilling out of one particular trailhead up there (a formerly comparatively quiet one I might add). Only about 5 of which were obvious...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    Yes, many people have died of malnutrition in the past. The statement you made though was about baby formula. To a baby of less than 4-6 months, food is either milk or formula. There just isnt any other way around that. So yes, formula was hugely important to the reduction in infant...

    How did ancient / native people not get botulism from smoking?

    Not to get off topic here but yes, malnourishment and disease directly attributable to it were a big part of infant mortality rates pre-20th century

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    You’ve missed my point. I think I’ve made myself clear though, so I’ll leave it here for others to read.

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    I’m talking about actual neighbors. Community members. I’m not sure what you are talking about regarding hunting for society, and I think most everyone knows that hunting is a privilege. So I will just circle back to my original point. A “native” resident preference draw is wrong. Two people...

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    Plan for your kids future but sorry, you’re out of luck for your own? Oh hey kids it would be best if you didn’t ever go pursue the best opportunities in life, let’s just hope it works out here because I got this all set up for you to hunt moose later on. It’s just ridiculous. And really, I’m...

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    No, because you are advocating that people should be treated as second-class citizens. It is the right of every US citizen to take up residence in any part of the country they so desire. That is part of the foundation of the United States. Yes, I was born and reside in a western state. I also...

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    Of all the arguing on here about federal this or state that, who has a right to what and why. Personal choices on where to live and at what cost and on and on. Everyone throwing in on what is or isn’t “American”, this is by far the least “American” idea I have seen yet.

    CWD positive in the Flat Tops

    Yes it does make sense. You are charging people to process game. Period. Profiting or otherwise is a matter of your perspective. Money is changing hands for a service in which the ‘customer’ is not otherwise taking part. Congrats on your side job as a processor! I really don’t care about that...

    CWD positive in the Flat Tops

    What? I’m more confused now. You have friends and/or friends of friends routinely bringing you rotten meat and abandoning it? And you still associate with these people? Besides that, you already referred to them as customers and referenced that it would be cheaper for them to leave some in the...

    At any rate, you are right about one thing. It’s up to each of us.

    So then it sounds like you are in fact a processor yourself. Who is then actively denigrating those who use processors??

    CWD positive in the Flat Tops

    If the game animal was standing in a pen, yes. You are glossing over the time, effort, and sacrifice that goes into hunting wild game over buying a domestic animal. To imply that those who choose to use a processing service might as well be paying someone to shoot or are somehow only in it for...

    Book about WildFires recommendation

    Again, more on fire fighting than straight up fire science, but I would recommend Fire on the Mountain and Smokejumper.
