    Petition - OTC for Colorado Residents

    Would you spend a handful of points on a unit that is worth zero? Frugal people or families on a budget generally don't overspend. Im no recruitment expert, but I do know the harder it gets to get a license, the easier it becomes to not participate or quit. As stated, they were playing by the...

    Petition - OTC for Colorado Residents

    Good Grief, I am pissing a good pissing match. No wonder I don't visit here often. The federal land argument, the tourism argument. If I only had nickel for every time I heard those I could buy a hunting ranch. One person says 22 billion in tourism dollars, then just why is the median income in...

    CO hunter numbers.

    I bet elk alone will generate 50 mill for cpw this year. Personally I think it is important to recruit and retain resident hunters, they vote. They need an affordable license. Commissioner McDaniel and others have stated on the record they would like to go totally limited for all methods and...

    CO hunter numbers.

    Cody - Sounds like your CORA request was not very specific, and does not drill into where the true issue is or where it should be resolved. Your numbers suggest 90,000 archery licenses sold, that is wrong. The best numbers are attached. Limited licenses are 65/35 based on first choice demand...

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    Here is a follow up CBA survey on BGSS. Total BS that we want to "severely limit" anyone. An apology would be nice. Click here:

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    It would be expensive, we can't get more than 2,000 to buy family memberships to the CBA. 35 measly bucks a pop, that is $70,000. We have a reserve fund, I expect the plan is to spend it in defense of the wolf ballot. I would guess you would need 500k-million to run a ballot and advertising...

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    Another comment on this whole thing. If you look at our last appendix, the last 5 years NR archery participation growth in OTC hunting areas = 16%. Resident growth, same period = 1.6% How should we fix growth, and crowding? duh? 10X growth in NR's. The importance of resident hunters is in...

    CO Proposed Changes for 2020

    How is asking for a reasonable cap on NR's "severely limiting"? We don't have 50,000 archery elk hunters. We have 35,000 OTC hunters. That has grown from 24,000 TWENTY YEARS AGO. We have 6525 limited elk licenses. That is 41,525 archery elk bowhunters. We do sell B list cow tags, unless you can...

    2020-24 season structure options

    Here is our position and take on BGSS. This is totally based on the results of our member survey. Really weird to to be told it is a personal agenda. I am here to represent dues paying members, whether I agree with them or not. If you need a copy if our BGSS survey results let me know. We...

    2020-24 season structure options

    I see guys say we need all this change for the elk herd. CPW says the elk herd is 287,000 animals. Of 42 herds, 21 are over objective, 5 are below and the rest are at objective. Huh, we are in real trouble. You got better data? If it goes limited, guys with few preference points will be the...

    CPW Sportsmans Roundtable 3/20 6:30pm 6060 Broadway Denver CO

    BIG NEWS: The wildlife commission recently voted to shelve the Habitat Stamp RFP process for 2017. This program took about 6.6 million dollars ANNUALLY and coupled it with GOCO funds to preserve and protect wildlife habitat, as well as create public access through the use of easements. It is a...
