You realize the wolf reintroduction was a ballot measure, right? And that only three counties in the state approved it, right?
Were you at the CPW round table meetings, the working groups, or any of the multiple discussions that were held on the matter? I was, a long with a lot of hunters and western CO residents. Damn near no one was happy with how that played out, and we're still fighting on the fronts we can.
Is your POV really that CO hunters are driving all this change in tags because they are selfish, while also not having a voice in state decisions (but it's a voice louder than NR, who pay more and should be listened to more), and we're in need of the NR hunters to come buy tags and speak up to save CO hunting (only on the years they can draw tags, otherwise f***-em)?
@MallardSX2 regarding you wanting the data kept the same so you don't lose your 'investment', how far back should we go with that? Only to the year before you started buying points, or do we just go back to day 1 of Colorado Department of Wildlife (before it was CPW) and use the regs that were in place then? I'm assuming you reached out to your investment manager and mentioned to him that Q2 2007 was the last year of good data, and all decisions should be based around that for 2023. I mean, the market was red hot in 2007, nothing bad could've happened or changed in the intervening years, right?
