Amen

 

[Wyo_hntr]

As they should.

 

[Maxhunter]

Totally agree!

 

[Mcribs]

And now figure out rifle OTC and we’re getting somewhere!

 

[Bowhunter50]

Totally agree. I sent an email to them when the proposals first came out and one of my bullet points was supporting OTC for residents. This is coming from a non resident.

Good for them colorado residents should have otc opportunities.

the one thing they seam to be missing is limit nr archer will increase nr rifle they need to limit every nr tag or rifle season will be a mess in 2 years and they will be back talking about it again

 

[MallardSX2]

This is just a ploy from residents to keep building points while hunting. Thats all this is.

 

[GodSpeed1]

As they should.

Right

Resident here, and this will be my 54th year of bowhunting big game in CO. I remember how it was before the internet, YouTube, and spot-burning services like Huntin' Fool and others made it so easy to hunt Colorado. Running into a NR camp was sort of a novelty, and nobody thought about PPs. Trailheads had a couple trucks parked there, almost all with CO plates. Those days are gone, and looks like there may be a new game to play now. Figure it out.

Colorado will still offer the MOST generous NR elk hunting opportunity in the country. Anyone can move here if they want resident hunting opportunities. Plenty of jobs. Or you can choose to wait years and years and spend a lot more money to hunt any of the other western states.

Why aren't the complainers coming down hard on WY, for instance?. Only 16% of tags go to NRs, and takes multiple PPs to even draw the $2000 special. And that's still a good opportunity compared to AZ, NM, etc..

WY NR tag allocation is a dead horse that’s been beaten so often, it’s now fertilizer. CO is the fresh horse for the mob.

Co Rez's will cry about anything. Afraid some guy from PA or WI is gonna shoot an elk.

Thats not what I’m afraid of at all.

It’s a Texan shooting an elk.

Be careful what you wish for

Lol you can't be serious? Wyoming holds the top spot for complaints from NR hunters.
