I think we should have a petition for in state residents to pay the same fee as out of state residents when they hunt on Federally owned lands.

Conrad read the law pertaining to that, settled by congress.
States manage the wildlife, not the feds.

Good luck cnelk, sounds like residents are getting fed up down there too.

I would pay more, but that argument comes up all the time and gets shot down as quickly as it comes up......because we aren't hunting "land"........we're hunting state-owned wildlife.

 

[87TT]

Don't live there or have any plans to hunt there but believe in the cause. Signed it.

 

[Hnthrdr]

Signed! And sending out to all the friends. Let’s get it going. This should have been done years ago!

It's not true, but I saw a CPW commissioner make that very same argument. That NRs are owed something because so much of the land being hunted is federal land.

Of course, the commissioners might really be servicing outfitter and tourism interests. But try to disguise those interests by talking about federal land.

 

[Bluumoon]

To the top. Would love to see way more than 500 signatures

 

[Overdrive]

Not signing.

 

[bow_dozer]

Not from CO and not hunting CO, but I strongly agree every state should give their residents this opportunity.

 

[11boo]

I’ll sign that.

You’re wasting your time. Some people just don’t get it. You can hike and camp in national forest all you want. If you want to hunt animals, OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE STATE, you have to play by the states rules. It’s a simple concept, but for some reason it’s just too difficult for people to understand.

DONE and SHARED!

I'm not a colorado resident but I believe OTC will be done with by 2025. Making every unit a draw unit wouldn't be a bad thing (my opinion) but I think NR should have to put the money up front for the tag there apply for at the time of the application. Unless this is already the case I'm not sure just my $.02.

 

[BugleMeTimber]

Signed. Residents 100% should have otc access to tags while nonresidents put on a quota draw system.

Except for Native Americans. It looks like the Herrera effect in Wyoming might be trickling down to Colorado.

For federal land, there needs to be a nation wide application process to access it, with strict limits on how many can access it at any given time. This way we all have a fair chance to utilize our federal lands.

I signed it and it would be better for everyone if they limited the number of hunters in most units. Residents should get the biggest hunt opportunity.

I grew up where licenses were bought over the counter, only select areas had a draw. Can see the benefits to both.

As a NR, I don't just jump in the car and drive 30 hrs to go elk hunt, show up and buy a tag. Looking at it thru my eyes, applying for a tag when planning the trip isn't a big stretch for NR hunters in this case.
