I received an e-mail that the Brochure is out for the walk in properties. There will also be a late crop atlas walk in as well coming out later. Good luck with the Opener and as always we get the cool rainy days right before Dove season. Looks to be in the 70's and low 80's from tomorrw and all week next week. Blue's should be good. Friends have been seeing quite a few during big game scouting.:thumbsup:
 
Chad,
Thanks for the heads up....especially the info on the blues...I think my son and I will head out after opening day (middle of next week)...the family and I are going to the state fair on Monday, Labor day....plus it is always to damn crowded on opening day and the weekends...

Pretty amazing how much less WIA lands there are now compared to the last two years. Sucks compared to how much Kansas has enrolled.
 
I picked up an atlas and yea I noticed there seems to be a lot less walk in acreage. Anyone know how the acreage enrolled this year compares to the last couple years? And why the decrease?

Thanks
 
Talked to a game warden when he stopped by work, he said that the state has cut back on how much they pay landowners. So I would expect to see less land enrolled until something changes.

small game

Colorado has never been anything other than an elk or deer state, small game has never mattered. in fact there is some doubt that anything matters much with them, they have changed from trying to manage game to managing people and to that effect they have become policemen and not conservation officers. our small game is what it is cause the money goes to administration overhead,fish and big game. in managing that look how they blew the cronic wasting disease experiments, the state of the mule deer herd, the greenback, the list just goes on. it is a wonder they ever tried to get a walk in map going on the eastern plains. they make no effort to survey for pheasants, quail, dove or much of anything. that's our Colorado. while I am complaining, there is still about 230,000 acres that is public property in this state that you can't get too cause of our stupid trespass laws, state school land of which there are thousands of acres are for private use and the fish and game does nothing about any of this. time for a brew

cheers
 
Bring Back the Stamp!!!!

If program is to improve they need to bring the WIA fee. Small price to pay to access thousands of acres. Ever CPW official I have spoken with since it was removed has said it affected hunter recruitment by having the fee. Society continues to march on with the something for nothing philosophy...Ugh! Program will continue to degrade if funding from a new source is not had. Farmers laugh at $2 per acre to let every one and their brother use their land for 1/4 of the year. Sad.
