After thinking more about this topic, I got curious and did some research. A good friend of mine works in Law Enforcement for the US Forest Service, actually deals with a lot of hunters and DoW Officers during hunting season. He happened to call today so I asked him about this. A DoW Officer...

Not sure why you're receiving flak for posting this question, I'd be as concerned or 'wierded' out by the whole situation as well. I actually would have been pretty livid and told her "No." If you're on private property or one of those pay-n-play bird clubs where no licenses are required, what...

Welcome to CO deeryd. Sadly, finding trash in the fields and reading the "trash rants" in here is about 20 times more common than taking a shot at a pheasant in CO. But, we spread the word, pick it up and lead by example when we take others to the field with us. Pheasant hunting is getting...

Thanks 7ex. I've tried this and I've even wrapped CoFlex around the boots and up the leg a bit. I think its the boots, RuffWear has a great idea but they just don't work, bummer because they are expensive. You have to crank those straps down pretty tight to get them to stay on, but then my...

I'm a bit hesitant to post again, but I'll give you good guys another report from this last weekend because it will probably be my last as I don't think we'll head out again in CO this season. Forgive me as I was going to take pictures of the WIA fields but forgot. We picked up an embarassing...

So you're one of the guys that will drive through a standing corn field, up to a combine and ask permission to hunt? Wow. Many people have different perceptions on correct ways to ask permission, if you think disturbing harvesting operations and bringing a farmer to a halt is a good idea, have...

1. Pardon me for my loose use of words, you are correct in the land being leased, obviously. Either way, landowners are "giving, donating, leasing, whatever" their least valuable parcels and that was the point I was trying to make. I would honestly say we covered 95% of the WIA fields in Kit...

LOVE the retort HeavyC, maybe we could educate each other on this topic since we obviously have different perspectives. My questions to you: 1) I don't know what you've seen, but my recent road trip to the Colorado pheasant hot-spots covering most of the WIA parcels proved to me that there is...

Hmm, are you downloading the entire Walk In Atlas or just the individual pages/counties? They are on the bottom of the Walk In Atlas Program page. http://wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/SmallGame/WalkInAccess/Pages/WalkInAccessProgram.aspx

You couldn't have said it any better. If they start doing this, I won't hunt or support pheasants in CO any more, I'll make a couple trips elsewhere. What a lazy, thoughtless and ludicrous so-called solution. Spend the asinine amount of money you're about to blow on this mindless sh*t on...

No, but I've been using a new method while I'm out driving county roads with no cell service and I love it. Colorado DOW is now embedding GPS coordinates into their atlas and WIA maps. Great idea here. I've only tried their Small Game Late Cropland WIA maps so far, but I think they're doing it...

Thanks Greg. She's actually a Catahoula, I get that a lot so no worries. If you saw her build and the rest of her body you could see the difference between her and a lab. But, you're right, I do love labs, my extended family has had 23 different labs since I was born, nothing compares to a...

Just got home to Denver this afternoon from a 9-day road trip through the pheasant hot-spots in Colorado - Burlington, Yuma, Holyoke - trip was decent but tough-going as expected. I'm walking through my house like I just finished an ironman with a heifer strapped to my back. You should see our...
