Went out for the first time this season in Haxtun area...Surprised to see the amount of hunters out on Monday..Miserable day with snow and high winds, big snow drifts across roads..Saw even more hunters on tuesday. Only thing close enough to shoot were hens. Did see roosters but couldn't get...

I used to see pheasants regularly near 120th and Lowell..Now I see housing developments. Now I have to drive many miles to hunt pheasants and I will someday tell my grandkids of these good old days. Yesterday the Black Rhino was officially listed as extinct. If even half the money that is...

To me this is not really an issue of city people vs country folk. It is about ignorant and /or stupid people. I personally have given up going on opening weekend. This year I went fishing instead. Guess where there were more ignorant/stupid people. Started around 630am. Two guys were there...

I made the same early conclusion last year and all the pivot corners and other WIA's showed up in the late access..

My brother and I were also out over this past weekend. Windy conditions, dry weather and more hunters than usual made for tough conditions. Very happy to see a small bit of snow on the ground sunday. Managed three with other chances. All on WIA. Didn't see any huge flushes as earlier. We...

If you go to website cotrip.org they have cameras throughout the state showing current travel conditions. Might be useful.

I feel better when looking at the late season WIA. I do see less pivot corners but not a lot less. I still do not really like the idea of no fee for walkin access. I understand the concept of trying to introduce new hunters to the sport. It truly needs to be true hunters. I have seen it...

I agree that good pheasant habitat is a treasure. It is also true of any good hunting or fishing. Unfortunately good hunting or fishing can bring out the worst in locals or visitors. Trespassing or littering doesn't seem to matter. The result of getting outweighs the process of hunting or...

The majority of my hunts last year were more spur of the moment trips by myself so taking some tome to review the current WIA maps I find it very disturbing to see the direction of the WIA program. As a single hunter I relied on many of the smaller areas that I was capable of handling alone...

I was lucky enough to get out today. Did my usual go solo trip. Only saw five other hunters all day which was nice. Saw a lot of birds. Two different places had groups of thirty or more birds take off. I have never seen flushes like this in Colorado. Very skiddish. Birds flushing a bit...

Also in the Haxtun area today Today was my first trip out this year. I too was hunting by myself. I only did WIA. Chased some hens around Fleming. Saw a few distant roosters. Headed south towards Yuma. Had three rooster cross the road from one WIA to another. Walked and walked. Never got...

Alos quietly fustrated I am new to this forum. I have not posted yet except for my intro, however I do try to see what is going on. I will be making my first trip on wednesday. Hearing about fools like these irratates me. That's another reason I start so late in the season. I hope this was...

Just want to introduce myself. I also live in the Westminster area. I usually don't start hunting til the bad weather comes. Don't really like the crowds and the typical lined up tin soldiers racing thru fields. Sorry I don't have a dog. Thats a job my brother and I switch from field to...
