Colorado is thinking of dropping the % to 63% to 37%. Sure its national forest that most people hunt in Colorado. But go to texas and try to hunt public land or Kansas. Well in Kansas you won't even draw a buck tag in most areas, it is all doe draw in most areas. You want a buck tag you get to buy it from the land owner. The game in Colorado is regulated by the state. Not saying they are doing a great job of it but you can still today buy an over the counter bull tag.

Non-residents used to demand alot of tags. Now alot of them have either moved to Colorado or have a cabin here and are claiming residency and they buy resident tags and aren't residents. Even though my client income is from non-residents the residents that live in their state should have first option of hunting where they live first. You want a place to always hunt elk anytime you want during a rifle season keep Colorado a open state and fight for it.

What would happen if the goverment controlled state allotment for hunting. Tags would be outrageous and the draw system would be a nightmare. I still say we are better off with the individual state draws.
