I grew up in CO and have shot 25 elk. I don't need one bad enough to play the game they want me to play. They have made it cost more than it is worth to me. It sounds strange but I can shoot elk here in TX for less than it costs me to drive to my native CO to shoot one. I can get mulies, whitetails and pronghorn here. I no longer have any desire to shoot a moose and I have already taken mountain goat, bear and bighorn in CO. Since CO decided to become an eastern county of CA they no longer have anything I need. I am seriously thinking about selling my property there and just washing my hands of the whole place.
