I agree with you 100%. This part of the plan will not have the intended effect.- Mountain Man

Red Sea Liveaboard Scuba Diving "Semi-Live" (Pic Heavy):
Great video! That sea turtle was the highlight for me. That was super cool. I also liked the hundreds of small bright orange fish.- Mountain Man

As someone mentioned earlier, once you punch your tag you punch your tag. Until method of take is restricted to a single choice, it doesn’t matter if someone shoots their bull with a bow, muzzleloader, or rifle, it is still just one bull.- Mountain Man

Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday
You could still go OTC in Colorado for either archery or 2nd/3rd rifle seasons if you really wanted to hunt elk. Might be able to find an outfitter for a drop camp to get a more unique experience.- Mountain Man

How is a flintlock or caplock muzzleloader advanced technology that will exploit elk herds? It was advanced technology in the 1700s-1850s, not so much in 2024. I get that you are protecting your rice bowl of rifle hunting season so you have animosity towards muzzleloader hunters. I think it is...- Mountain Man

Well then, how about October 20th to 30th? That strips away your argument that bulls will be in the rut. Why shouldn’t muzzleloaders have an opportunity before rifle hunters? The December dates are quite odd. I admit that I don’t know the history of why that came to be, but it is very strange...- Mountain Man

Sounds like you and me are of like minds. How about October 5-15th then to move further away from the rut? How much more impactful are traditional muzzleloaders over archery anymore anyways?- Mountain Man

I agree that this overlap would cause hunter concentration for people like me with limited vacation time. That said, it wouldn’t be during the rut, so less bucks should be killed, right? I also think that you would have others avoid this week if their schedules can accommodate. People who would...- Mountain Man

Fair enough. What I’m getting at though is that there will need to be legislative changes as part of this effort. Why not roll in this proposed change to the muzzleloader season (October 1-10) into that same effort? Is it too much to layer on with everything else at one time? To me, this seems...- Mountain Man

When you are making changes to programs it is better to alter one variable at a time, especially if it is a significant change. Moving mule deer hunting away from the rut is a significant change, and I fully support that. How do you know that the mule deer population would continue to decline...- Mountain Man
