Do a search on "CDOW big game damage program" as the CDOW can help with payments for damage caused by big game for every thing from devoured hay, to destroyed fences, to in home damage caused by bears, to lifestock depredation. The CDOW will even help with cost to try to prevent further damage such as fenceing costs, etc.

Obviously you have never taken part in the program, and have no idea of how it is structured. I in fact believe that it is one of the landowners responsibilities to maintain HEALTHY, prudent numbers of game. I do not feel that damages that run well into the 5 figure range is my responsibility.

To newracer, if you wish to claim ownership, fine, then shut up and claim responsibility as well........???? Hmm not so willing are you?

To everyone else. People such as newracer are the reason you are losing hunting areas. He can badmouth landowners all he wishes, and results will be more pronounced,

During my first response, I was actually feeling bad about our response to hunting. After reading more from newracer, I am more resolved to keep our property closed to hunters unless the mood of people changes. We can't change that, it will have to come from within the hunting community.

Chillax brah. It's not my fault you spent all your coin on some dirt and a fence.

Its good to know you will never be wanting to hunt or shoot on any place other than public access. GL

i am guessing that you are the type to leave all of your crap on someone else's "dirt" ?????

Not pounding my chest at all. I am just really disappointed that so many feel it is acceptable to disregard someone else's rights while only thinking of their own. No smiley on the original post, that bothered me. Since post count apparently equates to worthiness, I can live with that.

I would suggest that the next time people are denied access, they might ask. I still wonder why many feel disrespect should warrant the opportunity to hunt or shoot on someone else's land? Guess I always will.
You might also understand if you had helped me clean up all of the junk thrown out by a person caught poaching a deer, while his vehicle was parked less than 10' from a Hunting by Permission Only sign????? These things happen all too often, and I get tired of it.

Have a good day. I'm done

You should spend more time reading before you post. The first post was a direct quote from an ad the original poster found on Craig's List. Did you not see that the original poster disagreed with the ad he posted about?

By the way, I have my own "dirt" to shoot on and clean up; I don't need yours.

I live in the city and buy my fair share of Starbucks and dildos. I feel that if you own the land you should have free reign to do what you want on that land. Including killing any animals on your property that you find to be either a problem or just plain tasty.

You beat me to the punch. The fact that you have to ask and pay, and more important only harvest a couple days a year is completely silly. How many times are we gonna talk about dildos? dildos, dildos, dildos, dildos. I my self would spend a little extra for something that takes batteries.

I can't draw an elk tag for the area that I live in but my son in law gets an out of state tag, whats the deal?

Then who owns the antelope?

The people own the antelope. And the deer and every other non domestic animal. That is the point behind the landowner tag. The animals belong to the people so the tags for the landowner are a way for them to recoup lost profits from loss of feed for their cows and loss of crops. If a landowner allows no hunting what so ever on their property they cannot apply for wildlife damage reimbursement. I agree with the concept behind landowner tags but the tags are not being used as they are meant. I don't know about eastern Colorado, but over the hill the tags are being sold at preimium prices , then the buyer is told he can't hunt the property for which the tag was issued. For those who don't know, a landowner tag is good for the property it was issued and any public land in that same unit. Tag brokers are selling these tags at a premium then not allowing the ranch property to be hunted. I don't care if a guy wants to charge $5000 for a tag, but I'm buying the right to hunt the ranch, not go combat hunting with everyone else.

It makes me mad you have to own 160 acres to get LO tags, and the Outfitters lately think all of CO is their private reserve. I'm tired of putting up signs, tired of people telling me "I didn't know it was private property". Fuck people in general. Wish I could by land mines.

we feed a herd of antalope on our property (1 bull 4 girls) i cant tell you the amount of dumb ass hunters who have climbed my LOCKED gate and literally knocked no trasspassing signs over thinking somehow i wouldnt mind.....last year i started greeting them with the AR and chest rig on....oddly enough we havnt seen ANY on our property this year

According to the Hunter's Education Course, big game species in Colorado are owned by the people of Colorado.

It must be different in some other states, as I have a friend in a Southern state who owns property where he feeds and cares for a large herd of deer. He seems to be able to cull as many as he wants each year, but is careful to assure the overall health of the herd - BUT - he manages all that himself, not the state.

What they call "hunting" down south is called "baiting" up north and is banned. As it should be. Sitting in a blind 50 yards from a corn fedder is not hunting.
