Especially in Colorado. I miss them having moved from Montana many years ago. Waiting for my T-shirt to come in.

Don't give them any more ideas.

But it would be nice to have something to deal with the granola heads
 
And don’t forget the bison. Colorado was once home to hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of bison on the plains. They should reintroduce thousands of them in the National Forests here. One could hunt wapiti and bison during the same seasons. Of course you would need more horses or a bigger game cart for bison. I’ll bet a buffalo hind quarter would be a real bitch hauling out on a freighter pack. LOL

I like it ! Less people more bears, more game animals :)
 
Its been said before, but a campaign to reintroduce grizzlies to peri-urban California would put the greenies in a total spin out. So order your Tee shirt but have the design altered to include the California state flag :P Devil:
More mountain lions might be great idea also. Might cut the numbers of tree huggers.
Just a thought, I could be wrong...

We have enough predators in Oregon eating our Game, we don't need Grizzlies!!!! But if they do introduce them back into Portland, Salem, Corvallis, & Eugene

Too many mountain lions in CA already and cannot be hunted. They have depleted the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep horribly.
 
You need grizzlies to eat the mountain lions!
Too many people in Colorado so it will never happen. We have more people than WY, MT and ID combined.
 
On a serious note if they are already protected except for regulated hunting are the numbers increasing naturally?

Will they expand their territory?

Is there any breeding programs that reintroduce them to the wild?

Don’t be such a spoil sport Scott. You could guide for grizz without having to go all the way to Alaska, aaaand they might eat the Venezuelan gang members in Aurora if you treat them to the occasional hippie. ;)
 
This should work out well...

No more backpackers in Colorado!

Maybe a few remaining cowboys will be around...


Not likely, but don't dash the pipedream.

That would be great but a federal judge appointed by Clinton in MT has already blocked the first grizzly season in WY several years ago. In that WY draw, my cousin was #12 and might have gotten a grizzly. Unfortunately, I don’t think any of us would live long enough to see grizzly hunting in Colorado if grizzlies were introduced. The antis fight and fight to keep hunting closed.

Back in the 1990’s I had the privilege of participating in a Bighorn relocation project where we released 27 Sierra Nevada Bighorns back into Yosemite National Park, where Bighorns had disappeared from more than 100 years earlier.

It was a big project where we had to purchase the grazing rights on winter range adjacent to the park and get all the domestic sheep removed so that pneumonia wouldn’t be transmitted to the Bighorns and wipe them out. We got all that done and did the capture the following March on winter grounds east of Kings Canyon National Park. We caught a total of 34 Bighorns and it was a big deal because of the historical significance for Yosemite. All 3 major networks and CNN had coverage of our project on the evening news.

We released 7 collared sheep south of the park, where we hoped they’d integrate with a small population Fish & Game didn’t know much about and the collars would allow them to study that small population of sheep. We released the other 27 sheep up Lee Vining Canyon at the eastern boundary of Yosemite. It was great watching those ewes, lambs and rams run from the trailers into freedom where there had been no sheep for so long.

I got a call from the biologist in charge of the project about 3-4 weeks after we’d released the sheep. He informed me that houndsmen associated with Animal Damage Control had been dispatched to remove mountain lions from the area as 8 or 9 of the sheep we’d released had already been killed by lions. In the end, we lost most of those sheep to depredations, mostly by lions.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John buzzardhilllabs@hotmail.com

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
