Still hunt them. I hunt elk in Colorado and it is usually very difficult. You can just look at Colorado's DOW website and see the success rates, which are really low. Southwestern Colorado is definitely the place to go though. I am thinking about hunting one of those units down there. Good Luck.

I think that for fish, a beer batter makes them taste great. it is probably not the healthiest of choices but it sure does taste good. For deer, I cut up the meat and marinade them in a Paul Newman terriyaki marinade. It tastes great. I have friends who are very against eating mule deer due to the sage brush taste, but they even found the meat enjoyable. The marinade makes the meat more tender as well.

This just makes me more and more excited for summer time when I can get out and do some more fishing.

I have heard of this, and think that it is appalling! How ruthless does one have to be to do this? I think that they should receive jail time and be fined. To accompany these punishments, they should have their snowmobiles confiscated and all hunting/fishing rights taken away. Unfortunately this type of act always has a negative effect for both wildlife and hunters alike. It is really disappointing that one would do this to an animal.
