[QUOTE="littletoes, post: 2848, member: 579"] It seems to me, that we are like most hunters, we agree with the important points. I like what you have to say about horses. I have grown up on horse ranches across the west. Not many can say that today, I guess. My dad "broke" horses for many people in many states, and I grew up helping him. He also managed several ranches. We did it all, from fencing to foaling. All the mechanican, to the plumbing. We put up hay, you name it. I always said the only thing that was more involved would be dairy farmin! 'Cause you don't have to milk 'em!-only, we did that too! Somtimes for certain reason's we had to milk a couple of mares. Funny now. I know you can't go back, but I miss it sometimes. I say a poor mans horse because a vet bill can kill you. Then again with fencing, ferrier, worming, a barn/paddock, and all the other stuff only someone who has raised horses could think of. Just the cost of a good horse is a few thousand. Enough with defence, read a study that said a 2-wheeled motorbike riding lightly still does three times the trail damage of a horse. Tell this to anyone who rides a bike, and boy do they get defensive. And remember, I said lightly, and on the trail. I quit hunting on certain lands due to the fact that wherever I went, there were 4-wheeler tracks. The noise and smell also ruin the sence of being in the wild. Give me the horse's or just my feet! I say, if you get to get out with your stock, you've already won. I also think Colorado is very fair on how it handles out of state licenses. Save your money. I don't think there is anything Wa. has to offer that you can't find better in your home state. Maybe bears. We don't have the product. Thats it in a nutshell.
