Funny, growing up in Moffat County, sometimes working as a "guide" when a teenager, non-residents used to be blamed for all kinds of bad-doings that were generally traced back to CO residents, mostly from east of the divide. Now I live in little Rio Blanco County, which produces around 20% of the state elk harvest from a fairly small area. Don't see many slob hunters
without CO plates, and a large proportion of those aren't east-slope people, anymore. Maybe it's most abused by those who live close enough to feel a right to it, but not close enough to feel responsible?
