I believe another reasone he gave up was he had a bad leg and after years of doing it, it was getting to hard for him after all he was still in his 60's when he lost those dogs. The CDOW has had a problem with renegade outfitters guys charging without a outfitting license, the problem is they caught those guys but harassed others that were just up there to hunt with family or friends, nothing illegal about that. Things in Colorado have changed alot in the last 20 years that's for sure. No Trapping (except live traps) No spring bear hunts or use of dogs for bears. Just waiting for them to out law dogs for lion hunting too, or a limited draw for lions right now it's over the counter all you have to do is pass a lion identification test and you can buy a tag.
