Every person who has or ever will hunt Colorado needs to read this. Ballot initiative 91 is a clear and present danger to the future of hunting in Colorado. Consider donating to CRWM at the link posted and if you live in Colorado talk to every fellow resident you can.
Seems like this might be more in the wheelhouse of TRCP. They appear to be pretty on top of this kind of stuff. I got a “call to action” email recently from them regarding BLM land use and was happy to oblige. I asked our state rep about the articles posted by the OP.

I completely agree with your sentiment that Colorado hunters need to get active and they can beat this initiative to protect the future of hunting in Colorado. We can definitely use support from other hunters nationwide also. However, I would discourage you from using the left vs. right...
Center for Biological Diversity and Washington Wildlife First are flexing their political muscle. They have the same leverage in Colorado with Governor Polis and at least two alumni on the CPW Commission. Former Washington Wildlife First Executive Director Sam Bruegger is now the lead proponent...
This is a very accurate description of the situation. The commission will not allow any management of wolves. They removed that portion of the plan despite the recommendation from the working group. They spend most of the commission meetings congratulating each other on doing such a great job...
Problems like potential hunting bans, Prop #91 and #101. Direct threats to the future of hunting in the state of Colorado.

Thanks for calling this out. NM residents and non-residents who care about hunting in NM should keep an eye on this. Please update as this continues through the legislative process. I would be interested to hear the opinion of some of the hunting/wildlife conservation orgs in NM. They may have a...
It is incredibly clear to me the total double standard in regard to energy development. According to all the political leaders in Denver/Boulder, oil and gas is the great evil and will completely destroy all habitats and landscapes, yet solar and wind, so called “green, renewable” energy has...
I want the man bun Subaru drivers to be hunters too. And then I want them to vote in favor of hunting. And then tell their man bun Subaru driver friends how great hunting is and they will vote in favor of hunting too. And then some of them might start donating and volunteering with hunting...
Andy Holland’s presentation yesterday was excellent. His responses to the Commissioner’s queries couldn’t have been better. As always, thoroughly impressed by the expertise and professionalism of the CPW staff.
I would like to interrupt this wonderful discussion about fundraising for hunting organizations to remind folks that Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Conservation could use your support. Hunting in Colorado is in a perilous situation with at least two anti-hunting ballot initiatives pending...
x1000 Share it with every single hunter, angler, outdoor enthusiast you know. Every red cent of donations I make this year will be to CRWM. Sorry RMEF, MDF, TRCP, RMBS, BHA, WSF, local animal shelter, homeless shelter, etc. Might as well take me off your fundraising email distro for a while. The...
I have heard Director Davis speak on at least one occasion about moving the department toward a "Mutualism" approach. I think hunters and anglers need to openly confront him about this statement during Commission meetings. "Mutualism" is essentially beginning the practice of removing hunting and...
This is interesting. As a free market capitalist (until the Colorado General Assembly bans capitalists), I generally support willing seller/willing buyer. Will resident BC hunters still be able to hunt this property? Would the commercial hunting rights only apply to non-residents? For American...
I went back and watched this commission meeting, some really troubling dialogue. Commissioner Tutchton continues to make false or misleading statements (hunters don't eat bears and lions, game revenue doesn't support non-game species, no science to support mountain lion hunting) and attempts to...
I also think that Colorado hunters have a chance of defeating this at the ballot and buying a temporary reprieve from the onslaught of anti-hunting ballot initiatives. I think we need more exposure pushing back on these initiatives, that will take concerned hunters making donations to CRWM (Ad...
Nope. I thought at some point the CO Rep party would realize how much damage she is doing and “primary” her. But I was wrong about that. She has done more for CO Dem fundraising than any lobbyist or strategist in history.
I think this is really important for Colorado hunters specifically, we have to put our differences aside and build a unified front. Hunting in Colorado is being attacked from every conceivable angle— Governor, legislature, CPW commission, and an onslaught of ballot initiatives. I’m not much of...
