The concern I've had all along if wildlife management is handed over to the CPW is who is responsible for making decisions. Wyo is a prime example where their task force was a total joke and failure. When science-based decisions that impact hunters and wildlife are made by only a handful of...
I haven't heard of any testing or restrictions for wild game meat processors in Colorado. I would think the USDA would have restrictions for processors if it was a dire concern.
Hunters have been eating meat from CWD positive deer in Colorado for 40 to 50 years. Few deer hunters here in Colo...
Learn from Colorado’s 50 years of mistakes!
Say no to culling projects
Say no to Sept rut rifle elk hunts
Oops, did I already say it, say no to culling projects
Say no to killing of old age class bucks and bulls
One more time, say no to culling projects
The sky is falling down!
Every elk with CWD is going to die and will die within a year of contracting the disease. Bulls have a 1% higher prevalence rate than cows so we need to kill every old age class bull even though older bulls carry resistant alleles and the very best genes in the herd...
I'm in the same boat trying to figure out vehicle strategies for retirement. I plan on doing a bunch of long road trips and would likely something that gets better gas mileage than my Tundra and that I have enough room to sleep in the back. I tend to bring a lot of equipment so the more room...
If business owners stand up and don’t allow them to collect signatures at major public sites like grocery stores, Walmart, etc they may not be able to collect enough signatures?
Here is an interesting article from Arizona back in 2018. The cat people couldn’t get enough signatures to get their agenda on a ballot! I think there were also some ballot measure restrictions that were also pitfalls in their failure!
If the cats people can’t get enough signatures from the...
Sounds like someone regrets what they asked for in their 127 proposition? As someone else mentioned, it's apparent what they will be targeting the next time around. Hopefully the CPW figure out a strategy to prevent any more ballet box wildlife propositions.
It’s easy to look at negatives but also important to consider all of the positives to learn how to battle the antis.
You may not be giving some of the donators credit for defeating 127! The RMEF, Bighorn Sheep Society, Muledeer Foundation, and individual sportsman and hunters that donated to...
Who finances fish and wildlife management in Colorado? It definitely isn’t those that financially supported 127. How much $ have the CATS and other activists invested in Colorado wildlife conservation? Their primary concern is eliminating trophy hunting. Most of the big financial supporters...
Here is an interesting article. It mentions that 23 states currently have right to hunt and fish amendments. The CATS organization may have actually cut their own throats with what they did in Colorado this year! Other states have closely watched what happened in Colorado and will likely...
It was a wise choice in advertising to point out to the often confused and un-educated public that ecological and wildlife decisions should be made by CPW experts that have years of education, experience, and knowledge rather than leaving these decision up to public vote.
Looking county by...
Speaking of big $, I wonder how much they paid Tom Pool and Dan Ashe to run their TV ads for them? It would be interesting to know if this info is public knowledge.
Here is an interesting article by the CPW that answers several questions in regard to cats and cat hunting in Colorado.
