The truth is showing its shiny face! Does this group truly care about wildlife or is this an anti-hunting debate? It looks like they are shooting themselves in the foot losing the votes from the members of all of those organizations.
The true colors are coming out...
I'm not sure if any of you looked at the link attached in the Boulder Weekly newsletter article that Oak posted above? I found it interesting that there are both direct and indirect effects on bighorn sheep lamb survival. It is an extremely detailed journal publication with numerous references...
One interesting thing brought up in the video in post #158 above is that currently the cpw offers damage claims for livestock loss due to lions since lions are currently game species. If 127 passes, lions will no longer be considered game animals in Colo so rancher’s that loose livestock to...
I know, you are getting sick of my posts! Here is one of the best videos that I've seen about proposition 127. If you have any relatives or buddies that are on the fence about this, be sure to have them watch it. It really explains things in great detail.
Please read the following article about California wild sheep and mountain lions. Colorado will likely face the same scenario if this passes! You may want to pass this article along to those that are undecided whether to vote
yes or no!
Below are the last couple paragraphs in this article...
Oak, I agree 100% with your comment above.
I'm really not a fan of hound hunting but voting yes on this would be like slitting all hunter's throats. I know a bunch of other hunters that enjoy hunting with hounds but I'm not joining hands with anti's and posting anti-hunting sentiment that...
Here are a couple things to ponder:
If lions kill every CWD deer in Colorado, CWD prions are proven to last centuries in the soil and can infect deer for years.
CWD has existed in Colorado for 40 to 50+ years. With 40+ years of CWD prions accumulating in Colorado soils, if this passes and mtn...
For those of you that enjoy watching, filming, and hunting wild sheep, mule deer, and other big game species there should be definite concern about the impact of lions to an unchecked population of lions in Colorado.
With deer numbers down across most of Colorado and the West there is even...
California Mountain Lion Fatal and Nonfatal Human Attacks
Notice how many mountain lion attacks on humans have occurred since 1990 when lion hunting was banned!
Note how many children have been attacked! All of fatal attacks have even been older full-grown humans. 50/50 of the fatal attacks...
Idaho may as well face the facts...CWD is coming to a neighborhood near you! CWD prions will be in the soil for years. Once you have CWD it will slowly but surely spread unless you kill every living deer and animal that may spread the prions. Culling projects or increasing tags isn't going to...
Yukon, you better not leave your home...you may catch Covid, West Nile, die in an auto wreck, get shot in the head by a lunatic etc. There's a heck of a lot worse things in the World to worry about right now than CWD!
CWD and it's prions have been around for up to 40 years. With the thousands of CWD positive animals harvested wouldn't you think there would have been a human casualty by now? Every day you get in your truck to drive to work or grocery store you stand a lot better chance of kick'n the bucket...
