Cats Aren't Trophies

[COEngineer]

Do they do polling on propositions? Being out of touch with Colorado, I wonder what the outlook is like at this current time.

Last I heard it is really close. If anyone has been sitting on the sidelines, now is the time to jump in. Best way to contribute is a donation to savethehuntcolorado.com. I like the idea from someone on this forum who recommended donating as much money as you have spent on applications and tags this year.

What does a resident app and tag cost if I were to donate and match that? About 80 bucks?

Yes. I can't speak to release of results.

yeah pretty much. a resident elk tag and app fee are around like 75 or something.

Need to get this retired biologist doing a tv ad. Good read.

Lion hunting isn’t trophy hunting because trophy hunting is illegal in Colorado • Colorado Newsline

Well regulated hunting is a crucial tool in managing Colorado's wildlife populations, including the mountain lion.

So since the NR cost is just about x10 that, does that mean that my donation to a state issue should be proportional or reverse proportional? $8 or $800?

so let's put a period on that and leave this thread to updates, strategy, and people actually interested in donating on the issue.

Well today was a good day, but a little disturbing - I earned us at least 3 votes supporting the Cat Ban, and hopefully more. I was handing out bumper stickers at the Hayden Gun Range early today and came upon a 3 youngerish gentlemen that said they were registered voters and asked them if they would proudly and immediately place this bumper sticker on their vehicle. The owner of the Suburu asked what the bumper sticker was all about. I spent several minutes discussing this issue and found out that NONE of them were aware of this or had voted on the wolf agenda !!! One them said he typically only votes for the presidential candidates and was not aware of ballot issues. This prompted several more minutes of discussing the ballot issues, and explaining that the ballot issues are the ISSUES THAT AFFECT US LOCALLY!!!!!

People - Keep educating and reaching out as the ballots will be in our hands this week. We need to reach and educate everyone on this issue, but working with these 3 guys very easily could result in 5/10 or 20 votes that in this case might never have voted for or against Ballot Issue 127.

Good stuff, that’s how you do it. I think I read somewhere that CO has around 127000 hunters who are not registered to vote. That’s how we win this one and could have won the wolf ban thing.
