This is absolutely true. The anti-hunting contingent in Colorado want to push the narrative that hunters barely exist.
I am sure the folks at The Equity Project believe that traditional activities like hunting and fishing represent the oppressive settler colonialism of the past.
The question comes down to “how do you eliminate something you don’t like?” Colorado Dems, under the influence of anti-gun activists, want to eliminate firearms and firearms ownership. But they can’t just ban firearms sales and confiscate current firearms. The Governor has pushed back some and...
I don’t disagree with your point but I think the Colorado General Assembly has far surpassed the “common sense” gun control measures that the majority supports. Politicians (both parties) have a real knack for over-correcting and exceeding their “mandate” from their voters. We will see if that...
Heck, I didn’t think he could speak. Sure hasn’t ever used his voice to speak on behalf of hunters and anglers at commission meetings.
Pretty awesome what Robinson is doing though. Shows how engaged a commissioner can be if they appoint folks who actually represent their constituents.
Great question. I believe in Colorado they do through the Colorado Wildlife Conservation Project. CWCP has been very effective here in Colorado. I believe they may have been born out of necessity as various anti-hunting proposals started to materialize. I suspect most states will need something...
Maybe I am just lamenting a week of major rejection: NM all species, MT elk and deer, CO sheep and goat. Is there ever a point when you have a serious chance of drawing CO sheep or goat?
I have had the Kifaru universal gun bearer for almost ten years. Used it on a variety of packs, SG, MR, Kuiu, etc. Works well and I haven’t found a need to change. I have found myself in many situations where I had to quickly take an off hand shot at close range while hiking. Worked as...
I am not discounting the value of an organization like you describe. However, I think for states where hunting and fishing is under attack, we need a 501c4 at the state level that can fight for hunters and anglers at the state house, wildlife commission, and the ballot box. I believe Colorado...
“Pretty safe”? Unless you live in Colorado……
Disclaimer: Freedom of speech, parental rights, and private property rights are also under attack by the extreme Colorado General Assembly so I do partially agree with your statement. We have to pay attention to all of them.
Just in case you thought CATS and the anti-hunting extremists were going away……
Headlined by the usual suspects: Rebecca Niemiec from Colorado State University Anti-Hunting Policy Center, Wayne Pacelle disgraced former CEO of Humane Society, and the Colorado Governor’s husband, Marlon Reis...
Yeah, I think there is concern that ballot proposal #52 will come back in some form or fashion. It would likely end hunting and fishing in Colorado as we know it. They withdrew it but could be submitted again in some form...
Yep our highly “qualified” commissioners passed that with little to no public comment either. These are the same people that claimed lion hunters can use drones, which is prohibited by the commission’s own regulations; that mountain lion hunts guarantee “success at 100%,” when the success rate...
Absolutely. To Buzz’s point just this weekend Wildlife For All (noted national anti-hunting org) posted this after losing unanimously at the Arizona wildlife commission on their mountain lion hound hunting ban petition, “We will never stop. We only have to win once, they have to win every time”...
He likely still has his sights set on the highest office. Wholeheartedly agree that he has to be held accountable for the PolisGunBan. Just a point of clarification though, Gov Polis did not endorse Prop 127. He also didn’t oppose it. In fact the Colorado Democratic Party chose not to endorse...
It’s complete nonsense and I feel very bad for CPW. Their mission is very important and likewise very difficult. According to the bill sponsors, the affected firearms are clearly “weapons of war”, how does certification and training on “weapons of war” fit within the CPW charter?
