    How will public lands fare from this election?

    Don’t know if your statement on current Democrats rings true if you are in Colorado. The most prominent elected Colorado Democrat officials opposed Amendment 83, the amendment establishing a right to hunt and fish. I recognize that refusing to protect hunting and fishing is not the same as...

    How will public lands fare from this election?

    Colorado is bad news bears. Dems now hold veto-proof supermajority in house and senate. Already talking about how they can overturn the result of ballot initiatives (essentially the will of the people, so much for “No Kings”). It also means attempts by GOV-elect Phil Weiser to moderate the far...

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commissioner confirmation this week

    More coming out about Dr Niemiec on the CPW Commission. It’s fine to be opposed to hunting, that may be your opinion. But don’t try to hide it as scientific, academic research under a public research university and use it to drive political outcomes. That’s outright activism. Colorado State...

    RIP Amendment 83

    I truly hope you are right. I know this defeat will be like a dinner bell to all the national anti-hunting groups. Wayne Pacelle, Animal Wellness Action/Center for Humane Economy, Center for Biological Diversity, Wildlife for All, etc are all claiming a huge victory. We may see hunting bans on...

    Self defense pistol recommendations.

    We used to have a saying….. What ever the question, Glock 19 is the answer. Buy one handgun to do it all. But with some of the newer Glock 9mm models (43/43x/48, etc) may not be quite than simple. However the general idea is still solid.

    Colorado Amendment 83: Right to Hunt and Fish

    And they keep saying hunting isn’t under threat. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19t3LmGCBM/

    Anti-Hunting CPW Commission attacks Colorado Right to Hunt and Fish

    In what is likely not a shock to anyone following along, 6 of the 11 sitting Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioners condemned Amendment 83: Right to Hunt and Fish. The CPW Commission sets all rules and regulations for hunting and fishing. These folks hold complete and total control over...

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    That’s an interesting question and my understanding is that ballot initiatives go through a legislative review where they look at how said initiative affects current statute or constitution. It takes a constitutional amendment to overturn an existing constitutional amendment, which does raise...

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    Don’t believe it is performative at all. Things like Proposition 127, HB 25-1258, and the wave of citizen petitions to the wildlife commission have not been “performative”. I truly believe a right to hunt and fish in a state like Colorado, with incredibly lax ballot initiative laws, will help...

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    That’s fair. I am remaining cautiously optimistic. I suspect it will be better than Polis (hard to be much worse) but likely not as good as we would hope for. Issue is how much damage the anti-hunting commission can do by March. They are trying to ram through prairie dog hunting ban, lead ammo...

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    Yeah, I had heard somewhere that the CA Commission might be moving in a more positive direction for sportsmen. Maybe the increase in black bear tags or something. I can tell you unequivocally that the Colorado Commission is moving the opposite direction quite quickly. Anti-hunting activist...

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    I suspect if you both dealt with the nonsense out of the Colorado Governor’s office, Wildlife Commission, and the powerful anti-hunting groups here; you might be a tad upset also. How wrong of us to think we (Colorado hunters and anglers) might have an ally in Outdoor Life?

    Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

    Nearly all? Try every single one anyone has ever heard of, including RMEF, DU, TRCP, and BHA. The only “hunting” group opposed to Amendment 83 is Washburn’s fake “Hunters and Anglers against 83” group which is actually funded by Wayne Pacelle at Center for Humane Economy/Animal Wellness Action...

    Colorado Amendment 83: Right to Hunt and Fish

    One of my faves….. In case you were wondering who’s really behind “Hunters against 83” with Eric Washburn and Gary Skiba.
