Uhhhh ….. not really. A quick look at Colorado politics and even a visit to a wildlife commission meeting would dispel that. When I listen to the crazy Denver/Boulder crowd I often ask myself, where did they come from? Texas never comes to mind…..
Keep sending it! I also reached out to their campaigns and got no response. The more chaos and disfunction with the commission over the next 6 months, the better. More bad press surrounding the commission will get gubernatorial candidates attention. Signal that people are upset and a change is...
Apparently our esteemed “sportsmen’s” representative, Peter Maguire, is under a gag order from CPW. Told to not provide comment to Colorado Sun. But he did submit a feel good cow elk hunt story. He must only hunt cow elk because according to his CatsArentTrophies/Prop 127 petition, he abhors...
Most likely in a shock to no one, they added a ton of firearms to the list of permit-required firearms, far exceeding the initial list voted on in the legislature. In a single party state, honesty isn’t expected from elected officials.
Here in Colorado it’s literally like a contest for who sued Trump the most.
And because we have single party rule the Dem primary is the actual election.
Oh yeah. Her work from the CSU Policy Center is very intentional. I dialed into this meeting referenced below in 2025. Basically a campaign strategy meeting on how to get mountain lion and black bear hunting banned. Niemiec led this along with Wayne Pacelle, Marlon, Delia Malone, etc. She has...
In other news, our new “sportsmen’s” representative Dr. Peter Maguire actively campaigned for CatsArentTrophies and Proposition 127 in an attempt to ban mountain lion hunting. His signature is on the attached memo. With the addition of Niemiec and Maguire, there is now a majority voting block of...
This is bad….. incredibly bad. At least Otero and Niemiec. Don’t know anything about maguire or Le Coq.
Governor Polis getting one more stomp in on the Colorado sportsmen and women.
Otero is a complete embarrassment as a sportsmen’s rep. Didn’t bother to show up to the May commission meetings...
Agree with a lot of what both of you have stated. Maybe the answer is raising the bar a bit on what gets put on the ballot. States like Oregon and Colorado set the bar so low for ballot initiatives that they really invite lots of fringe ideas. Some do get rejected, which is good, but many gain...
Ballot initiatives like IP 28 in OR and 302-Right to Hunt/Fish in CO are too important to devolve into partisan bickering.
You win through addition, not subtraction.
While I am glad to hear she opposes it, I suspect that is more due to her read on the likelihood of IP 28 passing than any principled respect for hunters and anglers. A good example of “both sides-ing” this issue.
This is why constitutional right to hunt and fish initiatives are so important, particularly ballot initiative 303 in Colorado. We could easily see something like a watered down version of IP28 here in Colorado based on the growth of anti-hunting organizations here.
For all the “No one is...
