For me that makes it even more gross. I have some semblance of respect for folks when their actions are based in their own closely held principles and values. Seems that she is guided by neither and is just looking to stick it to hunters and trappers, while keeping those checks from the Center...
Yeah will be interesting to see. I suspect their influence might be waning. They were unable to get an outfitter seat on the commission with SB-5. Left on the outside looking in after NMWF struck a partnership with Wildlife For All.
So here is an example that hits a bit closer to home, the hunting community here in Colorado. Below is a link to “Colorado Backcountry News” article. Which is neither a backcountry nor a news outlet. It is a thinly-veiled propaganda page for the anti-hunting groups in Colorado that aims to...
“The vilification of O&G is mostly a narrative created by lobbyists.”
That statement is not even remotely accurate if you live in Colorado and watch the statements made by members of the ruling party in the General Assembly. However, their statements and that narrative many times don’t actually...
Wait a second, here in Colorado we have been told on numerous occasions from esteemed “non-profits” that the “peer-reviewed, best available science” tells us that all carnivores are completely self-regulating and therefore it is impossible for them to exceed carrying capacity and crash prey...
This 100%. He is going to get a lot of flack for this from the anti-hunting groups: CatsArentTrophies flunkies, ColoradoWild, Sierra Club, Prairie Protection Colorado, Center for Biological Diversity, Science for Colorado Wildlife, etc.
Here is an example. Hit job from the antis trying to...
Not here to complain about price increases, as I will likely still pay it. YMMV.
Just here to highlight the life-changing charitable work done by 47th generation Wyomingite and world renowned combat action bada$$ Rob Shaul. Just ask him.
“One non-resident hunter in Wyoming is one non-resident...
Absolutely. No shortage of volunteers for these positions, the Governor just chooses to ignore plenty of the qualified candidates. He chose to not reappoint Dr Karen Bailey, a quite reasonable and qualified commissioner, so he could replace her with Emerick, a clear nod to the anti-hunting...
This. Based on the hearing, there were concerns that he previously endorsed Proposition 127: Mountain Lion hunting ban and made some other statements supporting “rewilding”. He distanced himself from those statements today but didn’t dispute that he had made them in the past.
Emerick was a...
More press coverage. Keep the pressure on.

From the Colorado Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee today:
Frances Silva-Blayney- favorable recommendation to the Senate for appointment to the CPW Commission. Vote 7-0
John Emerick- DID NOT receive favorable recommendation to the Senate for appointment to the CPW Commission...
This week CPW Commission appointments will go before the Colorado State Senate for confirmation. Confirmation hearing before the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources committee on April 22 and will likely go to a vote on the Senate floor on April 24. If you have been following the turmoil...
Are you upset with the CPW Commission overruling the CPW biologists and passing a citizen petition fur ban?
Are you concerned that out of state anti-hunting groups now control a majority voting bloc on the CPW Commission?
Take action! Make your voice heard and oppose these commission...
Your ire is a bit misplaced, the folks trying to take away your ability to hunt and fish are primarily elected officials and unelected, political appointees on boards and commissions. The lifelong federal and state employees of the various wildlife and land agencies are not the villains you are...
Wow. Retaliation? Really? Did they read the Knoll memo? The same Lorna Smith who told hunters “they should be very afraid” is a victim of bullying and harassment? Is expecting an appointed commission member to follow the law now a form of bullying?
Claire Loebs Davis believes she is being...
Out of state, anti-hunting group Center for Biological Diversity is already campaigning hard to ensure Dr. John Emerick is confirmed on the CPW Commission. Action alert to all their people.
Of note CBD was the petitioner for the fur ban that was accepted on March 4. They also attempted to ban...
Saw a post from Sportsmen Alliance stating this is the underhanded work of Wayne Pacelle, disgraced former Humane Society CEO and current head of Animal Wellness Action. They were primary funders of Prop 127 campaign in Colorado to ban mountain lion hunting.
