Want to know why Dr. Niemiec pushed for a bag limit of 2 and a ban on fur sales? How about her involvement with CatsArentTrophies and the Proposition 127 campaign? Push for wildlife management policy solely based on personal values?
Just ask her...
Saw a DU action alert and petition against this. Signed it. Also seen a few waterfowl hunting “influencers” speaking out against it. Maybe that will move the needle.
Why single out hunters? I thought we were a statistically and economically insignificant, slowly dying minority? At least that is what the anti-hunting folks in Colorado tell us all the time. Why not focus on hikers and bikers and wildlife watchers? I always love the “public safety”...
What we have found with Polis appointees who are supposed to represent sportspersons and agriculture producers is that Polis Admin combs the state to find the most ardent anti-hunting “hunters” and anti-agriculture “producers” to fill these positions. Must be tough to find such reps.
Dr...
Absolutely. Otero has been a complete embarrassment as the sportsmen’s representative. He very rarely speaks up for sportsmen and women. That is, when he actually shows up for commission meetings. He continually misses commission meetings, some where important votes are taken.
Interesting turn...
Will be a good litmus test for our new commissioners, especially our new “CatsArentTrophies” sportsmen’s representative Peter Maguire. What a complete fraud and embarrassment.
Eisenhower understood well the intricate balance between shared prosperity and the capitalist system, with both underpinning the survival of the republic.
I think to wish away IP 28 as not a real threat and not take seriously is a very dangerous position for the hunting community. IP 28 has nothing to do with predators. The proponents have already stated they are not going away and will keep coming back. If they can gain a decent percentage of...
For me I guess it depends on what exactly you are worried about. It is likely that this won’t pass, but there is no certainty in elections. Once something makes the ballot, anything can happen. Particularly in a mostly rural state with one major urban population center.
And the supporters have...
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...
