    CPW 2026 Strategic Plan Input

    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.

    As if I wasn't ready to leave CO already.........the hits just keep on coming.

    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...

    As if I wasn't ready to leave CO already.........the hits just keep on coming.

    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...

    CPW Commissioners' Office Hours

    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.

    A Unified Voice - A Wildlife Defense Federation?

    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...

    2025 Colorado Goat And Sheep Draw Results

    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?

    Quick Release Rifle Bearer

    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...

    A Unified Voice - A Wildlife Defense Federation?

    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...

    Not a Game Law issue, but I'm interested in WA HTer's opinion of this new WA proposed gun law bill HB 1504.

    “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.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    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...

    Move to repeal CO wolf introduction

    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...

    Colorado draft big game license recommendations

    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...

    End of Grizzly Delisting?

    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”...

    As if I wasn't ready to leave CO already.........the hits just keep on coming.

    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...

    CO Bill to ban Semi rifles and shotguns moves to senate floor.

    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?

    As if I wasn't ready to leave CO already.........the hits just keep on coming.

    The sad reality is this bill is just the tip of the iceberg. Everytown for Bloomberg has complete control over the Denver/Boulder metro Dems in the General Assembly. They average 5-6 anti-gun bills per session. They have to keep proposing and passing these bills to keep the campaign money...

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    Actually worse than that, openly deceptive and dishonest. Beaulieu, in the first commission meeting she attended since the article, doubled down by defiantly stating that she stood behind everything in the article and she is done discussing it.

    Cats Aren't Trophies

    I will say it is quite disappointing that these commissioners were never held accountable for openly lying in an attempt to mislead voters and leverage their position on the commission. They willfully violated the CPW Commission communications policy in the process. Complete lack of leadership...

    Study calls Commission 'dysfunctional'

    I think this is a huge win for science-based wildlife management, hunting and fishing. Standing by for some knowledgeable WA folks to weigh in more specifics on these appointments. Congrats to the grassroots WA hunting and fishing groups who advocated for better appointees.
