Is Bennet worse than polis? I don’t know

Definitely not.

Hick and Bennet are both fairly moderate democrats and I would think Bennet as governor would look similar to Hickenlooper as governor. Hickenlooper helped pave the way for some gun control BS but I would not categorize him as anti hunting at all (remember he used to go to One Shot). The Polis admin is basically blatantly anti hunting. Who knows if Bennet would take on a new form if be became governor though. The scary thing is that Polis kind of took on a new form as governor, he's generally been far more moderate than he was as a congressman IMO. I guess really the radical side of Polis just operates more behind the scenes now.

I'd take Bennet in a heart beat over Polis.

My sources are saying are Phil Weiser is the most pro outdoor related activity candidate and one that the democrats should strongly consider to help protect our hunting and fishing activities in CO.

I hope my message is loud and clear. When you vote within your state or county - you better focus on selecting the best candidate that represents your outdoor lifestyle, regardless of your political affiliation! Our hunting and fishing privileges are at stake and being controlled by the candidates on the front range. Meanwhile most of our existing representatives do not hunt or fish or every care to try it - they would rather see bike paths, dog parks, and homeless camps.

Great question, hard to say but it would really be hard to be worse than Polis on hunting. Appointments like Beaulieu, Murphy, Rosmarino were so extreme and likely damaging to sportsmen and women for many years to come. His office and advisors truly shut out the sportsmen community. Publicly Bennet tries to at least portray himself as more “outdoorsy” than Polis ever was. Bennet is a Hickenlooper acolyte so you have to assume similar policy decisions and appointments. That could be an improvement. I don’t believe Bennet’s spouse is a prominent anti-hunting, anti-agriculture activist either. The other big question is how much of Polis’ staff will stay on in the front office and at various agencies. Would love to see the Republicans mount a serious challenge. Colorado is a much better place as a purple state.

That’s really interesting. What are they basing that evaluation on? Does Weiser have a specific adviser with ties to the hunting/fishing/outdoor community? I am not trying to dispute it, just curious. With most of his time in the legal field and as CU law dean, we don’t have much of a political record to look at. I know he likes to sue the federal gov’t a lot.

I will private message you or anyone else can private message me about Phil Weiser. I am not endorsing him, but if I was die hard democrat he aligns better with sportsman by far than the other candidates.

Wait a second…. You are telling me a mountain lion killed a person? The CATS Prop 127 folks like Sam Miller, Julie Marshall, Mark Surls, and Delia Malone swore that mountain lions don’t ever kill people or pets. Did they intentionally lie? Sarcasm.

Jokes on us though, CATS leaders just reflagged and regrouped. They now control majority of the seats on the CPW Commission with Murphy, Beaulieu, Tutchton, Reading, Silva-Blayney, and Emerick.

The board is scary right now along with the new CPW leader!

 

[Bigjay73]

Unfathomable what CPW has become as far as leadership. Still plenty of good people working for CPW, but the commissioning board is concerning.

Yep. Phase 1 was Polis-Reis-Gibbs remake the commission with an anti-hunting/trapping majority. Saw it with Tutchton, Beaulieu, and Murphy; then closed it out with Emerick and Silva-Blayney. Also they needed to push out the lone vocal hunting advocate, Murphy Robinson. Conveniently leave his spot open for a while to further build on the majority. Ensure that every hunting/fishing org is completely excluded from the process, while bringing in Prop 114/Prop 127 folks for appointments.

Next up purge CPW of any senior leaders who can be viewed as favorable or at least amenable to sportsmen’s interests. Ran out Dan Prenzlow and now Jeff Davis. Emplace Gen Clellan as interim, until they can find a candidate completely divorced from the hunting and fishing community.

Every hunter, angler, trapper or individual that believes in science-based wildlife management and maintaining these outdoor traditions should be very alarmed. Absolute frightened. All the chess pieces are being put into place to end it.
