New CPW Commissioner

No it doesn’t…

Actually it does...but my question to @elkduds is this, if hunting is gone via his democratic party ....is that ok? If 98% of the public doesn't hunt that is a hard line for 2% to convince...now take that to the public land sale for which AI says 25% of the population use....which seems like a battle more winnable? I mean pretty common sense answer to me

Never attended a pint night, have volunteered on several fence pulls. As for Koolaid, your posts on this topic, now and in the past, reek of the red stuff.

Still no answer from you about Harpo Marx's platform on Colorado public lands and wildlife. Is there really nothing to tell? Governors absolutely have heavy influence on state public land transfers. Please name the GOP members that supported the huge La Jara land transfer you referenced above. You wrote public land sales don't involve governors. Wrong, false, misinformed, misleading. "The land transfer has harvested widespread support from local, state and federal officials and conservation advocates, including Gov. Jared Polis, U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, the Conejos County Board of Commissioners, Dan Gibbs at the Department of Natural Resources, Forest Service and BLM officials, and several wildlife and conservation advocacy groups. (source: Colorado Sun 11/10/25)"


Regardless of your denials and attempts at obfuscation (whose playbook is that?) the GOP almost exclusively opposes the Dominguez Escalante expansion of public lands, which involves BLM purchase of private property. No Colorado state properties are part of that proposal Read all about it:

Republican support for Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land acquisitions, such as those in the
Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, is complex, often pitting local development desires against broader party goals of reducing federal land ownership. While some Republicans, like Rep. Lauren Boebert, have supported initiatives framed as respecting local needs, many in the party are currently pushing to sell or transfer federal lands in Colorado:



Please take video while knocking on doors to convince women voters to support your holier-than-thou candidate of the party that keeps trying to strip them of reproductive, voting and other rights. Show them those balls you are so fixated with. Colorado women really admire men who try to convince them to vote against their own interests. Pics or it didn't happen.

I will not defend Polis on wolves or CPW. My solution is to lobby the next democratic governor on those failings.

Why aren't you supporting a candidate that is "unaffiliated,' as you identify? Flipping the gov with a Dem House and Senate would be a tedious cycle of veto and vote to override. His (her? LOL) appointments would be antagonistic to the senators that confirm those appointments, which won't accomplish the valid goal of restoring sportspeople influence to that group:

The Colorado Senate must confirm appointments made by the Governor to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Board of Commissioners. While the Governor appoints members, the Senate holds confirmation hearings and votes to approve them, with recent appointees facing scrutiny and close votes regarding wildlife management, such as wolf issues.

Wow, dude, you support killing babies along with Tantrum Mike and or Weasel Weiser. It is all making sense to me now. Let us know how it goes at your next ICE protest, and when you testify to get of the 2nd amendment, Id like to see that.

Both sales would use $60 million of LWCF funds, which Trump could easily have cut off, but he didn't and hasn't.

Some points of clarification. The La Jara Basin land transfer and expansion of public land access wasn’t as simple as “all Colorado Dems overwhelmingly supported it”. It was widely covered in another thread here. Polis appointed Nicole Rosmarino, noted animal rights activist and eco-terrorist, as the Director of the Land Board. Many rural communities pushed back on her nomination but we have urban (Denver/Boulder) rule here in Colorado so their voices didn’t matter. Rosmarino tried to derail the La Jara land transfer very late in the game, surprising many politicians across the state. In the end, the transfer was approved because of significant advocacy from local politicians and folks like Bennett and Salazar.

I wholeheartedly agree that the hunting community should make known the damage that the Polis’ admin has done. We will be fighting it in the coming months, front and center. However, it wouldn’t hurt to have some GOP folks at the state level to assist. I’d love to see a Colorado Governor veto most of the bills coming out of the General Assembly. It is straight crazy town. Preparing to outlaw mouse traps and rat poison- in order to prevent Rodenticide. Can you guess who is pushing the bill? Mark Surls and Sam Miller, both former campaign directors for Prop 127.

Thought this was a thread about the new commission and/or director. Should start a new thread about the Governor's race, pro's and cons of candidates, what they support or don't.
