Outdoor Life headlines Amendment 83 opposition Anti-hunting group

[bayoublaster7527]

I have long enjoyed reading Outdoor Life and Andrew McKean’s work. But their recent article on Colorado’s Amendment 83: Right to Hunt and Fish was very disappointing. McKean chose to headline and give prime billing to leading anti-hunting Hunter and lifelong DC swamp creature Eric Washburn. In an attempt to “both sides” the issue he tries to lead readers to believe the Colorado hunting and wildlife conservation community is split on the issue. He also lends some very undeserved credibility to Eric Washburn, who is universally despised by the hunting community in Colorado.

Why a Hunter Is Leading the Fight Against Colorado’s Right-to-Hunt Amendment​

Amendment 83 would make hunting and fishing a constitutional right in Colorado. Some of its fiercest critics are, oddly, hunters.

Nothing strange Andrew, Washburn hates hunters and supports bans on hunting. He also is a Colorado Governor Polis insider, supporting and likely hand selecting anti-hunting activists for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission.

Outdoor Life and Andrew McKean, do better. How about try supporting hunters and anglers in their attempt to protect hunting and fishing? You don’t need to “both sides” it, you’re a hunting and fishing publication. I don’t know maybe Andrew McKean and Eric Washburn are long time buddies or something.

Luckily though HOWL for Wildlife did some actual research and get the story right. Calling out Washburn’s group as anti-hunters masquerading as a hunting group. Also they are funded by Wayne Pacelle’s Animal Wellness Action/Center for Humane Economy, same folks who funded CatsArentTrophies Prop 127 campaign.
