Will Congress intervene to stop wolf reintro?

[bayoublaster7527]

The reality is whatever they "jam" through can be reversed. I fully support people getting involved with state senators and such, but they also might want to get involved in the vetting process in the primaries. Get the candidates on the record regarding the mess at the commission. This is hard for some to believe, but Democrats and Independents hunt too. Don't count on flipping the Governor's seat. Progress is certainly slow, and unfortunately most people get disinterested quickly.

Correct. While it is technically possible to reverse things, I would say history tells us it’s much more difficult to get something back once it’s lost. As you stated, people just lose interest. The most troubling part of Polis’ war on hunting and angling has been the remaking of the commission, packed with anti-hunting activists.

It is my understanding that CRWM has been engaging with all the gubernatorial candidates to ensure we have a voice. Unlike the previous admin, where hunters and anglers were completely excluded from wildlife management and appointments, by design.

Good reminder to throw some money their direction during this season of consum…. err I mean, giving.

Ok, so that's an opinion. I would suggest you NOT volunteer to lead the charge on this effort.

Yes, that is a collection of opinions, but I would challenge you to list one that isn't factually based.

Nothing untrue. Also true, you will never change anything with a defeatist attitude.

I'm pragmatic. I have been around enough, lived in every major portion of this country (SE, West coast, East coast, IMW, Midwest and SE) and Europe enough to realize what just is......It would be wonderful if there was any foreseeable, decent path forward for CO but given what has happened with the population and the resulting elections (regardless of one's personal belief it should be noted that at the same time the "people" voted to reintroduce and covet wolves they also voted for the most grotesque abortion law in the US.......until the literal moment of exit from the womb) I don't see any reasonable possibility of that. There are plenty of places and fights in the US that are there to protect and have. The people who were reasonable centrists/left leaning have allowed the left's flavor (I do NOT ignore morons on the other side either....eg Boobert) of nuts to run their asylum here......

I can see how Colorado state government could really get you down. The General Assembly and many of the boards/commissions are a compete crazy train. Everything from dismantling private property rights, limiting freedom of speech, to the non stop anti-gun legislation. Word on the street is the CO Dems in the legislature are lining up a NFA items-suppressor ban in the next session. It’s a lot to handle.

However, wildlife management and hunting/angling is the one area I do have some hope. There has been a pretty consistent backlash against what the Polis admin has done. We have seen that in the overwhelming defeat of Prop 127 and the Denver fur and meat packing bans. Additionally many folks are unhappy with the wolf reintroduction disaster.

CRWM has had success in activating many hunters and anglers. I believe many of the gubernatorial candidates have taken notice.

I hope whomever is the next Governor kicks DNR Director Spineless Dan Gibbs to the curb. He fashioned himself as a friend to the “outdoors” community then enabled Polis-Reis to completely disenfranchise the sportsmen community. One of the positive things I can say about former CPW Director Jeff Davis is that he was likely terminated because he was considered too friendly to the sportsmen and ranching community by Polis-Reis and their activists pals.
