Don’t blame you for not having a lot of faith. CPW employees are mostly great folks trying to do their best in a tough situation however they are under the highest level of scrutiny from Jared Polis and Marlon Reis. And those two will probably never rule in favor of ranchers.
Some of it has been the significant population growth in urban/suburban areas and natural political shift that comes with it. However, many chalk it up to a deliberate political strategy starting in the early 2000’s by ultra wealthy progressive donors who are referred to as the four horsemen...
Definitely a good one. Dan Gates and CRWM are on the front lines to protect hunting in Colorado. And don’t be fooled this isn’t just a Colorado problem. It will be coming to a state near you. The people behind this hunting ban are part of a national campaign to end hunting.
I wouldn’t hold up that article as a good example of a “differing” opinion. That’s just Skiba throwing a tantrum after he couldn’t get the votes for Senate confirmation and had to resign. He has the nerve to make the claim that he is the only person who can effectively represent hunters and yet...

At face value it makes sense that non-hunters have a voice in wildlife management. And in many states they do. The major issue is that the groups pushing for this have a very clear agenda, eliminate hunting. Time and time again they have shown themselves to not be good faith actors.
Aside from anti-hunting ballot initiatives, this is the greatest threat to hunting in America. It is a nationwide effort to reconfigure wildlife commissions across the country to exclude hunters and anglers from wildlife management in the name of “democracy”. But make no mistake, the goal of...
Absolutely! They are really focused hard on Washington, Oregon, and Colorado right now but also seeing them working Vermont to exclude hunters from the wildlife commission. We have seen them attempt some maneuvers in Arizona and New Mexico, with varying success so far. The anti-hunters are...
