If we are smart, and we talk to enough people, we can fix this I think. Over 3 Billion dollars in revenue come from hunting/fishing license sales in Colorado. We need to make more people aware of this.
We also need to ensure that people realize that this ban can lead to a full ban on ALL...
lol, Billions with a b. CPW reported that over $3 BILLION with a B folks, comes from hunters and anglers buying tags and licenses in Colorado.
I'd like to see the Anti-hunting community donate that amount of money into any source of wildlife before they even have a say in what the **** happens...
And that is where the language gets scary, and can be shifted, and manipulated to target ALL hunting. This is super important that we not let this pass in Colorado, so we don't set the precedent across the country.
Trophy hunting, as defined by them, is targeting, and taking a specific animal...
Yeah, pretty much one day at the right Whole Foods and it is on the ballot.
The language is also so shitty in the initiative. It is basically a starting point/jumping off point to ban all hunting. Not just lion hunting. I'm trying to talk to as many people as I can about it and provide the...
Didn't say there was a problem for the Wyoming guys to take advantage of their seasons/lack of restrictions.
Just seems like a hot subject no matter what state you are in, and I find it counter-productive for other hunters to encourage poaching and law-breaking activities because they disagree...
I won't name names, but I've heard a bunch of Wyo folk who say if they see a CO tagged wolf, they won't have a problem shooting it.
I've also been encouraged by other Colorado hunters I won't associate with anymore, that "we should all just shoot the ones we see, and pocket the casings"...
I'm not sure, but some of the capture images look like these wolves are being picked up out of people's backyards.
I believe this likely means one of or a few of these things.
1. These are problem/trouble wolves. (Animals that are likely already causing, or are skirting the line of causing...
If I'm not mistaken, and this is my biggest worry. It is less about the reintroduction, (they are already moving in on their own), but more about how Colorado will plan to manage the populations. We need to focus on making clear guidelines for what constitutes "reintroduced" we need to be able...
Anyone have any input as to what individuals can do to help prevent tis from going forward or getting worse? Like who should we be writing letters to and calling the office of and so on?
