Check how close Arapahoe county was. They went "yes", but only by less than 1%

Good work, Co so far. The wolf ballot box biology has turned enough people on to who truly needs to make those decisions.

Arapahoe county is as touchy-feely and emotional versus rational as it gets, and they almost had enough common sense to say no. That's a good sign.

Need to go on offense after this

 

[Hnthrdr]

Yes! Time to put an end to ballot box biology!

Thank god people woke up on 127, but I’m gonna have to build an ammo cache that’ll have me on a watch list before this 6.5% ammo tax takes effect

I’m deeply mentally invested in the outcome of this vote from Oklahoma. It’s looking promising and I’m optimistic but I know anything can still happen. I have been so impressed & proud with the way hunters & outdoorsmen & women have come together to battle this bullshit ballot box biology attempt from the start.

To get everyone up to speed, the Colorado Secretary of State has certified that there are enough signature to move I-91 to the ballot this fall.

That means that the popular vote will decide if mountain lion and bobcat hunting will continue in Colorado. Just a couple of years ago a similar ballot initiative to require Colorado Parks and Wildlife to import and manage wolves passed by the narrow margin of 33,000 votes of 2 million.

Every vote will be needed.

What you can do right now:

DONATE to Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management. Simply put, this will not be won without the financial support of sportsmen.

WATCH Charles, President of HOWL for Wildlife, give an update.

SUBSCRIBE to this thread. We will be posting updates, actions, and anything else YOU need to help defeat I-91 in this thread.

SHARE this post, CRWM and HOWL links, and good information with anyone whose ear you can bend. Much has been said that is simply and factually incorrect (CPW doesn't have a position on this, populations are declining, etc.)

JOIN the pack. Colorado isn't the only state experiencing these types of attacks. It is an ongoing battle everywhere to protect hunting's heritage, access, and opportunities.

This is the rally cry for all sportsmen, regardless of where you live or if you hunt mountain lions or bobcats, to stop this anti-hunting effort.

Donated

Nice work all. I tried to convince my friends that live there. Looking good right now for sure!

Let's face it, folks. We got lucky. This came as a surprise, we reacted late, and none of us were sure how it would turn out. We need to be on the lookout for these things earlier, fight them smarter, and counter where we can.

 

[ElDiablito]

We need to keep our momentum and get an anti ballot box biology measure on the next ballot!

 

[35WhelenAI]

Need to put an initiative on the ballot to stop future initiatives on the ballot. The population centers control these types of measures. It's historic that population centers vote with their heart and not their head. There comes a point where we need to meet in the middle and agree to disagree and let the head prevail.

 

[35WhelenAI]

With that said, yep, there's what amounts to a shooting sports excise tax coming.

Not happy about it but at least it wasn’t a restriction or ban on something

True, still sucks…
