[robby denning]

Maybe this was stated already. But word on the street is the antis are gonna try to get hound hunting banned. They are trying thru legislation. January sportsmen need to have a big showing of protest and we need to testify against that.

Keep us posted Justin

I could see it a bunch that tried the cat ban are still in power in the legislature. Some of them judy amabile have zero repercussions for bring up stupid stuff, if they do we will beat the war drum once again…

This is entirely possible. They attempted it in 2022 and lost in embarrassing fashion. Never made it out of committee. All but one sponsor dropped it. However, 127 Proponents (CATS) claim they have a public mandate despite losing by more than 10 points. They showed up in force during the last CPW Commission meeting. They are not going to stop. They have full time paid employees (Samantha Miller and Julie Marshall) and this is their only job. We must stay engaged. I am confident they are going to bring a citizen petition to the CPW commission to ban hound hunting in the very near future. We have to be prepared to fight this. They already have three Commissioners who publicly supported Prop 127. In a 11 person commission they only need three more votes.

Wow. So in addition to violating CPW Commission policy, failing to meet commission statutory requirements, and lying in testimony to the Senate Natural Resources committee……Beaulieu and Murphy also violated the law.

Yep, par for the course for antis! I hope they really regret it all and the public sees what is happening. It would be to the benefit of CRWM and the other orgs to publicize the hell out of this suit.

This is the way. Go on the offensive,

 

[bayoublaster7527]

Every Colorado hunter should email their Senators and demand the Colorado State Senate hold these Commissioners accountable. State Senate confirmed them. Cut and paste from the article and past posts. The Senate and/or Natural Resources Committee need to hold a hearing on this misconduct by these commissioners.

Random question but does anyone know if @blackovis helped with this fight in any way, shape, or form?
I emailed them at 7am this morning asking the same question but have yet to get a response.
Black Friday deals are here and I need to know where to spend my money.

Does it matter to you that they carry muley freak products and he is a known multiple conviction poacher? They've been asked about that by multiple folks and they've never responded so unfortunately they've lost my business while they partner with that poacher.

I’m unfamiliar with Muley freak so I’ll have to check into that as well. Be interesting to see if they respond regarding 127.

Plenty of interesting reading to be had on the M freek. Here’s one thread.

Muley Freak poaching case plea deal

Anyone have they details? I know they removed the felony charge and reached a plea deal agreement but not much else. Must have had a hell of a lawyer. And now that he has been convicted, will companies finally stop doing business with that brand?

“There was no collusion. We simply signed off on a letter,” Murphy said. “We did not talk about it at all. Not one single word was written by either one of us.”

I’ll be looking forward to discovery

So are they suggesting they just individually signed off on a ghost written piece that had their respective names included on it making zero edits and voicing zero input?

Saying that not “suggesting” it, sounds like.

I look forward to where this goes. The article said/says it was "written by" them, not endorsed by them. Obviously their credibility is in the toilet at the moment one way or another. Blindly signing off on lies while representing yourself as a commissioner is messed up in and of itself.
