Stop this Dangerous Bill to Ban Hunting and Trapping of Bobcats, Mountain Lions and Lynx in Colorado We still need you to contact legislators regarding SB22-031, a bill that would ban hunting lion, bobcat, and lynx. The bill was referred to the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resource Committee where it is scheduled for a hearing on February 3rd. (If you can make a showing at the Capitol, please arrive early and wear clothing that identifies you as a hunter.) The NWTF opposes SB22-031 because it disregards science-based wildlife management, runs counter to the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and the last century's contributions of hunters and anglers. Wildlife management should be left in the hands of Colorado Parks and Wildlife. If you have contacted your legislators using the above link, please also take a few minutes to send a personal email or make a phone call to all Colorado legislators on the list below. Let each legislator know that you OPPOSE SB 22-031 and support Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the commission, and their ability to manage our wildlife and make scientific decisions regarding our wildlife. We need you to reach out this week! Please be brief and respectful in showing your support for our hunting heritage.
