I spent 20 of some of my best years in Colorado. I was able to take a bighorn ram, yearly bull elk hunts, quality waterfowl hunting, I no longer live or hunt Colorado much any more.
California has lost its title of the land of “Fruit and Nuts” and now shares that title with Colorado .
The only way you Coloradan’s who enjoy hunting are going to save your outdoor lifestyle is by a well funded
grass roots effort.
Coloradans who are hunters have allowed themselves to be put in a pretty large hole. Only a extremely well funded educated effort will now save some of your rights to hunt. If I was living in Colorado and planned on staying there I would be immediately setting up a network of high net worth contacts who love the outdoors as much as I do. It’s going to take a lot of money to remove these kooks mainly in the front range who have taken over your state and it’s government.
I don’t see much if anything at all from the outdoorsman and women in a grass roots effort to stop the craziness. If the Colorado sportsman lose ,its largely their fault. Instead of complaining on forums I would be putting large amounts of money where it can persuade public opinion.
There are many ways to get your political representatives replaced with more mainstream types. If every hunter had fifteen less craft beers per year, held off on the next best new mountain bike, not purchase the next matching KUIU piece of designer camo, your next piece of gear to save 3 ounces, your next new rifle, etc. etc. etc. and use that money to support the cause to regain control of your hunting lifestyles you stand a chance.
When I lived in Colorado some of my friends were commissioners on the the DOW, these guys were some of the most dedicated and knowledgeable in the USA, I was on the board of the Rocky Mtn Bighorn Society working alongside the biologists and fieldworkers in the game department. These types can dress down the likes of your unknowing city boy governor and his anti hunting male wife in five minutes in a debate.
There are so many ways you Coloradans can respond in force, I just don’t see anyone putting forth a consorted effort. Once you get a plan in place the effort will snowball and money will come in. Along with the grassroots effort say the average hunter donates $100-$200 you will find the high net worth individuals will open their wallets, ranchers, corporations that benefit from hunters will make large donations, and people like myself who live out of state will also help your cause.
If you sit by and do nothing you lose!
