It was a good win, but it was also a glimpse of the fight ahead. The proponents of HB 25-1258 (same folks behind Prop 127) have mobilized an army of activists determined to eliminate the trapping of furbearers.

But the Gray Wolf already occupies and thrives in the Northern Pine forests of the Northern States which is the best habitat for them in the US.

Clearly behind the curve here but just saw this proposal on the latest Fresh Tracks and came here fired up to post about it. Great to see it was already voted down, another tally in the W column.
