Congratulations Colorado hunters...

Just saw this...

 

[JoeB]

good news

 

[Soj51hopeful]

Good deal, for now.

 

[street]

There is hope

Back to the boal thread

 

[ODB]

Good.

Proof that it's not necessarily the number of hunters that matters, but the number of hunters that use their voices that matter.

 

[justin davis]

Good for now. I’m worried they will take it to the ballot next and then be in trouble similar to the wolf

Keep tabs on this one:

Only Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, D-Boulder County, remained as a prime sponsor of the bill. She was the only vote in favor of advancing the measure on Thursday.

The testimony in favor of the bill was insane. One woman (a veterinarian) states that houndsmen treat their dogs horribly and don't care about them. Another was from CA touring how great it was there after they banned MTN lion hunting (go the F back then!).

Lots of ignorance and assumptions from the antis. Glad that we had so many well spoken intelligent hunters and scientists making testimony in opposition.

Be ready for the next one. The all out assault on hunting is growing and gaining steam.

And in this case: science (and biologists who are best left to manage wildlife) prevailed ... not politicians or soccer moms with five kids (and five cats).

What's funny is that when trail cams came along here in Kansas... people actually started believing there ARE mountain lions in Kansas... funny little world

 

[DenverCountryBoy]

Wow, I did not expect Fields to flip.

Seems like there's some really good orgs right now that are committed to staying on top of predator issues around the US. There's a couple that seem like they are more involved in issues than several of the "more established" conservation groups.

We won this round, but we all need to be vigilant against the next attempts as well. Thanks to everyone that took the time to make your voice heard.

I never thought I would spend more time sending emails and making phone calls than I spend planning my yearly elk hunt but that is just the world we live in now.

 

[roadrunner]

Good. Now if we can get that idiotic trapping ban in NM reversed...

Here is a short write up about the testimony: https://www.coloradopolitics.com/le...cle_700d9e9c-852e-11ec-ac9b-df8f0c206495.html

Gotta keep up on this stuff to stay ahead of the HSUS and other groups trying to ban hunting

 

[Tbone58]

That’s good news. But I’m disappointed there’s no funny meme with this…

 

[street]

Thank your reps that voted against it!

 

[Rich M]

Excellent!

 

[PaHunter86]

At least someone was using the correct head to think on this one!

That Lewis person with so many names from Boulder; I expect no less from THAT crowd...
