Come on in we can use everyone! There are plenty of Co folks here if you want any info on places you are moving

We have a friend/coworker that lives in Fairplay and i fell in love with his property. 35 acres right at 10k feet and a view of Pikes Peak on a clear day. Not sure if I need that much land but i loved the view. Been watching zillow and he'll let me know if there's anything that pops up around him. Close enough to civilization if you need something but far enough away to be secluded as well. @Hnthrdr send me a PM if there are some other areas you think we should consider.

Agree. Venting is important as is being informative. Just very tired of it all happening. Honestly I don’t normally open these threads unless someone reported something, living in it everyday I come here to escape.

@MtnW I’m just exhausted from the ongoing political climate here, sorry if I came off dismissive to you. I know a lot of residents are trying on direct personal interactions even if we seem absent online.

Agree with you on the exhaustion @fngTony .
I run an agri-tourism business and the wolf discussion comes up daily. It can be so mind numbing, anxiety, anger and frustration inducing.
But the point you and @bayoublaster7527 make about engaging non-hunters and educating is spot on. I'd like to reinforce that point. Sorry if I'm an overzealous noob...
Many of our clients (from all walks of life) are ignorant about the situation, but I've not had one who wasn't sympathetic to our plight after listening to a fact-based discussion of the failures of the program, the burdens it has placed upon us and threat it is to our future. The point being that there are plenty of non-hunters and non-ag people who can still listen to and appreciate reason, logic and science.
We all need to keep engaging in discourse with our neighbors and co-residents. Stick to facts and limit how much emotion (anger) we express when trying to enlighten others about the failings and corruption of the wolf program and our new CPW.
Don't waste your time fighting the extremists. They'll just get you to make an emotional mistake they can then weaponize. Many of the more moderate-minded people who thought it was logical to bring back an animal eradicated from the landscape can also understand the logic (and science!) behind how much that landscape has changed and how it is no longer a viable habitat for said animal. They just never got that second half when they voted on 114. I think the win on 127 proved this but we can't get complacent.
