I would recommend every Colorado resident hunter contact their representatives and the reps on the natural resources committees and tell any hunting buddies to do the same.

Voting has consequences!

Voting has consequences!

And some in the hunting community/industry surely voted for it.

Animal and environmental law…. Just what I was hoping my kids would study in the future.

I think the new North American Wildlife Model in a lot of states is going to be feed everything with hoofs to the animals with claws.

Predators are are really big focus in lots of states, and I don’t mean managing them at levels to create healthy ungulate populations.

10 years from now it will be interesting to see where we are.

I’m fairly certain all the west coast states have already appointed similar wildlife commissions. Oregon probably being the least anti hunting from what I have seen.

How anyone can call themselves a hunter and vote in these Liberal progressives is mind boggling.

It sure seems that trying to have a joint hunting/wildlife/recreation board that gets appointed by one person with no oversight is pretty impossible. Bias exist and manifest themselves. Even the best natured person is going to lean towards their bias even if it is unconscious. When Polis was a senator I think there were some good and some bad things that came of it. Once he was governor the gloves seemed to come off and he is showing his true nature. I'm sure glad he's almost done. I'd like to think moving to another state would be better but the grass is always greener and some would argue that staying and fighting the fight is a better policy. Time will tell. I certainly don't feel like I ever get a response worth anything from any legislator I ever write to.

Oregon? Have you ever been to Idaho? Oregon is a mess compared to it. I feel sorry for Colorado and all the millions or NR that hunt there.

Washington, oregon, and California are what I consider west coast states. It has the least amount of animals rights activists/anti hunters on its wildlife commissions.

Not sure what Idaho has to do with my comment?

 

[87TT]

Stand corrected.

California 2.0

 

[Michael Rankin]

Washington and Colorado do seem to be having a contest who can be the most like california

Or didn't vote at all, I know people that don't vote but yet they hunt.

You need people like them. Most of them have a tremendous amount of experience in wildlife, natural resources and game management. Don't believe everything you read or see on Fox news. I've worked with these people and they are no more dangerous than seasoned personnel at the USFS, BLM, USFWS, NPS and so on. Dissent, open mindedness, transparency and accountability on both sides is what we need in all of our state and federal wildlife agencies. It belongs to all of us.

Even if every hunter voted, and the same way you do...

We're a very small minority of the population.

... and they're both losing!

 

[Ucsdryder]

This is disappointing…but you know what’s more depressing? The fact that there is NO end in sight. We can weather a one sided battle, but not a one sided war. As long as the leaf lickers in Boulder and the retards in Denver keep voting, we will keeping seeing this every 4-8 years. Sucks…

Let me guess, california is the model right? Because that’s what california did, and now there are more bears and lions than deer. They don’t even give out depredation permits anymore for lions. This kind of thinking boggles my mind from a “hunter”. Don’t believe everything you hear at BHA get togethers while enjoying crafts beers in pint glasses with all the other adult onset hunters.
