If you want to hear exactly how this win came together, listen to today's Rokcast with Dan Gates, the leader of the successful opposition!

There will be more fights to come but remember, we won this because we--residents & nonresidents, no-names & influencers, hunting industry big names & small names, and more-- got together and beat this!

Good job people!

Here's the episode:

Thank you all for fighting this as it pertains to all hunting here. I'll surely listen to this. Found this article today which just highlights the importance of this victory.

That is a strange article. Looks like they’re just going out of their way to confuse people on whether he shot the lion or not. Should be pretty black and white. Geez.

Thanks for sharing man!

Big victory! I did my best from Georgia, I called 8 friends who live in CO (none of them hunters) and was able to convince all 8 of them to vote no.

Great to see hunters from all over the world work together to shut this down.

@robby denning I don't tend to listen to podcasts so I apologize if you covered this but it may be beneficial to do one that outlines how, or if, hunters can use the ballot process to put the power to regulate wildlife exclusively in the hands of the DWR and biologists.

Huge effort by the hunting community! Colorado hunters working grassroots ground game talking to friends and family, non-resident hunters pitching in fundraising, hunting industry folks using their platforms and hunting organizations banding together to build a winning strategy. I am sure I missed something but it really gives me hope for the future of this hunting tradition that was so dearly love.

On the day of the election someone stole my "Vote no on 127" sign in my front yard. :mad:

On the news last week right after the election they showed a video of a lion walking down the sidewalk in a neighborhood here in the middle of the night. But that isn't all that uncommon around here. I was also wondering why there wasn't some kind of ad stating that passing 127 would be detrimental to your pets. That might have made some of liberal pet owners at least think about the proposition before voting for it.
