Attn: Sportsmen and Women, Farmers and Ranchers, Trappers, Outdoor Enthusiasts and General Conservationists
By now most of you are aware of the most recent Attack on our Hunting Heritage and Scientific Wildlife Management here in Colorado. Attached you will find Senate Bill 22-031 that is the most recent Assault on our Heritage which attempts to Ban the Harvest of Bobcats, Mountain Lions and Lynx which are protected in Colorado anyway.
While the outpouring of our community has been broad and enthusiastic the Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management has been strategizing and formulating a significant plan of opposition to be implemented in incremental and calculated steps to defeat this and other measures that are waiting to be launched in the immediate future.
We are asking for any and all SUPPORT including but not limited to phone calls, emails, remote and possible in person testimony which could be in the very near future along with helping us on the Funding Component on this major undertaking.
Partnering with dozens of other organizations and entities in State we are confident that we will be victorious in this endeavor but it is an ALL HANDS ON DECK task that needs to be addressed in a collaborative, direct and precise manner. On top of what we have already accomplished including what is currently being acquired additional Funds that are generated will be utilized in an integrated, comprehensive, legislative education and representation campaign that we have been dealing with since our inception in 2017.
We are the only Colorado Sportsmen Organization that has not one, but two lobbyist at the Capital and throughout the course of the year.
While we have a Go Fund Me Page link below:

We need each of you to write and call the following Legislators. Please be brief and very respectful:
Tell each legislator that you OPPOSE SB 22-031. Tell them that you support Colorado Parks and Wildlife and their ability to manage our wildlife and make scientific decisions regarding our wildlife.
