Good Morning TM,
I haven't been on for some time, but didn't see this mentioned in threads upon search. After being defeated in committee at the capitol a couple years back. The Anti's are again on the offensive. Biology by ballot, BRILLIANT!

https://leg.colorado.gov/content/prohibit-trophy-hunting

They are again targeting felines, but with the wording it pushes us to the slippery slope. If this passes, it would spell doom for outfitters in Colorado.

Colorado is screwed. Even after seeing what wolves did to wildlife herds in MT,WY, and ID they introduced wolves. I noticed in this new idiotic law they included the lynx because it’s a endangered species in the lower 48 and will probably help them pass it.

Bobcats and Mt lions are on the CITIES list only because they are wild cats because ALL wild cats were put on that list. Both have expanded their ranges in recent years but the idiots want to manage wildlife with misguided feelings and ignorance to the facts.

Wasn’t it the Canada Goose crowd that had a fit over sustainability of coyotes when I’ve never heard of there ever being any shortage of them anywhere. LOL. The same reason they do bobcat studies so often if the studies don’t get done the AR clowns step in and file papers to stop the season claiming lack of population studies.

The AR idiots are one of the biggest dangers to wildlife today because they are clueless.

No, they are not clueless, they are slowly getting their way.
The mistake is thinking they actually care about the environment, and various species.

They love the IDEA of a happy, furry, frolicking wild animal.
Not the species as a whole, but just the idea of that idealistic individual.
THAT is reality to.them.

Plus, they hate people.

The same issue here in New Hampshire, It is reported that the Governor will no longer support the NH Trappers Association if they pursue and push for a Bobcat Season.

Kind of like someone doing a shakedown, you know like the village mobster walking into a new business and saying, "Nice place here, it would be a shame if anything were to happen to it".

We ski in CO and I like the state but the outdoorsman has been, and is, in trouble there. With wolves the general population does not care about the decrease in prey species. They see an elk or deer every once in awhile and that is good enough for them. They like the idea of wolves. You are part of the wilderness and wild. With trapping the general population doesn't care either. They can't afford fur so it doesn't affect them. House pet gets picked off here and there but not enough to cause an uproar by them.

The people that know the least or know somebody are the ones put in charge today the true experts are phased out because they are a threat to the idiots for what they know.

The problem is you don't have to move to Colorado their way of thinking is slowly moving to you.
