OTC Tag Changes in Colorado with Henry Ferguson

OTC Tag Changes in Colorado with Henry Ferguson

 

Show Notes:

 

Henry Ferguson is a longtime friend of mine and the President of the Colorado Bowhunters Association (CBA). Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently pushed for changes to the OTC tag system, and Henry and I break things down. Archery and bowhunting have become super popular, and there’s a lot of folks out in the woods right now. In a way, we’re victims of our own success.

 

Along with the CBA, Henry was pretty involved in the recent OTC rule changes. Here, we take a look at some of the pros and cons of the program changes and what it all means for the hunting community. Henry outlines the three options that were laid out on the table, and staying status quo wasn’t going to fly. According to him, they went with the lesser of two evils.

 

Henry shares what he believes are the benefits of the changes, many of which he says are yet to be seen. I play a bit of a devil’s advocate in our conversation and point out some of the potential pitfalls. Henry also shares some of the cons of the new rules and we talk about the future of hunting in Colorado and other states.

• Changes to the OTC system in Colorado
• Pros and cons of the changes
