Public comment on the Colorado Wolf Reintroduction and Management Plan is pretty much over, and after the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting on February 22, 2023, it looks like Colorado's elk hunting future is uncertain at best, to down-right over as we all currently know it, at worst! From Chris' perspective, having worked across from – having to deal with – animal activists throughout his professional career in Colorado for more than 20 years, he's not too optimistic, and believes Colorado's elk hunting [possibly most, if not ALL, hunting] is nothing more than a "dead man walking" at this point.
In this discussion, Chris outlines:
– Why he thinks that;
– What his professional experience with animal activist groups is;
– His experience with what happens when activists drive public policy;
– What sportsmen can/might want to "do about it" with regard to the current climate of activism driving wildlife policy in Colorado.
