Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4
Colorado's new director (Jeff Davis, who last worked in Washington) has publicly stated or stated in closed meeting and released by others that this Mutualistic approach will either lead CPW's overall mission or at least have some impact on it. At the same time however he stated the No. American...- MaybelNellie

Sheep show anyone
Take from my mistakes, make sure to stay at the peppermill casino and hotel and not a cheaper off site place. The conv center is where the expo, seminars and <1 club deal is, but all the banquets/dinners are at the peppermill. Makes it easier to change outfits between the expo and banquets...- MaybelNellie

Sheep show anyone
Show was a blast as usual and great folks all around. The money that changed hands was simply unreal this year. Also had a nice chat with @Big Fin. Spent a bit of time talking to CPW's lead ungulate biologist at RMBS's table also. Never knew he was such a sheep nut.- MaybelNellie

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
No doubt some are getting the message, but still run into maybe 1 in 4 hunters even at shows that don’t agree with us that this will not end with cats. It’s going to take a solid and very persuasive political campaign, and disprove their bad science. Think also we need to take the high road...- MaybelNellie

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
Oregon's overall non-hunter to hunter killed numbers percentage-wise look similar to CPW's figures as presented by CPW's carnivore biologist last week at the Commission Meeting. COEngineer: you may have already seen/attended this meeting, but the trend in Colorado would follow to some degree of...- MaybelNellie

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
@Oak - Appreciate your response and guidance. Fully agree with the non-combative nature of any communication to appointed officials and never would do so to staff, however from someone who was guilty of standing on the sidelines and only contributing funds on the wolf vote, I have fully heard...- MaybelNellie

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
Based on this CSU conference attendance by the man who appoints our commissioners, seems prudent we immediately confront Director Davis then. Next meeting is this coming week. What's the focus question ? For me its how do you support the North American model and Mutualism at the same time? We...- MaybelNellie

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
Oak - You said in your last Sportsman roundtable write-up that Jeff Davis, while still a bowhunter and an angler, said that CPW still supports the North American model but will be moving to the mutualistic side. Did he say how he is going to accomplish both? And, would you recommend via email to...- MaybelNellie

Excluding Hunting/Hunters from Wildlife Management - Episode 1 of 4
First post ever, but this topic has to be as good as any to start. 30+ years hunting Colo and Wyo and not a social media guy, but here goes. Just finished all four episodes. All the talk on every forum is all good, but we need a plan and a focus. And, the focus needs to be on the Lion...- MaybelNellie
