Colorado Pdog Ban

[NASA]

Guys, I don't know if you've heard yet, but there is a proposition before the CO Wildlife Commission that would BAN prairie dog shooting in the entire State of Colorado, including on private land. On May 1 & 2 there is a meeting in Grand Junction where the COWC will be hearing arguments against the proposal. If this passes in CO, whose State is next?

If you would like to help us fight this, PM me your email address. I will send you our Newsletter and a copy of a form letter to the Commissioners. Our little coalition of concerned hunters is strictly a grassroots effort.  We don't have a battery of lawyers helping us like the Animal Rights Activists we are fighting, have behind them.  And we don't have the support of any popular predator hunting site, either.   We do have a thread running with a lot of useful info, though.  http://www.predatormastersforums.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=52808112&an=0&page=0#52808112


We need all the support we can get to fight the bunny huggers. We want to choke the Commissioners email inbox with hundreds of letters opposing this stupid attempt to legislate a ban on small game hunting.

If you can't show up in person in GJ, then emailing our form letter and putting your name on our petition is the next best thing. But an army of varmint hunters standing in front of the Game Commissioners on May 1st is a show of force that may prove to be our best defense.

Please get involved. I did. As an added incentive, we're offering free BBQ and beer after the May 1st meeting. I hope you will join us to fight the ARA's.

Help us Save Our Sport

Damn free beer - I wish I wasn't half a continent away Is theer anything that out of staters can do? Or are the petitions and form letters only useful if done by CO residents?

Steve, one of Colorado's financial goldmine's is revenue collected from out of State hunters.   So far, we have about 30 non-res hunters that have sent in the protest form letter to the Wildlife Commissioners.  One lives in Maine and comes to CO every year, just to shoot the Pdogs!

PM or email me your email addy and I will put you on distribution for what we have accomplished so far.  Thanks for your interest and concern.

"We need all the support we can get to fight the bunny huggers. We want to choke the Commissioners email inbox with hundreds of letters opposing this stupid attempt to legislate a ban on small game hunting"

"If this passes in CO, whose State is next?"

I agree 100%



NASA,
I clicked your link but all I got was an error message: File Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.
Some of us here are not members of pm but this is something we, as hunters and sportsmen, all need to be a aware of and concerned about.

                                        Can you possibly post the "useful info" here on FnF as well?





Edit: I will sticky this topic for the time being, so it will not get lost in the shuffle.

I got "File not found" too. For some reason it won't link to there from here. But it will link from the PM clubhouse thread.

Maybe this one will link to page one....

Anyway, it's under Varmint Hunting over there.

I'll PM you my address Tom.

Brad,
Thanks... that link worked for me.

I know I'm speaking to the choir here but good folks I feel we all need to get behind this.
Anti-hunting/shooting/firearms groups like to work this way... stealing our rights as sportsmen, a little at a time. 

It has to be stopped... Your/my hunting grounds could be their next target.

HaMeR you sound surprised

Get on your knees and click the link again, thats what I did. Let me right in. 

Tom shoot me your info, I'll sign it.

[HaMeR]

Not really. 

[NASA]

Jim, Brad, and everybody..........  Just PM me your email and I can get all this info to you ASAP!

I just finished a draft of the counter-top Petition we will be puting in sporting goods stores all over CO.  But. time is running out for us.  We only have about 21 days left to pull this together.

Jim- Would F&F consider giving this petition its endorsement?  We are collecting endorsements to display on the petition as a show of solidarity in the hunting, ranching, farming, and cattle grower community.

(I was given a severe case of warts when I had the audacity to presume another board might support this cause   )

[FinsnFur]

Not a problem Tom, by all means.
Be aware, I doubt I'll be able to go to Colorado and represent myself though.
