Will Hunting Remain Relevant To Conservation?

[Doug Hamilton]

No, the antis don’t care about anything or anyone except ramming their extreme views and agendas through legislatures and vilifying those that disagree with them. However, with regards to the revenue ($3.25 BILLION/year) Colorado receives from hunting/fishing (mostly big game), even the antis wouldn’t be able to convince the majority electorate to replace that amount with astronomically higher taxes to eliminate hunting HERE. Others states, maybe not so fortunate.

I hope you're right. I used to hunt there with a muzzle loader and loved it. My cousin and his son live there and are out on a hunt now. My son-in-law, his dad and brother all live in Washington but are in Colorado hunting right now. We all love the state, but you can never underestimate the influence of the animal rights fanatics. Logic, reason, and even economics aren't part of their discussion, and they can be very persuasive with the non hunting majority.
