Ep. 207 "The Attack on Hunting" | Dan Gates & Sam Thrash
With November quickly approaching, all eyes are on Colorado and Proposition 127 which would prohibit the hunting of Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Lynx in the State. Anti-hunting extremists have pushed their way to the ballot box in one of hunting's most desirable States in an effort to suppress hunting through the uneducated voter. This "Ballot Box Biology" is devastating to any Fish and Game Department, and to hunters and any outdoors men and women who are actually educated in and responsible for carrying out proper wildlife management efforts. Many wildlife and conservation organizations have been diligently fighting this fight, with C.R.W.M. and Dan Gates leading the charge. Dan joins us for this episode to share the many issues that Proposition 127 holds, the long term detrimental impact it would have if passed, why cat hunting is a good thing, and much more. This is the line in the sand between hunters and the anti's, and a Proposition like this passing could cause a domino effect to other game species or other States. Even if you are not from Colorado, every hunter should be paying attention to this. Listen to this episode, share it with anyone you know in Colorado, and help educate others on why they should vote NO on Proposition 127.
