The Coordinator

Tim Berges

Tim has been with Fall Obsession’s Staff Team since 2018, and our Western Regional Coordinator since 2021. Tim is a Colorado resident, and is extremely well versed in the craziness of Colorado’s draw and OTC tags, along with the variety of hunting opportunities in his area. Tim lives with his wife and two (soon to be three) daughters, and has a passion for mentoring other hunters and outdoorsmen!

 

April, 2022

“Turkey Season”

Turkey Season is just around the corner. It opens April 9th and goes until May 31st for most tags. Make sure to buy your OTC tag and small game license so you can hunt coyotes if they happen to come into your calls. It is also time to practice your calling and pattern your shotgun. We have been seeing a lot more turkey shotgun shells on store shelves this year, so don't make excuses to not get out and hunt!

 

“Hunter's Safety Course”

Currently there is a bill in the Colorado State House to have Hunters Safety Courses in Public Schools for 7th Graders. Check out "Howl for Wildlife" at www.howlforwildlife.org/cohunterssafety to have your voice heard on the issue in a really easy way.

 

“California Wildlife Issues”

Currently there are 2 bills in various stages in the California House and Senate. Once again, check out "Howl for Wildlife" to learn more and let your voice be heard. The first is about the bear management plan (www.howlforwildlife.org/cabear2022) and the second is about wild pig hunting (www.howlforwildlife.org/ca_sb856)
