All American Hunters Win as Ban Against Mountain Lion Hunting in Colorado Fails





Colorado's Proposed Ban on Mountain Lion Hunting Was Rejected



Dear John,



On November 5, Colorado voters rejected Proposition 127, which sought to ban
hunting mountain lions and bobcats.



The Colorado anti-hunting initiative was about more than mountain lions or
even a specific state.This attempted ban should be a warning to all American
hunters that ant-hunting and anti-gun forces nationwide want to destroy our
firearms culture and hunting traditions.



About 55.5% of voters cast ballots against Proposition 127 representing the
first time since 1992 that Colorado voters have rejected a wildlife ballot
proposal. Fortunately, pro-hunting forces were well organized and able to
effectively message about Proposition 127 to the Colorado Electorate.



The Colorado measure ignored the fact that populations of lions and bobcats
are healthy and thriving, and hunting is carefully managed by Colorado Parks
and Wildlife.Furthermore, the sweeping language used in this Colorado
initiative could have been expanded in the future to ban the hunting of other
game animalslike deer, elk, and sheep.



Anti-hunting groups won't stop with this Colorado initiative. While Colorado
lion and bobcat hunters were the target on November 5, anti-hunting groups have
tried to ban, and plan future attempts to ban, the hunting of many animals in
other jurisdictions across the Country.


 


 

Hunters throughout America must understand that these types of efforts are
never about science-based wildlife management.Leftist anti-hunters and anti-gun
groups just want to remove hunters from the process of wildlife management and
destroy the American Hunting Traditions.



A ban on hunting your favorite species could be coming to your state next, so
hunters need to remain vigilant as we fight to protect opportunities for all
American Hunters.
