This is the full force of the anti-hunting agenda coming to fruition and it's time to reengage. Host Dan Gates lays out the multi-faceted approach from the anti-hunters that we're facing currently and that will all align - coming to a head this year and next to end hunting. Led by the Polis administration, their agenda aims to dismantle Colorado Parks and Wildlife and all forms of consumptive use through more ballot box biology, eroding 125+ years of science-based wildlife management, stacking the wildlife commission, agenda driven working groups and more. We cannot afford to lose at any level - We showed what was possible by defeating 127, now they need to feel the full force of this community. Step up and get engaged or we will lose hunting forever; we will lose wildlife conservation.
