Wildlife Management | Science & PolicyBy Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management | savethehuntcolorado.com This post
We are a grassroots hunting advocacy movement dedicated to defending hunting rights, wildlife conservation, and science-based wildlife management in Colorado. For decades, Colorado’s sportsmen and women have helped sustain healthy ecosystems, thriving game populations, and sustainable outdoor traditions through regulated hunting, fishing, and trapping. Today, that legacy faces challenges from anti-hunting ballot initiatives and efforts to replace proven wildlife management practices with emotion-driven policy.
We focus on the public’s best interests for maintaining a century-old track record of our natural resources, including wildlife, fisheries, habitat, and working farms and ranches.
Our goal is to enhance, promote and defend the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and responsible wildlife management.
At the close of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the early pioneers of today’s sportsmen’s conservation community faced huge challenges. What emerged was the The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. This doctrine is the world’s most successful system of policies and laws to restore and safeguard fish and wildlife and their habitats through sound science and active management.

A 2024 ballot initiative that sought to ban hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx in the state. Colorado voters rejected the measure, signaling support for continued science-based wildlife management practices. Opponents of Prop 127 argued that banning regulated hunting would remove key tools wildlife professionals use to keep predator and prey populations in ecological balance. They emphasized that professional wildlife biologists and agencies like Colorado Parks and Wildlife should make technical decisions about population control and ecosystem health, rather than through a ballot initiative.
