A coalition of hunters and conservationists supports substantial cuts in the number of big-game hunting licenses proposed for northwest Colorado and believes even deeper reductions might be needed to help herds recover from a severe winter
sent Tuesday to the wildlife commission that they “wholeheartedly support the agency’s recommendations on license reductions and believe we have an alarming emergency” related to the long-term sustainability of the herds in northwest Colorado. The coalition suggested temporary reductions in licenses of more than 80% might be necessary to rebuild wildlife populations.
“Mother Nature bats last, and that’s bad news for Colorado’s big game populations this year,” said Gaspar Perricone, chairman of the wildlife coalition. “Addressing the issue now is the quickest way to recovery of previous populations. A delayed approach only prolongs that timeline.”
