I've answered that survey for probably the last 10 years, the questions have always been the same, do you feel crowded, me-yes, the only question different this year was if I felt crowded by non hunters, me-yes. Has anything changed, me-no. Parks and wildlife do the surveys to make it look like we matter, it's all a formality.

I think that's a totally different survey than the normal post hunt sampling surveys. I didn't get one but I have seen season structure surveys in the past and they are quite a bit different. If you didn't get a survey I think it's still worth dropping a comment on what you would like to see here:

They gotta get more $ to "reintroduce and protect " those poor, fuzzy, helpless wolves ;-/
Let me say this I'm 100% against wolves and think it was a stupid for what they did. I'm watching colorado change so much before my eyes I hate it. But we have had wolves for years and years so I'm not to terribly concerned about them. I believe the wolves travel back and fourth from Wyoming and don't make Colorado there home 100% because the amount of people in the woods now. Just my opinion
I think us in Colorado really need to get on same page to fight the Mountain lion and Bob cat hunting trapping Bill. I think that will have more of an impact on wildlife. I'm from a place with cats and they will wipe out all the deer in a blink of an eye. That is scary that is what could be the end of hunting in my opinion so I really hope that doesn't pass.

Unfortunately the same people that voted for wolf reintroduction would probably want to stop all hunting-- if it goes to a vote, I'm sure it will pass. -- if it stays in the hands of sensible people we may have a chance.
I honestly don't know too many people that hunt or trap cats-- I do know some ranchers that protect their herd from them though.
Yes this sucks big time!! The cat bill is suppose to go up for voting like the wolfe which is stupid. When did we stop listening to the professional biologist and dow a out wildlife and listen to people who have no clue. I'm honestly preparing for the worse and end of hunting really in Colorado. I've seen this coming for years now

Voter propositions are the tyranny of the majority. I hate them. Arizona had one a few years ago that asked, "Should we increase the state marginal tax rate by an additional 3% on those who make over $250,000/year?" It passed by a slim majority but was thrown out in court. State government then passed a flat 2.5% tax, which caused me to keep my AZ residency and keep paying CO non-resident fees.
