Founder and former president of the Colorado chapter of BHA is at it again. Here's his letter in the Denver post taking shots at Colorado Bownunters Association.
Hunters must speak up now to protect wildlife
Every five years, Colorado Parks and Wildlife revises its big game season structure, which determines how many licenses will be issued in various seasons for the next five years. That time is now, and if you are among the growing number of hunters who agree there are way too many of us out there in September (unlimited either-sex archery elk tags, plus deer, bear, pronghorn, grouse and muzzle-loading ), now is your chance to help spark needed change. Time is short, with the comment period ending Feb. 4, and I urge you to go online and fill out the opinion survey today. It only takes minutes.
Wildlife management in Colorado is dysfunctional, with science and public interest being overruled by politics and special interests. Please take this opportunity to tell CPW what we are seeing out there and how we feel about it.
If we who hunt in Colorado (residents and visitors alike) don't speak up, then self-serving groups like the Colorado Bowhunter?s Association will continue to have their way at the expense of the wildlife resource and the vast majority of hunters. (And by the way, I am a bowhunter.)
As a group, we hunters are unsophisticated when it comes to biology and politics, always seeking more opportunity while refusing to sacrifice anything for the long-term good. Now is our chance to change that sad history. Please take the survey.

Who reads the Denver post anymore? If I hadn't read it on another hunting page I'd a never seen it. Wonder who he was targeting, as his audience?
