Won't do any good educating these people Elk. They are to busy getting high on fighting with other hunters right now and eroding their own liberties.

They have been so scared about some other hunter getting a shot at their buck they missed that the little snowball just rolled over the edge of the cliff.
 
Sounds like Wisconsin Coulda Gave KALIRADO a few for very little Money!

Anybody making Bets on How Much They'll Spend I Mean Waste on Wolves?
 
In KALIFORNICATED the Dept of Fish and WOLF-LIVES-MATTER spend more time and $$ monitoring/surveying WLM than taking deer herd surveys. The granola crunching tree huggers have infiltrated our PATHETIC state and are shaping the future of hunting. CRIMINAL

The budget request is posted in another thread. I believe it was around $500k in the first year. For outreach and stuff like that. Mental KY jelly.
 
For Sure For Sure!

I Wonder If They'll Cage a Bunch of them Up & Almost Domesticate Them Before Turning Them Loose again?
In my local forum, there was a post where someone new to the area complained that they had moved to this part of CO for the peace and quiet. BUTTTTTTT, their neighbor had 26 PAIRS of hybrids that kept them up all night.

That post went away.

Besssssie, You're a smart guy. What do you figure they were gonna do with 52 hybrids?????.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 8, 2021

DENVER - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is hiring an external facilitator and project manager to help guide the public involvement process for wolf reintroduction efforts. Colorado citizens voted Proposition 114 into statute in 2020. The statute directs the CPW Commission to develop a plan to restore and manage gray wolves in Colorado no later than December 31, 2023.

CPW’s request for proposals (RFP) for an external facilitator and project manager is now open for interested parties and the due date for submissions is March 19. Once hired, the facilitator will be contracted to run the Stakeholder Advisory Group and Technical Working Group meetings, statewide hearings, engagement forums and public comment opportunities in coordination with CPW staff and the Commission.

“We plan to gather feedback from all Coloradans and look forward to moving to the next phase of implementing Proposition 114,” said CPW Director Dan Prenzlow.

Applicants can find the RFP documents in the state VSS system at colorado.gov/vss. Interested parties can use the RFP number for easy search: 2021*009. The RFP title is “Project Management and Facilitation of a Wolf Restoration and Management Plan Public Outreach.”

Applicants with questions can contact Colorado Department of Natural Resources Purchasing Agent Jeanette Barrow at: [email protected].

About the public involvement process

1. Phase one will focus on building public awareness and obtaining input through an education and listening tour to understand issues perceived to be critical for success. This phase will ensure that CPW develops a robust process, while helping to understand public expectations for content and the planning process, developing trust for the process and identifying interested parties.
2. Phase two will be the process undertaken to develop the Plan.

Next steps
CPW will begin holding facilitated public listening sessions around Colorado this summer. All updates will be provided on CPW’s wolf management page, social media channels and Gray Wolf Reintroduction eNews.

So excited for Colorado to have wolves! Hopefully one day you’ll be able to hunt them.

The best is when those granola crunching tree huggers talk crap on you to your face for allowing your kids to have a snack size pack of Doritos. Mind you my kids eat a balance diet of heathy stuff. But they light up a cigaret and change their kids diaper mid smoke haha.
 
I thought Biden, during his first week of office, used an executive order to relist wolves on the ESA? I also thought Trump de-listed them by executive order in October. Anyone else remember this?

I thought there was a link on here. If I find it, I'll post it.
 
Here’s the new Woof Committees:
