A crowd rallied at the Colorado State Capitol Friday to speak out against a ballot measure that represents an existential threat to regulated hunting and sound wildlife science.⁠ ⁠ Proposition 127 is about much more than cougar hunting. It’s an attempt to use big-cat hunting to turn public opinion against nearly 60 years of wildlife science and conservation success. The ballot measure does this through clever wordplay by creating a definition for “trophy hunting” that is synonymous with hunting itself — a definition that could then be used, in Colorado and elsewhere, to eliminate any other type of regulated hunting.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #hunting #huntingseason #huntingtrip #colorado #prop127 #wildlife #conservation #outdoors #nature #mountainlion #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: dac.collins⁠ Story by: dac.collins
