Some of you may be aware of the mountain lion hunting ban going before public vote in Colorado? I really don't think the public is aware of the dire consequences to wildlife in Colorado if this passes! There have been a few TV adds in favor and against this controversial subject recently. If you live in the Denver area, here is your chance to attend a rally and tailgate party apposing this measure. Hopefully the local news channels catch wind of this rally and there is good attendance. Every hunter in Colorado should educate their friends and family about the negative impacts this may have on wildlife and wildlife management in Colorado.

Commentary: Can the Sierra Nevada bighorn dodge extinction? It may mean reining in another wild animal
The high peaks of the southern and central Sierra Nevada are home to a unique and endangered animal, the Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep. John Muir called them "the bravest of all the Sierra mountaineers," and indeed they have weathered both ancient and modern climate extremes, human-introduced...
