One of the best editorials for #YesOn83 yet
“CWEPA is willing to support 83 and say, “wildlife resources are best protected, enhanced and managed by science-based wildlife professionals and 83 will protect the state’s wildlife resource, ensure management decisions remain guided by science and continue to perpetuate the wildlife resource of this State for current and future generations.” CWEPA asserts 83 will “further the ability of employees to work” in wildlife management and provide a future for those who want to build a career in wildlife management. CWEPA includes wildlife officers, terrestrial biologists, wildlife technicians, administrative assistants, aquatics, education and outreach staff, all of whom want a future for young people and wildlife.
I would rather trust the wildlife management process than have to protect it through a constitutional amendment, but I’ve seen how well that’s going. When the wildlife professionals themselves take such an extraordinary public position, I’m all ears. Anything but a yes vote would be preposterous, man.”
Thank you Rachel Gabel and @DenverGazette

Let’s do this Colorado!
Amendment 83 Gaining Momentum in Colorado! 🚨
The November 3rd election is now only TWO weeks away, and Amendment 83 continues to gain strong momentum to make Colorado the 25th state to provide constitutional protections for hunting and fishing.
In recent weeks, numerous coalitions, organizations, and associations have come out in support of the Right to Hunt and Fish ballot initiative. The Colorado Wildlife Conservation Partnership, an alliance of over 20 organizations that collectively represents tens of thousands of hunters and anglers from across the state, recently issued a position statement in support of Amendment 83. Additionally, the amendment is now also supported by the Colorado Wildlife Employees Protective Association, an association of current and former Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) employees and officers, and the American Sportfishing Association.
SCI remains in strong support of the initiative, supporting it both financially and on the ground through grassroots efforts with our partners. To get involved in this effort and help protect Colorado’s hunting and fishing heritage for generations to come, please contact SCI Western State and Local Liaison Keely Hopkins at [email protected].

Boom! It’s time for Colorado to join the other 24 states who have constitutionally protected hunting and fishing.
“Amendment 83 is about more than protecting hunting and fishing. It asks what foundation Colorado wants beneath its wildlife management system for generations to come.”➡️durangoherald.com/articles/c… #yeson83 #Colorado

Colorado voters will decide on November 3 whether the right to hunt and fish belongs in their state constitution.
Amendment 83 would create a constitutional right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife by traditional methods, and it would name hunting and fishing as the preferred means of managing wildlife populations. The state keeps its authority to regulate for sound science, public safety, and future hunting opportunity. Endangered species, nongame species, and anything illegal to hunt under federal law are excluded. Because it amends the constitution, it needs 55% of the vote to pass.
The measure lands in a state where hunters and anglers carry most of the conservation budget. Colorado Parks and Wildlife took in $225 million in wildlife revenue in fiscal 2023-24, and licenses, fees, and permits covered 64% of it. More than 1.7 million hunting and fishing licenses were sold in Colorado that year, and that license revenue funds most of the agency's wildlife work.
It also comes two years after Colorado voted on banning the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx. That measure failed by 11 points, and hunting advocates said at the time it never would have reached the ballot if the state constitution protected hunting.
Keith Mark, founder and CEO of @HunterNation, makes his case on The Bully Pulpit this week. His argument rests on what hunters hand down: a dad teaching his daughter to shoot, a mentor taking a new hunter out for the first time, and the obligation that comes with every harvest to respect the animal, use what you take, and leave the land better for the next generation.
Theodore Roosevelt built American conservation on the same idea, that the people who use a place well are the ones who look after it.

Vote YES on Amendment 83
Hunting isn’t a leftover privilege. It’s Colorado tradition — and hunters have always been the ones funding and practicing science-based wildlife management.
Amendment 83 would lock in a constitutional right to hunt and fish by traditional methods, make hunting and fishing the preferred way to manage fish and wildlife, and keep the state’s power to regulate for sound science, public safety, and future opportunity.
CSSA has formally endorsed YES on 83.
Now we need hunters, gun owners, and outdoor families to show up.
Donate. Share. Vote YES on 83.

I have been blessed to be raised in a hunting and fishing family. My dad, uncles and grandpa showed me the way of the woods and helped me to ethically harvest wild game that then fed our families, friends and neighbors.
I have been blessed to share those lessons and important heritage with my own children. And over 40 adults and kids that we have had join us at deer camp on our family’s farm.
This is my passion. And it has now become my purpose.
Protecting these cherished traditions of fair and ethical chase, responsible management, and humane use of our wild resources.
We care about the land. We care about all of the creatures that roam there and we do more for the environment, the well being of the animals, and the continuation of a legacy that has been handed down in America for generations, then any so-called animal rights activist.
We, the hunters, anglers, trappers, and 2A enthusiasts are the TRUE defenders of wildlife and it is our dollars, hard work and commitment to the traditions that carries them on.
On this National Hunting and Fishing Day, I am so proud to be called a Hunter, an Angler, and a TRUE conservationist.
May this incredible lifestyle and the memories made and time spent carry forward to the next generation.

It’s time for CO to constitutionally protect the right to hunt and fish. #Yeson83
Sat down with @TheAmberHarding and @Outkick to talk Colorado’s Amendment 83.
Hunting and fishing are legal today. Statutes can still be changed. A constitutional right can not.
83 protects the right, keeps science-based regs and CPW authority in place, and makes hunting/fishing the preferred management tool. It doesn’t roll back bans or allow trespass.
Thanks Amber for the great work covering these issues. Looking forward to making Colorado the 25th state with hunting and fishing protected on Nov 3rd!

#Yeson83 !
🏹🎣 Hunting and fishing dollars don’t stop at the field or the water. They flow through outfitters, retailers, hotels, restaurants, equipment providers and other businesses across Colorado, with an especially important impact in rural communities.
New CSI research finds hunting and fishing directly support:
$2.4B+ in annual business revenue
14,766 jobs
1,681 businesses and service providers
As Colorado voters consider Amendment 83, CSI’s 2026 Ballot Guide is breaking down the economic footprint behind the issue. Learn more: bit.ly/4rjJZGC

Bravo @POTUS Trump. We thank you for prioritizing hunting and fishing access - one of the most often sited reasons for people leaving the sport
@IOTRofficial and @IOTRAction
President @realDonaldTrump is opening up more federal land for hunting and fishing, making it easier for Veterans and those with disabilities to get outdoors, promoting robust habitat management practices, and ensuring Americans have unprecedented access to the great outdoors.

Closed out his bar tab with a bull.
In 1899, Colorado miner John Plute killed a giant bull elk, packed out the meat, and left the antlers behind.
He later went back for the rack to prove its size to his buddies. Legend says he eventually traded it to settle a bar tab.
Decades later, it became a B&C world record.
Colorado has entered the arena.
The YES on 83 campaign has launched, and the push to make Colorado the 25th state to constitutionally protect the Right to Hunt and Fish is on.
Whether you live in CO or you’re following from across the country, this fight matters. Another state protecting hunting and fishing strengthens the future of our outdoor heritage nationwide.
Help carry this message all the way to November. Colorado is next. Time to get it done. 🦌🎣

Colorado has a choice this November.
24 states have already constitutionally protected the Right to Hunt and Fish. Colorado has the chance to become # 25.
Hunters and anglers got it on the ballot. Now it’s time to finish the job.
CO—Vote YES to protect hunting and fishing. 🦌🎣
