Summary

Aron welcomes Dan Gates to the podcast. Dan works with CRWM or Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management. They are one of the groups leading the charge against emotional wildlife regulation that have been plaguing Colorado as of late. As a 501c4, they operate as political advocacy group that have a direct line to the capitol and work with many of the other conservation groups that many of us are a part of. They discuss the past and present struggles that Colorado has had regarding wildlife regulation and the ballot based management decisions.

0:27.5	Good morning everyone. It's still a blizzard outside. I believe it's negative 37 today, this fine morning, but that means it's a good time to do a podcast and I have someone I've fallen along with for a while who's doing great things for the state of Colorado. I've obviously recently moved out of Colorado and I'm fairly happy about that which this podcast will explain that a little bit better but
0:35.2	Dan Gates is trying to make a difference with what's going on so Dan thanks for
0:39.8	coming on the podcast.
0:44.0	Well thanks a bunch Aaron really appreciate the podcast. Well, thanks a bunch, Aaron. Really appreciate the opportunity.
0:46.0	Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm glad to get, I wish I would have been able to get you on earlier.
0:49.6	It's been pretty hectic for both of us and you've got a lot of stuff going on so
0:55.1	It's a lot of people will probably listen in now
0:59.5	Put it as bluntly as I can Colorado's kind of going to shit.
1:03.6	And when I say that as far as hunting
1:06.1	and for hunting and outdoorsman,
1:08.3	it's a shame to see the Colorado I remember
1:10.4	from years ago is definitely not what it is now.
1:13.6	And one of the more recent problems
1:15.8	is the reintroduction of wolves, depending
1:18.6	on how you feel about that.
1:20.0	And then now they're trying to band Mountain Lion and Bobcat hunting and obviously the hounds as well.
1:28.8	So Dan, why don't you tell everyone what you're about what's going on and then we'll
1:34.0	kind of dissect it after that.
1:37.0	Well it started a long time ago when we tried to do the very things that you left the state for and to try to keep people
1:46.8	apprised of what was going on and try to have an imprint on the landscape, some sort of a footprint. And so I'm the executive director for the
1:55.1	Coloradoans for responsible wildlife management. We started that organization back in
1:59.7	2016. We are a 501c4 organization, which means that we do political advocacy work like what's coming up with a ballot initiative and we also do public education as well.
