Summary

In this episode of Leupold’s Hunt Talk Radio, Randy Newberg meets with Dan Gates of Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management to discuss an effort to protect hunting and fishing in Colorado through a constitutional amendment. Dan explains how years of defending against ballot initiatives, legislative challenges, and wildlife policy battles have led Colorado’s conservation community to take a proactive approach by pursuing a constitutional right to hunt and fish. They talk through the importance of science-based wildlife management, the growing role of advocacy in conservation, and why hunters and anglers across the country should pay attention to what happens in Colorado.
