Victory!

[NASA]

On behalf of the hunters of Colorado, I'd like to express thanks and gratitude to those of you that did the right thing and signed our petition. The proposal to ban prairie dog hunting was solidly defeated by a unanimous 9-0 vote. The various petitions opposing the ban generated almost 8,000 signatures. Your signature helped us win, this time. But the Animal Rights Activists aren't through yet. They are threatening to push this ban onto the November ballot. This will involve a whole different strategy than just signing a petition. I hope we are up to the new challenge.

Thank you, again, from the sportsmen and women of Colorado.

but keep repeating thie message WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! One unrelated thing that might help us (Colorado) is that there is a move to make it much more difficult to change the State Constitution. If we had had this in place before they couldn't have eliminated spring bear hunting by making it unconstitutiional.

Not from Colorado, however, thank god that whole thing was defeated. I am from California, so how can I help.

but it may be just a temporary one. The enemy will not rest. Google "Pairie Dog Pals" and you will find a lot of active anti hunter information and sites also. They seem to have a lot of money to work with. I go on PETA's site also once in a while to see what they are up to. We may win, but it is always a uphill climb. They were working to eliminate or at least slow down trapping here in Minnesota. I do not trap, but I belong to the MInnesota Trapper Association. Darrel Go to www.pairiedogpals.org
