I was just looking for Colorado revenue info and came across a fear monger report assessing the costs of climate change in Colorado on skiing. It says that in Colorado skiing is $2.0 billion annually and they predict a 1% reduction in ski industry as a result of climate change equaling a $375 million revenue loss and 4500 jobs by 2017, and they are panicking!
Now lets look at hunting and fishing in Colorado it is $1.6 billion annually and I predict a 2 - 5 % decline in hunting annually if the democrats vote on a gun ban. We can blame that directly on separate Colorado fronts the state house, the governor and nationally the two democrat senators. Maybe that decreased potential hunting revenue info will make the news, maybe the democrats will be blamed and maybe they will fear for their jobs, or, maybe not? I think we should write our state house and national senators and let them know that we will be telling all of our out of state hunter friends to go somewhere besides Colorado that is more gun friendly to hunt and spend money like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho or Alaska. Even if we don't want them to go elsewhere, I think the fear of a possible Colorado hunting boycott will scare them in their tax revenue wallets, and that's all democrats understand. They don't think gun nuts are smart enough to organize something like a hunting boycott, but if they start hearing rumors, who knows.

I already started a few years ago, I found a place I enjoy hunting much more and its a shorter drive then to where I hunted in CO. But they wouldnt care, then they would just say "we no longer need legal hunting rifles lets ban them as well".

My dream was to hunt Colorado. After a few Colorado hunts I realized that Colorado is more concerned about regulation and collecting fees than hunting. I have since moved my hunts to Wyoming, Nebraska, Texas and Missouri. In my opinion these states are more hunter friendly and appreciate your business more than here.

The labyrinth of laws in CO keeps me from hunting here. Wyoming is vastly simple and worth the few extra bucks...

Done deal - good idea.
