Hunters say they're boycotting Colo. over gun laws

So here's something RMGO or CSSA or another state organization could help us with. Compile a list of 2A-friendly, 2A-hostile and 2A-neutral companies in Colorado. I'd like to know what companies sponsored Morse, Hickenlooper, Hudak et al and what companies have fought this stupid legislation. Also, of the companies that gave to Hickenlooper and cronies, which ones were donating to both sides just keep from being trampled; I saw several businesses that seemed to donate to the likely winner in a given district (and sometimes to more than one in a district) regardless of political stance or affiliation. Perhaps they're worried about liability as trade to certain businesses dries up so they'd only want to publish the "pro" side and let us assume anyone not on the list is at best neutral.

DOW is reporting strong sales of non-resident tags.

Of course they are, most hunters I've met are all for the ban of "Assault Rifles" and high cap mags. They are too stupid to see the long term.

Here's where i'm at...
Big game yes, i'm buying a tag because 51 is in my back yard and I can't pass that up...
small game/fish nope, fuck em all...I'll go goose hunt and spend my money in NorthPlatte and kill a shit load more geese in less time. Plus the road trip gives me time to spend with my old man...

I'm sure they are "reporting" strong sales.

I have no reason to believe that they aren't reporting accurately. All of the pre-election polls showed Obama ahead and gues what? He won by a sizeable amount. All of the conspiracy theorists stated that the polls were a ploy and Romney was actually ahead and the media was just hyping their candidate. I'm not naive enough to always believe the media just as I'm not gullible enough to beleive all of the conspiracy theorists.

Just talked with an outfitter bud of mine on the western slope. He says DOW may just be covering their ass because chickenshitterlooper is in charge, and since he combined LOSER parks and recreation with Winning DOW then there is the reason for deception.
He said he has had at least a dozen cancellations so far. and the majority of OUT OF STATE hunters come to buy over the counter tags, so DOW is full of shit, and small towns like Kremmling, Craig, Yampa and others will lose alot of revenue.

Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the hunting "boycott" won't have a big impact. The attention span for the average person just isn't long enough. July 1 will come and go, and so will the out of state hunters in the fall. Personally, I think generally there's too much apathy in the population at large. The "you don't need 30 rounds to kill a deer" mentality is alive and well, even among some "pro gun" folks and most people just won't care that we can't buy 16 round mags in Colorado when they're drinking beer in hunting camp.

I also saw a report of Elvis working at a starbuck is Tuscaloosa

I guess we'll know when we look at final totals for hunting tags purchased vs Elvis sightings.
