PROPOSITION 127 ( #91) Prohibit Trophy Hunting
The way this has been written up, once again, makes it sound like a great, humane idea. It's not. What we've witnessed with wolves will be played out again, but this time, it WILL impact the front range cities as well as rural communities. Let's place our trust in CPW to continue to successfully manage our great ungulate herds as well as our predators (big cats, coyotes, lynx, etc). Let's not make another ballot-biology mistake!
VOTE NO
This initiative creates a ban on recreational trophy hunting and commercial fur trapping in Colorado. According to Colorado Parks & Wildlife, hunting is one way in which the big cat population is effectively managed, and the populations at present are ideal. Animal extremists are using ballot box biology to scare voters about hunting and fi****ms, using misleading terms like “cruel death,” to accomplish other means, mostly anti-gun rhetoric.

We need every Colorado hunter, rancher, conservative, and rural resident to call and write your district representative and state Senator to stop this foolish "Trophy Bill" (No Mountain Lion hunting and no lethal kill of wolves - ever)! If this passes, it will ensure our Elk, Deer and Moose populations are devastated. Result = No Hunting!

You just can not make this up. Stupid is as stupid does!
I thought it would be a long time before we would be effected by this wolf introduction. I prayed that my sons and grandsons would figure out how to cope and live with them, when the time came. However, with a video-confirmed sighting right here in South Routt, I now found myself laying awake at 2am wondering if I should get up and check on our replacement heifers in the lower meadow, 2 miles from our house. Should we bring all the cows home? Should we just wait and see? Should we spend the money to prepare, using Don G.'s advice from his experience in North Park?
Then, this morning I read these articles! As one of my old high-tech buddies used to say....Y.J.C.M.T.S.U. Indeed, stupid is as stupid does!
Two wolves released on Dec. 19, 2023, in Grand County, Colorado, 2302-OR, a juvenile female, black color, 68 pounds, and 2303-OR, a juvenile male, gray color, 76 pounds, come from the Five Points Pack. According...

● Our first great-granddaughter Amelia with a second due in April 2024.

Her husband Nick left the USFS fire fighting service and is working full time in our ag and recreational business with Tyler and Owen. The three of them are an all-star team.
● I met a wonderful lady (math teacher and librarian) Bitsy Griffin from Texas and N.C. We are getting married on December 9th.
● We are very blessed to to be able to partner with the HY Cattle Company and the new Bear River Ranch owners to further develop their ag products and recreational services, which has helped Ty and the team grow both businesses.

Zoey is on the varsity basketball and soccer team doing great! Go Sailors! Josie...Well, she is just our amazingly brilliant, always funny - Josie!
● Tommy and Reagan moved to Bentonville Arkansas in a very nice community. They'll be missed on the Front Range but we are hoping that the hot southern summer brings them to the FCR next year for an extended stay 🤠🤗.
● The Meyers are the last pilgrams still living in Monument with Greg driving business for Accenture while helping to build a community chirch, and Yvonne ...Well, being Yvonne and positively impacting so many lives! Zeke is playing soccer and still wants to be a cowboy, with his big brother, when he can.
● Ty and Jenny are as busy as ever with 3 youngsters playing baseball, hockey, wrestling, hunting, ranching, and "oh my"...this list never ends. Jenny will deliver #4 in December. 😇🙏.
