I'm for boycotting any state with hunters that would allow its Fish and Game department to implement a wolf management plan that has the potential to severely impact big game herds.

Let's get with it.

I'm in, but I still fee the need to hunt.

Want to go to Colorado?



P.S.  It was a joke.    Lighten up a little.  We can disagree agreeably and still be on the same side.... I think.

Seriously, if you want to boycott Colorado then pick on liberal industries that support gun laws, etc. There are plenty of them. I just wouldn't boycott industries that I agree with like hunting outfitters.

Stop buying anything in Washington. We have Patty Murray and several other very anti-gun politicians.

I sure did!  :IBCOOL: In fact, I don't even live there anymore. Good riddance!

... I hope that people contemplating a hunt in CO are reconsidering that as well.
...

I am. I had planned to open my wallet big and start building points there. Now, I think I may save the money for other states. Curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

You can nitpik this issue to death;  but the fact of the matter is that the only way to make CO. listen is to vote with your wallet! No one here wants to punish biz in Co. big or small. You have to decide whether you are going to stand with your brother and sister patriots in the Constitution of the USA, or you're gonna ride in Bobcats subaru.

While I agree that a boycott of certain businesses in CO is a good idea the business that is most deservedly needs to be influenced is the Game and Fish Department. If all Hunters that would normally purchase a License boycotted the state by not buying that license that would eliminate revenue from the State coffers which is where the money needs to come from, not the small business that was struggling before this new gun control legislation and will now be struggling even harder to make ends meet.
Example if say 1000 non resident hunters did not purchase the non resident license at say 500.00 each there is $500,000 the state doesn't get without really impacting the small business that merely operates out of CO.
I admit I do not know what the price for a non resident license is or how many licenses are sold the numbers were for the purpose of an example only

Can't force someone to see the full danger, but I wont' be going to Colorado for anything. Wyoming maybe Huntings better there anyhows.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Maybe you two can set up shop down there and stay. There will be a vacancy or two where Magpul is presently located.

Boycott Colorado if you choose. But if is one of the best big game hunting states in the US and I will continue to apply for there.
