Politics and Preservation, What's Next for Colorado? w/ Dan and Karen Gates | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 177
In this week's episode, The Big Hunt Guys sit down with Dan and Karen Gates, or Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, to discuss the landscape of conservation and hunting after the January Prop 127 vote in Colorado. They also break down potential new legislation and ballot initiatives threatening the future of hunting in the state. The 2026 political year is shaping up to be pivotal. We discuss what’s really behind these anti-hunting pushes, how they could disrupt decades of conservation work, and what hunters need to know right now to defend their lifestyle and Colorado’s wildlife management model. In 2026, hunting and sound wildlife science under the North American Model of Wildlife Management will be under attack in unprecedented ways; we need to be ready!Check out Dan's Podcast, "Through the Gates": https://throughthegates.buzzsprout.com/ Help Support CRWM Here: https://savethehuntcolorado.com/suppo...
