Hunters and anglers are vitally important to Colorado Parks and Wildlife and to the successful management of Colorados wildlife. Sportsmen are directly affected by the agencys fish and wildlife management decisions and provide much of the funding for wildlife conservation in the state. Colorado Parks and Wildlif e encourages effective channels for consulting with the states hunters and anglers through the Sportsmens Roundtable and Regional Sportsmens Caucuses.

The Sportsmens Roundtable is a statewide panel comprised of 16 statewide members appointed by CPW and at least two delegates from each of the four Sportsmens Regional Caucuses. Members meet in person twice a year to help the agency by sharing information, discussing important topics and identifying emerging issues or concerns. The four regional Sportsmens Caucuses hold meetings twice a year that are open to all local hunters and anglers to discuss regional issues that are then shared with the statewide Roundtable.

The Colorado Sportsmens Roundtable is made up of individual members who represent a broad range of interests related to hunting, fishing and trapping in Colorado. These interests include, but are not limited to, small and big game hunting, sport fishing, outfitting and other sportsmen-dependent businesses.
