TIME AGAIN TO BE BEAR AWARE, COLORADO

DURANGO, Colo. – Colorado's bears have awoken from their winter's nap and are again active throughout the state. Colorado Parks and Wildlife urges state residents in bear country to make sure they aren't providing any food attractants around residences.

By following some simple steps, we can all pitch in to avoid conflicts with Colorado's wildlife. Here are some tips to help keep bears out of trouble and away from your house:

-- Keep garbage in a well-secured enclosure.

-- Only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.

-- Take down all bird feeders -- birds don't need to be fed during the summer. Bird feeders are a major source of bear/human conflicts.

-- Attract birds naturally with flowers and water baths.

-- Clean garbage cans regularly to keep them odor free.

-- If you don't have secure storage, put items that might become smelly into the freezer until trash day.

-- Don't leave pet food or stock feed outside.

-- Never provide food for any wildlife.

-- Secure compost piles. Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food.

-- Fully enclose backyard bee hives and chicken coops. Electric fencing is an effective bear deterrent.

-- Allow grills to burn for a couple of minutes after cooking to burn off grease and to eliminate odors. Clean grills and grease cup after each use.

-- Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

-- If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to rot on the ground.

-- Keep garage doors closed.

-- Keep the bottom floor windows of your house closed when you're not at home.

-- Do not keep food or used-food containers in your vehicle,

-- Lock vehicle doors and roll up the windows.

-- Talk to your neighbors and kids about being bear aware.

Bears are constantly on the move, so residents are reminded that they only need to file a report with Colorado Parks and Wildlife when an animal is causing problems around your house or neighborhood.

Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales Unconstitutional

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2015/02/12/federal-judge-rules-ban-on-interstate-handgun-sales-unconstitutional-n1956685

Federal Judge Rules Ban on Interstate Handgun Sales Unconstitutional 

 

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor stemmed from a challenge to the ban brought by a Texas firearms dealer and a couple from the District of Columbia in July 2014.
The federal law prohibits a dealer from transferring a handgun, but not a rifle or shotgun, to an individual who does not live in the state in which the dealer's business is located. […]
Andrew and Tracey Hanson met with licensed firearms dealer Fredric Mance Jr. in Texas about buying two handguns, but did not complete the transaction because they could not take immediate possession of the weapons, according to court papers.
Federal law required Mance to transfer the handguns to a federally licensed dealer where the Hansons live, Charles Sykes in the District of Columbia, where they could complete the purchase after paying shipping and transfer fees.
The Hansons and Mance, all members of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, argued in their lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas that the ban limits consumer choices and infringes on their rights.

Armed deputy at Arapahoe High School stopped bad guy with gun

LaPierre was right: Armed deputy at Arapahoe High School stopped bad guy with gun

Full article here:http://www.bizpacreview.com/2013/12/16/lapierre-was-right-armed-deputy-at-arapahoe-high-school-stopped-bad-guy-with-gun-89055

December 16, 2013 by Janeen Capizola 41 Comments

Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, was repeatedly mocked, ridiculed and castigated by the liberal left media for suggesting there be armed guards in every school in the nation after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary one year ago.
Every word uttered by LaPierre became fodder for the anti-gun, crush the Second Amendment, crowd.
“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” LaPierre was blasted for saying.
“I call on Congress today, to act immediately to appropriate whatever is necessary to put armed police officers in every single school in this nation,” he said during the NRA press conference after the Sandy Hook shooting in December 2012.

Now consider the events at Colorado’s Arapahoe High School last Friday where heavily armed, dressed to kill, right wing hater Karl Pierson, 18, went on an 80-second shooting spree that ended with him taking his own life after “an armed deputy stationed at the school cornered him in the library,” the Washington Post reported.
Imagine that: the armed officer in the school stopped a bad guy with a gun.
It has to be so difficult for the mainstream media to report the facts in this case considering how the facts don’t fit the left’s usual narrative.

Pierson, “wearing a bandolier containing shotgun shells and carrying a pump-action shotgun, a machete and a backpack holding three Molotov cocktails — walked through a door adjacent to the library,” and in less than 80 seconds, had fired off five rounds, critically injuring Claire Davis, 17, who remains in a coma, before taking his own life, according to CNN.
The CNN report continued, with information from Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson:

The rampage might have resulted in many more casualties had it not been for the quick response of a deputy sheriff who was working as a school resource officer at the school, Robinson said.
Once he learned of the threat, he ran — accompanied by an unarmed school security officer and two administrators — from the cafeteria to the library, Robinson said. “It’s a fairly long hallway, but the deputy sheriff got there very quickly.”
The deputy was yelling for people to get down and identified himself as a county deputy sheriff, Robinson said. “We know for a fact that the shooter knew that the deputy was in the immediate area and, while the deputy was containing the shooter, the shooter took his own life.”
He praised the deputy’s response as “a critical element to the shooter’s decision” to kill himself, and lauded his response to hearing gunshots. “He went to the thunder,” he said. “He heard the noise of gunshot and, when many would run away from it, he ran toward it to make other people safe.”

DECOYS STOLEN BEFORE YOUTH SEMINAR; CPW ASKS PUBLIC FOR HELP

DECOYS STOLEN BEFORE YOUTH SEMINAR; CPW ASKS PUBLIC FOR HELP


DELTA, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking information about the theft of waterfowl decoys and hunting blinds from the Escalante State Wildlife Area near Delta on Saturday, Nov. 23. The wildlife area is located west of Delta.

According to wildlife officials, the decoys and blinds had been set up for a waterfowl hunting seminar which was to be held that afternoon. Colorado Parks and Wildlife had partnered with Ducks Unlimited members to teach kids and novices how to hunt ducks and geese. 

A white full-size pick-up truck was seen in the area of the theft at approximately 12:30 p.m. on that day. The truck had the word "Yenter" written in black letters diagonally down the door. The truck was occupied by at least two men and one dark-colored dog.

Approximately 60 duck and goose decoys had been set up on the ponds of the Escalante State Wildlife Area that morning in preparation for the seminar. Also stolen were three hunting blinds: an Avery pop-up blind, a Ground Force dog blind and a goose shell pop-up blind.  Many of the items stolen were the personal hunting equipment of a Ducks Unlimited member who was volunteering to teach the seminar.

"The theft was really disappointing because it had a negative effect on the hunting seminar," said Garett Watson, a district wildlife manager in Montrose. "Participants of the seminar were really disappointed to think that another sportsman was possibly responsible for the theft.  We had to scramble and borrow some decoys to use that day." 

Colorado Parks and Wildlife urg es the public to provide any information that may lead to the person or persons responsible. Anyone with information that can help in this investigation can call the Montrose Parks and Wildlife office at 970-252-6000, or contact Operation Game Thief, a wildlife tips hotline at 877-265-6648. Callers can remain anonymous and cash rewards may be given if the information leads to a conviction.

SPORTSMEN'S ROUNDTABLE MEETING IN GUNNISON, AUG. 29

GUNNISON, Colo. – All hunters and anglers who are concerned about wildlife and related issues are invited to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Southwest Region "Sportsmen's Roundtable" meeting, Aug. 29 in Gunnison.
      
The meeting is part of the statewide "Sportsmen's Roundtable" process set up by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to assure that hunters and anglers statewide can provide input, concerns and discuss issues with leaders of the agency. The Gunnison meeting will be the third in the southwest region related to the roundtable process.
     
In January, a panel of 24 sportsmen was elected and appointed to the statewide roundtable panel. Members represent every corner of Colorado. That group has met twice this year.
     
The Gunnison meeting will be attended by several southwest region Parks and Wildlife staff members and by at least four of the six southwest representatives to the statewide panel.
     
The roundtable members will talk about the work of the statewide group, the issues it is discussing and future plans. Agency staff will also talk about current issues and projects, and take questions from the public.
     
"The roundtable process is being led by hunters and anglers," said Patt Dorsey, southwest region manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "It's important that sportsmen and sportswomen in the southwest region provide input to their representatives and to the agency."
     
Anyone who is unable to attend but has specific questions or concerns can send that information to Joe Lewandowski, southwest region public information officer at joe.lewandowski@state.co.us, or call him at 1-970-375-6708.
     
The southwest region includes, roughly, the area from the Four Corners to the San Luis Valley, the Gunnison Basin, the North Fork Valley, and the Montrose-Delta area west to the state line.
     
The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 29 at the Parks and wildlife office in Gunnison, 300 W. New York Ave.

CPW OFFERS "MULE DEER 101" CLASS IN GRAND JUNCTION

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Every hunting season brings novice mule deer hunters into the field, eager to learn and have a successful hunt. For new hunters that may not have a mentor, or experienced hunters that are looking for an edge, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will host a free, Mule Deer Hunting 101 class, Tuesday, Aug. 27 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Hunter Education Building, 711 Independent Avenue in Grand Junction.

The seminar will cover mule deer habitat, biology, animal distribution, hunting strategies and hunting equipment. Regulations, field dressing techniques and recipes will also be discussed.

"In addition to the material covered, conversations and sharing of information is a beneficial part of the class," said Dick Severin, assistant Hunter Outreach Coordinator for CPW. "Students will have an opportunity to learn from hunting experts and from each other."

Colorado Parks and Wildlife believes many hunters don't participate due to a lack of mentors that can teach them the finer points of hunting. Through the agency's Hunter Outreach Program, seminars like Mule Deer 101 helps introduce hunting knowledge and traditions to a new generation of Colorado's sportsmen, including women and youth.

Registration is required and space is limited. To reserve your spot, call 970-255-6100 , or go to www.register-ed.com/events/view/35688

Who: Colorado Parks and Wildlife
What: Mule Deer Hunting 101 course

WEST RIFLE CREEK SWA SHOOTING RANGE WILL CLOSE FOR MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS

RIFLE, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is planning major improvements to the shooting range at the West Rifle Creek State Wildlife Area beginning Monday, Aug. 12. When completed, the improved range will provide Garfield County hunters and firearm enthusiasts with a safe, high-end public shooting area.

Scheduled work will improve access, parking and walking areas and includes the construction of several new rifle and pistol lanes. To allow for construction equipment and user safety, the range will be closed for approximately five to six weeks. The rest of the SWA will remain open to the public during the construction phase.

"The current range is not in the best shape and these improvements are needed," said Area Wildlife Manager JT Romatzke. "We are constantly working to provide the public with clean and safe shooting facilities and anyone who has used this range in the past will greatly appreciate the upgrades."

In addition to hunters sighting in their scopes and target practice for firearms enthusiasts, the improvements will aid local law enforcement agencies by providing an appropriate and safe area for firearms training.

Romatzke adds that minor delays pushed the construction start date close to the approaching hunting seasons, but says the overall goal will be worth any inconvenience.

"If construction proceeds as scheduled, we expect that shooters can resume using the facility by the end of September," he said.

The majority of the $150,000 project is funded with sportsmen's dollars in addition to a small percentage coming from federal excise taxes on the sale of hunting and fishing equipment.

During the temporary closure, shooting enthusiast can find an alternate range by visiting wildlife.state.co.us/Hunting/ShootingRanges/Pages/NWRanges.aspx

AUG. 1 DEADLINE NEARING FOR HUNTER OUTREACH PROGRAM MENTORED HUNTS

AUG. 1 DEADLINE NEARING FOR HUNTER OUTREACH PROGRAM MENTORED HUNTS

DENVER - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding women and youth interested in learning how to hunt big or small game - including deer, elk, pronghorn, upland birds or waterfowl - that the deadline to  participate in the agency's  Hunter Outreach Program is Thursday, Aug. 1, before 5 p.m.

Applications for the 'Women Afield' and 'Youth Hunting' hunts can be found at www.bit.ly/womenafieldapp and at www.bit.ly/youthhuntapp

The Hunter Outreach Program provides guidance and mentorships to novice women and youth hunters through various clinics, workshops, seminars and private-land hunts that instill the knowledge, skills, ethics and traditions of hunting.

"Hunting is a big part of Colorado's heritage and a very important part of wildlife management," said Hunter Outreach Coordinator Jim Bulger. "Many women and youth want to participate but do not have someone to show them how, so that is why these programs are so valuable to the aspiring hunter."

The Women Afield Program is designed to allow novice hunters and anglers to learn alongside other women in a comfortable environment. The program's summertime seminars and clinics cover basic shooting, fishing and archery skills in the classroom or range with plenty of "hands-on" experience. Although not required to participate, the clinics and seminars prepare them for the opportunity to apply for mentore d big game, pheasant and waterfowl hunts during the fall.

The Youth Hunting Program also provides inexperienced hunters between the ages of 10 and 17 with a variety of clinics and seminars. The mentoring and guidance during the clinics and hunts ensures that they have a positive, outdoor experience that can lead to a lifelong respect and enjoyment of the outdoors.

"Too many of our youth are not participating in healthy outdoor activities, and that is a concern," said Kathleen Tadvick, hunter outreach coordinator in Grand Junction. "Whether they are successful in the field or not, hunting is a powerful experience that teaches responsibility, ethics, outdoor skills, knowledge of wildlife, firearms skills and physical fitness, among many other positive attributes."

Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 can participate in in mentored big game hunts and youth between 10 and 17 are also eligible for mentored upland game and waterfowl hunts.

Hunt applications submitted to the Hunter Outreach Program are selected by random drawing. Successful applicants are offered a hunt by the outreach coordinator. If the successful applicant accepts the hunt, they are “booked” on that hunt and will be contacted by the Huntmaster in charge. If the hunt is declined, the hunt is offered to another hunter.
