More than three decades ago, the NAMWC was showing signs of failing to meet the moment. Wildlife is certainly facing unprecedented challenges today that I didn’t imagine decades ago as an undergraduate wildlife student. ]]></description><link>https://www.protectcoloradosconstitution.org/post/the-right-to-hunt-302-gang-rolls-their-trojan-horse-to-colorado-s-door-don-t-let-it-in</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3c0a1d86775c31f8bdab23</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:27:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0f7b2a_705645627ad2428faba5594731796dfb~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_777,h_521,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>AG Morgan</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["Right to Hunt" Is Not About Protecting Grandpa's Fishing Trip: It's a Weapon]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hilgemann called these amendments “proven weapons in court and at the ballot box.” Outdoor Life talks about “case law,” “legal footing,” and making the fight “uphill and expensive.”

Hunting is legal. Fishing is legal. Trapping is regulated. CPW already sets seasons, tags, bag limits, closures, methods, permits, and enforcement.
