Freepers should be cheering this move (as most probably already have the requisite licences). Once a critical mass of non-hunters (or, worse, anti-hunters) are traipsing through those woods, they will start to protest against hunters being there too.
Hunting is very expensive, time consuming and unsure in Colorado. For example, a hunter who wants an elk permit must draw one from a lottery. If he draws a winning ticket, he will be assigned to one of several zones and must go to that zone. It’s a real runaround. And last I knew (a few years ago), poaching by locals was also very common, after poaching enforcement was relegated to sheriff’s departments.
The way that it’s all set up there, by the way, the hunting guide racket is very big.
