By your username assuming you have a background in ecology what is your take on the population control arguments? Thanks.
I don't know the situation real well in Colorado, but you can control populations just fine without trophy hunting. I doubt any of those cats are overpopulated. Probably only coyotes are. If there are nuisance animals they can be selectively culled. Your DNR can make the determination and issue the permits.

Also, assuming the ballot language is pretty clean, I don't think it would impact existing nuisance control statutes much.
It's an unusual issue to have on the ballot. I wonder what spurred it? Some dumb dentist's hero shot with DJT Jr in the background?
