Colorado Bill Bans Beaver Killing on Public Lands

Colorados House Bill 1323 proposes a ban on beaver hunting and trapping on public lands, aiming to preserve these rodents as natural firebreaks and water reservoirs amidst drought and budget issues. The bill faces opposition from hunters and trappers, who argue its an attack on all hunting. Governor Jared Polis remains undecided, while the bill awaits a hearing in the House Agriculture, Water, and Natural Resources Committee, amidst broader debates over wolves and wildlife rules.
