Colorado Imposes Daily Trapping Limits | Denver News

Colorado’s wildlife commissioners just imposed strict daily limits on furbearer trapping—only two of each of 17 species per day—despite staff arguing the rules aren’t needed since trapping hasn’t harmed populations. The vote was tight, 6-5, and even stricter than staff recommended. Critics say most trappers already take few animals yearly, making the limits symbolic rather than practical. Meanwhile, hunting groups are rallying for a constitutional amendment to protect hunting rights, as the state also weighs a ban on selling fur—fueling deeper tensions over how Colorado manages its wildlife.
