Colorado to Enshrine Hunting Fishing in Constitution | Denver News

Colorado is poised to enshrine hunting and fishing in its state constitution, a bold move aimed at protecting these traditions against potential future restrictions from other states and “animal rights extremists.” With enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot and strong bipartisan backing, the proposal seeks to preserve wildlife management through these methods while acknowledging science and conservation. Supporters highlight the economic boost—billions in revenue and thousands of jobs—but critics warn it could lock in outdated practices and hinder broader ecological priorities like habitat restoration. The Secretary of State’s office is now reviewing the petition, and if approved, Colorado would join a growing list of states with similar constitutional safeguards.
