Colorado Voters Decide Hunting Rights | Denver News

Colorado voters face a pivotal decision this November as they weigh Initiative 302, a ballot measure that would enshrine the right to hunt and fish directly into the state constitution. Backed by major conservation groups and funded with $1.5 million in signature-gathering efforts, the amendment seeks to cement hunting and fishing as Colorado’s preferred, science-based methods for managing wildlife — under the North American Model of Conservation. While it wouldn’t legalize hunting endangered species or violate federal law, supporters argue it protects against future anti-hunting legislation and lawsuits, citing past victories. Critics, however, warn it could restrict future wildlife protections, create safety risks, and limit lawmakers’ flexibility — urging voters to reject it.
