On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission voted 6-4 to advance a radical citizen petition that seeks to ban the commercial sale of native furbearer pelts and parts. Despite a strong showing of “blaze orange and camo” and a recommendation from CPW’s own Director to deny the petition, the Commission has moved this proposal into the formal rulemaking phase.
This is a direct assault on our heritage and the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Here is why this decision is a dangerous precedent for every hunter, angler, and trapper in Colorado:
The May 6-7 meeting in Grand Junction will be the next critical juncture where the specific language of the proposed rule will likely be introduced for public comment.
Now is the time to stand firm. This isn’t just about fur; it’s a defense of our outdoor heritage and the scientific integrity of wildlife management. We must remain united and vocal to ensure that Colorado’s traditions aren’t dismantled by those who value ideology over biology. By showing up, staying informed, and speaking with one voice, we can protect our traditions and lifestyle for the generations of hunters, anglers, and trappers yet to come.
