In this episode of Through the Gates, Dan Gates delivers a critical update on Colorado’s ongoing wildlife policy battles—including an inside look at the fur bearer working group and the rising influence of animal rights extremists in shaping wildlife regulations. With Amendment 14 already limiting science-based tools for wildlife management, new petitions now threaten to ban the sale and use of all fur-bearing species in Colorado.

Dan unpacks how these campaigns, driven by emotion—not data—undermine the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Plus, get an exclusive preview of the upcoming Outdoorsman Days event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Colorado Trappers and Predator Hunters Association.
