WE ARE MORE THAN JUST FUNDRAISING
The Colorado Chapter is more than fundraising. That is a huge component of what we do, but the great thing about raising money is getting to SPEND the money on conservation projects such as habitat for Colorado Moose; Humanitarian projects like the Sportsmen Against Hunger program where we collect meat and food and donate on an ongoing basis to a dozen food banks and shelters; and the Education arm of our chapter where we are very active in the Archery in the Schools program. These are just a sample of what we do with the money we raise.
This is a work in progress, so if you see something that doesn’t work right or something you would like to see on our website, let us know. We are fortunate to have the Colorado Statewide Moose, Elk. Antelope and Deer raffle licenses and these are some of the most coveted tags in the country. We will draw a lucky winner for the Moose and Elk tag at our banquet March 3, 2018. We will draw the Deer and Antelope tags on June 2, 2018 at our summer event. Come to the dinner and see if you win or at least buy a few chances now on this site. GO SHOPPING!
God Bless our Men and Women in uniform and we thank all of you who have done so in the past.

Mountain scenery mingles with magnificent campgrounds at Ridgway State Park. Modern, universally-accessible recreation areas and the five-mile long reservoir make memorable days and nights.
Shhhh this is one of those secret places we western slopers would prefer not to share
We camped at the upper campground last fall. Loved it.

Here is a prime example of why we manage predators. These black bears can have a big toll on the cow to calf ratio on our elk and moose population. In an area with little elk and moose left due to high population of wolves and bears, it is time to do what we do best! Have you ever seen a cow elk so exhausted from trying to protect her calf, that her ears were drooping? Sadly we were slightly too late on this day.
Our area is overrun with bear and we cant even hunt them in the spring... stinks.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. - Albert Einstein
Happy Earth Day, Colorado!
Indeed. When I look deep into nature, I see the fingerprints of the Almighty Creator everywhere. I see the wonder and beauty of His hands. I guess that’s why I love nature so much. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)
Let us do our part, individually, to be good stewards of Earth.
And you ask yourself how could they kill such a beautiful majestic animal just for sport
Did u notice the mountain lion
I can remember those days living in Colorado. Sites just like that
Meg Lowrey This was such a great photo! Thought you would enjoy.

The Cheyenne Mountain State Park critter cam is catching lots of wildlife including this black bear. And it's a good reminder to Bear Aware. See lots of tips for staying safe and keeping bears wild at our website . . . cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/LivingwithWildlifeWildBears.aspxOur first bear, caught on camera, of the year. Please remember to be bear aware, especially when camping in the park. For more information on being bear aware visit CPW's website.

Is THIS Why Women Hunt? - Ron Spomer Outdoors
ronspomeroutdoors.com
Women hunt for the same reasons men hunt. Heritage. Free-range organic meat. Passion to interact as a functioning part of their environment.
I have always hunted, grew up hunting with my mom and grandma. I take my amputee daughter big game hunting and fishing..The moose is from Montana, had by lady horseshoer and my 5 year old son with me..Had to cut this guy out and get him out on the mules and horses...I still hunt, I have hunted multiple times alone, except for the mules ! It's all about how your raised for sure !

Signs of spring are everywhere! Here’s a pasque flower at Castlewood Canyon State Park. They're one of the earlier wildflowers to emerge in the spring and only bloom until May. You can find these native wildflowers in open forests at 8,500 to 11,500 feet elevation.
📷: Instagram's @rachael.y.goldman
I've been seeing them around Colorado Springs this week, at about 6000 to 6500 feet elevation. These are from Red Rock Canyon Wednesday.
Glad those are still there. All the signs of spring at my house blew away this week.
Big News: The Future Generations Act has passed the state legislature.
Director Broscheid would like to thank the people and organizations of Colorado that helped make this legislation a success. Thank you for supporting Colorado's parks and wildlife.
To learn more about the legislation, check out our website: cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/Future-Generations-Act.aspx
I'm happy this happened, saddened it had to. My dad worked for the Dow. He started when it was both back in the 50's. When they split, the Division of Wildlife was self sustaining. Parks began to fail, here is the result
2016-CPW announces fee raise 2017-less licenses are sold causing shortfall. Deer also overpopulate some cities causing cities to consider and allow “urban hunts” 2018-CPW announces fee raise because less licenses are sold causing a shortfall. Seems like a pattern.....
Excellent work Colorado!
Congratulations Bob and Colorado!
Congratulations Bob, great job!
So glad this passed!
Awesome job Bob!! Miss you at AGFD!!!
Great news!
Correct me if I'm wrong but this bill eliminates the requirement for a park pass to be placed on a vehicle? So how is park passes going to be regulated? The system already gets abused by people not wanting to pay now you won't be able to tell who has or hasn't paid?
I'm sad this third generation Coloradoan will no longer be buying fishing license. I pay enough with park passes, camping fees, boat fees..
Congratulations! Everyone who worked to get this legislation passed is to be commended!!
Where is the $2.3 billion contributed by wildlife viewing taken from out of curiosity?
Second that! Great news!
Joey Prechtl
Excited to announce that the Future Generations Act has passed the state legislature!
I can't see anything but belt buckles 😂
Instead of increasing the fees/costs to those of us who already support CPW, how about we create a new license that is REQUIRED for hikers, bikers, and climbers? It would be a whole new source of income for you all, (granted I'll give you 25% may already hold them) and wouldn't add insult to injury for the rest of us. Instead, there is not a SINGLE mention of them as a source of license fees, so the hunters and fishermen will continue to foot the bill for all of their impacts as well.
I'm sad this third generation Coloradoan will no longer be buying fishing license. I pay enough with park passes, camping fees, boat fees..
What does this Do? Is this the thing to increase the hunting and fishing licenses?
Dan, since you are on the council maybe you can show some of those dorks an actual muzzleloader and explain to them like they are three years old that .50 Cal. Is the barrel, NOT the ball! They just outlawed .50 Cal rifles that use .485 to .490 balls. They should consult with people who have actually seen a muzleloader before ruling them. Thank you!
Grow the numbers? To make it even more difficult for natives to hunt and fish in Colorado. Sure, I’ll support it. Let us guys foot the bull for the rest. It’s a money game and the little guy always pays the ultimate price.
Glad this is under way, great to see🙌 #FutureGenAct
Great job and exciting news on the Future Generations Act. All of Colorado will benefit.
Dan Gates thank you for all you do for our sport. I don’t think people realize how hard you fight for us. Thank you again.
Future Gen act!
Great job Dan !
Thanks for all you're doing😀😀😀
Hello
Great news!

If it pleases the crown may I feed my family without being raped ?
It's safe to say that we could not accomplish all that we do without the help of our volunteers.
Help us in thanking them! #NationalVolunteerWeek
Thank goodness for volunteers but NGOs and general public should not be counted on to clean up after the messes of others into the future for all of future time. Earth needs better stewardship and less trashing of the planet!
Thank you for all you do, CPW and Volunteers!! Wildlife, nature and wildness....my passions!!
Yes this is so good we are volunteers ate Steamboat Springs/Pearl Lake State park we are campground hosts at Pearl Lake and we just love doing it we will be there next month for the whole summer the people are great and the park is so beautiful!!!!
Thank you to all!! Much appreciation!!!❤️
Thank you!
This spring, help us keep wildlife wild.
If you encounter young wildlife, leave it alone and keep your distance.
Some folks are tempted to "help" a young animal by picking it up or trying to feed it. There is simply no substitute for their natural parents.

As always, for more info on how to keep wildlife wild, check out our website: cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/LivingwithWildlife.aspx
I got a young female fox that lives about 80 yards from my house. Never feed her or anything. If I am sitting outside or standing there she will come sit beside me or lean up against me. Her mom was the same way. She, or her mom before she died, won’t bother any of my animals either.
We adopted a rescue dog that resembles this red fox Cub. Cute!
Rita Fox Armstrong thats just precious. They say those FOXES are mean lol
Me looking at you saying have you lost your mind😅
Beautiful
Adorable.
He's so freakin' cute!!!!
Beautiful animal.

Happy National Volunteer Week! We would like to extend thanks to all of our hardworking volunteers.
In 2017, 6,134 individuals donated 334,864 hours of their time to CPW programs helping our agency complete its mission across the state. That is the staff equivalent of 160 full-time employees or a financial value of $8 million dollars donated to the agency.
Thank you, volunteers!
I was a volunteer between 2002 and 2005. Some of the most fulfilling and positive days of my entire life. CPW is the best ❤️
Thank you everyone. 👍💞

Native Colorado River Cutthroat Trout brood fish are being spawned now at the Durango hatchery; 1.1 million eggs will be collected by the end of April. After the eggs hatch, in about six weeks, the fish will be stocked in the high-country throughout the summer.
How is the fight against whirling disease going?
A little more gentle and perhaps a soft kiss at the end would be appropriate. #petagonnasueurass

If you are a last minute planner or you did not draw a turkey license during the limited draw, you still have an option to hunt.
