What is Engage CPW?

Option 6 for both would be the best scenarios for actually managing our game animals properly. All successful hunters should also be required to submit post hunt data to the CPW, failure to do so would eliminate that person from applying again.

I’m a non resident hunter from MS. Next year will be my 24th season in Colorado in the Pagosa Springs area. Elk numbers seem to be drastically reduced over that period of time. Other than the wolf creek fire several years ago, is there any reason?

Hello, I would like to propose establishing a new type of licensing for a reptile "keeper". The CO regulations either allow for "regulated" or "unregulated" which are two extremes that allow for no middle ground. How would one propose that?

I would like to start a discussion regarding Heterodon nasicus, the Western Hognose snake. It's an amazing species and popular in the reptile hobby, I would love to own one some day and refuse to wild capture. Wild animals should stay wild, always.

Your office at Highline Lake in Loma, CO was closed the day that leftover Deer licenses were sold, they were supposed to be open. I lost out on that opportunity. I called several of your offices (regional & main) and no one cares.

I would like to see a discussion and change in the policies involving captive bred Hognose and Bullsnakes. I love both species and am interested in keeping them as pets. I am opposed to wild capture as it effects the natural population negatively.

We request a revision: the right to purchase and keep captive bred Heterodon nasicus and Pituophis catenifer sayi. No wild collection. An amendment would undoubtedly result in education and public appreciation for the natural environment. Thank you!

Hi! I would love to see a discussion on keeping/purchasing western hognose snakes, bull snakes and other native Colorado species of reptiles. They are native to many states but CO is the only one they're illegal in.

Hello!
I would love to see a discussion about the current regulations/rules regarding CO residents keeping/purchasing western hognose snakes. They are becoming popular in the exotic pet industry and I would love the opportunity to own one.

Would like to discuss updating regulations for owning captive bred, Heterdon nasicus and bull snakes. The regs written to conserve native species, and may have been effective historically, but now Colorado is the only state that doesn’t allow them

We love recreating on Beaver Lake! We buy our fishing liscense but we do not fish…when this was preserved for fishing only paddle boards weren’t even a thing! It seems that much more interest is generated by allowing paddle boards on this lake.

The Lake Christine area just above Basalt is used by locals who quietely hike to enjoy the peaceful area. It is similar to hiking in a wilderness area, where we humans can tread quietly, leaving no trace. Please allow use during the summer months.

Beaver Lake was purchased by CPW for the sole purpose of giving access to fishermen. The fishing experience has been ruined for most fishermen because of the daily circus of SUPs. Fishermen paid for this property--give it back to the fishermen.

Please allow human use of the Lake Christine area above Basalt in JunJuly - just put strict rules for hikers: no dogs, no mechanized equip, must stay on the trail. That should protect ungulates while allowing humans to experience nature. Chris Lane

Parks and Wildlife Management:
We need to be better advocates for "wildlife" (that is animals, as opposed to recreators and developers). Somehow we've got to make it easier for wild animals to claim their space, too.

Please limit vessel use on beaver lake to fishing. Let the lake heal. It has been over run the past few years. Needs time to restore.

We can coexist with wildlife. And fishing is a recreational activity which actually can be hard on the fish. Because there are too many people there; there will need to be some regulation.

Beaver lake management could be improved by implementing a fee based reservation system for residents and non-residents. Residents could have a reduced fee. The fee based use would pay for the supervision and reduce crowding

Re. Beaver Lake Marble: Unless better supervision of visitors can be managed, water/ lake quality continue to suffer and worsen. This area needs protection, and limited use by non-Marble-ites unless we can get more facilities, monitoring.

Beaver Lake is a valuable Wildlife habitat in Marble. Not only for fish, but for waterfowl as well. It was sold to the state for this purpose, absolutely not as a human recreational area. Period. Why have we allowed this human degradation?
