Herald Staff Report
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will hold a meeting about wildlife issues and the new big-game season structure from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the Eolus Room at the Durango Community Recreation Center, 2700 Main Ave.
In the first part of the meeting, local wildlife managers will provide an overview of wildlife-related issues. The remainder of the meeting will include a presentation and discussion of the big-game season structure.
Every five years, CPW evaluates all big-game hunting seasons and asks hunters for their opinions on if changes are needed. The new structure will be in effect for the 2020-24 seasons.
The meeting is also part of the statewide “Sportsmen’s Roundtable” process set up by CPW to assure that hunters, anglers and everyone who cares about wildlife can provide input and discuss issues with leaders of the agency.
A brief survey will be conducted at the meeting, so participants are asked to bring their smartphones. Hunters are also asked to complete an online survey at https://bit.ly/2ShXMPJ. The deadline to make comments is Feb. 11.
For more information, contact Joe Lewandowski at 375-6708 or [email protected].
