The Colorado Wildlife Commission gave
final approval for annual big game season dates, license changes and hunting regulations
at its meeting last week in Denver.
Wildlife living on the
rugged cliffs of Bighorn Sheep Canyon west of Cañon City will have more places to get a
drink of water next summer thanks to a generous donation from the Rocky Mountain Sheep
Society and a cooperative venture between the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the
Bureau of Land Management.
The Division of
Wildlifes research projects focusing on the decline of the states mule deer
herds are beginning to provide clues that may help scientists better understand and
perhaps even reverse the long-term trend.
