The 2024 election season is over, and bowhunters were recipients of several major victories across the country this election. Florida secured the right to hunt and fish by passing a constitutional amendment in a landslide victory. In Colorado, 55.5% of voters opposed Proposition 127, which would have banned the hunting of big cats such as mountain lions, bobcats and lynx.
“This win in Colorado is a tremendous victory against anti-hunting efforts that are becoming more common in states throughout the country,” said Dan Forster, VP and Chief Conservationist for the Archery Trade Association. “The ATA was proud to sign onto a letter of support prior to this vote that supported Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife Department to manage the big cat population based on science.”
The state of Minnesota voted to support the continuation of state lottery funds to aid conservation efforts in the state for another 25 years.
