Hunting elk and deer is a form of herd management, and as the data shows, the revenue states bring in from selling licenses improves their individual state budget.Д¬olorado has the countryвЂ™s largest population of elk.

WyomingвЂ™s percentage change in revenue from 1995-1998 was significantly high due to вЂњa large hunting removal occurred in 1988-1989, resulting in substantial losses of elk in the Northern herd вЂќ (Eberhardt 594). The lower increase of revenue means that there are less funds from the licenses to fund the stateвЂ™s wildlife and parks activities, and less revenue from hunters traveling to the state. Fish and Wildlife for the years 19 (Table 2) confirms that Colorado has historically had the highest revenue from hunting and fishing licenses (Looking at the numbers, just two years after the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone, Idaho and Montana already experienced significantly lower percentage change in the revenue from hunting licenses compared to Colorado.

Below, the National Hunting License Report by the U.S. As a note, wolves have not been reintroduced Montana but rather вЂњdispersed from Canada (in the early 1980s), making their way back into northwest MontanaвЂќ and вЂњbegan moving north and east into Montana from Wyoming and Idaho after wolf reintroduction in those states in 19вЂќ (This introduces an additional point concerning wolves migrating themselves into new states, voiding the need for reintroduction that will be addressed later. To solidify the financial argument, a comparison of the revenues of these states before the introduction of wolves will be made to post-reintroduction. And not having wolves is just one of the reasons this is true, but it is the reason that this argument is going to focus on. Proposition 114 increases state spending up to вЂњ$800,000 per year for the implementation of the wolf reintroduction planвЂќ (Ballotpedia), so the next issue to review is that of finances.Д¬oloradoвЂ™s profit is over 2 times that of Idaho, and nearly $20 million more than Montana, who, it is interesting to note has the second highest profit from hunting licenses in the nation.Д¬oloradoвЂ™s hunting and fishing licensing profits are leaps and bounds higher than any other state. The cost of bringing wolves to Colorado вЂњwill be paid primarily from hunting and fishing license feesвЂќ (rmfu), one of the areas that the wolves threaten the most. The profit that these states make from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses вЂњis the primary source of funding for most state wildlife conservation effortsвЂќ (U.S. Wolves are found currently in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, these being the three states with wolves that are closest to Colorado. But, with lower population density due to the prevalence of ranching and farming, the counties most effected have fewer people and therefore votes even though it is these communities that will be affected. Most of these cities are not in the range that will be receiving the wolves and, as seen in Image 1, those counties that will be directly affected are red. Those counties that did vote yes are as follows (characterized by their major cities): Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Breckenridge, Aspen, Telluride and Durango.

Looking at the Image 1 from the Colorado election results website, most of the state is red, or in opposition to the reintroduction of the wolves. 3, 2020, Proposition 114 passed with a 50.91% majority (Colorado election results) meaning that by 2023, the gray wolf would be introduced west of the continental divide in Colorado (.us). But why has more attention not been brought to the plights of ranchers and hunters, who supply the dairy/meat industries and bring revenues to the state respectfully? This argument will look at Proposition 114 and present numbers that are meant to encourage the reader to think twice about what Colorado has welcomed into its state, and most importantly, ask themselves why wolves. With campaign slogans like вЂњvote YES on Proposition 114 to reintroduce gray wolves in their rightful territories in ColoradoвЂќ (idausa) proponents of the bill appeal to environmentalists looking to reconnect the historic territory of wolves spanning from Canada to Mexico. This argument would like to know why, specifically why wolves are portrayed as a positive when there are so many negatives that donвЂ™t get enough attention. вЂњThis is a great victory for wolves,вЂќ said Michael Robinson, a senior conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, on the passing of ColoradoвЂ™s Proposition 114 to reintroduce the wolf to Colorado.
