Trail Based Recreation and its Impacts on Wildlife

  Abstract Trail-based outdoor recreational is often overlooked when considering human-driven changes to the Colorado Rocky Mountain landscape. But recent research suggests trail-based recreation may have a greater impact than originally believed. As population and participation in outdoor recreation continues to increase so does the demand for more trail and access to Colorado’s wild places. Trail-based recreation such as hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and ATV’s are shown to ...

A Bull for Dad

  BY JIM KIEDROWSKI   He got me hooked at a young age.  My brother and I were too young to hunt, but he got us involved every chance he had: scouting, tracking deer or sitting with him in a tree stand. We lived for that time in the woods with him. We anticipated every time he came back from the woods, hoping he had shot one we could go track. The anticipation was even greater when we waited for the first phone call after he came out of the mountains. We always hoped it was a successful call ...

Stream Access Case in Colorado Will Move Forward

A Colorado Court of Appeals in January 2022 ruled that a key public waters access case can move forward. BHA has been closely following the case and commended the court's ruling.  Mark Squillace, a professor of natural resources law at the University of Colorado Boulder, said the court's decision is a milestone in taking a public waters access case to trial - a milestone that could change how anglers access water in Colorado, a state with notoriously poor protections for public hunting and ...

Starting in the mid-2010s, the U.S. Forest Service stopped maintaining and protecting prescriptive access routes across a checkerboard pattern of public and private land on the east side of the Crazies. For the Forest Service, it had apparently grown too ...

Serve with your favorite vegetable on the side to give a nice balance to the richness of the meat. Gochujang, a chili paste common in Korean cooking, adds savory-salty heat to the dish. It can be found in Asian markets, some larger supermarkets or online like on Amazon.     Ingredients1 pound antelope or venison ...
