    California D3-5 Possible Changes

    I am a 5th generation Californio who's family came there during the gold rush. My family has always hunted and fished and spent lots of time doing that.

    New Anti Wolf Initiative

    I emailed and called the group circulating the petition and got some mailed to me. I got people to sign them too. We had a chance and IMHO we blew it, so no more complaints about wolves roaming around Colorado. I also sent them money too.
