Come cover the next chapter in CPW's fight against deadly whirling disease in trout
Next week in Salida, a Colorado Parks and Wildlife aquatic biologist will lead a crew of volunteers from Trout Unlimited at CPW's Mount Shavano fish hatchery in clipping fins off about 20,000 three-inch rainbow trout.
This tedious undertaking is part of our groundbreaking research efforts to develop a whirling disease-resistant stock of wild rainbow trout in the Arkansas River and other rivers and lakes statewide.
It's a follow up to our news release last Thursday about our big breakthrough in the fight against deadly whirling disease in rainbow trout.
Starting Feb. 25, our staff and volunteers will sit and snip fins of small trout for hours a day to prepare these rainbows for release into the wild in a few weeks. By snipping a fin, our biologists will be able to identify these fish as adults when they survey the river in the fall. They will weigh and measure them and determine if they are surviving, thriving and reproducing in the wild.
In past years we have clipped fins in blizzards and always in the unheated hatchery. Our volunteers sit bundled up in front of large kerosene heaters, dipping their hands into freezing water to grab tiny trout to snip the fins.
Here's a link to our whirling disease page if you want to know more: https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/WhirlingDisease.aspx
If you have any interest in covering a fin-clipping event Feb. 25 at Mount Shavano Fish Hatchery in Salida, please contact me.

High water forces Lake Pueblo to close South Marina boat ramp
PUEBLO, Colo. – Due to sharply rising water levels, the staff of Lake Pueblo State Park will be forced to close indefinitely the South Marina boat ramp beginning this weekend.
This means any boater wanting to enter or exit the water must use the park’s North Ramp, which remains open for now. Park staff is closely monitoring water levels at the North Ramp, which has never closed for high water in past years.
“Longtime fans of Lake Pueblo State Park know this tends to happen in wet years and when there is heavy snowpack in the mountains,” said Monique Mullis, park manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “We went through this in 2015, 2016 and 2018. And we’ve been anticipating it again this spring. When the water levels recently jumped a foot in five days, we knew this was inevitable.”
The ramp closing is not the only impact. Already, park staff was forced to close vehicular access to South Fishing, Bogg’s Creek, North Picnic and N-1 Cove day-use areas. The lower gate to the sailboard day-use area is closed and the main lot may be closed if a retaining wall is breached.
Kettle Creek Campground, scheduled to open in May, is being monitored closely.
Park officials are hopeful the situation will improve after April 1 when the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation starts releasing winter water storage. Another noticeable draw-down will occur by April 15 when the water level will be at the elevation of 4880 feet, the top of the conservation pool. At this elevation, many of the shore access points are open again, but with very limited space for parking.
Lake Pueblo State Park officials expect access to the South Marina boat ramp will resume in early to mid-April.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages Lake Pueblo State Park on property owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. The bureau built Lake Pueblo in 1970-75 as part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas water diversion, storage and delivery project. It provides West Slope water to upwards of 1 million Front Range residents, primarily in southeastern Colorado, as well as agricultural irrigation.

New five-year GPS collaring study launched to help with Front Range elk management
[VIDEO] Watch as crews place the first collars out on the elk for the study
DENVER - Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists and wildlife officers have launched a five-year elk collaring study to obtain data that will help to better manage the Clear Creek elk herd.
Over 40 GPS satellite collars will be deployed on cow (female) elk across the herd’s range to better understand elk movements, reproductive rates, migration patterns and habitat use.
Capture work will be accomplished with helicopters and ground darting and trapping. The location information from the GPS collars will help inform wildlife managers of possible management strategies related to herd management plan objectives and habitat use. Elk locations will also aid land management agencies in land use planning decisions.
Project work is being done in collaboration with private landowners, city and county open space departments (Jefferson and Boulder Counties), United States Forest Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
“This project will help inform local management decisions. What we’ve noticed in the last couple of years is that elk are spending more time on open space and golf courses,” said biologist Ben Kraft, who is spearheading this project. “This project will help develop management strategies at both the local and herd level. Determining when and where elk occur and how many will there are is the first step in mitigating some of the issues CPW and land managers and owners are currently experiencing.”
Capture work started in Golden on Dec. 19 on the Club at Rolling Hills and Fossil Trace Golf Club. Work then shifted to Rocky Flats with the USFWS and will move along to the other locations. The team is hopeful to get all of the collars out by the end of March 2021.
The main purpose of the collars is to help us collect baseline data on elk distribution and obtain better estimates of vital rates on the herd.
“CPW hasn’t conducted a collar study on this elk herd,” Kraft said. “What we know at this point is that distribution is changing, so we are trying to get a handle on that change and the interaction with land use and the Front Range’s growing human population.
“As previously mentioned, another goal of this project is gaining a better understanding of demographics of the herd. As is the usual practice in most areas of the state, we can’t fly to classify and survey these elk, so using collared elk as “Judas” elk when we conduct ground surveys in Februarys will give us a better idea of recruitment and in which direction the population is trending.”
The collars will give locations twice a day, but if we have other management objectives, say we are looking at how trails impact distribution, then we can get more frequent data in those areas. It will be tailored to the specific sub-herds we are investigating.
Previous studies collaring elk in Estes Park and Rabbit Mountain on Boulder County Open Space have taught us a lot about distribution and land use.
“We’ve learned not only what the current distribution is, but we’ve seen shifts in elk distribution in real time as land use has changed,” Kraft said. “We know that elk are really adaptable to all kinds of factors on the landscape like recreation, development and open space areas have become a really big magnet for elk herds.”
Deciding on what management tactics to implement once we get a clear picture from the data can be a hard question to address.
Hunting is our No. 1 management tool, and it has proven very effective in urban areas and on open space.
“We’ve done that up north in Boulder County on Rabbit Mountain and have been very successful implementing those kinds of public harvest programs,” Kraft said. “So I think in these areas, and specifically on Jefferson County Open Space, I think we can implement some of those management strategies and the main push for that would be to redistribute elk back to the west so they are not forming resident herds in the foothills along urban interface areas. Trying to get them to get back into more of a natural movement and migration pattern is the primary goal.”
This growing urban elk herd creates human safety concerns, causes damage to agricultural operations, presents challenges for herd and disease management and we are seeing habitat degradation across the landscape. Damage done by these urban elk herds can be costly.
The golf courses in Golden are seeing tens of thousands of dollars in damage from the elk each year, as over 100 elk feed on the courses year-round. Some Golden residents have brought concerns forward to CPW staff about the safety of their children, pets, landscaping and traffic safety when elk are in their neighborhoods.
The first elk collared in the study was on Dec. 19 on the Club at Rolling Hills
“As the elk continue to move east, there is growing concern for human safety,” said Wildlife Officer Jerrie McKee. “I-70 lies just a half mile to the east of where the elk now commonly travel.”
And that takes us back to one of the primary objectives of this study - distribution. What can we learn from their movement and can we try to redistribute the elk back to the west out of town where it will be safer for both them and the people.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife enters next phase of 'Live Life Outside' campaign with 'Conservation Starts Small'
Ads like the one above will appear in print, outdoor, and online ads as part of CPW's
'Conservation Starts Small' campaign.
DENVER, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is entering the second phase of the Live Life Outside campaign it started in 2019, designed to help the public better understand and engage with the conservation mission of the agency.
The second phase of the campaign is Conservation Starts Small , an attempt to bring conservation down to a smaller and more relatable scale for people to more easily participate in. The campaign includes a series of print, outdoor and online ads. Conservation Starts Small highlights the little things anyone can do to help with conservation while living life outside. The new ads point to things like keeping dogs leashed, staying on marked trails, not feeding your snacks to wildlife and cleaning up used fishing line as small things individuals can do that make a big difference.
“It’s a message to start small and live life outside responsibly,” said Tony Gurzick, Marketing and Creative Services Manager for CPW. “It helps us reach people where they are in their everyday lives and ties into the larger Live Life Outside campaign by creating opportunities to talk about the deep connection between recreation and conservation.”
“Whether you enjoy hiking, hunting, bird watching, rock climbing or any activity in between, we all need to work together to conserve the resources that make Colorado home,” said Gurzick.
For more than 120 years, CPW employees have been entrusted to protect the natural resources of Colorado. The agency’s mission charges staff with handling the large scale, ongoing conservation efforts around the state; such as preventing the spread of nuisance plants and animals; managing threatened and endangered species reintroductions and recoveries; maintaining and improving fish and wildlife habitat; conserving Colorado’s 960 species and managing 41 state parks and hundreds of state wildlife areas across the state.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is self-funded by the fees received from hunters, anglers, recreational vehicle registrations and state park visitors. Those groups financially support the conservation efforts of the agency along with the Colorado Lottery, Great Outdoors Colorado and federal grants.
As the state’s population grows, so does the pressure on our natural resources. This growth also brings social issues like crowding on trails and unsafe encounters with wildlife. The time is right to start asking Coloradans to take simple steps to help protect our natural resources for future generations.
The campaign messages are easy things individuals can do on their own, be it backyard or backcountry. Or they can join the agency in their efforts by volunteering, staying informed through CPW social media or practicing the Care for Colorado principles developed by Leave No Trace and the Colorado tourism office.
About the Live Life Outside Campaign
In 2019, the need for a tagline and strategic campaign arose as CPW sought avenues to remind Coloradans of the importance of conservation and responsible recreation as a part of enjoying the Colorado outdoors.
CPW’s tagline, Live Life Outside highlights the passion and lifestyle of the agency and the Colorado outdoor community, while creating an opportunity to talk about the deep connection between recreation and conservation.
A recent report from CPW and Southwick Associates shows the $62.5 billion economic impact of outdoor recreation in our state, with 92% of residents claiming to recreate outdoors. These numbers make it clear that the wildlife and wild spaces of our state are the reason why so many of us choose Colorado as a place to work and play. However, Coloradans’ shared appreciation for the outdoors also comes with a responsibility to conserve our natural resources.
Colorado provides so many opportunities to Live Life Outside. To learn more about volunteering with CPW and supporting conservation through outdoor recreation, visit livelifeoutside.co . Or show how you “Live Life Outside” when you post on social media by using the hashtag #livelifeoutsideCO.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife Welcoming Questions and Comments from Northwest Colorado Residents at Feb. 21 Regional Sportsperson’s Caucus Meeting
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - Anglers, hunters, and any other interested members of the public will have the opportunity to provide feedback and have their questions answered at a Feb. 21 Northwest Region Sportsperson's Caucus meeting in Glenwood Springs. Starting at 7 p.m., Caucus delegates will be convening at the Glenwood Springs Recreation Center to discuss important issues related to hunting, fishing and trapping opportunities in the region.
“We encourage residents to come to this meeting and have their voice heard,” said JT Romatzke, NW Regional Manager. “This is a great opportunity to provide feedback on the numerous and important matters that have come up this year.”
Northwest Region delegates will share public input from this meeting with Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Dan Prenzlow and the Leadership Team at the Feb. 29 statewide meeting in Buena Vista.
Each year, CPW seeks to provide more opportunities for anglers and hunters to weigh in on wildlife management and recreational issues. The Sportsperson’s Caucus, formed by CPW in 2012 and consisting of elected and appointed delegates from each of the state's four wildlife management regions, meets regionally twice a year so that local residents can easily engage in the management of their natural resources. Statewide Roundtable meetings also occur twice a year.
While the NW Region meeting will be led by Caucus delegates, CPW officials will be there to address any questions and provide additional information.
“Not only is this meeting an opportunity to provide feedback to our agency and let us know what issues matter most to you, it’s also your opportunity to get the facts from us as subject-matter experts,” said Romatzke.
Some topics that may be addressed at the meeting are:
The West Slope mountain lion management plan
Crowding and recreation impacts on natural resources
Hunting and fishing opportunities in the region
Partnership efforts
Updates on the Basalt Shooting Range
Discussion will be opened to the floor at the end of the meeting.
For more information about the Sportsperson's Caucus, visit the CPW website .
Who: NW Region Sportsperson’s Caucus
What: Regional Meeting
When: Feb. 21, 7 p.m.- 9 p.m.

Hunting bans of life, 20 years for Florida men who pleaded guilty in poaching operation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Thanks to an anonymous tip to Colorado's Operation Game Thief Hotline, two Florida hunters who illegally killed mule deer and pronghorns will probably never hunt in Colorado again.
The suspensions of their Colorado hunting privileges come after their 2018 guilty pleas to participating in a poaching operation that claimed at least three mule deer and six pronghorn in Elbert and Lincoln counties.
A Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission hearing examiner ruled Tuesday, Feb. 11, that a 20-year suspension was warranted for TImothy C. Draper, 33, of Bunnell, Fla., after he pleaded guilty in 2018 in Lincoln County Court to a misdemeanor charge of illegal possession of three or more big game animals.
Draper was sentenced to two years supervised probation and forfeited all weapons and equipment used in his crime. He also paid a $2,100 game penalty and a total of $4,213 in fines and court costs.
A lifetime ban was issued by the CPW Commission hearing examiner against Lawrence J. Cowart, 30, also of Bunnell, Fla., after he pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2018, in Lincoln County Court to willful destruction of wildlife, a class 5 felony.
Cowart was sentenced to three years probation, forfeited all his firearms and equipment used in his crime. He paid $2,440 in fines and court costs. Draper and Cowart also surrendered the trophy heads of the illegally harvested deer and pronghorn.
CPW Commission hearing examiner Steven Cooley had some tough words for the two poachers.
“Lawrence Cowart’s crimes against Colorado’s wildlife were committed intentionally and with complete disregard,” Cooley wrote in his findings. “Mr. Cowart has a history of violating wildlife laws in his home state of Florida and in North Carolina. His most recent wildlife violations in Colorado are considered among the most serious of criminal activity against wildlife, where an animal is killed for its trophy parts and the meat is abandoned to waste.
“Given his history and escalating criminal behavior, Mr. Cowart is viewed as a threat to Colorado’s wildlife. Although he expressed remorse during his suspension hearing, his repeated criminal actions against wildlife do not reflect this.”
Cooley was equally unmoved by Draper’s claim that his involvement was minimal compared to Cowart. He noted Draper “expressed little remorse, or accountability, for his actions.”
“Timothy Draper has repeatedly demonstrated a deliberate lack of regard for Colorado’s wildlife,” Cooley wrote. “His actions are not viewed as hunting, but rather as outright poaching, done without any valid license, or outside established hunting seasons.
“Mr. Draper is an adult, experienced hunter who could have stopped his criminal conduct at any time. But, instead, he continued to kill big game animals and transport the heads and antlers back to Florida. There can be no tolerance for Colorado’s wildlife, and wildlife laws, to be abused and disrespected in this manner.
The suspensions end a poaching case triggered by a tip to CPW’s poaching hotline Operation Game Thief from a member of the public.
CPW officers Ben Meier and Logan Wilkins launched a lengthy investigation of Cowart and Draper, who were in Colorado working jobs in the energy industry. CPW amassed evidence the men killed deer and pronghorn – simply decapitating some and leaving their torsos – and shipped their heads to a taxidermist in Florida for mounting.
CPW worked with Colorado Springs Police Department, the Limon Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in developing the case.
“This case is a great example of the work our wildlife officers do on a daily basis,” said Frank McGee, Area Wildlife Manager for the Pikes Peak region. “We pride ourselves on our law enforcement work. And it shows our commitment to stopping poachers.”
Anyone who has information about a possible crime against wildlife is encouraged to call CPW or report it anonymously to Operation Game Thief. Witnesses can reach Operation Game Thief several ways including by calling, toll-free, 1-877-COLO-OGT (or 877-265-6648). Verizon cell phone users can dial #OGT. Or send an email to CPW at game.thief@state.co.us .
Callers do not have to reveal their names or testify in court. A $500 reward is offered for information on cases involving big game or endangered species, while $250 is offered for information on turkey and $100 for fishing and small game cases.
A Citizens Committee administers the reward fund, which is maintained by private contributions. The board may approve rewards of up to $1,000 for flagrant cases. Rewards are paid for information that leads to an arrest or a citation being issued. To learn more about Operation Game Thief, visit the CPW website .
