Dear Editor:
Hunting and fishing in northwest Colorado is a tradition that goes back generations to pioneering trappers and fur-bearers. Mule deer and sage grouse were once much more abundant than they are now and were hunted in greater numbers.
More recently, elk have expanded onto much of the range formerly occupied only by deer and pronghorn, and now the area is home to the largest elk herd in North America.
