Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking public comments about proposed big-game management plans for the San Juan mule deer herd and the Dolores River desert bighorn sheep herd in Southwest Colorado.
Comments must be received by Dec. 22.
Herd management plans are developed by CPW biologists and take into consideration several factors, including available habitat, population trends, hunting preferences, agricultural conflicts, wildlife viewing potential and recreation impacts.
The proposed plans are posted online at https://bit.ly/2qmPtWZ.
