Input sought on San Luis Valley big-game management

In response to public meetings held earlier this month, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking public comments about big-game management in the San Luis Valley and south San Juan Mountains (Game Management Units 80 and 81).

To comment, visit http://bit.ly/2v0fc7o. Comments must be submitted by Aug. 12.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists update big-game management plans every 10 years and rely on public feedback to evaluate numerous factors, including hunter perception, harvest history, habitat availability, agricultural conflicts, forest-management plans and social issues. All comments will be considered and combined with biological data to inform a revised management plan.

Planning will last about a year, and a draft of the plan will be presented to the public in the fall.
