Full Statute Name:  Colorado Proposition 127: Prohibit Bobcat, Lynx, and Mountain Lion Hunting

Summary: Proposition 127 would have made it illegal to hunt bobcat, lynx, and mountain lions in Colorado. The measure failed with 44.53% voting yes and 55.47% voting no on the measure. According to the ballot language, "Proposition 127 would prohibit intentionally killing, wounding, pursuing, entrapping, or discharging a deadly weapon at bobcats, lynx, and mountain lions in Colorado. While the measure uses the term 'trophy hunting,' it bans all hunting, pursuing, or entrapping of bobcats, lynx, and mountain lions regardless of intent. Individuals convicted of any of these activities are subject to up to 364 days in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both, and a five-year prohibition on holding a license issued by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), with more stringent penalties for subsequent convictions."
