DOW and Sportsmen to Discuss Issues in Rifle

The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) is hosting a meeting of the northwest Sportsmen's Advisory Group. The meeting will be held Thursday, Feb. 2 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Rifle Fire Protection District, 1850 Railroad Avenue.
 
Sportsmen's Advisory Group meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity for attendees to bring up any issues that they want the DOW to address.
 
"We don't head into these meetings with a set agenda," said Ron Velarde, DOW Northwest Regional Manager. "The goal is to let the public bring topics to us. We want to hear their concerns, comments, and questions."
 
Each of the four DOW regions has an advisory group. A statewide group is comprised of members from the four regional groups. Sportsmen's Advisory Groups were originally developed in 2003 to assist with preparing an equitable license fee bill for the legislature; however the success of the group led DOW Director Bruce McCloskey to call for continuing the public communication effort.
