PRIDE AND DISGRACE,

I have experienced the first part, now I want to experience the second. “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2

The Four Corners Air Quality Group is organizing a second public science forum September 12 in Durango to discuss methane and methane-related issues affecting the region. Air sampling completed during recent flyovers in the area found large methane fluctuations in the air.

September is National Preparedness Month (NPM).  If disaster struck today would you be prepared? Preparation begins with you and your family.  Do you have a plan?

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has released a video which provides state and regional hunting condition updates for the 2017 Colorado big-game hunting season.

The nearly 19-minute long video states that hunting conditions will generally be good across the state, with strong elk, deer and antelope populations.

Every hunting season, officers for Colorado Parks and Wildlife hand out hundreds of tickets for violations that cost hunters hundreds of thousands of dollars. While some of those tickets are for flagrant violations of wildlife regulations and hunting laws, many more are for minor violations that could have been avoided. 

Hunters are reminded that not only can they be fined for violations, they can also lose their hunting privileges in Colorado and the 44 other states that cooperatively participate in a nationwide wildlife compact agreement.
