What would Proposition 127 do?
See also: Text of measure
This initiative would define and prohibit trophy hunting as "intentionally killing, wounding, pursuing, or entrapping a mountain lion, bobcat, or lynx; or discharging or releasing any deadly weapon at a mountain lion, bobcat, or lynx."
Under the initiative, mountain lions would no longer be considered big game. This would have the effect of making mountain lion livestock incidents ineligible for big game damage claims made with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The initiative would make possession of a bobcat or lynx a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment.
The ballot initiative would make violations a class 1 misdemeanor and those convicted of violations would be prohibited from holding a wildlife license for five years. A person convicted twice would be prohibited from holding a wildlife license for life.
The ballot initiative would provide exceptions, such as killing a mountain lion, bobcat, or lynx to defend human life. It would also allow for non-lethal methods to defend livestock, property, or motor vehicles. There would be other exceptions for accidents, veterinarians, and special licenses
