Despite what proponents of a ballot measure to stop the hunting of bobcats and mountain lions in Colorado claim, hunters say science is on their side. Several hunters reached out to this reporter after he authored an article last week about the so-called “trophy hunting” of bobcats and mountain lions. Initiative 91, on the Colorado ballot this November, would put an end to the practice. An organization supporting hunters, Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, said that the “trophy hunting” language is misleading, and in fact hunters play an important role in ecology.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.
