Draft Herd Management Plans - seeking public comment
Traditionally, Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff have presented one Herd Management Plan at a time for approval to the Parks and Wildlife Commission. In order to address the large numbers of HMPS that need to be updated, staff have taken a new approach to develop a Regional roll-up of all HMPs in a CPW region for a single big game species to update or establish new population and sex ration objectives. The Regional plans also describe the significant management issue for herds within each Region, what public input was used to develop proposed objectives, and the individual HMPs for each herd.
Northeast Region Pronghorn Herds
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is seeking input on the draft Herd Management Plans for seven pronghorn herds occuring in Northeastern Colorado. These herds include the PH-1 Escarpment, PH-4 Sandhills, PH-30 South Park, PH-35 Kiowa, PH-2 Hardpan, PH-33 Cherokee Park, and PH-36 Laramie River Valley. CPW is proposing new management objectives fo PH-1 Escarpment, PH-4 Sandhills, PH-30 South Park, and PH-35 Kiowa, while proposing extensions of recently approved management objectives for PH-2 Hardpan, PH-33 Cherokee Park, and PH-36 Laramie River Valley.
Please review the draft plans and email your comments to Lance Carpenter by August 3, 2024.
