Hook & Bullet Crowd Goes Environmental in Colorado

Impending energy development of Colorado’s Roan plateau has hunters and fishermen teaming up with their erstwhile opponents — environmental groups — to protect remaining wilderness in the Rockies. “Fearing that energy development sweeping through the Rockies could permanently scar the landscape, hunters and anglers are forming alliances with environmental groups like The Wilderness Society and Sierra Club. The two sides, who have sparred in the past, are trying to protect such areas as northern Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, Wyoming’s Jack Morrow Hills and New Mexico’s Valle Vidal. ” From the Associated Press.
