Wildlife Connections: Big Game Limited Licensing in the Gunnison Basin The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation relies on regulated hunting as a management tool. But what happens when some elk licenses in the Gunnison Basin are unlimited in the number sold – resulting in hunter crowding, ethical questions, management challenges and a lower quality experience for hunters?

Join Gunnison Wildlife Association, local wildlife advocates, and experts from Colorado Parks and Wildlife to discuss this important topic. We want to hear from you!
