That is wild life harassment and according to Colorado Pen. Code Sec.5 21-B 9 I Made that Up) LOL! is punishable up and to the point of beheading.LEAVE THEM POOR LITTLE CRITTERS ALONE!

You wouldn't want them critters being afraid of humans would you? Why they may not come up on your porch and eat out of your dogs food bowl ifen they was a scared. No matter if the eat Fido, scare the beejeesers out of Grandma you can't chase them. And for goodness sakes don't take any more of those videos of your friends hitting them in the butt in the tree with snow balls, because that falls under Sec. 521-B9-1SB, and that is really serious crime. LOL!

colorado has it own precious rules it aint what it used to be for starters colorado has really no idea how to manage game but they do know how to collect money and make deposits in the bank and sell tags if your looking for a new state to hunt i would pass colorado up. there is a chase season on coon im in the middle of the state coon not real good hear but a few good luck. no on bobcats too
