PROGRAHS <br /> <br />Program Titl~: G~me Wildlife Program <br /> <br />Target Public:~hThe primary clients are resident and non-resident <br />license buyers ,.:and children who engage in hunting. and fishing <br />activities. However, all Colorado residents and visitors to this <br />state are potential clients. A recent survey indicated that 44% <br />of Colorado residents are occasional anglers and 17% are occasional <br />clients for hunting. During calendar 1977, 942,556 licenses were <br />issued to resident and non-resident sportsmen--il1ustrating their <br />willingness to participate and financially support the Game Wildlife <br />Program. In addition over 350,000 children (non-licensed) are active <br />participants. <br /> <br />Purpose: The purpose of the Came Wildlife Program is to provide <br />today's sportsmen and future generations the best possible hunting <br />and fishing experience. In so L./ing the Division will strive to <br />maintain populations of all wildlife (mammals, birds, fish, and <br />related groups) possessing sport hunting and fishing qualities. Long <br />range objectives have been established for major species groups. <br />These objectives relate to wildlife populations, wildlif~ habitat, <br />wildlife harvest, and recreation opportunity (days). Objectives and <br />current status of harvest and recreation is as follows: <br /> <br />Harvest <br /> <br />Recreation Days <br /> <br />1983 <br />Objective <br /> <br />Current <br />Status <br /> <br />1983 <br />Objective <br /> <br />Current <br />Status <br /> <br />Big Game <br />Sma 11 Game <br />Fish <br /> <br />125,000 <br />1,800,000 <br />23,000,000 <br /> <br />90,000 <br />1,500,000 <br />15,250,000 <br /> <br />1,600,000 <br />2,000,000 <br />11 ,000,000 <br /> <br />1,125,000 <br />1,500,000 <br />8,000,000 <br /> <br />Program Title: Nongame Wildlife Program <br /> <br />Target Public: All Colorado residents and visitors to this state <br />are potential clients of the Nongame Wildlife Program. In a recent <br />wildlife use survey 64% of Colorado residents indicated they were <br />at least observers of wildlife. <br /> <br />About 90,000 persons indicated their willingness to support the <br />nong~me wildlife program through personal contributions on the <br />illCOm0.2 lelX Cllcck 0[[ during 1977. Children are, of course, clients <br />of the nongame program. <br /> <br />Purpose: The purpose of the progr:1m is to perpetuate all non-game <br />wildlife in Colorado as members of the ecosystems. Recovery of <br />l\lrc~tcllcJ ~\nJ cnJ~ngcrcJ nun-game wildlife and development of natural <br />areas where people might observe and otherwise enjoy nongame wildlife <br />are important phases of the program. <br /> <br />25 <br />
