The Colorado County Wildlife Management Association is composed of six different WMAs that each occupies a certain area of the county. In order to join, the first step is to figure out which WMA territory your property is in.
Wildlife Management Association – Colorado County WMA
For 15 years, the Colorado County WMA has been educating landowners on the benefits of good land management, helping agricultural producers understand how to be better wildlife managers. At each meeting, speakers are invited to address topics of interest, such as aging deer on the hoof, turkey management, wildlife census and prescribed burning. As a result of their collective efforts, members are reaping the benefits of better quality deer, improved wildlife diversity, and enhanced ranch income. Currently, members are cooperating in a breeding chronology study for the county. The WMA has provided $48,000 in scholarships to students and donates funding to assist local volunteer fire departments. Many members are MLDP cooperators who use their tags to provide hunting opportunities for youth and others in the community.
Landowners are responsible for turning in their harvest data sheets byFebruary 14th, 2012. Late membership dues for 2011 are also due on this date. Failure to turn in harvest data sheets and dues for the past season will result in the landowner being dropped from the membership list of their individual WMA’s and the CCWMA. Regardless if deer were harvested or not on your property and regardless if you were issued doe permits; all members MUST turn in a completed harvest data sheet indicating your harvest or “no harvest”. Harvest data sheets are available on our website @ ccwma.org.
