A little over 1/3 of the land in Colorado is controlled by the Federal government and the sate controls more. The U.S.Forest Service (USFS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) control millions of acres of land that is open to hunting. There is also some substantial tracts of National Park Service land where hunting is not allowed. Land owned by the State is a mixed bag. Potions of state parks are open to hunting. School Board lands are generally leased to private land owners who contol the hunting rights.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
