Boycotts of this nature are silly and ineffective. You're not hurting the people who caused the problem and they couldn't care less. They don't even know you're doing it, if they did care, but they don't care anyway.
If anyone is getting hurt, it's the individual businesses that support the hunting community, almost all of whom certainly oppose the laws you're supposedly boycotting.
The other person getting hurt is you. You obviously want to go there, you can't boycott a place you wouldn't go to anyway.
You don't go, the politicians don't know or care, you miss a chance to hunt where you want to hunt and you cost the very people and businesses that are on your side.

I am getting the impression that some of you think not bagging an animal makes for less of a hunt????
I have hunted in Colorado for a long time and the only times I have had a bad hunt is when interactions With other hunters goes bad. It has only happened a couple of times thankfully.
Most years the freeze went home Empty but the experience was outstanding!
Of course, YMMV !!
