Looks like Colorado has some tougher regs than Arizona...
So it looks like I can neither shoot them for property damage now, nor for food since the season doesn't start until September 1st and they are not listed as an animal that can be killed for depredation. That blows.http://wildlife.state.co.us/SiteCollectionDocuments/DOW/RulesRegs/Regulations/Ch03.pdf
