Colorado Hunting Thread

My spring turkey isnt happening this year. Little one is due end of the month. Happy to chat if you need some input on areas tho.

 

For various reasons I didn't even get to go hunting last season.

 

THANK YOU! I somehow completely forgot and almost missed the draw.

 

Quite a few good videos and informative reads put out by CPW relative to the Cameron Peak and Troublesome fires, if that was a factor impacting your 2020 season. Heard(s), for the most part, kept around the fire and retreated back to pockets within their familiar territory which were unscathed once the fire passed. I think this fall, specifically archery season in North Park, is going to present some pretty good opportunity to hunt the burn and new growth, assuming CPWs data is correct and elk have just continued on naturally. The Poudre and Big Thompson are gonna be absolutely fawked once runoff begins here soon, though.

 

It was number of things that kept me from going:

Freetime and in conjunction with weather
Other people flaking out
scarcity of ammo
the fires affecting areas

and that fuel pump recall on my truck made me a bit apprehensive about driving out to the middle of no where.

 

FYI in case you guys procrastinated too long:

• Primary draw application deadline has been EXTENDED to Friday, April 9 at 8pm MT.

 

Interesting. I got myself and my son in just under the wire. My daughter had bought her own fishing license and entered her DL incorrectly so we couldn't get into her account until it was too late. They definitely shut things off at 8 on Tuesday

 

Well when the state wants more money.. Colorado makes a killing off out of staters

 

You can pick up a fishing license any point during the year through right?

 

I always wait until the very last minute to give the State my annual charitable donation... looks like they got it a few days early this year after all.

 

Correct

 

Have to have a fishing or small game to even apply for big game any more, so I just grab the combo fish and small game.

 

Thank you for this heads-up.
Got the daughter's application in tonight.
Last minute again of course

 

Found all the elk today.

 

I honestly don't know if I will head out at all this season. I'm not prepared at all lol

 

Just chewing cud in the pasture, not a care in the world.

 

@Martyinco and I are leaving for WY spring bear tomorrow.

 

Who drew tags?

I drew 1st rifle Elk in the flattops.

 

OTC archery for me. Had a buddy finally draw his moose tag in north park after 35 years. Looking forward to tagging along for that hunt.

 

Nothing for me
