Our group was in Western CO for first 3 days of 2nd rifle. Lots of smaller bucks pushing does around in our area as others have mentioned. We did find and shoot one mature 4x4 that was rutting with 1 doe but it was in thicker cover at last light so maybe its just kicking in.
I’ll be in SW Colorado for 3rd season. What range of elevations do you guys put your focus on during that season? Or is that completely dependent on weather conditions?
Man I question myself every year and this year feels the same….i have seen ZERO deer or elk except the 3 bucks on the FS road on the drive in Friday. Searched from 8500-12000 ft. Need some luck to not go 0/5 at this point.
