Does anyone here bow hunt during the Colorado rifle seasons?

You’d may as well ask somebody to kick you in the nuts. It’ll be less painful.

I had a buddy come out and try it, I laughed a lot, he was frustrated the entire time.

You don't have to pay $500. Just give me $50 and I'll kick you in the nuts every day for 5 days in a row.

I've never archery hunted 3rd season. I have archery hunted other places during the same time frame.

It's hard. It really seems like if the buck is solo they are moving a lot searching and hard to catch up to. If they aren't moving a lot they are with lots of other deer and there are tons of eyes .

I actually think it would be easier second season when they aren't chasing as hard.

It all depends on the unit you’re in. Zero-low point units you’re gonna get frustrated. You’re gonna work pretty hard to find a shooter buck let alone get within archery range. Top tier units I have been within easy archery range of some quality bucks during 3rd-4th from the front seat of my truck.

Eh, I've killed deer in low point units with a rifle. I'd really like to try and use archery equipment. I just can't get anyone who wants to go

Is your heart set on Colorado because there are other states that will offer the same opportunities and time frame with a bow with less pressure from hunters mainly rifle elk hunters. I suggest looking outside of Colorado.

nver heard of anyone doing it. It'd take a special breed to endure that, but the fact that you're even considering it means it might be a good fit for you.

I just can't imagine trying it if there were other opps available

But it would be an accomplishment if you took a mature buck. For sure.
