CO 3rd Rifle Thread

Little brother tagged a pretty good one near Meeker. Good start to the trip. Protecting does from two smaller bucks. 26” wide… Lots of pretty nice bucks seen from the road yesterday.

Saw a lot of small bucks today with a few decent bucks mixed in. Definitely some rut action going on, bucks chasing does, lip curling, noses up does butts. My buddy killed his first deer, small buck. Tons of guys out in NW CO.

Saw an elk mangled on three legs out there today. Bummer. deer up high mostly

What elevations is everyone seeing deer ? I’m in Central Western CO around 7000 feet. Haven’t seen many bucks. Plenty of does.

Bucks will be showing up, stay on the does. Likely bedded near them in some less obvious spots

Most of the bucks in my area are still bachelored up. Very little visible rut activity.
