Colorado Glassing Practice

[HankMorgan]

If you’re in the Denver area and want some glassing practice, go check out The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg. They have a 1.5ish mile elevated walkway over large enclosures with all kinds of predators. Most of the ranges are < 200yds, but there’s some enclosures farther away from the walkway. I went with my family this week, and had a blast with our binoculars and the spotting scope. Good practice finding animals and talking each other onto them. Also just cool animals in a cool environment.

Taking a rangefinder is also good practice for range guesstimating.

SORRY BUT THIS IS A NO GO! DO NOT GO THERE DO NOT SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!

They were one of the biggest sponsors for prop 127 and the wolf prop, they are anti hunting, radicals, do not give them one dime. It will be funneled to fight what we love to do. This is a dumb post and should be taken down.

Sorry to be harsh but it needs to be said. If you want practice glassing hit about anywhere in the foothills at evening and glass your heart out. Do not frequent these anti hunting wanna be tiger king people.

I like going to Rocky Mountain Arsenal near DIA. They have mule deer, whitetail, and bison. There’s some light walking to be done in and around the park but I mostly stick near the truck and drive the wildlife drive. Takes about an hour but could take longer if you want

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.
