Second season Colorado reports

[Schoolhousegrizz]

Are you guys seeing mature bucks? Any rutting action? What general part of the state are you in? Would love to hear how it's going out there, thanks!

 

[Amos Moses]

Has been way too hot up at 10k feet. Looks like the second half of this week could be better.

Same as Amos, it’s been hot. Snowing now at our camp now. Hopefully this changes the hunt!

The unit I was in last weekend didn't see or hear of a buck below 11k, but go above 11k and there were bucks around. Still didn't seem interested in does from what I saw. I'm really hoping this weather this week fires them up, heading back up this weekend.

Meanwhile, this guy was in my neighborhood on the front range herding does around people's yards (and the road) , so hopefully that's a good sign

Saw a young immature buck on private start to show some signs of pre rut activity. Nose down sniffing does butts, but that was it. The weather coming in should help out.

I grabbed an OTC elk tag and also used the time to scout my deer unit. Found a few bucks, nothing rutting. They were either solo or in pairs. Saw several doe groups with no bucks as well.

I was out before the storm hit though. It was pretty warm while I was there.

Just a medium 6x6


Oh no. I won’t be able to draw the unit for deer until next year (hopefully). Just learning the country and roads really.

Thanks! It sure is. Learned a lot while I was there, and filled the freezer!

It has been very warm here In Colorado. But some weather moved In so it should improve.. hopefully!

Some bigger bucks started rolling in last few days. None of them are running does yet but they are close by. Saw a few nice ones in trucks couple days ago.

Congrats! Is that rifle a UM build?

Thanks! No, it's built by Troy Sturgill at High Voltage Armory. 7-300 NMI. I love it.
