Originally posted by Sackett View PostThe State of Colorado should be held partially liable in these cases. Our group hunts the opening week and a half of Archery elk less than 30 miles from this incident. They've allowed rifle bear season to open the same time as Archery Elk and its worried me since they started it. Why put Archery hunters (who don't wear blaze orange) in a situation where they're stalking the same woods as a rifle hunter?
I now stay out of the wood during this overlap.

It is not the “states” fault in any way. Muzzleloader season has been during archery season for as long as I can remember (I’m 41). That’s just the way it is. Get over it or don’t hunt Colorado. They don’t care and won’t miss you. Archery hunters get the entire month of September. That’s why other seasons have to overlap. Notice how not one person mentioned making archery season shorter to install “their” version of the solution to the problem.
I have no issues with them cutting Now season back a week and dropping in Muzzleloader for that week.
Heck a-lot of rifle hunters would show up early and scout with a ML.

Originally posted by Texans42 View PostI disagree, now I'd rather see a spring season and aug season but that's not happening. Many states have a concurrent ML and or Any weapon bear season including NM.
End of the day Co (Especially southern) HAS A BAD CALF RECRUITMENT ISSUE, mainly do to bear numbers. sept is the most effective open season as it stands.
This year I ran in to one elk hunter and 6 bear hunters(I had a rifle bear tag in my pocket also). I had zero issue with them.
I know I'd make a trip up in early spring myself if it was an option.
