On today’s episode of the Western Bowhunter Podcast, I sit down with an old friend of mine and we get into some of the nitty-gritty of hunting the state of Colorado. Scott has been bowhunting in the State for much longer than I have and is a wealth of knowledge for those who don’t have as much experience. We get into the three different types of terrain that Colorado has to offer as far as mule deer hunting goes, and why Scott chooses to hunt where he does. I hope this episode, as well as the one from last week, will be beneficial for you as the draw season comes to a close, and thank you very much for listening!   Show notes: Making the move to Colorado (2:00) Early bowhunting in Colorado (5:00) Coming to hunt elk in Colorado for the first time (8:45) Finding bulls in their summer routines (12:30) Finding motivation and past regrets (21:00)  Hunting wilderness areas vs hunting national forests (24:15) Advice to those who hunt out of state in Colorado (26:00) Planning ahead and having a meat packer lined up (18:30)  Difference between hunting elk vs mule deer in Colorado (32:00) Choosing glass (34:30) Choosing what part of the season to focus on (37:00) Focusing on terrain and topography (44:00) Know when to move fast and know when to slow down (48:15) What to do when you’re in range and he won’t stand up (51:15) Colorado bonus points (54:45) Backcountry gear (1:00:00) Getting into your 50’s (1:02:30) The high country shoot (1:11:30)
