r/cohunting

Anybody else super excited to spend the fall walking up hill, prowling for multicam mountain chickens? I already took the first off from work and everything!

Been hunting deer and elk with buddies over the years, but the kid is now of the age to take small game hunting. Grabbed a 10/22 and a silencer.

What's the best place to find an area for us to go? They're too young to shoot but want to tag along.

Seen rabbits out on my treks in the deep mountains, but that's far too much for them.

Any ideas or any thoughts on where to do this for this coming season or anyone have any info where I can find material to read up on?

Edit: and yes it's obviously not in season yet, but would like to start scouting areas. I live near bear creek lake park

Anyone know of a butcher shop or store in the greater Denver area that sells beef fat for using in sausage/hamburger game processing?

Also curious what a fair $/lb of this would cost.

First time archery mule deer hunter here. Looking for any input on Colorado unit 34 archery mule deer. My main curiosity is which habitat type they will be in. Seems like the habitat can be pretty diverse throughout the unit. Do I stick up high or is it worth looking at the lower elevation stuff? TIA

Anyone in the Grand Mesa area have any intel on how the berries and Gambel’s acorns are shaping up this year? I’ve heard various things about their response to the drought but would love to hear if anyone has been noticing anything firsthand. New to bear hunting and looking for any advice I can get on finding one. I know water will be a big thing to target.
