Elk hunting in Colorado?

(1/2) > >>

bigdog:
Here is a question for you elk hunters.

Do any of you carry a handgun concealed or non while hunting elk in Colorado? I have read that many hunters do.

I personally haven't been there hunting but it would be a good idea. Never know when you might find yourself between a momma black bear and her cubs.

RobertH:
if i could, i would.  just make sure its legal there.

You bet. Make sure you have a light but comfortable rig... they get heavy in elk country. Whether it is concealed or not kind of depends on what I'm wearing and the situation. I tend to add and shed layers throughout the morning/day, and you don't really want it buried under a parka and bibs when you need it.

I tried a drop holster a few years ago, but it was didn't fit very well. I may give that another shot at some point.

bigdog:
Is the only reason a person would carry a handgun while hunting elk is for a finish shot? I have never hunting Colorado/ mountain areas and I am just curious.
