Familiarizing yourself with the Elk Hunting Seasons in Colorado can help you determine which Colorado Elk Hunting Season is Right for You?

This simple post will help you know the times and dates of all of the possible hunting times in Colorado to help with planning your next public land elk hunt.

ARCHERY HUNT

Archery hunting is the longest season, and it also opens elk hunting in Colorado. Because this is the first season you have the first shot at the year’s elk.

EARLY HIGH COUNTRY RIFLE DEER

It is much easier to blow these spots, scattering elk and spoiling an area you have previously scouted.

MUZZLELOADER

The muzzleloader season in September is a fantastic opportunity for muzzleloader enthusiasts to get in before modern rifles start to take over the game.

FIRST SEASON RIFLE

The first season rifle opens when bull elk are still rutting, giving you plenty of chance at early-season success.

SECOND SEASON RIFLE

The second season happens at a sweet spot in the year where the weather is starting to push the elk from the mountains but it should not be harsh enough to run you out.

THIRD SEASON RIFLE

The third season is usually where you will start to see heavy snowfall. This is great for migrating elk.

FOURTH SEASON RIFLE

If you do not mind missing Thanksgiving, the fourth season gives you one last chance at the year’s elk.
