Any Colorado hunters in here

[Irish-Pat 430]

My son wants me to travel to Colorado this fall and go primitive rifle hunting. We are trying to find out if you can use single shot rifles or if it must be muzzleloader only

There is no reference to "primitive" in the CPW BIG GAME REGULATIONS

Muzzleloaders have a season for most big game. Hunting in CO is a lot of fun, but very hard in some places. Enjoy the hunt Pat

Muzzle loader season is early and short, last time I did it, it was a week In early September.  No separate season for primitive.  For big game, must be 50 cal for shaped bullet, 54 for round ball, no sabots.  Also has to be iron sights.  No scopes.

At least you're allowed to use lead balls.  In this state we are required to use lead-free ammo, which means expensive copper with sabots. 

 

That rules out my Ferguson.

have him check about left over tags.   You missed the deadline for the main draw.

CPW has extended the draw deadline to the 9th, so you still have time.
