Colorado offers abundant elk sighting opportunities during the fall and early winter months. Bull Elk, also known as wapiti, will bugle. The bull elk doesn't eat for weeks and spends all of his time collecting cows and making sure that they are with him. Bull elk protect the cows and it is sometimes an eerie moment when you see a bull elk stand up and prepare to defend his cows. Elk bugles define the landscape during this time of the year.
Poaching is always an issue during elk hunting season which will begin soon. The Colorado Department of Wildlife has a terrific website where you can learn about the legalities of hunting in Colorado.
I am not a hunter myself. But,I do understand that an over abundance of any species can be a detriment to others. I know of many people who never kill but love the beauty of being in the great outdoors during the hunting season. Some hunt with a gun, a bow, a pair of binoculars or a camera. Beauty can be appreciated through many different devices. Hunt responsibly.
Many Excellent opportunities exist for the vacationer, second home owner, frustrated city dweller, or the avid nature lover to purchase a piece of Colorado. Contact me for more information about the amazing homes, mountain cabins and land parcelsfor sale in the Pikes Peak Region.
