I live in decent elk/deer country, with the 4th season opening tomorrow for deer and elk. I have pretty good idea most of the time of the game in this area. Earlier today, I heard at least 500 rounds shot off as I was chopping wood. All of the shooting came from a nasty 4 wheel drive road that is not overly popular because of its nastyness and steep hunting terrain. We had enough snow last Friday that I chained up my UTV on Sunday and made run up the road as grouse season is still open and was curious to see how far up the mountain I could make it and if any grouse would still be around. Anyway, I was pleasantly suprised at all the elk and a couple of deer that I moved off of this road on my way up the mountain. I encountered enough game that I made several phone calls to my elk/deer deprived buddies that they should grab any leftover or reissued tags that might surface. I have since called them and told them not to pick up any tags as I camp of yahoos are having a shooting party about where they should start hunting. I drove up to camp and they said they were just killing time until the opener tomorrow and having fun shooting.
I couldn't tell them what had been up the road less than a mile from there camp. I just told them Colorado big game are not hard of hearing and drove off.
Why Why would you target practice where you are planning on hunting?
