Look, I get it - September archery in Colorado is basically hunting heaven. Perfect weather, rutting elk, and way more time in the woods. But here's my honest take: I'm not retired, and dropping serious cash on gear that makes harvesting harder just doesn't fit my reality. I've found my sweet spot with muzzleloader season instead. Nine days of hunting during the rut, easier tag draws in my favorite areas, and gear that won't break the bank. Sure, it's shorter than archery's month-long window, but I'd rather have quality weekends than stress about utilizing a full September when work calls. Sometimes the "less popular" choice is actually the smarter one for your situation. What's your take - do you chase the popular seasons or find your own path? #Hunting #ColoradoHunting #DeerSeason #Outdoors
