Quick Colorado Wildernss Question

[skeeterforme]

Buddy just got back from a outfitted hunt up in the Medicine Bow/Routte area. He said the outfitter said there was a rule about not taking horses up before sunup and you needed to be out by dark during the gun seasons. I've never heard of this before, is there any truth to it? I'd assume you can backpack in and spend the night if you wanted to.

Thanks.

Great site by the way, you guys are very knowledgeable, tough for a MN guy being so far away to get alot of quality info without spending alot of time on the phone.

Pretty sure there is no such rule. Maybe the outfitter is concerned about getting his horses shot.
