Western Colorado checking in

[CO_west]

Hello from Grand Junction, Colorado! I'm a high school teacher and an aspiring hunter. Went out elk hunting for the first time this year. Didn't get anything, but I had a blast. I'm in the process of taking what I learned this fall and changing up some of my gear - for example, replacing my father-in-law's Remington 740 with something that fits me a little better.

I'm a lifelong backpacker, climber, and skier. Still recovering from a serious skiing accident from the spring of 2014, but trying to be active and up in the mountains as much as I can.

I grew up in Denver, and didn't come out here until after college a few years ago. Loving the wide open spaces and the lack of people (compared to the Front Range).

I'm excited to learn more and become a better hunter!

Welcome!! We've got some guys on your side of the state on here. I'm in the Eastern plains, so they don't consider me part of Colorado

Welcome. Lots of good info here - on the forum, Fresh Tracks, youtube... The list grows.

Welcome! I am in GJ as well. I specifically moved me and my family to this area for the outdoor opportunities here and we love it. This site is an excellent place to sharpen you hunting skills. I have learned alot hanging out here.

Your in a good area to hunt, fish, and explore. I have spent a lot of good days around the gunnison basin and western Colorado.
