    Safety during Hunting Season

    Most of Colorado's outdoors is multi-use and intended to be shared. Hunters and nonhunters should show respect and courtesy to all users engaged in outdoor recreation.

    • Learn where and when hunting is taking place. Stay out of designated hunt areas.
    • Stay on designated trails. Enjoying activities only on designated trails will reduce the likelihood of entering designated hunt areas.
    • Make yourself easily visible by wearing bright clothing. Choose colors that stand out, like bright, fluorescent red, orange or green.
    • For protection, it is recommended to keep your dog on a leash. Tie a brightly-colored bandana around your dog’s neck or purchase a blaze orange dog vest to make your dog more visible.
    • Make noise. Alert hunters to your presence by whistling, singing or carrying on a conversation as you walk.
    • If you hear shooting, raise your voice and let hunters know you are in the vicinity.
    • Be courteous. Once a hunter is aware of your presence, don’t make unnecessary noise that disturbs wildlife. Avoid conflict. Please note it is illegal to intentionally interfere with hunters.
