Salida Area Camping
from Salida.com
Colorado has a great heritage of wildlife conservation and hunting tradition that is proudly maintained in the Upper Arkansas River Valley.
The application deadline for limited licenses for area big game hunting — including deer, elk, some bighorn sheep and mountain goats, and a very limited number of antelope — comes around the first week of April. Over the counter small game licenses are available for rabbit and squirrels. Among winged prey, in addition to blue grouse and ptarmigan, there is increasing hunting interest in the growing population of wild turkey throughout the area. As for waterfowl, a dearth of open flat water here leads those in the know to advise Chaffee County is perhaps best used as a base for waterfowl hunting excursions into the neighboring San Luis Valley. |
