Guns & ammo to bring We recommend that our hunters use 12ga or 20ga shotguns during their hunt. We will allow hunters to use 28ga and 16ga if they choose but these are not our recommended calibers. The shell and shot size permitted must be no larger than # 5 and no smaller than # 6 shot with 2 ¾ length shells. We recommend that our hunters use only long brass hunting shell loads. We will allow 20ga hunters to use magnum shells but 3 inch or 3 ½ shells are not permitted in any caliber. These guidelines are in place for the safety of our hunters.   Gear to bring All of our hunters, guests and guides are required to wear safety glasses, an orange hat and an orange vest or a coat with visible orange. These safety items must be worn at all times during your hunt.   Weather Colorado weather is unpredictable so we recommend that our hunters bring clothing and boots for all seasons.
