Colorado Muzzleloader

You can use a .45 conical on pronghorn in Colorado. You will need to build quite a few points for Colorado pronghorn (certainly for any unit worth hunting) although muzzy will make it significantly easier to draw (but significantly harder to tag one). I'd be putting in for NM and building WY pronghorn points/straight up applying in WY while playing a long game in Colorado.

In the eastern half of the state, the majority of pronghorn are on private. Public will have some herds but they get shot up and bumped pretty quickly. The Western Slope is going to have more pronghorn on public (by virtue of having more public land to begin with) but the tags are going to be all that much more competitive.

If you want to hunt soon- like in the next year-- you're better off buying a landowner tag on a guided hunt, either in CO or NM.

Thanks for the info. I must have been reading elk-specific rules about the .50 cal. I am building WY points as well, and have 3 as of this year, but that's good info to have about CO. I haven't thought about NM...
