What we’re about
Are you a wildlife photographer, videographer, conservationist, biologist, or birder? Do you spend a good portion of every hike looking for scrapes, scent posts, tracks, nests and burrows?
I create wildlife videos from trail cameras. My YouTube channel is @FrontRangeWildlife. I'm hoping to meet a few like-minded individuals to discuss all aspects of Colorado wildlife.
The meetings can range from presentations from experts to a hike with particular interest paid to local fauna.

## Details
People have also signed up through a SignUpGenius link from Wild Aware in Evergreen, so this hike is full. Please feel free to contact me through Meetup messages if you'd like to be notified of the next hike, probably in July or August.
Thanks, Michael
How do you find lions, bobcats, moose, and other elusive animals?
This is a repeat of the last meetup, although I'll have a different video to discuss.
Whether you are interested in seeing wildlife on a hike, or setting up some trail cams and following the locals, this session is for you. We'll talk about reading terrain, a little tracking, wildlife signs, understanding animal behavior, and how animals do such a good job avoiding you.
I've been videoing animals for years - my YouTube channel is @FrontRangeWildlife. Over the years I've learned a ton about finding wildlife, which is pretty much directly tied to learning about their behavior. There will be some video, some slides, and as much discussion as possible.
Following the discussion we'll go for a hike - the meeting place is 100 yds from Pike National Forest. We'll locate numerous animal signs, a few springs, and visit some great moose meadows. We'll cross through and discuss five distinct wildlife zones. Along the way, we'll explore a perfect mountain lion hunting area.
This is a four-hour event that starts at my house, which is in Bailey - an hour and 15 minutes from downtown Denver. Given that it includes a hike it's limited to 12 people, so if you're not going to be able to make it please keep your invite up to date.
Bring binoculars and whatever else you will need for 2 hours of mostly mild off-trail hiking at 9,500 feet.
Thanks - hope to meet some enthusiastic wildlifers.
