Name: How to read the woods and find wildlife - a presentation and a hike.
Start: 2025-10-12T16:00:00.000Z
Location: 154 Sunset Dr

## Details

How do you find lions, bobcats, moose, and other elusive animals?

The rut will be underway, and there will be plenty of deer, moose and elk activity. Bears will be on the move with hyperphagia driving every waking moment. The last migrants, prominently featuring Wilson's warblers, are still flitting about.

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](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBdkINxZ32-RTaxcqheAuTg). 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 2-3 hours of mostly mild with some moderate off-trail hiking at 9,500 feet. We will be on uneven ground, so if you use them (I do) bring your trekking poles.

Thanks - hope to meet some enthusiastic wildlifers.
