September in Colorado
September in Colorado carries a special kind of energy for hunters. The mornings turn crisp, the sun rises later, and the fields and marshes are alive with the first signs of fall. For waterfowl hunters, this month is all about doves and teal —the fast-paced, winged excitement that signals the start of the early season duck hunting season.
Dove Season: Opening Day Thrills
There’s nothing like the first day of dove season. After months away from the fields, hunters shoulder their shotguns and step into sunflower and grain fields alive with movement. Flocks of mourning doves zigzag through the sky, landing and taking off in rapid bursts.
Opening day is more than just shooting; it’s a ritual. It sharpens your reflexes, tests your aim, and reconnects you with the rhythm of hunting season. Across Colorado, hunters are sharing smiles, quick stories, and the thrill of their first doves of the year.
Teal Duck Season: Early-Season Action
While dove season gets the blood pumping, early season duck brings the waterfowl action to the next level. Early teal are arriving at ponds, sloughs, and rivers. The marshes come alive at first light as hunters slip into waders, set decoys, and tune their calls.
Few experiences compare to watching a duck commit to your spread under the glow of a September sunrise. Early-season teal duck hunting is fast, thrilling, and a perfect way to kick off the season before the bigger migrations later in the fall.
Why September Matters
- Sharpen your shooting skills on doves.
- Get out in the water for early-season teal.
- Scout and prepare for the rest of the season.
September is the launchpad of the hunting season—a month full of action, anticipation, and the kind of memories that stick with you long after the sun sets over the Colorado plains.
