To help alleviate any fears for searchers, the link below does a good job of showing the hunting season dates for 2020 for Colorado.
Whenever I am in the woods hiking or hunting, the seasons that concern me the most about a possible other hunter causing a stray bullet are the "Rifle Gun Seasons" for big game. Most all of those do not start till October, so searchers should be fine although there appears to be some sort of Bear season that begins in September but people should not worry too much with bear season as its not easy to mistake a person for a bear (dont wear black).
The Muzzleloader and Archery seasons never concern me and nor should concern any searchers because when you hunt with those weapons, it is very much an up close and personal type of hunting as you have to get pretty darn close to the animal to have any real chance of success with those weapons. So overall, searchers should not have much to worry about being in the woods.
Sincere thanks from all of us here at WS to all the searchers devoting their time and energy to searching for Suzanne. I wish I could join everyone.
