[QUOTE="mike33, post: 688218, member: 14195"] The answer is yes you are allowed to hunt with illum. ret. in Colorado. 2 years ago it was my second trip to same outfitter and i mentioned to one of his guides about my new nightforce and showed him the illum. ret. He of course said he thought it was illegal and i thought he was full of crap. On the last day of my hunt my outfitter told me to grab my backup gun he knew where some cow elk was he seen the night before my edge might be to heavy since i might have to shoot quick. I grabbed my 25 WSM with a nightforce mounted on and going down the road he told me the real reason he told me to switch that my scope was illegal. He than asked me if this gun the scope lighted up. I was ****ed and said no he wouldnt of known a nightforce from a simmons. I took my cow elk and daylight and never said a word. I came home and called Denver office and spoke to a man name Bob Thompson and asked if they was legal. He siad they was and i went farther and he left me know he knew what a illum. reticle was along with a nightforce scope. To bad my outfitter didnt know the law i wanted to connect with my edge. Bottom line they are legal in Colorado but some states there not. At worst just take out the battery. Mike [/QUOTE]
