The migration of the Canadian goose is a relevant edible animal. Escargot is edible in Colorado and elsewhere and so are Mescal worms. Perhaps the question should have been reprhased as 'what native Colorado animals are edible'. Alferd Packer would add a few additional delicacies to this list.

Answer 2

After having lived in Colorado for many years, I can honestly say that Colorado does not have any specific food that is popular for the state. No lobsters like Maine or peaches and boiled peanuts like Georgia. I really wish it did have something to call its own. However, Colorado is a very fit state, so restaurants that serve healthy dishes do well, as well as steak places.

Boulder is a unique city in Colorado and is very, as we say, "granola." Health food nuts will love it there. You can get your hands on wild game meat, like Bison and such from some of the more upscale grocery stores and health food stores all over Colorado. It's not common, but not uncommon either, if that makes sense. If you look for it, you'll find it.
