Archery or Rifle? Physical condition/ability to climb mountains? Do you know anybody local that has tagged an elk? -
CO September Mule Deer Hunt
I would start by picking the country you want to hunt: high country/alpine, timber, roads, lower elevation, flats, etc...then look for units. I've only elk hunted but I've seen whopper mule deer come from plenty of units, many that require 0-2 pts. CO has great mule deer...it will be a blast... -
What to look for E-Scouting
This. E-scout for small pockets of hard to get to terrain that offer cover & water. You can zoom in to see cars/trucks...then match that up with well know trails...find the middle ground. Also - as stated...e-scout only does so much...I primarily do it to day dream and look for new spots to... -
Vacuum bags vs butcher paper
I've only double wrapped in freezer paper...never had an issue...up to 2yrs I've had it be good but it rarely last past 1 yr. Cheap, easy, mobile.- bz_711

Colorado bear/elk unit overlap.
You don't raise tag prices when you want more bears harvested...you raise them so less guys hunt them, and populations rise leading to more depredation of elk and deer. This means less hunters needed or no hunters. This follows right along with everything else the Governor is doing to end... -
Colorado Elk Draw Advance Data availability
Where you traveling from? Archery, Muzzleloader, or Rifle tag? -
Am I looking for a unicorn?
If wanting archery I would budget more than 1 hunt/season on doing this...but it's doable...even DIY public land. If you want to just hunt once and be done - a top rifle outfitter hunt is probably the only way to go. Be careful...once I put my 300" bull on the wall...it's a reminder everyday... -
