I seem to keep the attitude that hunting quality areas more frequently, is better for quality animals, than waiting 10 years to hunt areas that are hard to draw and far away. With that being said, living in North Dakota, I keep my mule deer hunting local and run over to MT for elk and the occasional mule deer.
However, Colorado attracts me in a number of ways. I can get an elk tag every year and from what I understand I can get a good high country archery mule deer tag every other year on average, maybe more depending in the unit.
Just so I understand, since reading regs can get a little monotonous I figured I'd get a little verification from the Rokslide community.
My interest lies primarily in early season mule deer hunts in CO. If I am correct, there are some good quality high country archery mule deer tags for NRs in CO, and it is somewhat reasonable to expect to draw every year or every other year for some of these units. These seasons run from late August to mid September.
There are also "early rifle" tags which are also high country hunts, which from the looks of it take place in the first week of September. I haven't looked at tag numbers, but since this is not for all units, and seem to be a desirable weapon and time of year, I would expect this to be a fairly difficult draw, requiring a fair amount of points. Is this correct? Are these max points type draw odds? Am I able to buy points or apply for an early season rifle unit and also an archery tag?
Most of the rifle hunts in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons are week long seasons for rifle and a majority of the well known units are very difficult to draw. However, it seems that at about 4 points I could expect to draw some good units.
Does this all sound correct? Anything that would be important to know?
