    Colorado Deer Rifle Unit 201

    Hi All- was lucky to draw the second season rifle tag in the hybrid draw with 6 points. I am familiar with the north part of the unit but curious if folks have any experience or thoughts on the south half specifically in the cold springs WSA. I will be scouting multiple weekends in the coming...

    Aspen Unit 471

    Hi McCrapper- I just picked up the tag off the leftover list today. I will be scouting in a week or two. Anything you’d be willing to share or lessons learned about your hunt would be great! I also don’t see the pic of your buck in this thread anymore. Would love to see it. Thanks!

    Unit 3+ Colorado mule deer

    Colorado high alpine hunt advice

    My advice after going on a few high elevation/wilderness September deer rifle hunts Colorado, is this- most of these areas don’t hold big bucks in high alpine basins like you dream of. In reality by the time mid September roles around the bucks have rubbed and heavy frost or dry alpine...

    Colorado with 6 points

    If you are in shape and looking for tough but rewarding hunt- look at unit 74 early deer rifle. Starts in early September before muzzleloader season. Deer will be in high alpine basins still in velvet. You will make memories to last a lifetime

    I drew region G with 0 points and don't know anything

    I wouldn’t hunt alone based on your post, try and find a buddy to tag along. Deer numbers are down a bit but still some nice bucks to be found
