Colorado 2023 Draw Results - Mule Deer

[uthuntr]

Really wish I could've made it to CO this year. The wolves and point creep for some reason make it one of the bleaker states for outlook to me. Thankfully another point should keep me in line with the creep for the unit I want.

Burned 9 points for twenty one second season rifle

 

[Smokey12]

3rd rifle for me..

 

[djewell87]

No luck for me

 

[eamyrick]

They naturally increase.

I’ll be getting it for sure. First trip into the CO Mountains with a rifle chasing a buck 2nd rifle. Over the moon. Took 3 years to draw.

Dude, wolves don't mean anything, they really don't in terms of deer/elk population crashes. MT Lions are your killers, period. Just put in, buy tags and go hunting. Thanks.

High country archery tag for me! Cant wait

 

[Sharpio]

I only applied for archery and my card has been charged so yes

Which tag did you draw?

 

[tkhuntsman]

My card got hit yesterday and I got the email the day before. I'm headed back to my home unit for a muzzleloader hunt this year should be good. First scouting trip will be July 15 then another in late August and a will head down a week before season to go with my son on his archery elk hunt in the same unit.

That's why I like wolves, they kill elk just not enough. Haha.

That NM tag is fun assume you hunting the January hunt. We hit the one year that the Youth Hunt was held prior, hurt the trophy quality saw during a scouting trip over Thanksgiving for sure.

I drew 3rd rifle in unit 21 (11 points). I know it’s “not what it used to be”, but I’m excited for the hunt.

Not sure what you're talking about, wolves most certainly mean something. They don't decimate the population but when you consider the increase of hunters CO has seen in recent years the state really can't afford another predator taking animals off the mountain. And you missed my sentiment, I'm not going to stop putting in because of wolves. I would just rather draw the tag for the unit I'm looking at sooner rather than later. Just couldn't make the trip work this year.

Nah, i put in for the 2nd hunt as my buddies and i planned for Colorado 3rd rifle.. i didn't think I'd draw. I am concerned that it may be a difficult hunt as I'll be solo, full moon, and no knowledge of the area. I'll put boots to the ground every day, all day, though.

You’ll find deer in NM. Just make sure you’re on your glass at first and last night! They don’t move much after the sun comes up. I filled a tag on an upper 160 a few years ago. Take a nap mid day because they won’t be moving, that’s for sure.
