After building points for 8 years a friend and I drew 3rd season deer tags in Colorado units 68/681/682. The dates are Nov 7-13. I live in Idaho and my friend lives in Washington. The distance is going to prevent us from making a scouting trip so we are limited to "google earth" scouting until we get there. I am wandering if anyone can give us advice on types of areas to look for that time of year in that area. Are the deer typically still at higher elevations at that time in that part of CO unless a lot of weather comes in? Should we be looking for high inaccessible areas to pack into or lower juniper type habitat that time of year? Looks like there are a lot of roads so assuming getting away from roads will be key like everywhere else. Looking at the CO Parks and Wildlife information and maps it doesn't look like there are long migration routes in that area. Mostly short distance moves from higher to lower elevation so my thought we be the move to lower elevations would mostly be weather dependent vs. timing, but not sure if that is right.
We plan to find our own spots. Just trying to get some feedback to make sure we are looking for the right areas.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
