Heading out to Colorado in two weeks on a mule deer hunt. This will be my 3rd mule deer hunt in my 3rd state. I’ve done about 20 days of mule deer hunting in my life.
Heading into the Zirkel wilderness for the early rifle hunt. Me and my partner have a pretty solid plan, have talked to the local warden and biologist. Backpacking in for 7 days of hunting. As I live in Iowa my scouting been limited to google earth, and Onx. No boots on the ground.
Anyone with Colorado experience help me manage some expectations for this hunt?
Sounds like this country is on the lower side for deer density. I understand some drainages may
Should we be happy if we are glassing up 4 deer a day? 15? 1?
Not looking for any locations, just maybe a better idea of what we should expect. As always, it’s hunting. Nothing is guaranteed but we grateful for the privilege.
