Sorry for the dumb question but relative to what you have seen in Colorado specifically, when do bucks leave the high country and start to shed velvet?
In other words, you can hunt the second week of September so where do you start looking? Or is this highly variable from one location to another as well as affected by pressure and weather?
Also, in a unit that varies from 6500 feet of hilly grasslands to 12000 foot alpine basins, would you expect mule deer to be all over the unit or do they tend to all stay high until weather pushes them down, kind of like elk
