I have a tag for unit 4, for Oct. 20-28. I was wondering though, if a unit 12 tag would be better. It shows they have leftovers or 2nd and 3rd rifle season in 12. Which do you guys think would be better?
 
Stick with 4,Unit 12 has very little public land in the lower areas and it is extreamly crowded!I have hunted 12 twice,never again.......
 
I'd stick with unit 4.

Here are some stats from the DOW:

Unit 4:
29.2 bucks/100 does
*9.2 mature bucks/100 does
2nd Rifle harvest success 52% w/ 643 bucks & 146 does taken by 1512 hunters.

Unit 12:
28.2 bucks/100 does
*2.0 mature bucks/100 does
2nd rifle success 42% w/ 367 bucks 100 does 11 fawns taken by 1174 hunters.
 
Hey thanks guys, that is just what I needed to hear. Do those statistics include the other units included on the tags? Were did you get that info. Seem like pretty good stuff. Thanks for the help.

What south said. Very few deer in NF. Most are lower on private, BLM or schools land. If u hunt the NF, hunt just above private. Good Luck and let us know how you did.
 
I've hunted a lot in the Gunnison area. I have also gut shot an animal with every available weapon known to man. This year I plan to hunt unit 2 with a rifle. What are my chances of seeing a shooter buck in unit 2.
 
Hopefully for the animals not very good. I think I'd try to figure out how to use your rifle correctly before even thinking of looking for a "shooter".

Do the deer in GMU12 stay on the private land year round? I am going there for the muzzleloader hunt starting 9/9/07.
Thanks Don
