I may have a chance to go hunt 61 for deer over in Colorado. What season would you hunt? Thanks in advance for any input.
 
not all of them froze to death. one lone deer survived! and it was a doe. so make sure you have an either sex tag!!! go 3rd season if you can!!!
 
61 got off easy this winter. Winter Kill should not be much of an issue. 4th season would be the best choice for a rifle hunter providing you can draw it. Most of the regulars on here know how I feel about landowner vouchers sold by, uhm, facilitators. If you can afford one directly from the landowner more power to you.

hey i told you 3rd season! 4th is better. but it depends if your buying or drawing did you put in for the tag or are you going to buy one?
 
Jorka,

You are welcome for absolutely nothing!

The draw deadline has long passed, so you must be looking at landowner tags. I heard the landowner 4th season tags went for $18K. The 3rd season is good too if you get the weather. Last year it was 70 degrees during the 3rd season. The deer will be rutting during the 4th season, and just at the beginning of the rut the 3rd season. A no brainer in my opinion if you had a choice between the two. Of course, a lot of people are of the opinion that the 3rd season is overrated and the 2nd season can be just as good or better while taking a lot less points to draw. I guess it depends on your situation (i.e. draw vs landowner tag, budget, weapon choice, etc.)

Unit 61 is a solid choice.Be careful spending money or points on the 3rd season.Very little rut when I drew in 05.4th season could be awesome!Big dumb bucks are easier!! Good luck BIGMOE
 
3rd or 4th season is always a gamble. No rut activity one year doesn't mean the same for the next. I know guys who have hit the rut right on the numbers in both 3rd and 4th seasons and done very well. Regardless of the rut, if you know how to hunt mule deer there are bucks there. Just adjust.

Probably more information than I should have given out for a "thanks for absolutely nothing comment". You need to hang out around here a little longer and be a little more gracious. There are guys on here that will help you out without asking anything in return. But, with comments like that I'm affraid you have shot yourself in the foot.


It's always an adventure!!!

Damn, he got more response than I did last year plus I had a tag and 750 posts, go figure!!!

Thanks to those of you that did PM me.
 
Well if the back way of finding out if you drew or not is correct then it looks like I was lucky enough to have drawn the 3rd season tag. I'm excited but will be more excited when the tag is my hand.


Good luck to everyone else.
