Those areas cover a lot of ground. From what I have seen by just driving and glassing it was hurt the least in this area. There is a lot of lower winter ground for the animals. Good luck!

I would have never guessed that the winter kill would have been so bad.

The mature bucks took a beating, (along with the fawn crop). I have been out this year and have only seen 2 bucks over 160. I found numerous winter kill mature bucks.

Save your points and let this area recover.

Just kidding!!!! Winter kill was about normal. Plenty of low winter country for these deer. They are not trapped in a basin like the Gunnison area deer.

Nice you had me with that one.. By the way I have a 4th season tag for this area and dont think I will be getting another one any time soon as this year I think (and Hope) it is a sleeper. Being the first year to have a 4th season deer hunt with only 17 total 4th season tags there should be a few nice bucks killed there. If there is any Nice deer left to be Killed
 
Justin-have you looked up towards the Book Cliffs at all? I've heard the winter kill wasn't bad but haven't had a chance to look around.

thx

Just like any western colorado unit you can kill a 180 class buck with a few smokers running around. I dont spend a whole lot of time in these unit as compared to some others in the area though.

Lot of snow on top this spring to keep everything wet and growing. Bucks wont lose any hornage due to being hungry.
 
Doug;
South side of books is fine. North may have been a little harder for the deer but winterkill wasnt bad.

I have found plenty of bucks up there this summer.
