My 83 year old dad drew his Ft. Carson first season deer 0ct 10-25. I spend a lot on time overseas and this is going to be maybe the last time I will be able help him get we nice deer and spend some time together for a while. Dad is fairly fit for his age but with two knee replacements mostly the hunting would be restricted to spotting from the truck and a few hundred yards to get in position or waiting at a good spot. Dad would be thrilled with a 170 plus buck. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hey Ted, glad to hear your dad drew a tag. Any time a guy can hunt with his dad it is going to be a good hunt! I hope you get plenty of good info. Good luck on the hunt!

Getting some good info through pm's here and Bowsite...sorry to hear about your 61 reject....really sucks to get your hopes up for a tag......I heard you guys have a bumper crop of pheasants
 
Glad you are getting some info. I am starting to get some info about Unit 61 deer also. We did have another good year for pheasants last year. Hopefully it will be just as good this year but it is too early to say for sure.

170 shouldnt be a problem on carson....unless winter kills droped them in the last 2 years...I was there in 2005-2007...seen alot of nice deer out in the field...only problems is if a range is hot...

has anyone seen my kittie
 
Nope haven't seen your kittie.... butwho's cooler that Ralph Wiggins...ha

I don't think they have had any sort of a winter kill the front range is pretty nice to the deer in the winter....so what you saw should be bigger I hope...they have shortened the season from last year so wtih the restrictions it might complicate it a bit.....but I am determined to make it happen.....dad is getting excited....
 
if i could figure out how to do it, i would show u some the biggest deer i have ever seen 5 mins off of base.the smallest deer was pushing 150...one was 200 plus...also up by quail lake ad the same thing happen to me on the football field crossing into the brush.. seen a huge 6 point whitey off of accademy turning towards fountain on 83/85 if you know whereany of that is....i thought ralph was fitting he is asking for bobcat bessy

I am getting squred away opn maps and some of the procudeures on the base. I read in the paper that they are bringing in a surge of troops to Ft. Carson. I hope it does not complicate coming and going on the base with all the extra troops. Lat year the season was like four months now just two weeks. I am hearing there are some great bucks on Ft.Carson and it sounds like it will be a perfect hunt for my dad. Thanks for the info.

Huntnfever I am all ears and have pretty much a wide open scedule until I leave on the 6th of July.

Again thanks for the info greatly appreicated
