70 or 54

[fuzzyvelvet]

So I am trying to decide which hunt I should do next year in Colorado. 4th season 70 or 3rd season 54. I can see pros and cons both ways. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I liked the 70 4th season but that was me. I have never hunted 54.

What is your experience in 70? PM me if you prefer. I just finished the 3rd season 70 with my wife and don't know what to think.

I had a great time. The nuber of deer was nothing short of crazy. I took a 170 class buck but saw a few that were much bigger. I would and will go back some day.

When did you hunt? Last year? Do you have pics of your buck you could post?

 

[Utah400Elk]

Yes last year and I have some pics. I will try and post them.

My deer is 28 wide and scores about 173. He sat at 115 yards for over five minutes while I decided if I should shoot him. There were better but in the end he is my best buck to date. Here are a few photos:

Nice buck! Thanks for posting up pics. Anyone have a recent hunt on 54 to compare??

unit 70 for lots and lots of deer, and a few good bucks. Unit 54 for very few deer but a decent chance at killing a great buck.
