Drew this tag for the second time, last being 2009. Was looking to hear from some recent hunters on their thoughts on the hunt recently. Had a great time back in 2009. Lots of bucks, but most in the 140-160 range. Also was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on hunting up high to start, I stayed low and looking back wonder if the bigger bucks were up higher??

Thanks NS
 
I would say for the 3rd season it is totally weather dependent. The unit has gone down over the past ten years but we have done the best lower when there was good snow up high. In dry years the deer seem to be scattered and a lot of deer get hung up in the private.
 
Hunted 3rd last year. I was very disappointed. The local gamey just shrugged.

There are still deer to be had as with every Colorado unit, but the only good deer I saw was a 4th season buck here on MM.
 
Going to be a tough one. Sounds like it dropped way off. Boots to the ground and binos to the hills! Did you hunt up high or stay down low?
 
Ended up staying low towards end of season because despite the weather, the rut was starting to kick in and I tried to find concentrations of does.
