They're saving all the game for us 3rd season guys.

I was thinking the same thing...I guess the season isn't over yet..

Everyone is boycotting Colorado remember??? There are no pics to be seen. Turns out not a single out of state hunter came hunting this year...

Here is mine and my friends 2nd season bucks from unit #3 /301 i have been hunting this area since 2004 this year was the slowest/ fewest deer sightings I've ever seen! My friends buck was a stag no testicals still in full velvet! I killed my buck today with 10 min left to hunt. I saw one other buck about like this one just wider I also saw some huge bulls killed by other people in trucks.

Brian all I can say is wow! That's an awesome mule deer! Congrats to him! What part of the state did that deer come from?

It's been the toughest year I've seen in a while. The warm temps make it tough. They're wearing their coats rated at 20 below zero, so even 30 degrees in the morning is somewhat warm.
I'm getting my butt handed to me. I guess on the bright side, I don't have to pay for taxidermy! And no packing meat out and spending all day butchering it....... I'd rather kill a big one. One day left for me.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-13 AT 09:31PM (MST)[p]I talked to a taxidermist the other day he told me that blue tongue was probably the cause of the stags? Anybody ever heard of that? Mechuck that's a nice deer congrats! Was his antlers soft? The tips of my friends was. We done some research on velvet bucks & the best method for preserving them was to have it freeze dried so my buddy's shipping his to somebody.

I hunted unit 33 with my wife. It sucked. I am not sure if I will ever hunt it again. Too many people not one buck over 3 years old. I never once even got excited. We hunted our butts off, seeing over 14 legal bulls and at least over 300 and one real close.

The deer were not moving and the road hunters shot every single spike/forky in the area (no kidding I know of 14 spikes that were shot off the does).

Overall the hunt quality sucked, too many atvs and no animals. Weather was rough, but we never saw a single buck that was over 3 years old.
