Hey MM,
I have 5 points I'm looking to use in the next year or two on a mule deer hunt in CO (would be 6 points next year).
Mostly interested in a late rifle hunt as I'd rather hunt elk during the bow seasons.
Most years obviously the 4th season seems to be the preferred season but this years 3rd season dates are what would typically be 4th season from what I can tell.
I'm looking at some units in the NW portion of the state. I'm not holding out for a monster but am looking for something other than a forky haha. If anyone wants to PM me I'd be stoked to run the units by you or even get other suggestions on how to use the points if you want to share but mainly just looking for opinions on which season to try for this year.
Is there such a thing as 4th season being too late? It's a real chance that point creep will hurt the 3rd season odds this year as others jump into the draw (and 4th season includes Thanksgiving this year). If you were applying this year would you be looking to hunt 3rd or 4th season?
3rd Season - 11/13-11/19 - Saturday to Friday
4th Season - 11/24-11/28 - Wednesday to Sunday (including Thanksgiving)
