A buddy and I are planning to do a 3rd season deer hunt in CO in 2014, and two of the units we're considering are 52/521. I'm wondering whether on an average year most of the deer are typically down off the public land and onto private by 3rd season? I realize this will vary with weather year to year, just wondering about an average year.
The only other CO hunt we've done was 62 3rd season for deer back in 2010, which we could draw again this year, but that hunt was slim pickens as far as deer sightings. I get the impression from what I'm reading that 62 deer are not bouncing back very well from the big winter year. We'd like to find a CO 3rd season deer hunt we could do every couple of years with decent quality potential, and begin to learn the area. I'd be willing to trade info on eastern Idaho or western Wyoming. Thanks
