CO Uni1 Mule Deer Hunting

[Bobi_Elk]

Hi Folks.....I am new here and this is my first post. I have received a call from CWP few days ago mentioned that someone return his Unit 1 Buck license for 2nd season and I am the one can get that instead burning my 6 points.
Have anyone ever hunted in that area before either Elk of Deer? I am not looking for anyone honey hole or special spot just want to have some basic information to start my homework. I know that the area is very remote and access to there is very limited. I am living in Denver and will scouting there in August or September. I am appreciated for any input. Thank you!

I am 99% sure you will need to burn your 6 points to get this tag.

Not sure why you even put in for it in the first place with absolutely no knowledge of what to expect.

It's very rough and has tons of private property. The best hunting is land locked by private, or monument. Good luck

Why were you wanting to draw it with your 6 points but now question taking it as a reissue/alternate? Based on that I’d say don’t take it, especially living in denver. Unless you have some serious experience or knowledge of the unit you haven’t mentioned.

Thanks for your reply. I think I can not hunt in monument. What I read from CWP and others posts, it looks northern and southern end of Brown park may be good spots for buck. Have you ever hunt in that area? I know there are some roads passing private properties but I am not sure if we are allowed to take those road and reach southern part of the unit.

I already accepted the license and now doing my research as much as I can

Might want to drive out there and check out the roads pre-hunt.

 

[tailchasers]

Bring lots of provisions and plan on staying out there. Might be easier coming in from the Utah side too. Cool country but that area is rough, rough, & rough. The area also experiences significant poaching that affects quality.

No the monument is a no go for hunting, that was my point, most of the unit is locked up with private, and monument. There is some blm on the south side that is accessible but it's not much area to hunt.

Just out of curiosity what made you put in for the hunt?

OP, I sent you a PM.

I found that this unit is the one I may het a license with 6 point and is one the best CO north west units.

One of the best huh? But only takes 6 points, and many years it has only been 2 or 3. Sure sounds like one of the best to me.

I know the unit fairly well, I live 30 miles away, I would love to have the tag but as a non resident that's all but impossible, i also wouldn't call it one of the best deer units, it's a good unit but there's better for sure.

There is a reason it takes so few points for residents. It's a dang tough hunt.

I wish you luck.

Maybe Jake could sell you some gps coordinates? Maybe even hire him for a guide? Dude knows the unit well enough. Might be a win win for both guys

 

[treedagain]

Good bucks if you know where to look. But it is a tough unit to just put in/draw/then just show up to hunt.

 

[elks96]

Yeah you better get out there and start looking to know what you are in for… not much country, but lots of steep nasty. Some potential, but I know many 2-3 point resident units I would take.

roads can get wicked and with later season dates a good snow storm could all but shut you out of the country.

 

[elks96]

Rugged rough not an easy hunt at all. Definitely not even on my radar for top 10, probably even top 20 deer hunts in the state.

 

[The_Coloradoboy]

Damn tough hunt.... tough access, tough country, and low deer densities.

 

[Ramaha]

At least you have a tag in an area that has some nice Muley Bucks in it. Plan hard, scout hard, and hunt hard. Enjoy the complete experience.

Congrats on your tag!

I tried getting you a guide, sounds like I struck out ?

I have hunted it before. It's a pretty tough hunt. If you hunt hard you could get a 170-180 buck. There are a few bigger one but very few and on private. Good luck.
