Colorado Book Cliffs? Unit 30

[BellyUp]

My brothers and I drew 30 this year. We have hunted 11, 22, 6, 63. Was wondering if y’all had some info on trespass fee places or some general tid bits. Thanks

Trespass fee hunting ain’t much of a thing around here and I hope it stays south of the Colorado border.

Thanks for the response. I understand I wouldn’t want somebody coming to hunt at my neighbors ranch.

Hmmm... It's been my experience that most every chunk of private land in Colorado is associated with a hunt trespass fee of some sort. It is definitely not a new idea or movement here in this state.

I don't have any names for you but onx maps should be able give you a few.

Good luck,

Todd

Thanks Todd for the response! I highly doubt we do any pay to hunt fee type of thing we are on a budget. One thing is for sure though we will hunt and glass as hard as we can. Hope we get some weather.

Anyone have any thoughts on east or west side of the unit?

The East side burned pretty bad two summers ago.

Thanks. Beanman. So we have one decent winter and one bad winter for veg growth in the burn. You know how the land is fairing after the fire?

I've noticed some areas having really nice "green-up" considerably more so than others. Some with little any green at all. Those flushing monsoons last year were drainage specific and have really had a dramatic affect on the landscapes. Some of the best revegged areas are on benches and drainage floors. This years more average spring has really helped the forbs and grasses.

It’s patchy. Fairly large areas burned so hot that roots and seeds are dead. Oakbrush comes back fast from most fires but the east end nearby where I live has not come back much.

Kind of an understatement because for about three weeks it was the largest fire in Colorado history

I know what you are dealing with. We’re I live we have large fires also. Tragic for the human impact, but for nature it’s the way it goes! We have found the animals thrive after a couple years after a large fire. That’s saying with proper wildlife management. Thanks for the replies
