COLORADO DEER 09

[sharpshooter]

Guys,
Looking to get rid of 9 points in CO. this year. I am a rifle hunter and would prefer to shoot a BIG whitetail. I know this may sound crazy but I am worried about the die offs with the muleys. I don't mind paying a trespass fee but would prefer not to hunt with an outfitter.Just don't have the $$$$ in this economy. I have coached a football tem the last 10 years and now it's time to hunt again! Any suggestions?

I would consider two things: (1) You have already aquired 9 points; and (2) you want a BIG whitetail.

The majority of the Eastern plains (whitetail) units do not require 9 points, but the better areas are tied up and leased by outfitters!

My recommendation would be to take a serious look at the late rifle hunt in unit 103, and hunt the state/public lands around Bonny res. and the Republican River. The limited number of tags in this area require up 9 to 12 points, but in my opinion may be your best bet for a Coloarado do it yourself, public land, trophy whitetail hunt.
