I've got 10 points that I'm ready to cash in for a Colorado early season high country rifle hunt. I've made several trips out west to hunt elk and pronghorn but I'm pretty new to hunting mule deer. I've made 2 archery trips to NM trying to get all the experience that I can before I cash in my points. At 50 and a non-resident I don't want to waste these points. One of my biggest limiting factors is that I will not have a 4WD vehicle (college tuition is killing me). All that being said, I'm looking at units 43 and 65. With 10 points I could definitely draw 43 but I might have to wait another year or two to draw 65.
Success rate is higher in 65 than in 43, but 43 appear to have a slightly higher buck/doe ratio. 43 also looks like it might be more accessible in a 2WD vehicle. Is 65 worth the wait? I would love to get to some feedback from some hunters who are familiar with these units. Thanks.
