Hi all. I am planning on doing a early rifle deer hunt in CO. I have a few questions.
All these units have the early hunt. I went through and figured out how many points it would take to guarantee a tag in 2007 so that is what the other numbers are for.
Unit 6 and 7 -1
Unit 12,24,25,26,231 -7
Unit 14,16,161 -2
Unit 36 -3
Unit 43 -9
Unit 44,45,444 -4
Unit 47 -2
Unit 74 -7
Unit 82,86,861 -10
Unit 471 -2
I have done a lot of backpacking and backpack hunting so the physical part is not a problem. I tried to do as much research on the net as possible on these units since I don't live in CO. I only have 1 point so far.
My plan was to archery hunt 43 until I could get drawn for the rifle tag. But then I was thinking I could probably do just as well if I hunted some of the lower point units 3 times in the time it takes me to draw 43.
I also would like my dad to go on a high hunt in CO and he is getting up there in age so he would not be able to ever hunt any of the higher point units.
I am basically just asking if all of these units hold good bucks, or if in some units you would have almost no chance of a 180 plus buck? Like I said I am in great shape so it does not matter how far or how steep.
I like glassing from a high point all day so if the unit is mostly trees I would rather not hunt that type of place.
If some of you guys could point me in the right direction whether I should keep building points or if I should look at a lower point unit, that would be appreciated.
Sorry it was so long, I just tried to get all the info out there. Thanks a lot, Branden
