Colorado Mule deer 2020?

[mickeyelk]

I have 3 NR points and would like to use them this year. Have hunted 41/42/421 5 or 6 times but want to move to another area. I was looking at 62 3rd season this year. Also one of my concerns is taking a small toyhauler into the area during that season. Any good spots to park. If drawn is it better to hunt the East side of West side of the area? Is a Rzr useful. I'm not a road hunter nomally is there areas to get back in. Just looking for info now before the draw deadline. I was also looking at the northwest side of the state. I hunt elk in unit 67 1st season. Is the area clear of all the beetle damage that was there 4-5 years back. Thanks alot for reading my post.

62 is going to be about the same story as 41/42/421. Full on pumpkin patch, lots of road warriors and below average numbers. If I guys willing to dump into some of the canyons he could be rewarded.

I read somewhere that 62 was the most popular OTC elk unit in the state.

It’s certainly one of them that’s for sure.

The 1 time I hunted 62 1st season bull I tagged a good OTC 6point bull. Really did not see many people.

If you hunted 1st rifle season OTC, it was a LONG time ago. That has been a limited tag for lots of years now.

Currently it is pretty heavily hunted for elk because it is OTC (in later rifle seasons) and because it is next to 61

Tx Elk takes 0 points for NR in 67, but deer looks like 3 points 3rd rifle. Thanks
