There are general seasons from mid. Oct into Dec. The late seasons are the most difficult draw.

Thank you bud! I need to fill my bucket list with a Coues deer. I’m a novice at this and will trade info for deer or elk in western Colorado

I guided in the Weminuche WA & near Hermosa Creek during the 1970s. Where are you located?

Care to PM me some Hermosa favorites in exchange for some young elk meat?

Man, it's been almost 50 yrs.

Our main camp was about a 4-5-hr. horseback trek at the upper end of the Purgatory ski area a bit off the Hermosa Creek Trail. Not a lot of pressure back them, but I bet that has changed somewhat.

This where we started from:

When the deer draw rolls around, feel free to pm me as well. I still get around down there in AZ a little. You can buy me that beer instead of an “x” in the bottom of a canyon somewhere.

I’m uneducated on this because I’m a new newby!
I’ll look into the draw dates

seems like the regs come out in May and the deadline is in June. I’m more of a north half of the state guy, but have spent some time around the southern part.

That's more like it.

I drove up to GJ once when I lived at Vallecito Lake near Durango in the 1970s. Back then, CDOW had a TV program on Thurs. nights. I had to go up there to do a live show on pike fishing at the lake. Even though I stayed overnight at the I&E guy's house, I didn't get to see much of GJ.

Ping me CoMan if you ever pick up a bow. I can point in the right direction. I bowhunt the late season every year.

Funny story, we were bowhunting the Mexican border near Arivaca one year and as many know, its the Wild West down there with illegals, drug runners etc. A total **** show and back then it wasn't legal to pack a handgun- the border guys thought we were nuts hunting that country only armed with a bow. We would get stopped by Border agents every single day- no guff and buzzed by their jet copter with infrared.

We met one guy helping his buddy but he had previously hunted on a rifle tag closer to Douglas. He said he was sneaking around before light and as the sun came up he made a good shot on a Coues buck...when all of a sudden 20 Mexicans stood up 50 yds away with their hands up walking towards him surrendering.

Probably don’t want to bow hunt
Sold my bow a couple years ago.
Thanks for the offer though!!!
