LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-11 AT 01:21PM (MST)[p]I was there Oct7 thru the 12 for the muzzy elk hunt. Southern CO got snow that weekend but we were already seeing plenty of resident deer.Unit 2 is most popular because of the migrating deer but does have alot of resident deer , and resident bucks.We saw more deer/bucks than ever,one real good looking 3x3 that was wide and heavy and another 4x4 with nice eye guards around that 170 mark , but we stay south of 64.FR 310 is a free way up to Carracas, but they are working on a huge project throughout American Mesa and it's crazy with heavy equipment and roughnecks driving up there.Yeah they kill lots of great bucks from 310,some guys from Farmington wacked a great 7x7 bull opening morning right off 310, but we stay along ways from there.
To answer the question , yes the snow has already hit southern CO and yes the deer are already there, more to come I'm sure, but there's a bunch already cozyed up there.Best of luck...That magic that is UNIT2 is there, I cannot wait to get back up there, so until then , hunt hard,shoot straight and share pics...just keep your honey holes to yourselves...
