My daughter and son in law would like some help in applying for a good unit for mule deer and antelope. What would you recommend. Thanks for any help.
They could be Res with a ton of points! But in reality, probably only have a few points and NR, might even be Canadian residents lol. Heck, not even sure if they’re wanting to apply for this season.Hope they have a bunch of preference points.
To answer your questions: they are residents, no preference points since they are rookie hunters, they are wanting to apply this season and they are not that interested in big demand units more meat hunters to get started.They could be Res with a ton of points!

Where would be the best areas to do the research?You daughter and son in law should do some research. Never too late
I should have explained a little more. They are residents. They do not have preference points and are not looking for monsters. they would just like a fun hunt with chance to get some meat.My daughter and son in law would like some help in applying for a good unit for mule deer and antelope.

The CPW has a ton of information, publications and data to point one in the right direction for a good meat hunt. Look at the regional guides which are quite good. They talk about hunting pressure, harvest statistics and other good info to at least get a few basic areas picked out. When I started hunting I spent a ton of time on the website picking through data and then scribbling all over maps for public land, access, topography etc. These days we have GoHunt and other virtual scouting tools but I don’t pay for them because most if not all the data is on the CPW Website. Look at the harvest statistics, number of hunters and hunter days too. Good luck and then once you pick an area then the real work begins. Scout! And hunt!Where would be the best areas to do the research?
From the research I’ve been doing lately you might want to check out 3/301 or 11/211Where would be the best areas to do the research?
There are quite a few units they can draw with 0 points as residents, but most will have significant pressure. If they had help as first time hunters, I think they should be able to find a meat buck. How far from home do they want to travel? 18 is not that far from Denver and they should draw 2nd season with 0.From the research I’ve been doing lately you might want to check out 3/301 or 11/211
What unit do they live in? I'd start there and work my way out. Good bino's and a map or app like onx goes a long way. Nothing better than boots on the ground. Heck, they're way ahead of the game as residents.I should have explained a little more. They are residents.
