Thanks for the infoI hunted 4th season last year on a re-issued tag. There were plenty of deer and a bunch of small bucks. The biggest buck I saw alive was around 165". All the deer I saw killed during the 4th season were 2 and 3 points.
I did see two good deer that were killed. One was on the last day of 3rd season, and the other was the day after 3rd season was over. The one killed the day after the season was over was a big deer on any unit.
I would classify the unit as an opportunity hunt. They are not managing the unit to produce mature deer.
Been there, done that, and never going back. You can PM me if you have other questions.

I should have worded that better. It was the day after 3rd season was over, but there are different season dates for Native Americans for the area than the ones set by CDOW. The buck was legal and big.The day after the season was over? What happened?
They really clean out the bigger deer.I should have worded that better. It was the day after 3rd season was over, but there are different season dates for Native Americans for the area than the ones set by CDOW. The buck was legal and big.
Yeah kinda what I've gathered. I'll be hunting this year 3rd season so hopefully me and my dad can get lucky and find a couple decent ones. If not it'll be a fun trip either way.I’ve hunted 3rd season every year for the past 7 years. We have shot a few nice bucks 170-ish. But I definitely wouldn’t expect that. It’s a good unit to go see deer and maybe see one or two shooters if your lucky, but you’ll mostly going to see a handful of 2-3 year old bucks each day. We put on an average of 5-6 miles a day hiking.
How did your hunt go?Yeah kinda what I've gathered. I'll be hunting this year 3rd season so hopefully me and my dad can get lucky and find a couple decent ones. If not it'll be a fun trip either way.
