Delores triangle deer hunt.

rmanwill · Nov 18, 2023

Today is the opener of the Delores rifle hunt. Any luck or MM'ers on the unit?

With the weather, wondering if many of the bucks have moved over from Colorado unit 40. Hope the hunt is successful for anyone with a tag.

Hope they move soon. Son has one of the 4 muzzy tags in there in a week and a half.

My son drew a tag, but he expressed zero interest in going, so I returned the tag.
With the storms coming through maybe it would’ve been a good one.

Hoping the few small snow storm and and colder weather will help!!!

10 days with my son enjoying the wall tent and the outdoors will be great. With only 4 tags it will be interesting if the deer show.

rmanwill - seems like you have hunted this tag before and done well. Best of luck to your group!

Hunted it last year. Most of the deer moved in early due to early snow storms.

Learned the unit with older son and made some great memories with him with a great buck.

Hoping a few have moved in and will keep coming for the next couple weeks.

We will make it enjoyable and memorable no matter what.

Founder,
Didn't you turn a tag back for a Elk hunt, not sure if it was this year or last?

?better take the hunts while there still giving them out.

Sent my son's tag back in. He didn't seem to have much interest. He's going to school and working, so a bit difficult for him. I'd be curious to hear if anyone had any success.

Was it for the Delores rifle hunt that's going right now?

Wish you had kept it so you could tell me what the muzzleloader hunt has in store for my son starting next wed. Hopefully the rifle hunters save a few good ones for us 4 muzzleloader hunters!!! I will let you now what we see.

rmanwill,
My buddy and I went for a ride to Dolores today. There’s a good 8” of snow at the Utah, Colo, boarder from the storm last night into this morning. Lots of deer at the top of the unit spread out to the Dolores river rock. You are in for a great hunt!

Just finding this thread now. Great Buck! My son had a tag in Delores 5 years ago and got a nice buck. We as some other good bucks as well. It's a fun place to hunt. Interested if you guys were able to see many bucks?
