Just found out my son and I drew 3rd rifle Unit 21 mule deer. Looking forward to spending some quality time with my son. Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all!
Thanks for the info. I'm hopeful if we get off the roads we can turn up a good buck. I don't understand the logic of unlimited elk tags in a trophy deer unit. Puts a lot of pressure on the deer and really messes with the hunt.The bucks should be starting to rut pretty good by the 3rd season. Deer numbers may be a fraction of what they were a few years ago and mature buck numbers are also likely super low due to horrible winterkill 2 seasons ago and poor management by the CPW. As mentioned above, be prepared for an orange army of elk hunters since it is an OTC elk unit. Be prepared to do a lot of looking for the few mature bucks that exist. Unfortunately, the CPW has pounded the older age class bucks with late rut rifle season dates and higher number of deer tags with a declining deer population.
When all is said and done, be sure to fill out your harvest report and add comments in regard to your dis-satisfaction of the number of mature bucks in a limited unit that takes quite a few years to draw. I hope that's not the case with your hunt but definitely keep it in mind. It's pretty sad to see the quality of mature bucks in that corner of Colorado take suck a spiral in quality.
Sorry to paint a poor picture, but I sincerely hope you have a great time hunting gorgeous country with your son. You ought to have a great time fishing the Green!
