Title: Colorado archery deer
Post by: nwhunter on December 12, 2012, 09:22:43 PM: Anyone ever done one of the early high country mule deer hunts in Colorado with a bow. I have seen the videos like everyone else Im sure of all those velvet bucks above timberline in that beautiful high country. We have a couple points and have been throwing different ideas around and I know you can draw some of the better areas for archery with just a few points so curious if anyone on here has done that. I have hunted Colorado several times with a rifle in the late season so I know what that is like in the rut but havent tried it in August. nwhunter

The classic units or more south in the 70's but you are right they are 2-4pt tags

But I believe it takes a lot of points to draw it. If you only have a few points I would look at unit 43. I think it take about a point to draw.
