Title: Colorado Deer
Post by: jjhunter on May 16, 2017, 09:01:56 AM
Looks like back door is showing results for deer. 

Early rifle tag for me!

I hope it isn't up for CO residents yet, means I didn't draw if it is

Points only for deer this year but all in for elk. I guess I need to wait a few more days.

I did points only this year.

Don't trust back door action

Hopefully it's correct. Early September rifle hunt above timberline for me if it's correct.

What units did everyone put in for? 4 of us put in separately for unit 30 for the 3rd rifle season. I have 12 points, mom 11, dad and brother both have 10. Were hoping to all get drawn, to do a family deer trip. Probably the last hunt my mom will do just because she doesn't really hunt anymore. All of us are going to go regardless just hoping for all of us to draw. Statistically we should have a good chance for half of us to draw

If it holds true then no dice for me this year

Nothing for me.

Nothing, again.
Title: Re: Colorado Deer
Post by: Miles on May 23, 2017, 05:41:23 AM
Shows I pulled a deer tag, but I put in for an easy to draw unit so I could get out and hunt this year.  I figure any unit in this state is better then the units I hunted in wa, so why not?

In case I forgot to mention... Colorado is a great state to live in.  Anyone want to buy 5.5 acres in the Spokane county/ airway heights area?

CO backdoor elk is showing now too, at least I got my cow tag

So now what to do... take my second season cow, get an OTC bull and hunt both at the same time... or rifle cow and archery either sex...

Weird... I'm not showing elk, and I should've drawn according to the odds.  Oh well, if not I'll get OTC.

Nothing showing for elk for me. Does anyone know if all the elk results are viewable through the back door at once or do they trickle in some at a time?  I think I should have had enough points to draw this year.  :dunno:

I'm betting not all are in.  Like I said, I put in for one that I should've easily drawn...  I'm going to just wait until the official results are out.

Out of curiosity did any one else here put in for unit 30?
Title: Re: Colorado Deer
Post by: muleyslayer on May 23, 2017, 09:44:45 AM
If the back door is correct I drew an easy to draw deer tag!

According to this, I drew a muzzle elk tag

Title: Re: Colorado Deer

But Wait!! They took the results page down.  "All draw results are pending. Please check back this afternoon for updated results. Thank​ you." Another state having drawing issues. Yikes!!  :bash:

043 early rifle

043 early rifle

Congrats on your tag JJ. I drew 43 4th rifle in 2013. Weather didn't cooperate & the deer were not down low in the area I hunted. I killed a small buck the last 30 minutes of season on the last day. I'll shoot you a copy of an email I got from a Colorado hunter that used to work for an outfitter in the area.

Kill a monster.

That would be excellent!  I'll take all the help I can get!

You have potential for a 160-180 buck there.

So like a general Montana tag?   :chuckle:

Wish I could get on the site to confirm my draw😡
Title: Re: Colorado Deer

The site is working again! I got bit by the point creep bug. Got an unsuccessful for my elk tag.  :bash: 2018 Colorado here I come. I hope.

It's now official that I drew. 14 points gone.

Finally drew Unit 70 3rd season. 
Title: Re: Colorado Deer
Post by: jjhunter on June 01, 2017, 06:31:30 PM
Looks like they increased the tags in 70 and NR could draw with 3.

Nice, hopefully it's a good hunt and I can go every few years.

It's a fun hunt.  Lots of deer.  Half of Texas is there.   :chuckle:

No deer tag, but got my cow elk for 2nd season. Also going to get an OTC either sex archery tag.

4 of us drew Unit 30. 3rd Season. Last time I was there about 10 years ago ( dad had a tag) all the deer were low. Hopefully they'll do it again. When I checked for my dads deer tag I checked his elk points he has 24 points. I think he may try next year or 2019 to draw an elk tag.

I bet that hunt was epic in 2007!

It was I got to go but not for the reason I wanted to go. Grandpa had a stroke that summer so mom told dad to go and take me. All the deer were down low. Passed up a nice forkie the evening we got there. Saw about 15 bucks and got a nice 3x3.

Looks like a bull elk and/or buck kind of hunting week.   Same unit, same dates.
Title: Re: Colorado Deer
Post by: cem3434 on June 04, 2017, 10:52:23 AM
What unit Miles and how many points? Should be a good time being able to chase both bulls and bucks at the same time. The anxiety of chasing both at the same time would drive me crazy. :chuckle:

Unit 7/8.   It was an easy to draw unit.   It's my first year here and with zero points my options were limited.   I've spent 4 days up there scouting so far and I think I should be able to make something happen...

Unit 22, 3rd season for me and hunt partner.
Title: Re: Colorado Deer

22 3rd should be a fun hunt.

Ya, we're really looking forward to the hunt.  Haven't found a lot of reliable information about the area yet, but research still in progress.  Hoping for weather.

I'm sure if you go on MonsterMuleys and do a search you will find some stuff or people you can ask about it.
