Colorado Unit 3?

Just wondering if anyone drew a tag for unit 3 around Craig, Colorado? It's got one of the highest deer populations in the country and it's one of my favorite places to hunt deer. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be leavin California to hunt this year ](*,)
So now I'm curious to see if anybody else is gonna be huntin there?

I won't be hunting there this year, but I have 4 preference points for deer in Colorado and I am wandering what unit to apply for next year for a good muley. I have taken several smaller deer and am looking for that once in a lifetimer. Any ideas?

 A late season 3 tag is a good one, as well is 54,55,551 & 10. To be honest almost every unit in the state of Colorado has nice bucks. Since we went with the 100% draw and cut the number of tags, our deer are looking great. :)

 Now if they would just manage more units for better bull to cow ratios with an older age class we would have great elk hunting quality to go along with all ths quanity.


It amazes me how a state like Colroado is not taking advantage of the elk herd and managing for more trophy bulls.

There some some talk about all bull tags going to a draw like deer of course there would left overs still

First off hows it going guys this is my first post. I drew a muley tag for unit 3 3rd season The 2 other guys that i drew with backed out on me and they had hunted there before. :-k So im out of luck as far as having some one at least point there finger and say park there and hunt that area sort of thing. im also thinking about buying a bull tag over the counter , I have heard from some that if you get some weather in there a little earley that the elk make there way down in to that area to winter. Any help would be great. Buy no means do i want to hijack this trend. So please PM me. Thanks guys for a cool site. You guys talk my language.
