Unit 55/Gunnison district.

I got drawn for bow season muley buck in unit 55/Gunnison. I see that their numbers are way down. I'm looking to do a pack in trip, maybe around fossil ridge area. I haven't had much luck getting ahold of biologists to speak with out there.

Could anyone give me some insight to this area, are most of the deer going to be at around 11,000 feet, areas that don't get as much hunting pressure? The NDIS site shows most of the mule deer to be located up around Gunnison?????


Thanks

I don't know the specific area and have only been through there a few times. But please read the high coutry thread and know that those guys are right. Those bucks will be up at the very highest points in basins with good habitat and will likley still be in bachelor groups. Get up high, do some hiking, look for rough areas and you'll find them.

Good hunting.
