    Colorado Mule Deer - First Draw Hunt After Years of OTC

I have GoHunt filtering and have picked out several units in central CO I'm considering for fall of 2025 mule deer(3rd season).

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Yeah this will be my first elk hunt so I honestly wouldn't mind just locating elk, observing behavior, calling them etc. My biggest concern is just walking around for 7 days and not getting into sign or animals and thus learning less than I might have.

    Elk Distribution in Rocky Areas

    Thanks for this. Yes I’m seeing some small meadows interspersed with the timber so maybe I’ll try to glass or call up into these areas to see if I can.

    Archery Elk Hunting - Media Tactics vs Reality

    I kind of want to buy one of these Hoochie Mama calls I keep reading about. The actual reviews on them are pretty good. But I will say that I think I’ve got cow calls going pretty well on my diaphragm.

    Archery Elk Hunting - Media Tactics vs Reality

    Ok good deal thanks. I’ll probably end up doing a mix of both (sitting and calling)just for the fun of it.
