I was one of 25 lucky enough to draw a special hunting permit for Lone Mesa State Park (CO, unit 711) during 2nd rifle season. I'm curious if anyone here has drawn that permit before, and if so, I'd like to hear about your experiences and overall thoughts on that area. I've hunted right next door in unit 71 a couple years, so I have a general understanding of terrain, harvest stats, herd numbers...I'm more interested if you thought the permit was worth its cost and you'd put in for it again, if you felt opportunity was better in the park with this permit than areas outside of it, overall thoughts on the quality/quantity of game the park holds, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!
