CO 2nd vs 3rd Seasons

[IrkedCitizen]

NW Colorado 3rd season last year was absolutely unreal for our group. The rut was WIDE open, and there were deer seemingly around every bend. I’m talking big deer right against the road chasing does and bucks fighting. Even with the warm weather, I don’t see how it could’ve gotten much better for our group. One of those weeks where everything just clicked. Last year was a far cry from 3 years ago when mule deer in general were hard to come by. It was like the winter kill never happened last year.View attachment 1049677View attachment 1049676View attachment 1049678View attachment 1049679View attachment 1049680

Just an FYI, it's a carcass tag not an antler tag. Even with the head still attached they can give you a ticket. Congrats on your hunt though. You guys did good

I would go third. Better chance for weather and closer to the full swing of the rut

It depends on how well you know the unit and where the deer are at that time of the year. Some units the deer have already migrated by 2nd season and others they are just starting. 3rd season there is always that chance of something you’ve never seen before just showing up!

I got 3rd season so here’s hoping it isn’t summer time like it was last year during 3rd.

I’d bet on it being hot, then you won’t be disappointed!
