Colorado deer hunt opinion

[Captnky]

Looking for opinions, I’ve hunted deer in Colorado only once, early rifle up high in the wilderness. OTC archery elk in the unit we were hunting but we were not seeing much for elk hunters as high as we were. Looked like a zoo down low.

Looking to cash in Colorado points (4) on a 3rd season public land deer hunt.

Would you stray away from the units that offered 3rd season OTC elk in preference of a unit that only has LE elk hunters? Or just go in with the thought that at the end of the day there will be elk hunters regardless and pick the unit that lends itself to your style of hunting?

I don’t let the presence of elk hunters change the tags I apply for. In my experience elk hunters in the field in Colorado was a plus. It kept deer on their feet and all the elk hunters wanted to tell you where they saw a good buck.
