I know that’s the worst part about Colorado. I’m done going for high point units after this. I think i would rather hunt more often even if quality isn’t as good.

It is what it is. I like to hunt where I live, but it isn’t always the easiest.

I’m still building points too because I’d rather hunt where I live as well. After I draw a buck tag next, it will be doe tags from then on. I’d rather hunt doe’s in the archery or muzzleloader season every year rather then get a buck tag every 6-8 years. It keeps taking longer & longer to get a buck tag.

I'll be headed out with my son on a doe tag. Its in a new area and I went out last weekend to look around, plenty of targets vs land available, should be fairly easy to fill (much easier than looking for a specific buck). I'll bring along a 22lr and shotgun for rabbit opportunity also.

Yep I’m gonna get 2-3 more points then I’ll take my oldest out, I think it’s the best big game trip for kids! Generally see plenty of pronghorn and get to stalk and almost always harvest enjoy!

Yep they've been on hunts (my tags or theirs) a couple times, it definitely is a good one for kids since its not dawn/dusk reliant. Yeah my success rate even on marginal tags is nearly perfect, just a matter of how hard/long you want to grind it out on those marginal tags trying to catch them on public land. His last hunt his brother filled his tag but he didn't, that was one of those marginal ones and he got burnt out trying to seek out the slim pickings (I think this is the only pronghorn tag I've hunted that hasn't been filled). This unit had a good amount of land with critters on it so it should go well for him this go around.

At least you found a shady spot.
Good luck!

After 3 days of scouting and 2 days of hunting it all came together.
My buddy and myself probably looked over 50 bucks In two days and on the second day in the heat of the day was able to take this beautiful buck as he was coming into water.
It was so awesome he died only 50 yards from where we could get the ranger so we just picked him up and carried him down by the pond, loaded him whole and proceeded toward camp where we butchered and capped him.
We had a wonderful time and just like always I’m bummed it’s over.
