There are some different AirBNB around in that area and the Nucla area.Looking for a place to rent from Aug 07 to Sept 30. Was planning to stay at the Rimrock in Naturita but it looks like that is not going to work.
Any ideas?

It was defiantly a Suprise to us that she drew it. It sure changes your hunting plans in a hurry.Wow, someone actually draws those.

You must not have been around it in the 80’s. Big change in deer populations of both 62 and 61.The population estimate of the Uncompahgre herd was 10,300 with 33% buck to doe in 2022.
There are only 9 DAU's out of 55 in Colorado with higher deer populations. And, there are only two units that comprise this DAU. Units 61 and 62. Most DAU's have more units with less total deer. In terms of population, it's a top 20% DAU in the state.
But, I guess the deer migrated to 62 along with all of the elk. Funny, I keep seeing both in 61, lol.

You said "except there are very few deer in 61 anymore", and that's just not true. Look at the inventory numbers.You must not have been around it in the 80’s. Big change in deer populations of both 62 and 61.
They are big units, but divide the size by the deer inventory and its still a top 20% DAU. It's just a hard unit to hunt. You really can't glass it well and much of it is dense. That doesn't mean the cats ate 'em all.But man are those 2 units massive.
I hunted with my dad when I was a little kid in 61 before it became a draw area. More so in 62. He said there were no deer when he was a kid in the 50’s yet they could get tags for 4. It got really good in the 70’s. Started heading downhill in the early 80’s and never has recovered. The point restriction has helped. Colorado needs to get a handle on their predators.
Thanks. Yeah, I am checking them out. Rimrock finally called back and it looks like that is on.There are some different AirBNB around in that area and the Nucla area.
Indeed! No regrets! Very nice!
I do know some camping areas around 61 depending on which side and where you’re wanting to hunt. You could DM me if you’d like and I could help you out.Thanks. Yeah, I am checking them out. Rimrock finally called back and it looks like that is on.
Price and convenience are big.
Are you up to date on camping areas?
I’m up there for 30-40 days in the summer and hunt cow elk there as well. My observations are based on spending many days up there for years. Very few deer anymore.You said "except there are very few deer in 61 anymore", and that's just not true. Look at the inventory numbers.
C'mon man, you're comparing it to the way it was 40 years ago.
Of course it's changed in 40 years. Most everything, everywhere has changed in the last 40 years.
Great. I am out of town helping an aging relative so I have been slow to reply.I do know some camping areas around 61 depending on which side and where you’re wanting to hunt. You could DM me if you’d like and I could help you out.
Hi. I am returning home tomorrow and will try messaging this week. Thank you.I do know some camping areas around 61 depending on which side and where you’re wanting to hunt. You could DM me if you’d like and I could help you out.
It’s quite green and lots of flowers. More chokecherry blossoms than I’ve seen in quite a while. Saw a nice bear below Windy Point.Hope you had fun and things begin to green up.
I drew a muzzleloader hybrid. Never thought that really happened, but changed plans drasticallyIt was defiantly a Suprise to us that she drew it. It sure changes your hunting plans in a hurry.
