There is phenomenal trophy potential in unit 33. Colorado Parks and Wildlife game managers report that the number of deer has exploded above population objective. That being said the tags are limited and harvest success is good for those who draw. Anything around the magical 20% mark is considered fantastic by CPW and this unit qualifies! This unit has some high elevation peaks and parks and lower elevation grasses. Hunters may consider glassing Corn Pop Mesa, Croptop Mesa, Lunker Ridge and Big Smoker Mountain for Pope and Young bucks. Snow can drastically affect where the animals are so be prepared to adjust your plans accordingly.
This unit has a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rifle season that allows hunters to have plenty of quality time in the mountains. The deer will be at high elevation cover or protected private lands for as long as possible until pressure and weather push them lower. Often by the 3rd rifle season, the rut has begun and bucks will be in search of does near the roads where Side by Sides and Chevy Trucks often collide with them. Find the does and eventually a good buck will check in on them. During any of these seasons, snow can drastically affect the access and hunters should always have backup plans, window mounts for their rifles, and chains for when they get stuck. During rifle seasons some notable areas to keep an eye on, especially after some weather are, Mulvaney Creek, Tranny Wallow, Target Creek and West Tuckin Back Creek.
Depends on how deep they went in Tuckin Back Creek and if the found the Tranny WallowI wonder how the hunt went.
Unlikely. They just hit a bunch of sites looking for a handout then disappear until they need another.Maybe the rookies who arrive asking for unit advice, are never heard from again because they had success and now heed the advice to STFU online about where you hunt.
