There are some really good units in Colorado but it takes anywhere from 8-13 points to draw. Since Colorado only goes by preference points start building points now and see what units are hot in 5-10 years. Some good units got hit hard by the winter of 2007/2008 so top units are constantly changing.

very good point and I appreciate the recommendations. Thanks

Eagle county was the top producer of Booners, but now Mesa county has pulled ahead for record book bucks. Unit 40 is worth looking at. If you have enough points go for a 4th seaon hunt. It hits the begining of the rut and that's when the monsters come out.

That is one of those "it depends" questions. The answer depends upon lots of factors. You can kill big deer in lots of places in Colorado. It depends upon your standards, (170, 180, 190, or 200+), what kind of country you like to hunt (plains, P-J, high country), how long you are willing to wait, and what type of weapon you want to use to hunt with. Another consideration is whether you have the cash to pay for a landowner voucher or if you are going to wait to get a license through the drawing. And your phyiscal condition will determine if you can hunt many of the places since not everyone is ready to hike long distances at high elevation in rough country.
If you have not been to several places in Colorado, go there and check them out. Talk with lots of people, look at odds on the website.
For me, I prefer high country or brush country. I'd go with some areas around Meeker and Gunnison if given a choice. And I'd hunt with a bow there rather than hunt other areas with rifle or muzzleloader.
There are lots of good choices. Good hunting.

If draw any unit it would be 741; before you all spout off, I know of a honey hole that is public land, but you must travel on foot or horse/mule. Hunting presure is very little to none, It has a great gene pool and produces some Big Boys.

Re: If you could draw one place in colorado, where would it be??
you guys are awesome. Thanks for the advice. I just thought I would start to research now and start putting in for them. I love my kansas whitetails but those muleys seem to get my blood boiling. Probably because I have shot some giant whitetails. My biggest muley is around 170". would like to tap that 185" mark
Re: If you could draw one place in colorado, where would it be??
do any of the best muley areas or units also give a decent chance at a bull elk?
