    Help for son's Colorado Unit 43 muzzleloader mule deer hunt.

    I'm hoping someone can share some insight into this unit for me and my son. Before you chastise me and tell me to read and look at maps...I assure you, my son and I have done so. I've called some DOW officials who have pointed me to some lower elevation stuff. I have some spots picked out on...
