CO 25/26 4th Deer

[Bocephus]

Anybody have any recent experience in 25/26? I am hoping to draw a 4th season tag and would love to hear the good, bad or ugly of what type of hunt this could be if I draw. Hoping to have a fun hunt with my Dad and look over a few ruttin bucks. Thanks for any intel or pointers!

I haven't hunted there yet but I've scouted plenty. Be prepared to hike. It can be busy with people working their way into the Flat Tops, and there are few roads that go very far "in". You'll need to hike.

Thanks for the info. I'm not afraid to put some miles on my boots. How has the quality been as of late? How picky can or should I be? I'm hoping for weather of course. I hunted 44 3rd season in 2012 and it was dusty dry. It was a grind to find a mature buck. Thanks again!

150 is a solid deer in there with bigger ones running around. As tough as a hunt it is I wouldn't pass on a 150 unless you are glassing up a bigger one.

Sounds like I have my work cut out for me to find a good buck if I draw. Hopefully there are a few better than 150 running around that I can put eyes on. Thanks for the information.
