Just a heads up but many area of Colo will see significant winterkill for mulies this winter…. I am in pagosa/Durango/silverton area for the next while and there is 2-4’ more snow here than even a big winter. I lived in Durango for 8 years and the most snowpack I have seen here. Unless the deer made it to nm they pry did not make the winter.
Gunnison basin will soon have more snowpack than 2008 and that was the year that changed hunting in there forever. We already have more than 2017’ winter and that year there was 80%+ fawn mortality. I helped a buddy on a3rd rifle tag in the basin last year we ate it and I would not plan on it getting better but worse this yr.
Nw corner of Colorado announced 40%+ cuts on all tags not just mulies other places will likely or should follow suit.
About the only place that will not see impactful winterkill for mulies will be the front range units and eastern plains.
Sad to see and very real at this point..
