Alright, I waited a while but I'm dying for some info! I drew 67 3rd season with my brother and it's our first good mule deer tag. So, any info will be greatly appreciated, what to expect-terrain,weather, deer population, just everything! I don't care if you've just driven thru the unit before, I wanna hear about it! Thanks in advance, and sorry if I keep asking all summer!!

I went out there to scout for someone on the forum. This was last year. My wife and I found two shooters in the first thirty minutes after going in. We went in off hwy 114. I was lucky enough to draw the unit with 9 points and killed a 180 opening day. The 180 was the 3rd smallest deer I had seen or knew about, one was a 200 that a reputable hunter told me about. He gave me gps on him. I went and looked but never hunted that deer. Lots of traffic close to him. A 190 I had seen the evening before opening, I hunted opening morning and just could not find him or his doe. I did see his doe after tagging out then I figured out what he had done. I don't think numbers are high but most of the deer I saw were good ones. Probably more deer around Powderhorn but I hunted the hwy 114 side. I have never liked hunting sage but deer use it. Weather should be cool but nice. Terrain is easy if you are hunting the right place. I like seeing quackers. Make sure you get a good one

100% agree with packmule. Stay mobile. Stay in Gunnison. Good central location to various hunting spots.
