Unit 61 Mule Deer - Riffle / Muzzle Loader / Archery

Rifle - Mule Deer

Anyone who has ever hunted Colorado knows that southwest Colorado has some of the best genetics for big game hunting, especially in Unit 61. With the way the point system works now your unit 61 hunt has turned in a once and a lifetime opportunity. We are a second generation, family run outfitting business specializing in Unit 61 exclusively.

We hunt Colorado’s Uncompahgre Plateau that is famous for its big mule deer. Depending on the weather and the migration patterns, hunts range from high country aspen slopes, cedar breaks, sagebrush parks and alfalfa fields. Mule deer hunting involves a lot of glassing for the buck of your dreams with shots raging from 100-400 yards. Unit 61 offers 2 seasons to hunt mule deer. The first takes places the last 9 days of October and is called the second rifle season. The second deer season takes place the first 9 days of November and is called the third rifle season.

Licenses over the counter are based on a quota system for the area. If the quota is full, no more licenses can be filled.

About Your Hunt...

Our earlier hunts take place on the Uncompagre Plateau. This camp is a temporary camp set up on the national forest land at approximately 9000ft in elevation. As the weather cools off and the animals start to migrate down towards their winter grounds, we move down with them onto private property where we have several cabins to run our operation.

Although this is a limited draw area with numerous animals in the area, it is still a hunt with no guarantees. Our family and guides will give you 110% everyday. We tailor the hunt to your own physical ability using the “spot and stalk” method of hunting. We try to avoid roads and hunt in the more remote areas of the unit utilizing horses to help pack the animal out after a successful hunt.

Base price includes 5 day hunt, lodging and meals included.
