I am going to suppose that

I am going to suppose that you are a non resident of Colorado. So with 12 points you are really in limbo land. Not enough for a really great unit and too many to waist on a lesser unit.

However you may be able to draw a unit 66 muzzle loader tag with 12 points. You need to check out the statistics page on the Parks and Wildlife web page.

Just curious, and i'm not

Just curious, and i'm not busting your chops. I assume it took you 12 years to get these points? You haven't done any research?

research

yes we do research, we were thinking of muzzleload units 66 or 67.just thought I might get a little more help.(some areas we may not have thought of). 12 years ago we hunted unit 10,all four of us filled our tags but we will never see 10 again.Is unit 66 or 67 better?thanks again for any additional help

Hunting Tip: Field Judging Bucks

As a Taxidermist I look at hundreds of Whitetail Bucks every year. I know that I have seen many different ways people judge the size of racks on live deer. I think for the most part they all are pretty close. I'm going to give you some measurements that I have noticed being right on in just about every deer. We have used it in the last couple years and have only been off by about 5-6 inches. We do study the deer while bowhunting so we get a little more time to look at them....
