Mule deer hunting in Colorado

Like what kind of info are you looking for? Ripple Creek Pass is in unit 12. All elk licenses, except for the combined deer and elk rifle seasons are by draw only. All deer tags, regardless of season are by draw only. Play it cagey............There are always left over tags after the drawing is over, and these are usually available around the 2nd week of August. Lots of elk, but then again, lots of elk hunters. By getting back into any area a good mile or so, you're going to elimiante the majority of the hunters. Post a reply if you have any ?'s.

There are a couple ways...
