I hunted 62 for 3rd season last year - picked up a returned tag. I hunted the south end near Simms Mesa and Government Springs. A bunch of deer had already moved to private down low. I saw a lot of deer and ended up shooting a decent 4x4 the 2nd weekend. I saw one really nice buck but couldn't pull it off. There were a lot more hunters than I expected.

Drew this tag again after turning it back in 2017. Wanted to revive this old thread and see if anyone had any information/advice they were willing to share.

Thanks!

10 messages in 4 years, most of them bumping this thread. I'm impressed! For your vast contribution to this forum I will award you with one spot that I always see deer in 62. Tough to get permission though!

Thank you sir, it is really nice to see that you needed to take the time to type such a great reply instead of just passing by the thread as you didn’t have anything good to add.
I’m well aware that forum members are hesitant to give info to a low posting member. It doesn’t hurt to ask, even if I end up with no responses. I ended up getting decent feedback on the original post. And I had fewer messages then

Good luck. Can’t wait for your next post in 2025.

You should think about contributing to the forum.

Unit 62 buck that made it through 3rd season last year, don't know about 4th. Pretty sweet magnum 3 point with a cheater. 30 yards closer and he would have been carrying my tag, but the public/private fence saved him.

Better to take than to give is the new motto.

Curious why you returned the tag in '17?

 

[HUNT JR]

In 2017 I drew 3 tags and did not have the time to hunt them all. This one was the easiest to return and so I did. I kept collecting points and cashed them in this year with the late dates. It seems to me that a fair number of people hunt the lower country by the private.

I would think that in November that the deer in that type of country would still be up in the transition range running north off the top of the plateau. CO shows winter range in these areas. It looks to me that its a lot thicker up there though.

Many 3rd season tag holders find success hunting the public land above the alfalfa.

That would drive me crazy in about 2 hours, so I'd go high.
