Understanding the Challenges of Archery Deer Hunting: Colorado Units 80 & 81

 

Units 80 and 81 in Colorado offer exceptional hunting opportunities, particularly for mule deer. Located within the San Juan Mountains, these areas boast extensive public lands where mule deer populations thrive across various elevations. During early-season hunts, hunters should target higher elevations where deer meet before winter sets in. With dedication, hunters can secure trophy mule deer using a deer tag or voucher, although this tag is difficult to obtain and requires 4-5 preference points for non-residents. Colorado issues only a limited number of these vouchers to landowners, resulting in some remarkable bucks being harvested from these units annually. These units have access to the Rio Grande National Forest and plenty of BLM public land for hunting. Elevations in these units range from 7,500ft to 13,000ft, providing diverse landscapes and challenging terrain for hunters. Please check the links below for further details on purchasing a landowner tag in these units.

Units 80 and 81 in Colorado: Landowner Vouchers and Tags

In Colorado, Unit Wide Landowner Tags offer property owners a unique avenue to manage hunting activities on their land. These tags are issued based on property size and deer population, granting landowners and their guest's exclusive hunting rights. Restricting the number of hunters and the deer harvested aids in wildlife conservation and environmental preservation. Oversight of this program falls under the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to ensure sustainable hunting practices are upheld.

 

Acquiring a landowner tag or voucher provides access to great hunting locations, such as Units 80 and 81, which are known for their diverse wildlife, including antelope, deer, and elk. These tags bypass the typical lottery system, letting hunters plan their hunts easily for the archery season for mule deer. This enhances the hunting experience and helps maintain healthy wildlife populations and ecological balance. Hunters can enjoy superior opportunities on both public and private lands.
