Navigating Your Hunt in The 3rd Rifle Season: The Essentials of Land Vouchers and Tags

In Colorado, Unit Wide Landowner Tags present a specialized system enabling landowners to manage elk hunting on their properties. These tags are issued considering the property's size and the elk population in the vicinity, allowing property owners and their guests exclusive hunting rights. This system plays a crucial role in controlling the number of hunters, thereby supporting sustainable elk harvesting and conservation efforts. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission supervises this arrangement to ensure that hunting practices are ethical and environmentally friendly.

 

Acquiring a landowner tag or voucher grants hunters special access to Colorado's esteemed hunting territories, including Unit 2, which is celebrated for its high elk populations, among other wildlife. These tags bypass the regular lottery system, offering a more direct route for hunters to engage in elk hunting within this sought-after locale. Such a method is vital for the ecological well-being and sustainability of the area, offering hunting prospects on both private and public lands. For those aiming to secure a cow elk tag during the 3rd rifle season, reach out to Hunters Domain to obtain this tag and learn about our deposit system.

The Exceptional Benefits of Targeting Large Cow Elk in Unit 2 During The 3rd Rifle Season

Unit 2 is recognized as a top-tier hunting spot, known for its attributes that elevate both the success rates and the quality of wildlife encounters. Below are key aspects that define this unit's uniqueness:

  • Vital Water Sources and River Systems: In Unit 2's dry environment, water sources become magnets for wildlife, offering hunters strategic advantage points. The Yampa River, flowing along the unit's southern perimeter near Dinosaur National Monument, and the Green River, defining the western edge, are crucial for attracting game, particularly elk, enhancing the unit's hunting allure.
  • Selective Hunting and Exceptional Records: The deliberate reduction in tag issuance has made hunting in Unit 2 more exclusive, with Moffat County standing out for its record-setting elk statistics in Colorado. This area boasts an elk success rate of 92% during this season. Securing a landowner tag or voucher significantly benefits hunters, especially during the 3rd rifle season, providing them with privileged access to this high-yield hunting environment.
  • Diverse Terrain and Extensive Public Access: Spanning 1,194 square miles with 91.2% public land, Unit 2 offers a variety of landscapes managed by the BLM Little Snake Field Office. From rolling foothills and expansive mesas to higher elevations and sagebrush expanses, the unit's geography supports a rich habitat for elk, presenting hunters with multiple terrain choices for their expeditions.
  • Practical Access and Rustic Accommodations: Despite the scarcity of hotels, Unit 2 compensates with accessible roads suitable for ATVs and four-wheel-drive vehicles. Hunters are encouraged to engage fully with the wilderness by camping on BLM territory or at established sites within Dinosaur National Monument, ensuring an authentic outdoor hunting experience.

When planning a hunt in Unit 2, especially with a rifle in the 3rd rifle season, consider the November weather, which sees highs of 49°F and lows of 25°F, a 12% chance of rain, and average winds at 13MPH. Hunters should prepare with appropriate gear for the colder evenings. With its strategic water sources, limited tag availability, and diverse landscapes, Unit 2 offers an unrivaled hunting experience, particularly for those pursuing cow elk.
