Understanding Landowner Vouchers and Tags for Rifle Hunting in Colorado Unit 2

In Colorado, Unit-Wide Landowner Tags offer a distinct system that allows landowners to oversee deer hunting on their lands. The issuance of these tags takes into account the size of the land and local deer populations, providing landowners and their invitees with exclusive hunting rights. This exclusivity is instrumental in managing hunter density and promoting sustainable mule deer hunting and conservation practices. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission monitors this system, ensuring that the hunting is conducted ethically and eco-friendly.

 

Possessing a landowner tag or voucher offers hunters unique access to prime hunting grounds in Colorado, notably Unit 2, known for its abundant buck populations. These tags let you skip the standard drawing system, facilitating a more straightforward path for hunters to partake in hunting prize deer in this coveted area. This approach is essential for maintaining the ecological balance and ensuring sustainable hunting on private and public lands.

 

Acquiring such a tag or voucher for the 3rd rifle season in Unit 2 is a wise decision for hunters seeking either a memorable experience or a trophy deer. Early purchase of these permits is a proactive strategy, guaranteeing a more secluded and fulfilling hunting experience in one of Colorado's top hunting spots. For hunters looking to secure a mule deer tag during the 3rd rifle season, reaching out to Hunters Domain to secure a tag and understanding our deposit system is recommended.

Colorado Unit 2: Unique Characteristics of 3rd Rifle Season Mule Deer Hunting

Colorado Unit 2 stands out as a premier hunting destination, particularly during the 3rd rifle season for mule deer. With an impressive success rate of 88% and mule deer quality ranging between 160-180", including the potential for 180"+ and occasionally exceeding 200", hunters have a high chance of encountering trophy-class deer. The unit's strategic location in the northwest corner of Colorado, along the Wyoming border, contributes to its reputation as one of the most coveted hunting areas in the state.

  • Topography and Terrain: The landscape is dominated by sagebrush grasslands interspersed with buckbrush, oak brush, and bitterbrush. Pinyons and junipers provide cover in various drainages, and pockets of dark timber featuring pine trees and Douglas Firs, offer excellent stalking opportunities.
  • Water Sources and Wildlife: With the climate rendering water a scarce resource, proximity to water sources like the Yampa River and the Green River, which border the unit, becomes a critical factor in planning hunting strategies and increases chances of success.
  • Access and Navigation: Well-maintained roads in the north and south facilitate access, while ATVs are advised to traverse the varied terrain. Four-wheel-drive vehicles and tire chains are recommended to ensure mobility under all conditions.
  • Wildlife Management and Tag Availability: The dwindling tag numbers in GMU 2 underscore the exclusivity and reduced competition in this hunting unit. The Boone and Crockett records highlight Moffat County's notable entries for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and its status as a leading elk unit, emphasizing its rich wildlife quality.
  • Hunting Success and Seasonal Behavior: The third rifle season offers the best chance to harvest a prize-winning buck, especially as deer enter the rut and are more active throughout the day, providing ample opportunities for hunters.
