Maximize Your Mule Deer Hunt with Landowner Vouchers and Tags in Colorado's Units 35, 36, 45, & 361

In Colorado, Unit-Wide Landowner Tags allow landowners to regulate hunting on their lands. The number of these tags given out is based on the size of the property and the local mule deer population. These tags let owners and their guests exclusively hunt on their land, which helps keep the deer population healthy and the ecosystem stable. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission manages this program to ensure that hunting benefits wildlife preservation.

 

Purchasing a landowner tag means you can access some of the top hunting spots in Colorado, like Units 35, 36, 45, and 361. These units are known for their varied wildlife, such as sheep, deer, and elk. With a landowner tag or voucher, hunters can skip the usual draw system and go straight to hunting trophy deer with a muzzleloader during the muzzleloader season. This hunting method is good for wildlife and habitat conservation and improves hunting on both private and public land.
