A Guide to Deer Hunting in Colorado’s 2nd Rifle Season in Units 4/14/214/441

 

Colorado's 2nd Rifle Deer hunting season in Units 4/14/214/441 is well-known for allowing hunters to use their skills and hunt for prized mule deer. As winter sets in and snow covers the mountains, expect the cold to push bucks down to lower areas like ridges, gentle hills, and open fields, improving your chances for a successful hunt. Areas near Elkhead Creek and the Jimmy Dunn Gulch recreational spot are particularly good places to find bucks with scores over 160".

 

This guide is designed to give you the important rules and smart tips you need, helping you make the most of this popular season and maybe even bag a trophy deer. During the 2nd rifle season, using a rifle for hunting becomes especially rewarding as deer move to more accessible locations.

Essential Insights into Colorado's Units 4, 14, 214, and 441 Landowner Vouchers and Tags

In Colorado, Unit Wide Landowner Tags give property owners the power to regulate hunting on their land. These tags are issued based on the size of the property and the local deer population, giving landowners and their guests exclusive rights to hunt. This special access helps keep the number of hunters low, which is good for the deer population's health and the land's overall well-being. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission manages this program to ensure that hunting is done sustainably and benefits the environment.

 

When you purchase one of these landowner tags, you gain entry to some of the best hunting areas in Colorado, like Units 4, 14, 214, and 441, all known for their rich wildlife, including antelope, deer, and elk. With these tags or vouchers, hunters can skip the usual lottery system and head straight into hunting trophy deer with a rifle in these units during the 2nd Season. This method of hunting is better for the animals and the land and improves the hunting experience on both private and public properties. If you're interested in hunting prize mule deer within these units during the 2nd Rifle Season, reach out to Hunters Domain to find out how to get a Unit Wide Deer Tag through our deposit system.
