CO Mule Deer Unit 124

CO 124 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 124 spans roughly 374,000 acres across mid-elevation foothill and mountain terrain (4,300–5,400 ft). Public land comprises only 6% of the unit—a significant constraint that heavily favors hunters with private-land access or relationships with landowners. The majority of huntable terrain is privately held, making this a unit where pre-hunt reconnaissance and permission-securing are critical to success. Elevation range supports mule deer across diverse habitats, but access bottlenecks will dictate hunting strategy. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate a below-average buck:doe ratio of 17:100, reflecting moderate to above-average hunting pressure..
