AI Scout Preview

CO 128 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 128 spans mid- to high-elevation country (4,300–6,400 ft) across nearly 775,000 acres, but only 15% is public land. This is a heavily privatized unit where most productive mule deer habitat is controlled by ranches and outfitters. Public access corridors exist but require careful scouting to identify legal entry points and understand ownership boundaries. Expect significant landowner negotiation if pursuing DIY hunting on private ground — cold calls rarely succeed here. Some landowners lease daily-hunt access through property-rights platforms, which may be worth exploring if public-land options prove limited. ##..
