CO Mule Deer Unit 129

CO 129 Tactical Analysis Terrain & Access Unit 129 spans 225,000 acres of mid-elevation terrain (4,077–4,828 ft) in south-central Colorado. With only 13% public land, this is a private-land-heavy unit where access will be the primary challenge. Most hunting requires permission on private ranches or outfitter coordination. The moderate elevation supports a mix of pinyon-juniper, ponderosa, and mixed-conifer habitat typical of Colorado's transition country. Herd Quality Recent surveys show a 31:100 buck-to-doe ratio, which falls into the above-average range for mule deer. This indicates a reasonably healthy herd composition with decent recruitment and moderate harvest pressure—a sign the unit..
