CO Mule Deer Unit 131

Unit CO 131 Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 131 spans 6,500–9,100 feet across the northern Colorado high country, mixing montane forest, alpine meadows, and steep terrain. With only 18% public land, access is constrained—most hunting depends on private permission or scattered public pockets. Elevation variation offers diverse habitat, but low public-land percentage makes scouting and access a central planning challenge. Herd Quality The unit's buck:doe ratio averages 29:100, indicating an above-average/strong herd composition. This ratio reflects balanced population structure with a solid proportion of mature males, suggesting consistent hunting opportunity and manageable harvest pressure. Trophy..
