need help with CO big game hunting.

Everyone seems to head for the mountains, but there are some world class mule deer on the eastern plains.

If you're just interested in a meat hunt, there is a program for CO residents called Ranching For Wildlife. I can highly recommend Three Forks Ranch, north of Steamboat Springs for a cow elk hunt. They provide guides (free) on a 2 hunters to one guide ratio. Most years it doesn't require a preference point to draw the tag.

They take their trucks out in the field and they have a pretty good idea where the herd should be. My last hunt there I was able to harvest a nice fat cow elk at 125 yds. They help you get it out of the field and load it in your truck. It is normally only a one day hunt.

...I ended up with 170 lbs of boneless meat from that animal.

I'm told often that eastern plains mule deer taste MUCH better than mulies up in the mountains. Seems to make sense.
