We have hunted unit 161 in routt national forest in Colorado in 2004, 06, 08 & 10. We hunted Elk but saw many mule deer and several shooters. Colorado is an all draw state for mule deer and time to submit applications for 2011 has passed. However you can check in late july for the leftover list. Some units are not so hot so there are leftover tags. If there are any for 161 I would for sure suggest there.
