Hunting around Castle Rock used to be really good. Problem is, so many people have moved into the general area that any real good hunting will be locked up by private property or leased by outfitters. Most of the front range and plains areas that are any good have been gobbled up and the regular hunter can no longer get access.

That being said, a 100 mile drive can get you into some really good mulie and elk country. Pronghorns can be difficult since most of them reside on private property and the outfitters have leased almost all of it. There is good public land pronghorn hunting around Craig but that is a pretty far drive from the Castle Rock area. The Pawnee National Grasslands used to be good but they get way too much pressure now. most the guys I know in CO that want pronghorns hunt WY.
