Anybody have any info hunting around limon area

I used to hunt pronghorn out there. The hunting can be pretty good but be advised it is all private land and most of it is leased by outfitters. Unless you know someone or are paying to hunt it will probably be hard to get on any quality land.

Where I used to hunt was a big ranch the owner let us on. He died and his son inherited the ranch. The first year he had it he leased it to an outfitter. Thus ended my hunting around Limon. I'm a 5th generation native of CO and I'm not about to pay an outfitter to hunt. I knew other land owners in different areas so I simply began to hunt elsewhere.

Yea I'm going with big sandy outfitters

What are you hunting? Pronghorn? This is a Limon buck taken about 10 years ago.

I'm gonna after my first mule deer

Never hunted mulies around Limon. I hunt those a little farther north and east in Yuma County. There are some big mulies out on the plains. Unless you get into a monster right off the bat don't be too quick to shoot the first one you see. An average mulie looks huge to hunters conditioned to looking at whitetails.

Yea I'm a mainly a whitetail hunter from tx so I have no clue
What to expect really.i just want to start hunting different animals.

***Take Flags advice because a small mulie looks like a big whitetail. Don't let the guide talk you into shooting one that you'll be unhappy with when you walk up to him. Look at a lot of pictures and if you can get to a Cabelas or similar shop you can take a look at what some really good mulies look like and the CO plains has some giants if the outfitter is leasing good property. Good luck and post pictures on here when you get back from your hunt next Fall.

My goal is a 185 plus type deer just don't know
How common those are up there

***That's a real good size mulie you're talking about and the outfitter may have a couple that size if he's got real good property leased and manages it properly. However, I'd set my sights for a more realistic goal of a 170" class and hope for bigger. A 185" or bigger deer is a B&C type animal in case you aren't aware of that and B&C animals aren't behind every bush.
