Normally, i'd be hunting for mule deer in muzzleloader season. That's in mid Sept. If not it would be using the muzzy during rifle seasons in Oct-early Nov.
However, this year the DOW is offering a special whitetail tag. Some whitetails have moved off the eastern plains of Colorado to the mountains. The DOW doesn't want then cross breeding with the mule deer, so are offering new tags for certain units in western Colorado. They made it tempting by offering OTC tags from mid Nov to all of Dec. Normally, we only get 9 days for a hunt. The whitetail hunt is a 1 1/2 months. Plus, our deer tags are all draw, and hard to get unless you have some points. So, an OTC deer tag is unheard of here. On top of tht you can buy two tags, and they're either sex tags too.
So, i'll be buying a whitetail tag this year. I know where a couple of then hang out by the river. Both are does though. I've never seen a whitetail buck around here. It helps conservation, and is meat in the freezer, so why not?

Archery state wide Oct 1ast. to Nov 14th doe tag required and can be used all season.
Fire arm Nov 15th to the 30th, Muzzle loader starts second week of Dec depending on zone when it ends, Longest goes to the end of Dec. Like archery doe tag required and can be filled any time. Some Deer manage units have no doe season at all, Wolf infested areas.
