Colorado Mule Deer Pronghorn

Unit 102 (Yuma / Republican River)

Colorado Hunting Guide — Mule Deer, Pronghorn

Unit 102 lies in Washington and Yuma counties and covers about 738 square miles. Ground runs from 3,510 to 4,300 feet. CPW bounds it by U.S. 34 and U.S. 36 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put mule deer success here as high as 43%. No federal land falls inside it, so every acre is a permission question. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 102

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 102

What CPW publishes for unit 102 is a boundary, not a mule deer map. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Washington and Yuma counties. It runs to about 738 square miles.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 34, U.S. 36 and Washington CRs 7

CPW has unit 102 bounded on the north by U.S. 34; on the east by NEB and KS; on the south by U.S. 36; on the west by Washington CRs 7, YY, & 9 (becomes Yuma CR 9 at Co. line), Yuma CRs 9, C & 16, Colo. 59, Yuma CR 26 and U.S. 385. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.

High ground inside the line: Peate Hill, Pawnee Hill and Roman Nose Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Peate Hill at 3,795 feet, Pawnee Hill at 3,629 feet and Roman Nose Ridge at 3,584 feet. None carries a public-land flag we trust, so settle the ownership question before you plan to stand on one. Mule deer on open country use every fold and draw there is, and almost none of the flat.

Holding ground: Wildcat Canyon, Whombles Meadow and Jacks Gulch

Below them sit Wildcat Canyon at 3,627 feet, Whombles Meadow at 3,626 feet, Jacks Gulch at 3,582 feet, North Fork Spring Canyon at 3,941 feet and South Fork Spring Canyon at 3,940 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Public ground to start from: Beecher Island STL, Black Wolf Creek STL and Eagle Rock SWA

CPW lists Beecher Island STL, Black Wolf Creek STL, Eagle Rock SWA, Ecklund STL and Hay Gulch Overlook STL inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 0% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The water inside the unit line comes to 36 mapped stream reaches, 1 lakes and 51 stock tanks. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: D-55

CPW does not manage mule deer unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit D-55, and unit 102 is one piece of it. The rest of D-55 is unit 101. That matters twice over: the population objective and the licence numbers are set for the whole area, and the animals move across unit lines inside it without noticing them.

Reading the land status

Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. A grid sample of the unit reads 3,510 to 4,300 feet, averaging 3,938 — a sample rather than a survey, so read the ends as approximate. There is not much relief, so the animals move laterally rather than up and down.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Unit 102

CPW's own harvest estimates put mule deer success in unit 102 at archery 34% and rifle 43%. That is an ordinary spread for this country, and it rewards whoever scouted. The plan: glass the broken edges at first light, then sit still and keep glassing the same ground.

Glassing from Peate Hill, Pawnee Hill and Roman Nose Ridge

Take a position on one of Peate Hill (3,795 ft), Pawnee Hill (3,629 ft) and Roman Nose Ridge (3,584 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. A tripod is worth more here than another hour of walking. On the rut hunts, late-season hunts put bucks with doe groups and moving in daylight.

Water against feed

There are 36 mapped stream reaches and 51 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. Sitting water works where you can see fresh tracks going in, and nowhere else.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Season normals here run Sep 80/49°F, Oct 66/36°F and Nov 53/25°F. Warm afternoons compress the hunting into the first and last hour, and make meat care the day's real problem rather than the shot. Precipitation runs about 1.3 in. in Sep, 1.3 in. in Oct and 0.5 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

Getting past the roads: County Road U and US 36

US 36 and CO 59 are the paved frame, which is also where everyone else starts. There is little true four-wheel-drive road here, so distance from the gravel is the only thing separating you from the next hunter. 17 mapped public entry points fall inside the unit, so decide which one you take before the morning you take it.

Where unit 102 sits inside D-55

Across D-55, CPW's 2023 mule deer success runs 36% in unit 102 and 35% in unit 101. Unit 102 is the best of them on that measure, which usually means fewer tags rather than more animals. Success inside one herd moves with tag numbers and season length as much as with animals, so read the licence count alongside it.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Peate Hill and Pawnee Hill as places to see from, and Wildcat Canyon, Jacks Gulch, North Fork Spring Canyon and Beecher Island STL as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Take the pair you can reach on one road and treat the rest as a second trip.

What a day here costs you

738 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The nearest services are at Wray, about 19 miles out, which is an hour of your morning each way if you sleep there. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. Decide the night before where you will be at first light, and go there in the dark.

Colorado rules that decide your day

Summarised from CPW regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Colorado has no general off-road retrieval allowance. Travel stays on designated routes, so plan to pack every animal out on your back or with stock. Check the forest or BLM travel map for the roads that are actually open in hunting season.

Tagging

Validate and attach your carcass tag before the animal is moved, and keep evidence of sex attached until the carcass reaches your home or a processor.

Leaving meat

Abandoning edible meat is illegal. CPW counts the four quarters and the loins.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 50 yards of a developed campsite, and never toward an occupied building.
Roads — No shooting from or across a public road, and no shooting from a motor vehicle.

Mule Deer: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body.

Shots to refuse

Nothing behind or overlapping the animal you picked.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have shot a three-shot group into a paper plate from the rest you are carrying.
Pass the shot you are talking yourself into.

Plan the carry: roughly 40– 120 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two large coolers. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

All manners of take36%

Archery34%

Rifle43%

CPW's 2023 harvest estimates put mule deer success in unit 102 at 36% — 101 animals taken by 277 hunters. The hunter count is large enough for the percentage to mean something and small enough that a good or bad year still moves it.

Archery — 34% success, 12 taken by 35 hunters
Rifle — 43% success, 87 taken by 202 hunters

These are the agency's own printed figures for this unit, not a modelled estimate and not a state average. They describe one season, so check CPW's current harvest estimates before you read a trend into them.

CPW's 2026 draw recap for mule deer in unit 102, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

DM102P5R — Rifle, 5th Season, Buck Only, resident: 77 applicants for 22 licences, 28.6% drawn, no preference points needed
DM102L1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 74 applicants for 6 licences, 8.1% drawn, 2 preference points needed
DM102O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 66 applicants for 6 licences, 9.1% drawn, 4 preference points needed
DF102P5R — Rifle, 5th Season, Doe Only, resident: 48 applicants for 7 licences, 14.6% drawn, no preference points needed

Colorado runs a pure preference-point draw, so the point figure above is the requirement the agency published for that code in that year, not a forecast for the next one. There are 9 further code-and-residency combinations in the recap for this unit. Figures checked against CPW's own statistics pages on 2026-06-09.

Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 102

Unit 102 lies in Washington and Yuma counties and covers about 738 square miles. Ground runs from 3,510 to 4,300 feet. CPW bounds it by U.S. 34 and U.S. 36 among others. CPW publishes no per-unit pronghorn success figure we can verify for this unit. No federal land falls inside it, so every acre is a permission question. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit 102

What CPW publishes for unit 102 is a boundary, not a pronghorn map. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Washington and Yuma counties. It runs to about 738 square miles.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 34, U.S. 36 and Washington CRs 7

High ground inside the line: Peate Hill, Pawnee Hill and Roman Nose Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Peate Hill at 3,795 feet, Pawnee Hill at 3,629 feet and Roman Nose Ridge at 3,584 feet. None carries a public-land flag we trust, so settle the ownership question before you plan to stand on one. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.

Holding ground: Spring Canyon, Hay Gulch and Lansing Valley

Below them sit Spring Canyon at 3,804 feet, Hay Gulch at 3,763 feet, Lansing Valley at 3,705 feet, Wildcat Canyon at 3,627 feet and Whombles Meadow at 3,626 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.

Public ground to start from: Sandy Bluffs STL, Sandy Bluffs SWA and Simmons STL

CPW lists Sandy Bluffs STL, Sandy Bluffs SWA, Simmons STL, Simmons SWA and South Fork Spring Canyon STL inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 0% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The water inside the unit line comes to 36 mapped stream reaches, 1 lakes and 51 stock tanks. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: A-4

CPW does not manage pronghorn unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit A-4, and unit 102 is one piece of it. The rest of A-4 is unit 93, unit 97, unit 98 and unit 101. Read a neighbour in the same herd before you read the state average — the herd, not the unit line, is what the agency is steering.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Unit 102

CPW publishes no pronghorn success figure for unit 102 that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

Glassing from Peate Hill, Pawnee Hill and Roman Nose Ridge

Take a position on one of Peate Hill (3,795 ft), Pawnee Hill (3,629 ft) and Roman Nose Ridge (3,584 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. Work the glass in strips and go back over ground you already covered — animals appear in country you looked at ten minutes ago. On the rut hunts, early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Water against feed

There are 36 mapped stream reaches and 51 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. Check the ground around it before you commit an evening to it.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Getting past the roads: County Road U and US 36

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Peate Hill and Pawnee Hill as places to see from, and Wildcat Canyon, Jacks Gulch, North Fork Spring Canyon and Beecher Island STL as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What a day here costs you

738 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The nearest services are at Wray, about 19 miles out, which is an hour of your morning each way if you sleep there. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. One good position held through the whole of first light beats three visited in a hurry.

Pronghorn: where to put the shot

Broadside, straight up the front leg, a third of the way into the body. Pronghorn are shallow-chested and the lungs sit forward.

Shots to refuse

Range it, then range it again. Open country makes 400 yards look like 250.
Wait for the buck to stop. Nobody kills a running pronghorn cleanly on purpose.
Mind the backdrop. A miss carries a long way across a flat.

Plan the carry: roughly 30– 45 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — one large cooler with ice already in it. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.
