Colorado Pronghorn Mule Deer

Unit 120

Colorado Hunting Guide — Pronghorn, Mule Deer

Unit 120 lies in Lincoln, Crowley and Kiowa counties and covers about 519 square miles. Ground runs from 4,395 to 5,312 feet. CPW bounds it by Colo. 94 and Co. primary roads 109 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put pronghorn success here as high as 50%. 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.

Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 120

Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit 120

CPW draws an exact line around unit 120 and says nothing about where the pronghorn stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lincoln, Crowley and Kiowa counties. It runs to about 519 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Colo. 94, Co. primary roads 109 and Secondary Rd. 35

CPW has unit 120 bounded on the north by Colo. 94; on the east by Co. primary roads 109, 1 & 2 and Secondary Rd. 35; on the south by Colo. 96; on the west by Colo. 71. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.

High ground inside the line: Wild Horse Point, Cow Butte and Black Hills

Named high points inside the unit include Wild Horse Point at 4,930 feet, Cow Butte at 4,781 feet, Black Hills at 4,687 feet, The Pinnacles at 4,687 feet and Todd Point at 4,555 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: Stanley Gulch

Below them sit Stanley Gulch at 4,891 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.

Public ground to start from: Karval Reservoir SWA and Karval STL

CPW lists Karval Reservoir SWA and Karval 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: Redwood Tank, Metz Springs and Faw Wells

The water inside the unit line comes to 146 mapped stream reaches, 8 lakes and 84 stock tanks. Named sources include Redwood Tank, Metz Springs and Faw Wells. 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-5

CPW does not manage pronghorn unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit A-5, and unit 120 is one piece of it. The rest of A-5 is unit 121, unit 125 and unit 126. So the objective behind your tag was written for that whole area, and a neighbouring unit in the same herd is a fairer comparison than the statewide figure.

Reading the land status

Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 85% and BLM 15%, 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 4,395 to 5,312 feet, averaging 4,808 — 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.

Roughly 15% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Unit 120

CPW's own harvest estimates put pronghorn success in unit 120 at 50% across all manners of take. A number like that comes from few tags and a short season, not from easy hunting. 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 The Pinnacles, Todd Point and Wild Horse Point

Take a position on one of The Pinnacles (4,687 ft), Todd Point (4,555 ft), Wild Horse Point (4,930 ft) and Cow Butte (4,781 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. Give a basin forty minutes before you decide it is empty. On the rut hunts, early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Water against feed

There are 146 mapped stream reaches and 84 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

Season normals here run Sep 83/48°F, Oct 69/34°F and Nov 55/23°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 0.8 in. in Sep, 0.8 in. in Oct and 0.3 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

Getting past the roads: CR 27 and CH 109 / CR 32

CO 71 and CO 94 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.

Where unit 120 sits inside A-5

Across A-5, CPW's 2023 pronghorn success runs 50% in unit 120, 33% in unit 126 and 32% in unit 125. Unit 120 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 Wild Horse Point, Cow Butte and Black Hills as places to see from, and Stanley Gulch, Karval Reservoir SWA, Redwood Tank and Metz Springs as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Join two of them into a morning: be on the first before light, move to the second once the thermals turn.

What we can't tell you

Some of the ground named above carries no land-status flag we trust, so check ownership on a current layer before you hunt it.

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.

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.

Pronghorn Success Rates

All manners of take50%

CPW's 2023 harvest estimates put pronghorn success in unit 120 at 50% — 173 animals taken by 347 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.

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 pronghorn in unit 120, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

AM120O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 509 applicants for 13 licences, 2.6% drawn, 5 preference points needed
AM120P1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 493 applicants for 168 licences, 34.1% drawn, no preference points needed
AF120P1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Doe Only, resident: 374 applicants for 188 licences, 50.3% drawn, no preference points needed
AF120O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Doe Only, resident: 302 applicants for 9 licences, 3% drawn, 2 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 12 further code-and-residency combinations in the recap for this unit. Figures checked against CPW's own statistics pages on 2026-06-09.

Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 120

Unit 120 lies in Lincoln, Crowley and Kiowa counties and covers about 519 square miles. Ground runs from 4,395 to 5,312 feet. CPW bounds it by Colo. 94 and Co. primary roads 109 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put mule deer success here as high as 39%. 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.

Named high points inside the unit include Wild Horse Point at 4,930 feet, Cow Butte at 4,781 feet, Black Hills at 4,687 feet, The Pinnacles at 4,687 feet and Todd Point at 4,555 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: Stanley Gulch

Below them sit Stanley Gulch at 4,891 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Public ground to start from: Karval Reservoir SWA and Karval STL

Water: Redwood Tank, Metz Springs and Faw Wells

The herd this unit belongs to: D-46

CPW does not manage mule deer unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit D-46, and unit 120 is one piece of it. The rest of D-46 is unit 107, unit 112, unit 113, unit 114, unit 115 and unit 121. 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 Mule Deer in Unit 120

CPW's own harvest estimates put mule deer success in unit 120 at archery 18% and rifle 39%. 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 Black Hills, The Pinnacles and Todd Point

Take a position on one of Black Hills (4,687 ft), The Pinnacles (4,687 ft), Todd Point (4,555 ft) and Wild Horse Point (4,930 ft) and be on it before light. In the dark the air runs downhill. Pick an approach that doesn't send it into the country you want to see, and plan to move once the slope warms. 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 146 mapped stream reaches and 84 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. A tank with no tracks is a tank with no reason to sit on it.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Getting past the roads: CR 27 and CH 109 / CR 32

Where unit 120 sits inside D-46

Across D-46, CPW's 2023 mule deer success runs 41% in unit 112, 40% in unit 107, 40% in unit 114, 37% in unit 120 and 25% in unit 113. That puts unit 120 behind 3 of the 4 other units in the herd. If the draw lets you choose, unit 112 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Wild Horse Point, Cow Butte and Black Hills as places to see from, and Stanley Gulch, Karval Reservoir SWA, Redwood Tank and Metz Springs 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

519 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 Sugar City, about 21 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.
