Good experience on the property, we felt that there were very few deer to hunt compared to our expectations.

Hey Kyle, thanks a bunch for the review and congrats on the successful hunt! Based on our biologists reports from Eastern Colorado this year we have seen better deer numbers on IO properties then most of the rest of the region, mostly due to our management strategies implemented bio IO and our landowners. Due to the habitat in the area, seeing several mature bucks is typically an average to above average hunt and we are glad you were able to capitalize. Deer in eastern Co, specifically mule deer, tend to have a much larger range than than other areas compared to other areas like the Midwest. Having the opportunity to chase multiple large deer is always a treat. Whitetail numbers can vary in this region due to the lack of timber and mature does. Similarly, both IO and CPW have been focusing on prioritizing Mule Deer habitat and management rather than whitetail management in eastern Co. While there are still several mature whitetails around, the hope is that this is primarily mule deer habitat. We do have many other areas where whitetails are present and look forward to hopefully getting you out on them in the future!
