Frequently Asked Questions

Is GMU 102 a public-land hunt?
Mostly no. WIA and private permission drive most hunts.
When is the best season?
Rifle seasons during the rut window produce the best opportunities at mature bucks.
Can I hunt Unit 102 pronghorn without preference points?
Sometimes — doe tags and leftovers occasionally clear with zero or one point. We watch the CPW leftover list after the primary draw each summer.
Is Unit 102 mostly private land?
Public/private mix varies across eastern Colorado GMUs. We use the CPW Hunting Atlas BLM/SLB/Walk-in Access layers to find huntable public ground.
