Frequently Asked Questions

How many preference points do I need for Unit 132 pronghorn?
Unit 132 typically draws at 0-2 points for residents and often zero points for non-residents under Colorado's pure preference-point system.
Is Unit 132 a trophy pronghorn unit?
It is a solid annual-hunt unit rather than a trophy build. Expect mature bucks in the 12-14 inch range with the occasional heavier buck in better age-structure years.
How competitive is the draw for Unit 132 mule deer?
Unit 132 mule deer draw competitiveness depends on the specific hunt code (weapon type, season, sex restriction). With approximately 14 applicants per year, check CPW's Draw Odds statistics for current point requirements by hunt code. Colorado's preference-point system rewards consistent annual applications — apply every year to accumulate points.
Is there public land to hunt in Unit 132?
Unit 132 is primarily private agricultural land on Colorado's eastern plains. Public hunting access is available through BLM parcels, State Wildlife Area (SWA) properties, and the Colorado PLOTS (Private Land Open To Sportsmen) program. Download the CPW SWA Atlas and Colorado PLOTS maps at cpw.state.co.us before your hunt to identify all publicly accessible parcels in the unit. Landowner permission is also worth pursuing for private-land access.
What gear is essential for hunting Unit 132 mule deer?
A quality optics system — 10x binoculars and a spotting scope — is the most critical gear investment for mule deer hunting. Colorado mule deer country demands long-range glassing before committing to a stalk. Add comfortable boots for terrain-specific conditions (mountain boots for steep country, lighter footwear for plains), a daypack, and a rangefinder for complete gear preparation.
