OTC Archery Mule Deer — Rio Blanco County, Colorado

Rio Blanco County's White River drainage is one of Colorado's best over-the-counter archery mule deer units — no draw required, and a healthy buck population with good age structure thanks to low archery pressure. White River Archery Outfitters books early September dates when bucks are still in bachelor groups at high elevation, making multi-buck observations routine. Spike camp access puts you deep into the roadless White River National Forest.
