Online Colorado Big Game Hunting Statistics
Helping you decipher Colorado Big Game Hunting Statistics
GMUResearch.com is my answer to the difficult task of sorting through all the Department of Wildlife (DOW) big game drawing summaries, harvest, and preference point reports to find the information I need to select or verify a new or prospective hunting area.
Don't confuse this with other products out there. You install NOTHING, update NOTHING, can view the data from anywhere you have internet access. This is 100% web based, meaning it will work with Linux, MAC's and Windows based systems. Gone are the days of buggy installers, downloading patches and updates, and being nagged for 'Upgrade' to get access to 'Premium Data'. Nope, one price gets everything. Oh, and you don't have to wait for a CD or DVD either. You have immediate access once your subscription is paid for.
I cannot count how many times over the last couple of years people have posted questions on hunting forum sites looking for information. Hopefully the data we have on this web site will help answer questions like these;
- Which OTC unit has the best Archery Cow Elk success?
- How many people hunt my new area in a year?
- How many preference points does a non-resident need to draw unit XYZ?
- What is the average Buck Mule Deer harvest for 2nd Rifle Season in my new unit?
- What hunt codes are associated with GMU 33?
Starting in late December of 2007 this site has converted to an annual subscription site. But don't fret, we only charge $14.95 a year. Most of the site remains free. This includes the forum, contributed articles and most of the summary data data for each animal.
