Welp, applied for a permit here and got one! Went out today and looked it over, met the landowner and exchanged info. He was very friendly and seemed impressed and grateful that I came to meet him, especially this far in advance. Gave me a lot of info and tips, even offered to come help me haul the deer out, gave me his cell #.

Did some scouting around, looks very promising! Even jumped about a dozen mulies and some speed goats. I think this might be a good fall! I hope so anyway, if I can stay healthy. I've been living with a fully torn rotator cuff for over a year and didn't know it until recently - I just knew the sumbitch hurts. Now I've got a pissed-off hip too.

Who are you?

I do, but all hunting there is permitted by CPW, so you have to go thru them. I'm not going to violate the rules and the man's privacy.

I am going there n a week and didnt have time to do the proper scouting .

is there any public access available in 105?

I am Colorado Local up in the NW area where I see elk herds and deer a few times a week a few miles from my house but new to Colorados Hunting Community thanks for the help

Not any public access in 105 that I've ever found. Good luck.

There's still some leftover whitetail only tags for 105. Unless you know someone, Jumping Cow SWA is the only public access land in Elbert County if you have a hunting license. I see whitetails nearly every time I drive just south of Jumping Cow SWA just never been to the actual site to see the terrain or the animals that roam around it.

But don't you have to apply for a permit and draw one to hunt there? I did for the SWA just north of there, they said I got one of only two granted. Had to apply like, July or something. And I've YET to see any whitetails in CO, ain't buying any more damn tags for 'em.

Here's one that was posted recently that was taken just north of Ft Collins..

I've seen whitetails in both 104 and 105. Problem is getting permission to hunt them in the spots I've seen them. Here at work we had to open gates to our high fenced work property to get 2 doe and their fawns out of the fenced area. We still have no idea how they even got in. We do see whitetails on the outside of our fenced area quite frequently, and this is just south of Parker. I've also seen whitetails in the creek south of Byers, also the creek just west of Deer Trail, and another bunch of them in the creek south of Bennett, while I was out calling coyotes.
If you want to find whitetails, just follow the creeks.

Rondog, watch the creek bottom when you turn south from 86 going to Ben Lomond. I see whitetails in that creek bottom near that single lane bridge and the surrounding alfalfa fields very often. Nearly every time I go out there. Whitetails are definitely expanding in Colorado and why the DOW is issuing so many tags to try and get rid of them or severely restrict them.

All I've ever seen there is mulies, lots of 'em. I had permission and hunted there several times last December with a whitetail doe tag until I got food poisoning somewhere and got sick as a dog. Can't hunt when you gotta be near a bathroom. Property has horses on it now. I was there when this lady nailed this awesome buck. Never saw any WT's.....
