The South Platte River between Fort Morgan and Sterling is known for quality whitetails. Mule deer make up less that 10% of the deer herd. There are numerous state lands that provide access to some excellent cover in a unit that is over 90% private.

The extreme floods of 2013 may have displaced many deer into Units 91 and 92, which are northeast of Unit 96, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. You must pay a trespass fee to access private land.
