For gas, let's assume you drive 1,000 miles a month and your car averages 23 miles per gallon. You'd need to budget about $87 per month with prices at $2 per gallon. That leaves only $124 for a car payment, parking and other transportation expenses.
North Dakota grew the fastest, increasing its population by 2.2 percent in the same time span. Colorado increased 1.9 percent. From 2010 to 2015, Colorado grew by 408,320 people, a 7.5 percent increase and the fourth-fastest growth rate behind North Dakota, Washington D.C. and Texas.
Currently, wildlife managers in Colorado and many other states are continuing research and adapting management with the goals of reversing multi-year population declines. The statewide, post-hunt 2012 deer population estimate of 408,000 is far below the current statewide population objective range of 525,000 - 575,000. On Colorado's West Slope, the post-hunt estimate of just over 300,000 deer was more than 100,000 deer shy of the desired target population range of 410,000 â 450,000 deer. Despite these challenges, Colorado has maintained its reputation as one of the premier states for mule deer hunting.
