Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 49

Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit 49

CPW's material on unit 49 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn live. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties. It runs to about 538 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Continental Divide, Colo. 9 and U.S. 285

CPW has unit 49 bounded on the north by Continental Divide; on the east by Colo. 9 and U.S. 285; on the south by U.S. 24; on the west by Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.

High ground inside the line: Mount Lincoln, Mount Cameron and Mount Bross

Named high points inside the unit include Mount Lincoln at 14,247 feet, Mount Cameron at 14,241 feet, Mount Bross at 14,168 feet, Mount Democrat at 14,125 feet and Mount Sherman at 14,027 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn stay on the open rolling ground and leave the timber alone.

Holding ground: Iowa Amphitheater, Dyer Amphitheater and American Flats

Below them sit Iowa Amphitheater at 12,174 feet, Dyer Amphitheater at 12,103 feet, American Flats at 12,077 feet, Weston Pass at 11,925 feet and Platte Gulch at 11,630 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.

Public ground to start from: Alma SWA, Antero STL and Chubb Park Ranch SWA

CPW lists Alma SWA, Antero STL, Chubb Park Ranch SWA, Chubb Park STL and Delmonica Gulch STL inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 72% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The water inside the unit line comes to 4,547 mapped stream reaches, 21 lakes and 460 stock tanks. On ground with that many tanks, knowing which two or three hold water in your season is the most useful thing a scouting trip can tell you.

The herd this unit belongs to: A-30

CPW does not manage pronghorn unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit A-30, and unit 49 is one piece of it. The rest of A-30 is unit 50, unit 57, unit 58, unit 500, unit 501, unit 511 and unit 581. Read a neighbour in the same herd before you read the state average — the herd, not the unit line, is what the agency is steering.

Reading the land status

Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. A grid sample of the unit reads 8,230 to 12,467 feet, and named ground inside the line runs 7,959 to 14,247 feet — take 7,959 to 14,247 as the spread, because the sample is a grid and misses both ends. With 6,288 feet between the two ends, that is a lot of vertical to cover, and it means the season you draw decides which half of the unit you hunt.

Unit 49 terrain and land status

Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up

The lay of it

8,230–12,467 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 10,572 ft ; peaks can run higher. That spread means you can hunt two seasons in one day — plan clothing for both ends.
537.9 sq mi inside the boundary.

Who owns the ground

Private / Other — 100%

Roughly 0% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Water on the ground

460 tanks
4,547 stream segments
21 lakes

Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Mount Cameron (14,241 ft), Gemini Peak (13,918 ft), Horseshoe Mountain (13,899 ft), Mount Buckskin (13,836 ft)

Holding ground: Cameron Amphitheatre (13,181 ft), Mosquito Pass (13,170 ft), Empire Amphitheater (12,200 ft), Alma SWA, Antero STL

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Pronghorn in Unit 49

CPW's own harvest estimates put pronghorn success in unit 49 at 20% across all manners of take. That is an ordinary spread for this country, and it rewards whoever scouted. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

Glassing from Mount Buckskin, Traver Peak and Mount Arkansas

Take a position on one of Mount Buckskin (13,836 ft), Traver Peak (13,826 ft), Mount Arkansas (13,768 ft) and Mosquito Peak (13,758 ft) and be on it before light. In the dark the air runs downhill. Pick an approach that doesn't send it into the country you want to see, and plan to move once the slope warms. Work the glass in strips and go back over ground you already covered — animals appear in country you looked at ten minutes ago. On the rut hunts, early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Water against feed

There are 4,547 mapped stream reaches and 460 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. Check the ground around it before you commit an evening to it.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Season normals here run Sep 63/34°F, Oct 51/25°F and Nov 40/16°F. By Nov the lows are around 16°F, and the first hard storm after that moves animals off the high ground — a late tag is a bet on that storm arriving. Precipitation runs about 1.2 in. in Sep, 0.9 in. in Oct and 0.6 in. in Nov, and the graded gravel in this unit turns greasy wet.

Getting past the roads: CR 22 and US 285

US 285, US 24 and US 24 / US 285 are the paved frame, which is also where everyone else starts. There is little true four-wheel-drive road here, so distance from the gravel is the only thing separating you from the next hunter. 15 mapped public entry points fall inside the unit, so decide which one you take before the morning you take it.

Where unit 49 sits inside A-30

Across A-30, CPW's 2023 pronghorn success runs 51% in unit 57, 51% in unit 58, 44% in unit 581, 41% in unit 50 and 26% in unit 500. That puts unit 49 behind 5 of the 6 other units in the herd. If the draw lets you choose, unit 57 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Mount Cameron, Gemini Peak, Horseshoe Mountain and Mount Buckskin as places to see from, and Cameron Amphitheatre, Mosquito Pass, Empire Amphitheater and Alma SWA as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What we can't tell you

Some of the ground named above carries no land-status flag we trust, so check ownership on a current layer before you hunt it.

Colorado rules that decide your day

Summarised from CPW regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Colorado has no general off-road retrieval allowance. Travel stays on designated routes, so plan to pack every animal out on your back or with stock. Check the forest or BLM travel map for the roads that are actually open in hunting season.

Tagging

Validate and attach your carcass tag before the animal is moved, and keep evidence of sex attached until the carcass reaches your home or a processor.

Leaving meat

Abandoning edible meat is illegal. CPW counts the four quarters and the loins.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 50 yards of a developed campsite, and never toward an occupied building.
Roads — No shooting from or across a public road, and no shooting from a motor vehicle.

Pronghorn: where to put the shot

Broadside, straight up the front leg, a third of the way into the body. Pronghorn are shallow-chested and the lungs sit forward.

Shots to refuse

Range it, then range it again. Open country makes 400 yards look like 250.
Wait for the buck to stop. Nobody kills a running pronghorn cleanly on purpose.
Mind the backdrop. A miss carries a long way across a flat.

Plan the carry: roughly 30– 45 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — one large cooler with ice already in it. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

Pronghorn Success Rates

All manners of take20%

CPW's 2023 harvest estimates put pronghorn success in unit 49 at 20% — 5 animals taken by 27 hunters. The hunter count is large enough for the percentage to mean something and small enough that a good or bad year still moves it.

These are the agency's own printed figures for this unit, not a modelled estimate and not a state average. They describe one season, so check CPW's current harvest estimates before you read a trend into them.

CPW's 2026 draw recap for pronghorn in unit 49, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

AM049O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 944 applicants for 13 licences, 1.4% drawn, 14 preference points needed
AF049O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Doe Only, resident: 387 applicants for 6 licences, 1.6% drawn, 7 preference points needed
AM049O1A — Archery, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 142 applicants for 15 licences, 10.6% drawn, 5 preference points needed
AM049O1M — Muzzleloader, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 89 applicants for 7 licences, 7.9% drawn, 7 preference points needed

Colorado runs a pure preference-point draw, so the point figure above is the requirement the agency published for that code in that year, not a forecast for the next one. There are 8 further code-and-residency combinations in the recap for this unit. Figures checked against CPW's own statistics pages on 2026-06-09.

Mule Deer Hunting in Unit 49

Unit 49 lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties and covers about 538 square miles. Ground runs from 7,959 to 14,247 feet. CPW bounds it by Continental Divide and Colo. 9 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put mule deer success here as high as 56%. Federal land covers about 72% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 49

What CPW publishes for unit 49 is a boundary, not a mule deer map. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties. It runs to about 538 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Continental Divide, Colo. 9 and U.S. 285

CPW has unit 49 bounded on the north by Continental Divide; on the east by Colo. 9 and U.S. 285; on the south by U.S. 24; on the west by Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek. It tells you the shape of the unit and nothing about its inhabitants. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.

High ground inside the line: Gemini Peak, Horseshoe Mountain and Dyer Mountain

Named high points inside the unit include Gemini Peak at 13,918 feet, Horseshoe Mountain at 13,899 feet, Dyer Mountain at 13,838 feet, Mount Buckskin at 13,836 feet and Traver Peak at 13,826 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Mule deer bed on broken ground with a view and feed on the brush below it.

Holding ground: Idaho Park, Gold Basin and Browns Pass

Below them sit Idaho Park at 11,472 feet, Gold Basin at 11,354 feet, Browns Pass at 11,324 feet, Alps Gulch at 11,307 feet and Mineral Park at 11,274 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Public ground to start from: Paddock SWA, Treasurevault Mountain STL and Alma SWA

CPW lists Paddock SWA, Treasurevault Mountain STL, Alma SWA, Antero STL and Chubb Park Ranch SWA inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 72% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The herd this unit belongs to: D-16

CPW does not manage mule deer unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit D-16, and unit 49 is one piece of it. The rest of D-16 is unit 57, unit 58 and unit 581. That matters twice over: the population objective and the licence numbers are set for the whole area, and the animals move across unit lines inside it without noticing them.

How to Hunt Mule Deer in Unit 49

CPW's own harvest estimates put mule deer success in unit 49 at archery 14% and rifle 56%. A number like that comes from few tags and a short season, not from easy hunting. The plan: glass the broken edges at first light, then sit still and keep glassing the same ground.

Glassing from McNamee Peak, Mount Sheridan and Ptarmigan Peak

Take a position on one of McNamee Peak (13,747 ft), Mount Sheridan (13,736 ft), Ptarmigan Peak (13,736 ft) and Loveland Mountain (13,696 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. A tripod is worth more here than another hour of walking. On the rut hunts, late-season hunts put bucks with doe groups and moving in daylight.

Water against feed

There are 4,547 mapped stream reaches and 460 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. A tank with no tracks is a tank with no reason to sit on it.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Getting past the roads: CR 22 and US 285

Where unit 49 sits inside D-16

Across D-16, CPW's 2023 mule deer success runs 51% in unit 58, 49% in unit 49, 49% in unit 581 and 45% in unit 57. That puts unit 49 behind 1 of the 3 other units in the herd. If the draw lets you choose, unit 58 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Mount Cameron, Gemini Peak, Horseshoe Mountain and Mount Buckskin as places to see from, and Cameron Amphitheatre, Mosquito Pass, Empire Amphitheater and Alma SWA as ground to watch.

Elk Hunting in Unit 49

Unit 49 lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties and covers about 538 square miles. Ground runs from 7,959 to 14,247 feet. CPW bounds it by Continental Divide and Colo. 9 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put elk success here as high as 42%. Federal land covers about 72% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Elk in Unit 49

CPW draws an exact line around unit 49 and says nothing about where the elk stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties. It runs to about 538 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Continental Divide, Colo. 9 and U.S. 285

CPW has unit 49 bounded on the north by Continental Divide; on the east by Colo. 9 and U.S. 285; on the south by U.S. 24; on the west by Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.

High ground inside the line: Mount Arkansas, Mosquito Peak and McNamee Peak

Named high points inside the unit include Mount Arkansas at 13,768 feet, Mosquito Peak at 13,758 feet, McNamee Peak at 13,747 feet, Mount Sheridan at 13,736 feet and Ptarmigan Peak at 13,736 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Elk want timber to bed in and open ground to feed on, within a short walk of each other.

Holding ground: Fremont Pass, Horseshoe Gulch and Weber Gulch

Below them sit Fremont Pass at 11,259 feet, Horseshoe Gulch at 11,240 feet, Weber Gulch at 11,226 feet, Buffalo Meadows at 11,101 feet and Pigtail Gulch at 10,921 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.

Public ground to start from: Chubb Park STL, Delmonica Gulch STL and Paddock SWA

CPW lists Chubb Park STL, Delmonica Gulch STL, Paddock SWA, Treasurevault Mountain STL and Alma SWA inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 72% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The herd this unit belongs to: E-22

CPW does not manage elk unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit E-22, and unit 49 is one piece of it. The rest of E-22 is unit 57 and unit 58. So the objective behind your tag was written for that whole area, and a neighbouring unit in the same herd is a fairer comparison than the statewide figure.

Reading the land status

Unit 49 terrain and land status

Measured from the unit boundary, not from the agency write-up

The lay of it

8,230–12,467 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 10,572 ft ; peaks can run higher. That spread means you can hunt two seasons in one day — plan clothing for both ends.
537.9 sq mi inside the boundary.

Who owns the ground

Private / Other — 100%

Roughly 0% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Water on the ground

460 tanks
4,547 stream segments
21 lakes

Counts from mapping data, so this is how many exist, not how many hold water in a dry year. Sitting water only pays where you find fresh tracks.

Named features inside the unit

Glass from: Mount Cameron (14,241 ft), Gemini Peak (13,918 ft), Horseshoe Mountain (13,899 ft), Mount Buckskin (13,836 ft)

Holding ground: Cameron Amphitheatre (13,181 ft), Mosquito Pass (13,170 ft), Empire Amphitheater (12,200 ft), Alma SWA, Antero STL

Every one of these was tested against the unit polygon before it went on the map. They are starting points, not agency recommendations.

How to Hunt Elk in Unit 49

CPW's own harvest estimates put elk success in unit 49 at archery 22%, muzzleloader 25% and rifle 42%. That is an ordinary spread for this country, and it rewards whoever scouted. The plan: find the feed, find the timber it backs onto, then watch the seam between them at the edges of the day.

Glassing from Treasurevault Mountain, White Ridge and Mount Tweto

Take a position on one of Treasurevault Mountain (13,682 ft), White Ridge (13,677 ft), Mount Tweto (13,653 ft) and Mount Evans (13,578 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. Glass the edges first, then the shaded timber, then the edges again as the light goes. On the rut hunts, September bugling works where you can get above a drainage and let the thermals carry sound downhill.

Water against feed

There are 4,547 mapped stream reaches and 460 tanks inside the unit, so water is rarely the limiting factor. Where water is everywhere, feed is what concentrates animals, so hunt the feed and treat water as a convenience. Sitting water works where you can see fresh tracks going in, and nowhere else.

Timing the season: Sep, Oct, Nov

Getting past the roads: CR 22 and US 285

Where unit 49 sits inside E-22

Across E-22, CPW's 2023 elk success runs 36% in unit 49, 31% in unit 57 and 25% in unit 58. Unit 49 is the best of them on that measure, which usually means fewer tags rather than more animals. Success inside one herd moves with tag numbers and season length as much as with animals, so read the licence count alongside it.

Colorado rules that decide your day

Summarised from CPW regulations. They change — read the current regulations and your permit-tag before you hunt.

Legal shooting hours

Big game may be taken from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Motorized retrieval

Tagging

Validate and attach your carcass tag before the animal is moved, and keep evidence of sex attached until the carcass reaches your home or a processor.

Leaving meat

Abandoning edible meat is illegal. CPW counts the four quarters and the loins.

Where you may not shoot

Occupied structures — No discharging a firearm within 50 yards of a developed campsite, and never toward an occupied building.
Roads — No shooting from or across a public road, and no shooting from a motor vehicle.

Elk: where to put the shot

Broadside or quartering away, on the back edge of the front leg about a third of the way up the body. That is lungs, and on a quartering-away angle it picks up the far shoulder.

Shots to refuse

No straight-on and no straight-away shots. An elk's chest is deep and the margin is small.
Nothing standing behind or overlapping the animal you picked. A pass-through kills the elk behind it too.
Your maximum range is the farthest you have put three shots in a paper plate off the sticks you are actually carrying. Not the farthest you have ever hit anything.
Scope on 3–4x. A herd fills a 12x field of view and you lose the animal you picked.

Identification:On an antlerless tag, legal means no antler of any kind through the skin. A spike looks exactly like a cow until it turns its head. If you can't see the head, don't shoot.

Plan the carry: roughly 150– 220 lb of boned-out meat, before head and hide — two to four large coolers, plus bagged ice from town. ProHunt planning estimate, not an agency figure.

CPW's 2026 draw recap for elk in unit 49, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

EM049O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Bull Only, resident: 771 applicants for 52 licences, 6.7% drawn, 11 preference points needed
EE049O1A — Archery, 1st Season, Either Sex, resident: 727 applicants for 118 licences, 16.2% drawn, 7 preference points needed
EF049O2R — Rifle, 2nd Season, Cow Only, resident: 659 applicants for 81 licences, 12.3% drawn, 1 preference point needed
EF049O3R — Rifle, 3rd Season, Cow Only, resident: 630 applicants for 95 licences, 15.1% drawn, 1 preference point needed

Colorado runs a pure preference-point draw, so the point figure above is the requirement the agency published for that code in that year, not a forecast for the next one. There are 22 further code-and-residency combinations in the recap for this unit. Figures checked against CPW's own statistics pages on 2026-06-09.

Moose Hunting in Unit 49

Unit 49 lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties and covers about 538 square miles. Ground runs from 7,959 to 14,247 feet. CPW bounds it by Continental Divide and Colo. 9 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put Shiras moose success here as high as 67%. Federal land covers about 72% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit 49

CPW's material on unit 49 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its Shiras moose live. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lake, Park and Chaffee counties. It runs to about 538 square miles.

The lines of the unit: Continental Divide, Colo. 9 and U.S. 285

CPW has unit 49 bounded on the north by Continental Divide; on the east by Colo. 9 and U.S. 285; on the south by U.S. 24; on the west by Arkansas River and Tennessee Creek. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.

High ground inside the line: Loveland Mountain, Treasurevault Mountain and White Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Loveland Mountain at 13,696 feet, Treasurevault Mountain at 13,682 feet, White Ridge at 13,677 feet, Mount Tweto at 13,653 feet and Mount Evans at 13,578 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Moose want willow, water and shade, and they rarely leave the drainage that has all three.

Holding ground: Breakneck Pass, South Evans Gulch and Lincoln Gulch

Below them sit Breakneck Pass at 10,918 feet, South Evans Gulch at 10,915 feet, Lincoln Gulch at 10,826 feet, Dolly Varden Gulch at 10,719 feet and Little Sacramento Gulch at 10,695 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Reaching the edge of one before light beats reaching its middle at noon.

Public ground to start from: Antero STL, Chubb Park Ranch SWA and Chubb Park STL

CPW lists Antero STL, Chubb Park Ranch SWA, Chubb Park STL, Delmonica Gulch STL and Paddock SWA inside this unit as ground open to public hunting. Each property sets its own restrictions, and the agency's page for it is where they are written down. Federal land covers about 72% of the unit on top of those.

Water in this unit

The herd this unit belongs to: M-8

CPW does not manage Shiras moose unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit M-8, and unit 49 is one piece of it. The rest of M-8 is unit 39, unit 46, unit 50, unit 391, unit 461, unit 500 and unit 501. Read a neighbour in the same herd before you read the state average — the herd, not the unit line, is what the agency is steering.

How to Hunt Shiras Moose in Unit 49

CPW's own harvest estimates put Shiras moose success in unit 49 at 67% across all manners of take. A number like that comes from few tags and a short season, not from easy hunting. The plan: walk the willow bottoms slowly at first and last light and look for fresh browse before you look for the animal.

Glassing from Weston Peak, Kuss Peak and North Star Mountain

Take a position on one of Weston Peak (13,567 ft), Kuss Peak (13,548 ft), North Star Mountain (13,446 ft) and Finnback Knob (13,393 ft) and be on it before light. Cold air slides downhill in the dark, so keep your scent out of the bowl you mean to watch; expect the thermals to turn uphill an hour after the sun reaches the slope. Give a basin forty minutes before you decide it is empty. On the rut hunts, late September bulls answer a cow call near water.

Where unit 49 sits inside M-8

Across M-8, CPW's 2023 Shiras moose success runs 100% in unit 46, 100% in unit 50, 100% in unit 500, 86% in unit 501 and 67% in unit 49. That puts unit 49 behind 4 of the 5 other units in the herd. If the draw lets you choose, unit 46 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.
