Elk Hunting in Unit 67

Where to Find Elk in Unit 67

CPW's material on unit 67 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its elk 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 Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and North Pass

CPW has unit 67 bounded on the north by U.S. 50; on the east by Colo. 114 and North Pass; on the east and south by Continental Divide; on the west by Cochetopa Creek-Spring Creek divide and Groundhog Park, Cathedral Creek, Spring Creek, Cebolla Creek and Colo. 149. 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: Stewart Peak, Organ Mountain and Baldy Alto

Named high points inside the unit include Stewart Peak at 13,967 feet, Organ Mountain at 13,771 feet, Baldy Alto at 13,679 feet, Willow Mesa at 12,537 feet and Sawtooth Mountain at 12,138 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: Cañon Diablo, Soro Park and Horsefly Park

Below them sit Cañon Diablo at 10,740 feet, Soro Park at 10,581 feet, Horsefly Park at 10,517 feet, Los Pinos Pass at 10,516 feet and Ignacio Park at 10,369 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Public ground to start from: Cochetopa SWA, Dome Lakes SWA and Dutch Gulch SWA

CPW lists Cochetopa SWA, Dome Lakes SWA, Dutch Gulch SWA, Los Creek STL and Mason Family 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 85% of the unit on top of those.

Water: Big Springs, Right Spring and Cold Spring

Named sources include Big Springs, Right Spring, Cold Spring, Simmons Spring and East Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: E-25

CPW does not manage elk unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit E-25, and unit 67 is one piece of it. The rest of E-25 is unit 66. 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.

Unit 67 terrain and land status

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

The lay of it

8,512–12,983 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 9,807 ft ; peaks can run higher. That spread means you can hunt two seasons in one day — plan clothing for both ends.
673.1 sq mi inside the boundary.

Who owns the ground

National Forest — 60%
BLM — 15%
State Trust — 8%
Private / Other — 17%

Roughly 83% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Water on the ground

849 tanks
40 springs
3,336 stream segments
16 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: Stewart Peak (13,967 ft), Organ Mountain (13,771 ft), Sawtooth Mountain (12,138 ft), Cochetopa Dome (11,129 ft)

Holding ground: Willow Park (11,328 ft), Elk Park (10,787 ft), Groundhog Park (10,755 ft), Cochetopa SWA, Dutch Gulch SWA

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 67

CPW's own harvest estimates put elk success in unit 67 at archery 17%, muzzleloader 20% and rifle 26%. 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 Polepatch Hill, Rudolph Hill and Huntsman Mesa

Take a position on one of Polepatch Hill (10,367 ft), Rudolph Hill (10,116 ft), Huntsman Mesa (10,084 ft) and Cooper Mountain (10,018 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. 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.

Getting past the roads

There is little true four-wheel-drive road here, so distance from the gravel is the only thing separating you from the next hunter. One mapped public entry point falls inside the unit, so decide which one you take before the morning you take it.

Where unit 67 sits inside E-25

Across E-25, CPW's 2023 elk success runs 34% in unit 66 and 24% in unit 67. Unit 67 is the lowest of them, so whatever drives success in this herd is happening somewhere else in it. If the draw lets you choose, unit 66 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.

The way in: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and Colo. 149

We have no road inventory for this unit, so the only routes we can name are the ones CPW draws the boundary with: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and Colo. 149. Those are its edges, not its interior — useful because they are where you leave the pavement, and useless for telling you what the inside is like. Pick the edge nearest the country you mean to hunt and work in from it on foot, rather than driving the perimeter looking for a way through.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Stewart Peak, Organ Mountain, Sawtooth Mountain and Cochetopa Dome as places to see from, and Willow Park, Elk Park, Groundhog Park and Cochetopa 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 a day here costs you

674 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. Leave the truck earlier than you want to and you will hunt the best half-hour of the 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.

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 67, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

EM067O2R — Rifle, 2nd Season, Bull Only, resident: 457 applicants for 99 licences, 21.7% drawn, no preference points needed
EF067O2R — Rifle, 2nd Season, Cow Only, resident: 422 applicants for 69 licences, 16.4% drawn, no preference points needed
EM067O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Bull Only, resident: 400 applicants for 114 licences, 28.5% drawn, 1 preference point needed
EF067O3R — Rifle, 3rd Season, Cow Only, resident: 367 applicants for 94 licences, 25.6% drawn, no 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 18 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 67

Unit 67 lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties. CPW bounds it by U.S. 50 and Colo. 114 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put mule deer success here as high as 75%. Federal land covers about 85% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Mule Deer in Unit 67

CPW draws an exact line around unit 67 and says nothing about where the mule deer stand inside it. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and North Pass

CPW has unit 67 bounded on the north by U.S. 50; on the east by Colo. 114 and North Pass; on the east and south by Continental Divide; on the west by Cochetopa Creek-Spring Creek divide and Groundhog Park, Cathedral Creek, Spring Creek, Cebolla Creek and Colo. 149. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Agency Peak, Cochetopa Dome and Black Ridge

Named high points inside the unit include Agency Peak at 11,717 feet, Cochetopa Dome at 11,129 feet, Black Ridge at 10,539 feet, Polepatch Hill at 10,367 feet and Rudolph Hill at 10,116 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: Cañon Hondo, Sage Park and Burro Park

Below them sit Cañon Hondo at 10,292 feet, Sage Park at 10,183 feet, Burro Park at 10,122 feet, Cold Spring Park at 10,054 feet and Porcupine Gulch at 10,040 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Public ground to start from: Tomichi Creek SWA, Cochetopa SWA and Dome Lakes SWA

CPW lists Tomichi Creek SWA, Cochetopa SWA, Dome Lakes SWA, Dutch Gulch SWA and Los Creek 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 85% of the unit on top of those.

Water: Big Springs, Right Spring and Cold Spring

Named sources include Big Springs, Right Spring, Cold Spring, Simmons Spring and East Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: D-57

CPW does not manage mule deer unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit D-57, and unit 67 is one piece of it. The rest of D-57 is unit 54, unit 55, unit 66 and unit 551. 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 67

CPW's own harvest estimates put mule deer success in unit 67 at archery 39% and rifle 75%. 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 Miller Hill, Swinehart Ridge and Green Mountain

Take a position on one of Miller Hill (9,845 ft), Swinehart Ridge (9,688 ft), Green Mountain (9,444 ft) and Post Ridge (9,265 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. 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.

Getting past the roads

Where unit 67 sits inside D-57

Across D-57, CPW's 2023 mule deer success runs 67% in unit 55, 67% in unit 67, 66% in unit 66, 59% in unit 551 and 55% in unit 54. Nothing in the herd beat unit 67 on that measure and one unit matched it, which on a hunt this small says more about tag numbers than about animals. Success inside one herd moves with tag numbers and season length as much as with animals, so read the licence count alongside it.

Pronghorn Hunting in Unit 67

Unit 67 lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties. CPW bounds it by U.S. 50 and Colo. 114 among others. CPW publishes no per-unit pronghorn success figure we can verify for this unit. Federal land covers about 85% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit 67

CPW draws an exact line around unit 67 and says nothing about where the pronghorn stand inside it. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and North Pass

CPW has unit 67 bounded on the north by U.S. 50; on the east by Colo. 114 and North Pass; on the east and south by Continental Divide; on the west by Cochetopa Creek-Spring Creek divide and Groundhog Park, Cathedral Creek, Spring Creek, Cebolla Creek and Colo. 149. 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: Huntsman Mesa, Cooper Mountain and Miller Hill

Named high points inside the unit include Huntsman Mesa at 10,084 feet, Cooper Mountain at 10,018 feet, Miller Hill at 9,845 feet, Swinehart Ridge at 9,688 feet and Green Mountain at 9,444 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: Rincon Quemado, North Pass and Bead Park

Below them sit Rincon Quemado at 10,012 feet, North Pass at 10,003 feet, Bead Park at 10,001 feet, Summit Park at 9,986 feet and Rock Creek Park at 9,947 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: Mason Family SWA, Tomichi Creek SWA and Cochetopa SWA

CPW lists Mason Family SWA, Tomichi Creek SWA, Cochetopa SWA, Dome Lakes SWA and Dutch Gulch 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 85% of the unit on top of those.

Water: Big Springs, Right Spring and Cold Spring

Named sources include Big Springs, Right Spring, Cold Spring, Simmons Spring and East Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: A-23

CPW does not manage pronghorn unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit A-23, and unit 67 is one piece of it. The rest of A-23 is unit 66 and unit 551. 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.

Unit 67 terrain and land status

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

The lay of it

8,512–12,983 ft on a terrain sample , averaging 9,807 ft ; peaks can run higher. That spread means you can hunt two seasons in one day — plan clothing for both ends.
673.1 sq mi inside the boundary.

Who owns the ground

National Forest — 60%
BLM — 15%
State Trust — 8%
Private / Other — 17%

Roughly 83% is public. Carry a land-status layer anyway — these are area percentages, not a map of where the boundaries fall.

Water on the ground

849 tanks
40 springs
3,336 stream segments
16 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: Stewart Peak (13,967 ft), Organ Mountain (13,771 ft), Sawtooth Mountain (12,138 ft), Cochetopa Dome (11,129 ft)

Holding ground: Willow Park (11,328 ft), Elk Park (10,787 ft), Groundhog Park (10,755 ft), Cochetopa SWA, Dutch Gulch SWA

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 67

CPW publishes no pronghorn success figure for unit 67 that we can tie to this unit alone, so we won't quote one. 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 Iron Hill, Big Mesa and Flat Top

Take a position on one of Iron Hill (9,240 ft), Big Mesa (8,751 ft), Flat Top (8,651 ft) and Tenderfoot Mountain (8,628 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. 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.

Getting past the roads

The way in: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and Colo. 149

We have no road inventory for this unit, so the only routes we can name are the ones CPW draws the boundary with: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and Colo. 149. Those are its edges, not its interior — useful because they are where you leave the pavement, and useless for telling you what the inside is like. Park on the boundary and walk; a unit you can only enter from its rim rewards whoever is willing to leave the truck at the rim.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Stewart Peak, Organ Mountain, Sawtooth Mountain and Cochetopa Dome as places to see from, and Willow Park, Elk Park, Groundhog Park and Cochetopa SWA as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Join two of them into a morning: be on the first before light, move to the second once the thermals turn.

What a day here costs you

674 square miles is more country than a week will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the unit. The ground is gentle enough that the pack-out is a distance problem rather than a climbing one. One good position held through the whole of first light beats three visited in a hurry.

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. We have no pronghorn success figure for this unit that survives checking against CPW's own harvest and hunter counts, and we would rather say so than print a statewide average as though it were measured here.

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.

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

CPW's 2023 harvest estimates carry no pronghorn row for unit 67 that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. CPW's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.

Open in Draw Odds Engine

CPW's 2026 draw recap for pronghorn in unit 67, by hunt code, with resident and nonresident kept apart because the two draw from different licence pools:

AM067O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 474 applicants for 11 licences, 2.3% drawn, 22 preference points needed
AM067O1R — Rifle, 1st Season, Buck Only, nonresident: 117 applicants for 2 licences, 1.7% drawn, 23 preference points needed
AM067O1A — Archery, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 71 applicants for 8 licences, 11.3% drawn, 8 preference points needed
AM067O1M — Muzzleloader, 1st Season, Buck Only, resident: 52 applicants for 5 licences, 9.6% drawn, 13 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 2 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 67

Unit 67 lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties. CPW bounds it by U.S. 50 and Colo. 114 among others. CPW's harvest estimates put Shiras moose success here as high as 86%. Federal land covers about 85% of it. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.

Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit 67

CPW's material on unit 67 stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its Shiras moose live. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Saguache counties.

The lines of the unit: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and North Pass

CPW has unit 67 bounded on the north by U.S. 50; on the east by Colo. 114 and North Pass; on the east and south by Continental Divide; on the west by Cochetopa Creek-Spring Creek divide and Groundhog Park, Cathedral Creek, Spring Creek, Cebolla Creek and Colo. 149. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. 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: Post Ridge, Iron Hill and Big Mesa

Named high points inside the unit include Post Ridge at 9,265 feet, Iron Hill at 9,240 feet, Big Mesa at 8,751 feet, Flat Top at 8,651 feet and Tenderfoot Mountain at 8,628 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: Monchego Park, Muddy Park and Long Park

Below them sit Monchego Park at 9,929 feet, Muddy Park at 9,898 feet, Long Park at 9,846 feet, Big Basin at 9,807 feet and Soldiers Park at 9,787 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: Los Creek STL, Mason Family SWA and Tomichi Creek SWA

CPW lists Los Creek STL, Mason Family SWA, Tomichi Creek SWA, Cochetopa SWA and Dome Lakes 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 85% of the unit on top of those.

Water: Big Springs, Right Spring and Cold Spring

Named sources include Big Springs, Right Spring, Cold Spring, Simmons Spring and East Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

The herd this unit belongs to: M-4

CPW does not manage Shiras moose unit by unit. It manages them as data analysis unit M-4, and unit 67 is one piece of it. The rest of M-4 is unit 65, unit 66, unit 68, unit 70, unit 71, unit 72, unit 73 and unit 74 and 14 more. 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.

How to Hunt Shiras Moose in Unit 67

CPW's own harvest estimates put Shiras moose success in unit 67 at 86% 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 Stewart Peak, Organ Mountain and Baldy Alto

Take a position on one of Stewart Peak (13,967 ft), Organ Mountain (13,771 ft), Baldy Alto (13,679 ft) and Willow Mesa (12,537 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.

Getting past the roads

Where unit 67 sits inside M-4

Across M-4, CPW's 2023 Shiras moose success runs 100% in unit 65, 100% in unit 66, 100% in unit 68, 100% in unit 75 and 100% in unit 76. Unit 67 is the lowest of them, so whatever drives success in this herd is happening somewhere else in it. If the draw lets you choose, unit 65 carried the better number in the same herd — check its tag count before you read that as an easier hunt.

The way in: U.S. 50, Colo. 114 and Colo. 149

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Stewart Peak, Organ Mountain, Sawtooth Mountain and Cochetopa Dome as places to see from, and Willow Park, Elk Park, Groundhog Park and Cochetopa SWA as ground to watch. Each pin is a named feature verified to fall inside the unit line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Take the pair you can reach on one road and treat the rest as a second trip.
