At a Glance
This unit is unique in that it includes three urban areas as well as the east half of Rocky Mountain National Park, which is closed to hunting, plus a mule deer or elk season is going on every month from August through January.
Plenty of elk and a lot of public land with great access and many mature bulls make this a great place to hunt. The state does not manage for big deer, but a few trophy class bucks are taken every year. Hunters must draw any elk or deer tag. Many Rocky Mountain National Park elk migrate to private property.
Quick Tips
- Bring tackle for trout fishing

- Hike around private land
