At a Glance
This unit is located on the west side of the state and just outside of the town of Rifle. This unit is largely private land but some big public parcels can be hunted. Deer and elk populations are good here but many of the animals will spend a good portion of the year in and around private land. Many roads crisscross the landscape and making finding secluded areas somewhat more difficult.
Decent populations of deer and elk will be encountered here but the struggles of locating public lands to hunt can be a big turn-off for many hunters.
Quick Tips
- Optics will be important
- Maps detailing land ownership will be helpful
- Tires chains or ATV's can be beneficial during inclement weather
