Elk, antelope and mule deer can be found in this area, which includes Pueblo, foothills and flatlands southwest of the town of Pueblo. Nearly a quarter million acres of San Isabel National Forest are in the Wet and Greenland Mountains.
This unit has a few big bull elk, but few are killed, especially on public land. Hunters who scout public land before hunting seasons often report seeing big bulls, but hunting pressure eventually pushes many of them into dense cover or into private land. Some lightly hunted private ranches report high hunter success on bulls and occasionally bigger animals. Whitetail bucks are hunted over-the-counter with low numbers. There is heavy traffic on dirt roads.
