North of Denver and east of Interstate 25, this almost entirely private unit includes agricultural properties, some suburban areas and a city of almost 100,000 persons. Some whitetails and mule deer live here, most of them close to the South Platte River. Expect to pay a farmer or outfitter for access.
The bottom lands along St. Vrain Creek and the South Platte and Big Thompson rivers hold many mature whitetail and mule deer bucks. Elk are very scarce in this unit and antelope are rarely harvested and hunted only with archery equipment.
