At a Glance

950Square Miles

92.8%Public Land

9,000 - 10,500Elevation Range

This large unit is almost entirely public and features a huge portion of the famed Flat Tops Wilderness. Great deer and elk populations can be found here but hunters will still need to work hard to locate mature animals. Hunters will find all manner of adventure here from deep backpacking trips to big day hunts.

This unit offers some incredible opportunities but the hunting pressure is still high and locating mature animals can be a chore. Many roads become impassible by early to mid-November but a large portion of the game will have migrated into lower elevations by that time.

Quick Tips

Be prepared for blizzards in October
Many black bears
Excellent trout fishing
Warning: insect-killed trees fall in high winds
