At a Glance
West of Fort Collins along the Poudre River is a bighorn herd estimated to be near 75 bighorns. Resident limited license can also be used in unit S18. The majority of public lands are on the Roosevelt National Forest.
This area has high recreational use by hikers, fishermen and rafters. Some sections of the Poudre Canyon are very narrow and steep, which means limited glassing opportunities. Try to glass early morning to mid afternoon. This can be a difficult hunt due to terrain.
Quick Tips
- Glassing Poudre Canyon from the highway
