CO Bighorn Sheep Unit S73 — MOUNT ZIRKEL

CO S73 – Mount Zirkel. Tactical Analysis Terrain & Access Mount Zirkel spans 7,395–12,191 feet across high alpine and subalpine terrain in north-central Colorado. Nearly 80% of the unit sits on public land, dominated by national forest, providing substantial opportunity for unguided hunters. However, 56% wilderness designation means significant portions of huntable bighorn habitat requires backcountry travel — expect steep, rocky ridges and high-elevation basins typical of Rocky Mountain sheep country. Access begins from valley trailheads; elevations range from forested lower valleys to alpine tundra and cliff bands where sheep concentrate. Trophy Potential The counties overlapping Mount Zirkel..
