AI Scout Preview

CO 2 — Tactical Overview. Terrain & Access CO 2 spans nearly 764,000 acres across a substantial elevation range (5,078–8,986 ft), with 99% public land ownership. The unit is almost entirely huntable terrain without private-land access barriers — a significant advantage for self-directed hunters. Elevation spread accommodates both lower-elevation piñon-juniper and higher-country forest habitat, offering flexibility for hunters to adjust strategy based on seasonal conditions and animal movement between elevation zones. Trophy Potential The counties overlapping CO 2 hold a limited but consistent black bear record-book history. Recent entries (2011–2021) show bears scoring in the low-20s range..
