CO Elk Unit 28

CO 28 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 28 spans 7,337–13,525 feet across 424,738 acres with approximately 71% public land. This elevation range provides both accessible lower-country terrain and high-elevation sanctuary, with diverse habitat transition across the band. Meaningful public acreage supports self-guided hunting, though private land patchwork will require route planning. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a bull:cow ratio averaging 41:100—a strong, above-average herd composition indicating robust breeding-age bull presence and solid management. This ratio reflects consistent opportunity to encounter mature bulls across the unit and suggests the population is not being over-harvested. ##..
