AI Scout Preview

CO 69 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 69 spans 186,737 acres across an elevation range of 5,153–10,408 feet, offering diverse terrain from lower foothill and mid-elevation forest to high alpine. With 36.5% public land, roughly two-thirds of the unit remains in private ownership—a significant constraint for unguided hunters. Accessible public parcels will require strategic scouting and pre-hunt planning to locate and navigate; expect some portions to require permission or outfitter services, particularly on prime habitat. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys document an above-average/strong elk population, with an average bull:cow ratio of 35:100 across multiple years..
