CO Moose Unit 49

CO 49 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 49 spans 7,800–14,200 feet across 344,000 acres of high-country terrain in the central Colorado Rockies. Three-quarters of the unit lies on public land, offering substantial opportunity for foot-based hunting in untracked backcountry. Twelve percent wilderness designation adds alpine and subalpine complexity; expect significant elevation gain and exposure to weather. High-elevation access means late-season conditions and snow influence habitat use and hunter logistics. Trophy Potential Park County, which overlaps CO 49, holds a moose record-book history spanning decades. Recent entries cluster in the 140–160 range; a 2020 entry reached..
