CO Moose Unit 5

CO 5 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 5 spans 6,520–10,822 feet across 191,204 acres with two-thirds public land. The elevation range supports both lower-country montane habitat and high alpine terrain, offering diverse moose country across a mix of accessible national forest and BLM parcels. The 66% public-land base provides solid opportunity for unguided hunters willing to cover country. Herd Quality Recent moose surveys are not reflected in the structured context. Without current population or bull:cow ratio data, herd composition cannot be assessed. Trophy Potential Routt County—which overlaps CO 5—holds a modest historical moose record..
