CO 138 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 138 is a low-elevation foothill unit (4,272–4,884 ft) with severe access constraints: only 2% of the unit lies on public land. This means 98% is private, limiting DIY hunters to a narrow band of accessible terrain. Scouting and hunting success depend heavily on gaining permission to hunt private property or securing access through outfitter partnerships. The modest elevation range and low public-land percentage make this a challenging unit for independent hunters without pre-established landowner relationships. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a above average buck:doe ratio of 28:100,..
