CO 20 Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 20 spans 772,318 acres across an extreme elevation range—from 4,824 ft in lower valleys to 14,226 ft alpine terrain. With 61% public land, the unit offers solid access, though elevation variation means terrain character shifts dramatically: lower country supports easier travel and scouting, while high basins present steep slopes and sparse cover typical of the Colorado Front Range. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show an above-average buck:doe ratio of 39:100—a strong indicator of healthy mule deer recruitment and manageable harvest pressure. This ratio supports consistent opportunity for quality bucks..
