CO Mule Deer Unit 444

CO 444 — Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 444 spans 237,245 acres across high elevation terrain, ranging from 5,718 to 13,112 feet. With 69% public land, the unit offers solid access to huntable country, though topography becomes increasingly steep and exposed at alpine elevations. Lower drainages and mid-elevation benches provide vehicle and foot access; higher peaks demand technical scrambling. Proximity to towns like Glenwood allows reasonable logistical support. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate an average buck:doe ratio (25:100), reflecting typical management for a unit with moderate hunting pressure. This ratio supports consistent opportunity for hunters..
