CO Mule Deer Unit 511

CO 511: Tactical Analysis Terrain & Access Unit 511 spans 5,952–9,679 ft elevation across 232,000 acres in the Pikes Peak region. With 68% public land, the unit offers solid access to a mix of lower-elevation foothills and high-country terrain. The elevation range supports diverse habitat from transition zones to alpine ridges, giving hunters flexibility to adapt to seasonal conditions and hunting pressure. Road access is present at lower elevations, but higher basins and ridgetops require foot travel. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys indicate a 29:100 buck:doe ratio — an above-average herd composition that suggests healthy recruitment and balanced harvest..
