CO Pronghorn Unit 15

CO 15 – Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 15 spans nearly 315,000 acres across high-elevation terrain (6,658–10,801 ft) with 70% public land, offering solid access for self-guided hunters. The 14% wilderness component is modest and poses no outfitter requirement. Elevation spread indicates habitat diversity—lower sagebrush and grassland transition to higher country—typical pronghorn range. Public-land dominance makes unit reconnaissance and independent scouting feasible. Herd Quality Recent wildlife surveys show a 60:100 buck:doe ratio, indicating an above-average herd composition. This ratio reflects healthy male representation and suggests moderate hunting pressure, consistent with a unit that supports sustainable pronghorn..
