CO Pronghorn Unit 49

CO 49 Tactical Analysis. Terrain & Access CO 49 spans high alpine country between 7,800 and 14,200 feet across 344,000 acres. Three-quarters of the unit sits on public land, providing solid DIY access. Twelve percent wilderness adds some backcountry character but leaves most of the unit roaded or foot-accessible. The high elevation limits the season to relatively cool months, but the abundant public acreage means hunters can find solitude and avoid pressure points. Herd Quality Wildlife surveys document a strong buck:doe ratio averaging 38:100—above average for pronghorn. This indicates healthy recruitment and a herd not being over-harvested..
