At a Glance
The southwest part of this unit borders Salida and runs about 30 miles north to Trout Creek Pass. Mule deer and elk inhabit private land and a larger amount of public land in the form of the San Isabel National Forest and BLM ground, including most of Browns Canyon Wilderness Study Area.
Resident elk and mule deer inhabit isolated mountains in early seasons and large bucks and bulls migrate here during late seasons from high ranges to the west and north, though the bigger bucks tend to come from private land. Antelope are scarce.
