    Pronghorns in Gunnison basin?

    The area has a small population that gets somewhat frequently hammered by tough winters. The population objective for 66, 67, and 551 combined is 450 animals, and the 2019 postseason estimate was 320. The trophy quality does not approach justifying the 19 points it takes to draw a license in...

    Legal? Who is shooting?

    First buck

    I drew my first antelope tag this year in Colorado GMU 551 for muzzle loader. This unit is better known for elk and deer, but it has a small pronghorn population. I spent a lot of time scouting this summer and was encouraged by what I was seeing. No monsters, but several bucks I would be...

    archery 551

    Hi redwards. I also am hunting archery in 551 and had the same concern. I asked a few of the mountain bike and fly fishing shops about the 551 area traffic and none seemed to think there would be much traffic in the area. However, I asked around Crested Butte, so that may not be the most...

    Colorado Unit 551

    Yeah, but I only hunted that area a couple times. The elk move to difficult terrain once hunting season starts. Be prepared to be hiking canyons and the thick dark timber. If the temperature is warm head up high and hunt the higher elevations. It's a difficult area to hunt but chance of...

    Colorado Unit 551

    Sounds like your friends are hunting 56 and 561? The boundary between 551 and 56/561 is one of the most vertical rugged boundaries in the state. Just mentioning that because though you may be hunting just one unit over, you probably won't have contact with your friends, at least not in the...

    Gunnison Archery Elk- 54, 551

    I've hunted the east side of 551 twice and have seen elk each time. I was hunting second season with an OTC tag so can't speak to crowds during the earlier season, but it wasn't real crowded and hiking a bit got you away from the majority of hunters.

    Hi everyone, Planning a bowhunt/ML hunt with my dad in Colorado next fall, area 551. What time of year is best to contact the wildlife officers? I understand it may be somewhat contingent on the weather, but I also don't want to contact them when they are overwhelmed by people (immediately...

    Colorado Unit 551

    Where would you start to look for elk and preferably away from others. I not afraid of getting off the beaten path if it means good hunting. I was thinking about a scouting trip off of 114 near dome peak.
