...Been doing a little research on some units but having a hard time deciding on units and if I should hold out for a fourth season tag. I have the gohunt app, but would love to hear what some of you guys think. Unit 551 has my interest along with 22, 55 and a couple others. Feel free to send a PM.
Is it a private land hunt? The western 1/3 is pretty heavily private. The eastern portion is almost all public. Its steep and pretty rugged as it is where the Monarch pass crosses over the range.
I have 15 NR preference points for Colorado. I've been doing research and narrowed applying to units 6 and 551. I'll be hunting alone, so I want to know what I would need to expect/where I'm going to find deer. My first question regarding unit 6 is, how hard was the 2022/23 winter in this...
I desperately want to find someone that has hunted the first rifle portion for elk in 551 in Colorado. Unless something wild happens this year, I will be able to draw the tag. I’ve had some good conversations with folks that have hunted around 551, but not in it for elk. Do any past 551 first...
This is the gospel truth. My truck bottomed out on forest service “roads” a lot in 551. I was driving around sage and boulders to get through roads I had no business being in.

...is more comical guys who post specific unit #s or guys who complain on every single post that has specific units on it. Thus boosting the post.
551 is 546sq miles with 87% public. Doubt someone posting it is going to spot burn it 🤣
I don't understand how posting Unit #s is so frowned upon...
1. Read his post again, that's not all he asked. Just because Colorado GMUs are large doesn't mean the crowd gets dispersed evenly, there are plenty of access constraints in that unit.
2. If you think one post on the internet doesn't expose spots your doubt is misplaced again.
