Number of Points Needed for CO Elk
Another thing to look at is the objective for the particular unit. I read about unit 551; GoHunt indicates they are seeking to reduce elk tag numbers to allow for mule deer. However, the available tags given each year fluctuate up and down. During 4th Rifle, available tags were reduced... -

7 preffy points
...away from roads helps but area still sees a lot of use. Unit 49 is a long shot with 7 points, took 9 last year to guarantee a tag. Also hunted 551 twice second season, elk the first time and deer the second time. Didn’t see a ton of deer but 4th season could be different if they get pushed... -

Co.unit 551
I haven’t found that the ATV traffic effects the elk. The elk are in there but tend to move quite a lot. I have a couple areas that have had elk passing through but I really need to figure out their hiding spots.- The Hollow

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... -

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... -
