Colorado Bear Unit 461

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 461.

Unit 461 is decomposed-granite Front Range country where two landscape-defining burns, the 1996 Buffalo Creek and 2002 Hayman fires, reshaped the eastern half into early-successional parks now flush with the Gambel oak, mountain mahogany, and bitterbrush that pull bears to feed. Canyon floors sit near 6,400 feet along the North Fork South Platte and climb past 10,000 feet toward the Kenosha Mountains and Lost Creek Wilderness, with a private checkerboard threading the US 285 and County Road 126 corridors. Our pack breaks down Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
