Colorado Bear Unit 78

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 78.

Bear hunters drawn to GMU 78 face the heart of the San Juan Mountains, a vertical alpine world where the unit floor near 7,800 feet climbs past 13,000 feet along the Continental Divide. We know where that country lives: the Gambel oak and mountain mahogany benches at lower elevations that provide critical fall mast, the aspen pockets and serviceberry through the mid-mountain conifer, and the natural-water drainages, seeps, and beaver complexes bears work as tributaries thin by late August. Our data pack breaks it all down across 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.
