Colorado Deer Unit 48

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 48.

Unit 48 is a vertical world, the eastern flank of the Sawatch Range and Collegiate Peaks stacking fourteeners shoulder to shoulder above the Arkansas River trench, and for deer that means reading elevation more than reading water. With snowmelt creeks like Cottonwood, Chalk, and Clear flowing off the crest, animals are not water-bound; they follow forage from sage and Gambel oak foothills near 7,800 feet up through aspen-conifer benches in the 9,500 to 11,000 foot band. Our pack covers 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.
