Colorado Deer Unit 49

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 49.

GMU 49 is a vertical alpine fortress in Chaffee County, where the Sawatch Range and Collegiate Peaks Wilderness throw fourteen-thousand-foot summits over glacial drainages before plunging to the arid Arkansas River bottoms near 7,000 feet, so deer hunters must read elevation as carefully as terrain. Late-season animals slide to south and west-facing sagebrush and piñon-juniper benches between 7,500 and 9,500 feet, while perennial drainages like Chalk Creek and Cottonwood Creek keep water reliable. The pack delivers 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.
