Colorado Deer Unit 500

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 500.

Colorado's Unit 500 is northwestern transition country, where the rugged Elkhead Mountains rise out of sweeping Yampa and Little Snake River sage flats, and the deer game is all about that defining belt of dense Gambel oak brush. Elevations run from 6,200-foot river bottoms to roughly 10,800 feet atop Black and Sand Mountains, with deer drifting toward mid-elevation benches where aspen meets oak, then funneling to low-elevation BLM wintering grounds. We cover it cold across Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose into 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.
