Colorado Deer Unit 55

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 55.

Colorado GMU 55 stacks vertically from roughly 5,400 feet on the Hotchkiss valley floor to over 13,000 feet at West Elk Peak, and for deer hunters that volcanic West Elk country means everything funnels through a thick Gambel oak brush band between about 6,800 and 8,500 feet, the unit's defining transition jungle. Deer slide off the alpine onto mid-mountain oak-aspen benches as frosts hit, pressing toward private North Fork Valley winter range late. The 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 select 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.
