Colorado Deer Unit 79

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 79.

GMU 79 is a serious mountain unit for deer hunters, a rugged slice of the southern San Juan Mountains where the South San Juan Wilderness rules out motors and the country climbs from 7,800 ft along the Conejos River to peaks above 13,000 ft like Conejos and Summit. Water is never the limiter here: the Conejos and its forks, Adams Fork, Lake Fork, and Elk Creek, run year-round through oak brush, aspen-conifer benches, and alpine seeps. Our pack covers 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 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.
