Colorado Elk Unit 131

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 131.

Unit 131 is classic Upper Yampa country southwest of Steamboat Springs, a stacked landscape that climbs from private hay-meadow and sage valley bottoms along Highway 131 into aspen benches and Routt National Forest timber toward the Flat Tops shoulder, and for elk that layering is everything. Our pack tracks the bands that matter: the rich 7,800 to 9,000 foot Gambel oak and aspen transition, dark spruce-fir above 9,000 feet, and reliable water in Trout Creek, Fish Creek, and Morrison Creek feeding Stagecoach Reservoir. Inside you get 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.
