Colorado Elk Unit 28

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 28.

Unit 28 in northwest Colorado's Rio Blanco County is defined by its high-desert-meets-mountain transition, where pinyon-juniper mesas and Gambel oak benches near 6,000 feet climb through aspen and dark timber toward 9,500-foot ridges along the southern White River Forest fringe. Elk key on shaded north aspects and reliable water early, then shift to mid-mountain benches and finally south-facing sage slopes as snow pushes them down. Our data 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 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.
