Colorado Elk Unit 47

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 47.

GMU 47 is a vertical wilderness backbone, climbing from the 6,800 ft Fryingpan River canyon and Ruedi Reservoir to a 13,500 ft alpine divide along the Williams Mountains, so elk hunters here are reading elevation, not roads. The Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness core means foot or horseback only, while perennial drainages and aspen-conifer benches concentrate animals in predictable bands as season and snow push them lower. Our data pack delivers 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 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.
