Colorado Elk Unit 82

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 82.

Colorado Unit 82 is a unit of extremes: elk hunters trade the flat, arid, closed-basin floor of the San Luis Valley near 7,500 feet for the abrupt wall of the Sangre de Cristo Range, where Crestone Peak, Kit Carson, and Humboldt top 14,000, nearly 7,000 vertical feet of relief in one unit. Surface water is scarce on the flats but perennial in the mountain drainages like Sand, Cottonwood, and Medano Creek, and public access concentrates in the steep east against a tricky Park-versus-Preserve, private-ranch mosaic. Our pack breaks it all down: 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.
