Colorado Elk Unit 82

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

Unit 82 is a unit of vertical extremes, where the southern tip of the San Juan Mountains drops from Continental Divide ridges above 12,900 feet into oak-brush benches and sage parks near 7,200 feet along the Navajo River and the New Mexico line. Elk hunters here play the transition between water-rich alpine cirques and the drier southern third, while big private holdings like Banded Peak Ranch funnel access and pressure. Our data pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. You 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.
