Colorado Turkey Unit 49

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Colorado Game Management Unit 49.

Turkey hunting GMU 49 means working the edges of a high-alpine fortress in Chaffee County, where the Arkansas River bottoms near Buena Vista and Nathrop sit around 7,000 feet before the Sawatch Range climbs past 14,200, so birds favor the lower sagebrush, pinon-juniper stringers, ponderosa, and Gambel oak benches rather than the granite above. Reliable water from drainages like Chalk Creek and Cottonwood Creek, plus mast and serviceberry forage, shapes daily movement, while access funnels through US 285, CR 162, and CR 306. The pack includes 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.
