INFO: Elk Hunting in Colorado Unit 62
Elevation levels are not much of an indicator for elk activity. They may just be passing through, but elk can be spotted in this unit with no regard for altitude. However, the vegetation of oakbrush and junipers of the medial elevations does attract the elk to this section of the unit. The dense oakbrush in some areas makes close-range hunting the best plan of action. Since this unit is frequented by many other hunters, you may see better success by getting off the beaten path and tracking elk in those more remote areas. However, do be mindful of the private land territories that obstruct access. A GPS Unit would be helpful to aid in this dilemma and also keep you on course when stepping away from trails.

Elk deer sizes in Unit 62 range between 280” and 310”, making this a trophy elk unit with the potential measuring higher than 320”!
