Colorado Unit 61 Hunting Information
Unit-wide landowner tags give landowners a special chance to control hunting on their land. They offer access to top spots on both public and private land, making it easier to have a successful elk hunt. These tags let landowners and their guests hunt exclusively on their land based on the size and number of elk. Obtaining one of these tags gives you access to some of the best hunting spots in Colorado, including Unit 61, known for great elk hunting during the Archery Season. With these tags, hunters can plan their elk hunts without needing to enter a lottery system, which helps wildlife and nature. Colorado's Parks and Wildlife Commission ensures these tags are used responsibly to protect the environment, helping keep elk numbers healthy and supporting efforts to protect wildlife and their homes.
