Colorado Unit 481 Description

Unit 481 Located in Chaffee County bounded on the North by South Fork of Clear Creek and Clear Creek; on the East by the Arkansas River; on the South by Chalk Creek and Tincup Pass Rd. from St. Elmo; on the West by the Continental Divide.

GMU 481 Elevation: 14,420 on Mt. Harvard to 7,710 near Nathrop. Terrain: Broad, level valley bottom, changing rapidly to steep, rough mountains.  Vegetation: Grassy hay meadows to aspens and ponderosa to spruce and fir to alpine tundra. Weather: Extremely variable; first freeze or snow may occur in early September. Land Status: Approximately 80 percent public and 20 percent private. Hunter Access: Fair. Public roads, trails provide limited access to public lands. Considerable wilderness with trails that are foot or horseback only. Deer: Deer are found throughout the unit, but better deer hunting at lower elevations. In later seasons, deer will move down toward the town of Buena Vista and along Hwy 24. Elk: Look for elk throughout the unit primarily in the 8,000 to 10,000-foot elevation range. Steep, rough country. Elk above timberline in the areas around Frenchman Creek, east face of Mt. Princeton and the Heckendorf State Wildlife Area, which is below timberline. First season finds elk anywhere from 7500’ to above timberline. The amount of snow will determine where the elk are. Follow the snow line down as snow progresses.
